WHY MEN BECOME BALD.

Lack Flesh Under Scalps, While Won
en- Have 1t, Is Unique Explanation.
Says a correspondent of the New
York Times:
1.-The reason women are not bald
headed is because a woman has layer
of flesh on her skull, and consequently
the hair gets more nourishment from
the blood. In the case of a man this
is very seldom true. but a man with
almost no difficulty can develop in his
scalp most remarkable muscles. Any
man can raise his eyebrows more or
less. If man will put his mind on it
he can soon learn TO raise his forehead
for several inches above his eyebrows.
and it will then be only n short time
before he can move his scalp in any
direction he pleases. As soon rs this
has been learned all fear of badness
is gone.
This may seem asinine. but it is not
cured myself. and 1 know. and now.
go to the BARRIERS so often that had
to cut down my smoking. This method
tried consistently for six months will
not only give a good head of hair, but
one which is proof against not only
water, but all the hair tonics which
have so far been invented"

the Union.
WASHINGTON, April %. - The
United States is now country of l09,-
100000 people, according to the bulle-
tin containing the estimates of popu-
lation for the years subsequent to the
thirteenth census, soon TO be publish
ed by Director Harris. The estimated
number July ,l9l4, will be los, OPT 900.
The population of the United States
and its possessions in 1910 was lOl,-
148, 269; so there viii have been an
estimated gain of more than 1000 600
persons in four years. The correspond
ing estimated population of Continental
United States for July l, 1914, is 9S,-
Isl, 324, as compared with the popula-
ton Of 1882, 266, as returned by emu
merators, April -, 1910. This bulle-
tin also presents the estimates of pom
ulation in 1910, 1911, 1912. 1913 and
1914, for the states and territories. and
for cities which had 5000 or more in
habitants in 1910. The so-caned arith-
metical method was adopted for COM
putting these estimates. 1t rests on the
assumption that the increase in popu-
lation each year since the enumeration
is equal to the annual increase from
1900 to 1910.
The bulletin presents in its several
tables population data for the United
States and its outlying possessions in
1910 aud 1900, with estimates of the
population July l, 1914. 1913. 1912.
1917 and 1910. Similar data is also
presented for the different states in the

The greatest single factor in the pos
sible industrial development OF Norway
lies undoubtedly in its cheap and
abundant hydroelectric power. The
country having practically no coal re
sources, the Norwegian industries are
coming to depend more and more upon
the utilization of waterfalls as pri-
mary motive-power source.

NERVES FOR OLD
Grating Experiments Upset
Accepted Theories.
WONDERFUL POSSIBILITIES.

Discovery Announced by Eminent
Glasgow Surgeon Indicates That
Useless Limb May Again Be Made
Sound-Brain Cell Can Perform Two
Separate Functions.
The London Times reports the result
| of important nerve grating expert
ments recently carried out by Profess
or Robert Kennedy, the well known
! surgeon Of Glasgow, proving that a
brain cell may be taught to perform
! two separate functions.
! Each nerve communicates with par
ticular set of brain cells which control
! its activities. 1t was supposed that
| these cells were of highly specialized
/ character and able to perform only the
function allotted to them by nature.
Experimental on a Dog.
! DR.. Kennedy made experiments on
the foreles of a dog. He severed all the
nerves connecting with the muscles be
low the joint and then connected all
these muscles to the group of nerves
SChLiOlilii5 LCAtOll VI DClItAllIS-
The dog was for some time unable to
4 direct or coordinate its movements.
Gradually. however, at about the nine
ty-third day, this power returned and
was completely regained by the one
hundred and twenty-third day.
An experiment with all the muscles
connected to the eXtensor or straight
ening out nerves was then tried. Here
recovery of action began ut the fifty
ninth and was complete by the seven
ty-ninth day.
Old Theory Shattered.
According to the older conception of
nerve activity and control, the dog in
the first experiment should have been
able to bend but never again to
straighten out his fureleg; in the sec
ond to straishten out. but never again
to bend it. That. on the contrary, full
movement was soon regained, upset
this theory completely ana proved that
the brain was capable, il it had the op-
portunity, of adapting itself within .
short period to almost any change of
nerve distribution.
The possible applications of the dis
coNery are very wide. For example,
the nerves of withered or useless
limb. the function of which has been
lost because of some injury TO or des
ease of the braln-for example, by apo
pleXy-if connected to the nerve trunk
leading to n healthy part of that or
gan, might again receive and convey
, stimuli. In that case the degenerated
; and tlabby muscles would regain pow
> er, and the infrmity would be cured.

TAXES ON PROJECT
WILL Be COLLECTED
(Herald, Hollister)


At q special meeting last Thursday
the board of county commissioners re-
solved to stand pat on their demand
for the collection of taxes levied by
the county against the dam, canals and
bitches making up the irrigation sys-
tenn of the Salmon river tract, which
they contend is the property of the
Salmon River Land & Water company.
The Land & Water company has filed
suit to restrain the county treasurer
from collecting a tax of some s97035s
against the property, assessed at a
value of 100000 for the year 1918.
The action is filed in the federal court
at Boise and will probably not come
up for trial until the first of the year.
The contention of the land and water
company is to the effect that it has
no assessable equity in the irrigation
system; that 1t has sold all of its
lands; that the irrigation system Is OPP
Grated by the Salmon River canal COM
pany, an organization that will be con-
trolled by the settlers as soon as cer-
tain contracted payments for water
rights are made by them. Under the
statute amended by the last session of
the legislature, the company claims
exemption from taxation.
A similar controversy was occa-
stoned in 1912 by the assessment
against the same property, which was
settled by mutual agreement, the COM
pany paying portion of tho taxes as
sesses against it.
The county has retained A. M. Bowen
to act with the county attorney in it's
interests in the case.
