WAR AGAINST DUST
DECLARED NECESSARY

New York, March 6.-War against
dust is urged in an article in the April
issue of the Medical Council which
puts forward the theory that new dis
eases attacking man in pandemics, like
grip, are due to the so-called cosmic
dust.
This cosmic dust is commonly sup
posed to come from the stars but the
suggestion is made that it is nothing
but common terrestrial dust carried
high by the heat of the tropics or BY
volcanoes and whirlwinds. The thous-
ands of tons of such dust fall yearly
on the earth and it is highly charged
with living organisms.
eve are coming more and more to
realize says the article, "the role of
dust in the GEOLOGY and transmission
of disease; but we have studied the
problem in its local phase not in its
comosgraphical relations.
This latter study impresses us as
important and we advance the theory
that organism in charged dust carried
thousands of miles from its original
terrestrial source may readily cause
epidemic of diseases.
Sanitation must declare war against
the kingdom of dust"

DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and Sulphur
Recipe and Nobody VIII Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to its natural
color dates back to grandmother's time.
She used it to keep her hair beautifully
dark, glossy and abundant. Whenevec
her hair fell out or took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this sim
pie mixture was applied with wonder
full effect.
But brewing at home is mussy ana
ot-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 5O-cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Rem
edy," you will get this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair, and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
feverish. itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark, glossy, soft and
abundant. Hooks Pharmacy, Ameri

COLLEGE PRESIDENT
Defends COLLEGE
FRATERHITIFS TODAY

New Haven, Conn, March Ga col
lege president spoke in defense of col
Ilege fraternities here today. President
William Dewitt Hyde, of Bowdoin col
lege, addressing the convention of the
Religious Education association said
The remedy for the evils of ire
sponsible fraternities is more fraterni-
ties and more responsibility. Have
enough fraternities or clubs like them
to include practically the entire stu
dent body; publish their relative rank
and stimulate a wholesome rivalry in
scholarship, in character, in contribu-
ton to the social. artistic, athletic, dra-
matte and literary life of the institu-
ton; admit freshment early for better
|or worse, and hold upper classmen to
account for their influence over them;
weed out upper classmen who fail to
realize this responsibility for lower
classmen in their group, and thus fra
ternities become a mighty influence for
the intellectual social and moral up
lift of their members, far more potent
than any force presidents and deans
and faculties can bring to bear
Living happily with and working
heartily for others as loyal members of
beloved group is the essence of right
eousness, whether in chapter house or
city hall; whether in the home or the
kingdom of Heaven"

LOVE POWDER FAILS
TO WIN BACK ELIJAH
INSTEAD OF FALLING INTO HER
ARMS, HUBBY GOES OUT FOR
THE NIGHT

Biloxi, Miss, March 6.-Corinthia
White, black, was one of the indignant
witnesses against Elijah Jones, negro
voodoo doctor, in police court this
morning. She said that the national
pure food and drug law ought to be ex-
tended to cover the alleged luck powd-
ers sold by the voodoo practitioners.
Corinthia told the court that her
husbands love had begun to flicker
and wane, and she went to the voodoo
physician about it. He told her that
was an easy one. She said he gave
her some white powder.
Sprinkle dis on yer man." said Doc
Jones, "ani his love TO- you will re-
turn on de wings O. de wind. Dis is
love powder, an l knows its strong
cause | made it myself"
Corinthia went home with happi-
ness in her heart and the powder in
her hand. Her happiness lasted until
she sprinkled the powder on her hus-
band. According to directions, she
powdered him just before dinner. Some
Of the love dust got in his eye and
made him SO mad that he got right up
from the table and stayed away all
night.
Now" finished Corinthia, che loves
me less N he ever did-and' all count
O this lying niger"
Another witness testified that she
bought some powder from Jones,
which was guaranteed to recover a set
Of false teeth which she had lost. The
teeth were still at large. The doc
ter" got $40 and costs from Judge
Champlin.

SAVED LIFE BY
EATING PLASTER

Atlanta, March 6.-By making her
eat plaster from the wall, the life of
Mrs. Albert Smith was saved yester-
DIAL, after she had swallowed a deadly
poison by mistake. In the dark she
drank from bottle of potassium chlor
ide, thinking it was a harmless tonic,
and was soon in terrible agony. The
regular prescribed antidotes failed to
give any relief, and she was apparent
ly dying when a neighborhood physic-
ian hastily knocked some plastering
from the wall and after powdering it
forced some of it down her throat It
was the I've in the plaster, it is said,
which reacted on the chloride.
