THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, DANDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation of the

beauty of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring,
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura Oint-
ment into the parting with a bit Of
soft flannel held over the end Of the
finger. Anoint additional partings
about half an inch apart until the
whole scalp has been treated, the pur-
pose being to get the Cuticura Oint-
ment on the scalp skin rather than on
the hair. 1t is well to place a light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
and hot water. Shampoos alone may
be used as often as agreeable, but
once or twice a month is generally
sufficient for this special treatment

All true sportsmen who have any

spring shooting of wild fowl should
cease. When the question. however.

the warden system has come into gen
eral vogue, and even this is often sub

the law, and favoritism is in this re
spect a potent factor.

order that the wardens may be sent
into sections other than those of their
immediate residence. Ample funds can
be raised for such purpose by the res

made mandatory upon all who shoot

Shooters generally pay this fee
cheerfully. but il is both discouraging
and unfair to have part of the large
sums thus raised for game protection
turned into the state treasury and di-
verified to public roads or schools.

Not all the laws on the statute books

to absolutely prohibit the sale of

The amount of dried fruit produced

mia produced more than four-fifths Of
the yearly output. According to a
rough estimate each person in this
country consumes on an average Of
five or six pounds of dried fruit q
year.
The value of dried fruit grows from
between four and five million dollars
to over twenty-one million dollars in
ten years. The average wholesale
price, however, has not advanced with
the increased demand; on the con.
trary it has dropped from about five
