JackaI Flies of India.

There are certain East Indian flies,
several varieties of them apparently Of
similar type to our own house favorite,
Musca domestica, that have developed
a rather ingenious, If somewhat dis
reputable, way of making living.
This is the story told by Captains Pat
ton and Craig in the Indian Journal
of Medical Research. The proboscis
of these flies is soft and not suitable
for piercing the skin Of man or the
lower animals. So they hang around
some one Of the several types of biting
flies, and when the latter pierces the
skin of victim they crowd him away
and use the incision for feeding them
selves. If the bitter happens to be too
large or fierce thus to be driven from
his prey, the fly jackals wait until he
is finished and then take his place. In
view of these observations it seems
quite possible that the so called nom
biting flies may play hitherto unsus-
pected role in the transmission of dis
ease.

FALLING HAIR AND
ITCHING SCALP
NeedIess-Use Partisan Sage.

Now that Partisan Sage can be had
at any drug counter it is certainly
needless to have thin, brittle, matted,
stringy or faded hair. No matter how
unsightly the hair, how badly it is
falling. or how much drandruff, Pari-
sian Sage is all that is needed. Ere
auent applications and well rubbed
into the scalp will do wonders-it acts
like magic. The hair roots are nour-
ished and stimulated to grow new
hair, itching scalp, dandruff and fall
ing hair cease-your head feels fine.
Best of all, the hair becomes soft,
fluffy, abundant and radiant with life
and beauty.
You will be surprised and delighted
with Partisan Sage. Try at least one
fifty-cent bottle from G.. A. Parcher;
he will refund the purchase price If
you are not satisfied.

a young officer to take his company

The young officer had every house
searched. Almost all contained stolen
property. He then marshaled the vii
layers, picked out every fortieth man
and had him shot. After this he said:
81 am taking my troops away, but If
any more train robberies take place we
shall come back and shoot every twen-

return again, every tenth man will be
executed"
