HAIR CAME OUT IN HANDOUTS

Hughson, Cal.-"Last winter my
hair began to fall out and later my
scalp began to itch terribly and my
hair was full of dandruff. There were
pimples broke out on my scalp, espe-
cially around the edge of my hair.
Sometimes l would wake up at night
and lie awake an hour or so with the
itching. My hair came out in hand
guls when l combed it. 1t was dry and
iifeless and the dandruff was SO thick
it could be plainly seen.
Il used several different kinds OF
shampoo and soap but it got worse all
the time for five or six months. When
had lost about half of my hair |
started using Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment. In about six weeks my scalp
stopped itching and in two or three
months my hair began to come in
new. My head is clear of dandruff
now and new hair is coming in all the
time.' (Signed) Mrs. w. r. Candlish,

"You say your automobile didn't
touch this man. and yet he was dead

the prisoner. My machine didn't
touch him"

miles an hour?"

"And you saw this man start to
cross the street"

boxes that create sound that is a

The Horse on Him.

A Scotch farmer of miserly dispo-
sition bought horse at a fair. On
the way home he thought drink of
water would refresh it, so he got a pail
of water, but the animal would not
take it. When he got home he offered
it fed of corn, but to his surprise
it would not touch that, either.
'Weel," he muttered to himself

that for six months Of the year many Of
the inhabitants descend into the sunny
plain of the western Riviera to find en-
ployment. A few more venturesome
spirits deserted the place years ago and
went to Mexico and Central America,
where they established factories, en-
gagged in Industrial pursuits and founded
a colony that prospered under the local
name of THE Barcelonnettes.'

There are memories here Of his ia

their ancient queens and favorites.
Louis Philippe spent much Of his time
here. The iron trellsed walk leading
from the terrace was built by the order

This uprising is confined to central
Albania and has its strength entirely in
the Moslem population. BY many It is
believed to have had its inception in the
activities of Essad Pasha, who had hoped
by this means to reach the throne OF
his native land; but so far there has
been produced no decisive evidence to
prove that Essad was the real instigator
OF the uprising. There has been dis

insurgents. In the conferences which
