Hair Made Beautiful

Beautiful hair, thick, fluffy, lustrous
and absolutely free from dandruff is
not so much a gift of nature as a
matter of care and proper nourish-
ment. Hair is like a plant-it will
not grow healthy and beautiful unless
it has attention and proper nutri-
ment.
Partisan Sage, daintily perfumed
and easily applied, tones up and
lnvigorates the roots of the hair. and
furnishes the necessary nourishment
to not only save and beautify the
hair, but also stimulate it to grow
long, heavy, soft, fluffy and radiant
with life.
When used frequently and rubbed
into the scalp, it will simply work
wonders. Just one application stops
itching head, removes dandruff and
cleanses the hair OF all dust and ex-
cessive oil.
Since Partisan Sage which can be
obtained from F. D. Pierce or at any
drug store, never disappoints, it il
no longer necessary for any woman
to be Inundated because of thin,
streaky, faded. lifeless or unattrac-
tive hair.

TRICK LURES SOLDIERS ON.

Boer Subterfuge Helps the British In
Clash With the Germans.
Wounded men in the hospitals Of
Boulogne relate these incidents Of fight
ing between the British and Germans
One of the men told of trick which
the British learned in the Boer war:
'The enemy before sending their in
fantry against our positions opened a
hot artillery fire. Our artillery replied
at first warmly, and then gun after
gun of the British batteries went ST.
lent.
"What's up nowY I asked COM
rade. There were q few minutes more
of artillery firing from the Germans,
and then their infantry came on In
solid formation. We received them
with rifle fire. Still they came on, and
still we moved them down. They were
getting closer. and we could plainly
see the dense masses moving. Then
suddenly the whole Of our artillery
opened fire.
"You see, the cannon had not been
silenced at all, and it was a trick to
draw the Germans on. They went
down in whole fields, for our guns got
them in open ground, and, Of course,
they soon had enough. It was impossi-
BILE for those behind to come on past
the dead.''

New Use Discovered For the Oxy-
hydrogen Gas Flame.

New Use Discovered For the oxy.
hydrogen Gas Flame.
Various combinations of gases Civ
ing concentrated high temperatures
oxyhydrogen. oxyacetylene. etc.-are
now quite widely used in wrecking
metal structures. These flames eat
through steel girder or ships plat
ing almost as though it were butter.
Not only is much time saved by their
use. but structures that were not worth
saving because of the cost of cold
methods of disarticulation can now be
sold to the junkman with profit.
A new method of applying the oxy-
hydrogen torch to such use was recent
~ tried in Kiel harbor. The torch was
arranged to work under water-as, for
example. in dismantling a sunken ship.
1t had bell shaped head and operated
in a supply Of compressed air. At a
depth below the surface of something
over sixty feet cut nearly twelve
inches in length was burned through
an iron plate of three-quarter inch
thickness. The value of such a sub
marine torch in many marine contin-
gencies is obvious.

This week is assembled in st. Paul
the highest body of educators that
this country can produce, the Nation
al Educational Association. Public ed
ucation means more to good&citizen-
ship than any other public institution,
hence decisions made at conventions
of this nature may have far reaching
results. The problem of education
grows more complex as new problems
arise and we find the school extending
it's influence into all circles and ave-
nues of life. Besides the field of gen.
eral education and culture which it
has occupied time out of mind, it
branches out into the commercial and
industrial world until today the pub
lie school is able to contend with
every phase of work; to prepare
every person for life is now it's prime
object. At this convention perhaps
more than at any previous, this idea
holds foremost place-that education
be made practical. '.-.

ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR.

In last weeks issue there appeared
in our columns a notice warning
small boys of destroying birds nests
and incidentally the assertion was
limited at that the fair association has
offered prizes for collections Of birds
eggs. Since that time we have been
informed that the association has not
been guilty of such law violation, that
such prizes have never been awarded
and never will be. 1t was not our in
tention to unduly implicate that or
ganization in any violation of law, we
wished merely to clear off the false
impression which some boys seem to
have. The association has spoken and
we will gladly clear them of the
charge.
In this connection we will announce
the Marshall County Fair which is
held this year, September 14-15-16.
Make this the biggest fair and the
most representative of what Marshall
county can produce.

Recovery of Lost Handwriting.

Faded handwriting is perplexing to
antiquarians and lawyers and it's re-
covery may be of Importance. A recent
method depends on the fact that most
inks, even ancient inks, are acid in
reaction. Nitrated silver chloride paper
is kept in contact with the faded text
twelve hours or more and then ex-
posed to full light. The action of the
acid in the ink on the silver chloride
brings about a reaction which is COM
pleted by sunlight reduction to metal
lie silver which now shows in metallic
luster on dark ground. 1t is impos-
sible to make this image permanent.
but it is legib1e for short time. This
writing may be made more readily
visible by submitting the paper, after
exposure. to the fumes of burning
phosphorus in a closed box.

Dan Lawler's speech at East Grand
Forks the Fourth of July is an inter-
esting document, but more than that
it is a curious one. The entire ad-
dress seems to be a declaration of
principles and to many would place
the defeated nominee for the COVER
norship in the class of unprincipled
politicians. His platform is so wide
ly different from that of other poll
ticians that he must be placed in a
class by himself. He repudiates all
the principles to which other candi-
dates attach themselves; he declares
himself opposed to woman suffrage,
county option, literacy test for immi-
grants, he opposes the celebration OF
the Tooth anniversary of the signing
of the Treaty of Ghent this coming
December, instead he would draw a
more distinct line of prejudice be-
tween the two nations. Had he been
elected to the governors position, his
first official act would have been a
proclamation for the celebration of
next January 9Th, the Tooth anniver-
sary of the battle of New Orleans. It
is a striking address, not so much a
presentation of his belief, as of his
disbelief in principles which at pres
ent are foremost in the public mind.
Mr.. Lawler is talented orator, force
full and direct, but the talent seems to
be misplaced.
