A SONG FOR THE MILLIoNs

When we joined the syndicate of news papers engaged ip the distribution of Heart Songs we had no idea of the immense popular demaAd for a song book. The work seems 60 have been fair ly craved by the people all over this country. Several hunA<ed thousand have already been distributed, and we are in- formed that the numerous editions will run into the millions before the demand is satified. With million throats sing ing from Heart Songs every night-the nation is certainly experiencing a genuine song revival. And it can hardly help but improve the taste of the masses in mat ters musical. For this relief from rag time" much thanks. Our coupon pub lished daily in this paper, will run in just d few days more as our supply is nearly exhausted.

 effect was opposed by Edmund J. Glenny or New Orleans, and others. MT. Glenny read the resolution adopted at the Ma tional Assembly of Cotton Exchanges in Washington, last October favoring the international standard for cotton. He declared that the adoption of MT. Barrett's resolution would be a reces-
 sion from the action of Washington as-
 sembly and would perplex the govern
 ment authorities. After other objections to the Barrett resolution had been voiced the McCabe resolutions were adopted as substitutes.
 The international stand and for cotton was fixed at the international conference In Liverpool last year. Its provisions are not effective until September 1, 1914 While this standard has been adopted by several of the foreign exchanges. 1t has not been adopted by the United States Resolution Proposed
 Interest of the southern members of the executive committee was centered for
 sometime in the question of arbitration on domestic deliveries The following resolution proposed by Frank Barrett of Augusta was adopted by the committee: We recommend that the exchanges comprising this convention urge their
 members to incorporate in rules and tce euiatiODc governing QOWeSI1c Qel1N- cries that arbitration on grade should take place on upland cotton either in savannah or Augusta. and on western cotton at either New Orleans, Memphis or Dallas The point of arbitration to be designated by the buyer"
 Practically all of the members of the executive committee agreed that the present cotton year, from September l to September 1, should be charged While 1t was admitted that to change the statistical year might cause tenn porary confusion, R. K. Cairne of the New York exchange and E. J. Glenny of the New Orleans exchange expressed the opinion that 1t was almost neces- sity. They stated that the September date was agreed upon before cotton was grown extensively in the far 1 south. At present the movement of cot ton In the far southern section begins in August, but according to the present statistical year it is listed with the old crop instead of the new.
 Resolution Adopted
 The following resolution in this con- nection was adopted:
 We recommend, that statistics of the cotton crop, receipts. etc, be figured from August 1 to August 1, instead of from September 1 to September l." Although not an accredited delegate to the convention, R. L. Moore of Fall River. Mass was invited to appear be-
 fore the executive committee. He read a rsolution adopted by the Fall River Cot ton Buyers association favoring landing weights, or the weighing of cotton at its point of discharge. At the concu-
 sion of his remarks a committee com posed of R. G. Hazelhurst of Macon, Ga. Frank H. Barrett and MT. Moore
 was appointed to draft a suitable reso- luton in behalf of the conference favoring this procedure. The resolu-
 tion, which later was adopted follows: That all cotton be controlled on the

MADAME ISE'BELL Has No Prejudice But Strong Con yictiOns Against Bleaching Hair

Nice hair attractively arranged, will redeem plain face, and this is never so true as when the years are passing. Between 35 and 40 lie the critical years. Watch the hair carefully. Is the hair line retreating, or the hair growing thin about the face? Is the parting be- coming broader? Is the hair changing in color. either growing darker or faded as a preliminary to turning gray? While no natural means of pre- serving and increasing the hair growth should be neglected, this Is the time when artifice may be necessary and can be applied with good results.
 Why Hair Changes in Color
 Color. abundance, texture and gloss determine the beauty of the hair. The color is due to the proportion of the different chemicals in the pigmenta- lion. For instance. blond hair is rich in oxygen and sulphur; brown hair has 8 large proportion of carbon. which in ereases as the hair turns darker. We find that red hair derives it's color from the large amount of iron in the

Causes No Stir

Washington, May 4-The constitution alst threat to break the oil reservoirs above Tampico and destroy the town If warships entered the Panuco river caused no stir tonight at the navy department. Officials said the United States had no intention of sending it's vessels into the river at this time, but if it ever became necessary to make any movement against Tampico, the prospect of meeting flood of blazing oil as we'll as mines would be taken into consideration.
 At the British embassy it was said that no alarm was felt on account of the un- armed British government that are to be sent into Tampico with British and American employees of the oil plants. Ar arrangements for reopening the oil plants were made after both federal and consti- tutionalist commanders had given assur- ances that they would be In no danger of attack.

coloring pigment. As the coloring mat Ter in the hair follicles lessens the hair becomes faded and finally gray As time goes on the change to white hair is aided by a deposit of phosphate of lime in the hair roots.
 Hair that has been bright in youth, blond, red or warm chestnut, is apt to darken after 30. When this occurs many women feel a strong temptation to bleach or touch up" the hair. The argument Is that to do such is merely to restore the hair to its natural color and should not be regarded as bleach Ing or dyeing.
 While l have no perjudice against bleaching or tinting the hair I have a strong conviction that in most cases the operation Is not success. I am speaking now of blond hair that has turned dark. l am going to give you my reasons and hope that they will aid any women debating this problem to decide rightly.

Commanders at Tampic0 Notify Mayo Not to Enter Panuco River-Believe
 HarbOr Mined

| Vera Cruz May 1.-The constitutional fists at Tampico have notified Rear Ad- miral Mayo, commander of the American warshps stationed there. that if any of his vessels attempted to enter the Panuco river the oil reservoirs above the city would be emptied and the oil fired, which would mean certain destruction of the city.
 | This situation was reported by the com mander of the United States torpedo boat destroyer Jenkins, which arrived at Vera Cruz today from Tampico.
 Both federals and rebels are reported to have planted mines in Tampico harbor
 It is generally thought here that Ad- miral Mayo will await the capture of the city by the rebels through the slow pro- cess of starving out the federals.
 The commander of the Jenkins said that little firing had been heard in the last three days. The rebels were reported to be bringing up the artillery, which they captured at Monterey, but there were no signs of It's arrival.
 Federals Active
 Reports of federal activities In the in- terior from Vera Cruz were received here today Gen. Gustavo Maas, the Mexican commander, was said to have blown up the San Francisco bridge on the narrow gauge railroad. which was the line used by General Scott in his ad- vance on Mexico City in 1s47.
 This report, however. was not con- firmed at the army headquarters of Brig adler General Funston though it was known there that the federals had mined the structures along the road
 It also was reported that another sec tion of tracks had been torn up.
 The American consuls at Frontera, Progreso, Puerto Mexico and Carmen have been ordered to turn over their in terests to the French consuls. Twelve Americans are said to remain at Jalapa and about the same number between that town and the isthmus of Tehauntepec.
 A number of British subjects left Vera Cruz for the federal capital today. hav- ing been reassured by the news brought here by the refugees.
 The prices of articles of food are begin ming to rise in consequence of the small amount being brought into the city from the country districts.
