From the Chicago Record-Herald.
An E~nglIshman wished to reach a Gus
toner living in a remote part Of BALKAN.
one Of the suburbs of Lonuon, and 1t was
very urgent that he find him quickly.
Knowing nothing OF the locality, he called
at ST. Martin le Grand to consult q direc-
tory. Stating his case to a clerk, he was
amazed to learn that he could be sent to
the address by parcel post" by paying q
fee Of 3 pence q mile. The gentleman had
never heard OF such q thing, n II Is said
that very few in England know that it can
be done Accepting the offer, the gentle
man was placed In charge Of a messen:
ger familiar with all parts OF the city and
was soon on his way. The boy carried a
printed slip on which was written a de-
scription Of the parcel" in charge, under
the heading, ARTICLE required to be de-
livered,", and before leaving the Gus
toners house both the customer and the
gentleman were required to place their
signatures on the paper. The limit In
weight for anything delivered by parcel
post in England las in thi1 country is
generally understood to be II pounds, but
there Is one clause which reads, "A per-
son may be conducted by express messen-
ger to any address on paymen or mile
age fee"

The rule applies not only to sellers,
but to buyers. A fur-dealing concern
in Cincinnati through a corps Of CORES
pondents amasses q FUND OF informa-

fur bearing animals throughout its
contributing territory. An eastern
Kentucky correspondent furnishes the
information that in 3 certain neighbor-
hood trappers are resorting to arsenic
poisoning to increase the catch. Quail

arc especially cautious with regard to
skins from that section. The furriers
also know that a very mild fall in
Michigan has lessened the value OF
pelts from that region. so that prices
offered may be rated accordingly.

THE BEST TREATMENT FOR

AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and Irritation Of the
scalp. prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dam

beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment is most effective, agree

comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make q
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 q light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next

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

WORK OF THE WIRELESS.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.


The international conference for
safety Of life at sea has recently agreed
to the enforcement of the equipment
with wireless of all vessels carrying 90
or more persons, and while this is q
long step in the right direction 1t does
not 60 far enough.
A oablegram from London states
that all vessels plying within 1000
miles of land are permitted exemption
from equipment with wireless, but 1t
scarcely seems possible that this in
formation is correct, az such exemp-
ton would I'VE coatwise vessels the
world over, and in great easur de-
tract from h safety Of vessels beyond
that limit. 81
power in a number Of instances along
our coasts, notably in the case of the
WLrd Line steamship Merida, which
sunk in collision less than 200 miles off
the Virginia capes in 1911, and In Its
distress the working Of the wireless
brought a number Of vessels so equip
ped t. its immediate assistance.
The cablegram which records such
exemption certainly must be an er-
ror, as the safety of the passengers
and crews upon coastwise vessels is
potently guarded now by the many
vessels in such trade that are already
equipped, and the international on-
ference is too well informed as to the
usefulness Of this equipment to N
ton the exception reported.
1t Is estimated that the wireless calls
for assistance to vessels have resulted
in the saving of the lives OF more than
5000 persons ince the system was put
into practical work, and yet William
Marconi, in q recent interview, esti-
mated that Of the 10000 British vessels
of more than 100 tom fewer than 700
- - 49, -wlaIa..H IA
Germany's vessels about IL per cent
have the wireless, and Of those of
France about 8 per cent are so equipped.
1t can thus be seen hat If all ves-
sells of more than 100 tons were re-
quired to be equipped with wireless
q most efficient watch and ward of the
oceans could be maintained by the
nations and disasters upon the lakes,
seas and oceans could be reduced to q
minimum.
Arrangements have recently been
made between the Marconi company Of
Great Britain and the owners OF the
fishing fleet at Lowestoft, England, by
which n or more vessels Of the fleet
shall be equipped with wireless, and
through it's work the various vessels OF
the fleet can be advised as to the ports
at which their cargoes Of fish will be in
greatest demand and bring the best
prices, thus avoiding any chance Of
overlooking markets at any port.
The fishing vessels around every
coast could be rendered of great as
sistance to the larger vessels through
the wireless relays Of direct COM
municatton.
Those of Newfoundland, Labrador, the
New England and the. New Jersey
coasts, the coasts Of Great Britain.
France and Holland, will not only find
such equipment a great factor Of
safety to themselves and to the larger
vessels of the merchant marine that
pass near by, but advantageous
through commercial information as to
markets for their catches.
