Chickens at $40 Apiece.

The La Fleche fowls of France, says
a writer in the Country Gentleman,
are in demand in very wealthy house
holds and in high-class cafes. Fine
specimens sometimes bring ten dol
lars, and a very general price is five
dollars each. Probably no other coun-
try has market for chickens at such
prices; the French gourmet must have
what he wants regardless OF cost.

Diversified Agriculture.

The value Of Hungary's agricultural
returns does not depend upon sew

of certain specified branches of agri-
culture, but rather on the great diver
sity of its products, for there is prob
ably no country in Europe in which
so many branches Of agriculture are
carried on.

BEWARE DIPTHERIA
Board of Health Anxious that
Antitoxin Be Available for
First Appearance of
Disease.

Richmond, Va, Aug 2l.-
Basing its warning on records
which show that dipthcria
makes it's appearance annually
in Virginia during August, the
State Board of Health today
announced the continuance OF
previous plans for the distribu-
ton at wholesale cost prices of
high grade diptheria antitoxin.
AS in the past, the Board has u
contract with n wcll-known
manufacturer, by which the
Board keeps in stock an abund-
ant supply of antitoxin, which
can be had at any hour of the
day or night by those who
write, telephone or telegraph
for it. Bill will be rendered by
the manufacturer.
In view of the extreme i'm
portance of having antitoxin at
hand when u case of diptheria
appears, the Board is urging
county boards of health and
druggists to purchase nntitoXin
and have it where parents who
need it for their children can
get il without delay. Exper-
fence has shown that most of
the deaths from diptheria are
due either TO the neglect Of
antitoxin or to failure to ad-
minister il during the early
stages of the diseases. A few
hours delay tremendously in
creases the danger of death;
prompt use will almost in
varinbly prevent serious consc-
quences.
The cost of nnlitoxin bought
through the Board of Health,
ia, as heretofore, less than one.
third The normal retail price.
Many druggists, however,
are conforming to the scale of
prices set by the Board and are
aiding in the general distribu-
ton of the remedy.

NORTHWESTERN TRAIN CARRIES
HUGE SUM OF GOLD AND
SILVER COIN EAST.
CARRIED IN THREE CARS
GUARDED BY THIRTY MEN
Train Stopped Hero For Short Time
Saturday Nieht-Shipmen Made in
Secret, and No Announcement Given
/, Of II Until Money Was Delivered in
New York and Boston.

For few minutes late Saturday
night there was more money in this
city probably than at any time in it's
history. During that short period there
was $25,OO0,O0O of new money that had
never been spent. But no one knew it
was here. 1t was brought anannounced
and was taken away secretly. 1t was a
shipment of that huge sum from the
Denver mint, and was consigned to the
government in New York and Boston.
The money was taken thru the city
over the Northwestern by The Ameri-
can Express Company. but no an
nouncement of the shipment was made
public until after the money had been
delivered at it's destinations. Then an
nouncement of the safe arrival was
made in Chicago Monday.
This fabulous wealth was all in gold
and silver coin. 1t was carried in
three steel express cars, which were a
part of one of the fast thru trains, and
in each of the express cars there We're
ten armed guards. 1t is probably the
largest transcontinental Shipment ever
made. The shipment was planned with
the greatest secrecy, and only very
few of the express and railroad Off
GERS knew when the shipment was to
be made. The shipment was loaded in
Denver Friday.

Have You the Hair of
q Musician?

Bald or thin-haired musicians are
unknown. This same may be said OF
actors. The reason is that constant
appearance before the public makes
constant care of appearance habit.
And constant care Of hair insures a
heavy, attractive growth. In cleansing
the hair it is not advisable to use a
makeshift but always use O. prepara-
ton made for shampooing only. You
can enjoy the best that is known for
about three cents shampoo by get
ting a package Of canthrox from your
druggist; dissolve teaspoonful in a
cup of hot water and your shampoo is
ready. After its use the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. Dandruff.
excess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will be
80 fluffy that it will look much heavier
than 1t Is. It's lustre and softness will
also delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which insures
hair growth,
