THE BEST TREATMENT FOR
ITCHING SCALPS, Dk.lDRUFF
AND FALLING HAIR

To allay itching and irritation Of the
scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling
hair, remove crusts, scales and dan
druff, and promote the growth and
beauty Of the hair, the following spe-
cial treatment Is most effective, agree
able and economical. On retiring.
comb the hair out straight all around,
then begin at the side and make a
parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ONT
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 light
covering over the hair to protect the
pillow from possible stain. The next
morning, shampoo with Cuticura Soap
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
for women's hair.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold
throughout the world. Sample of each
free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address post

ADVISED Him TO GET BUSY
Laborer Resented Interest Shown by
Statesman as to the Farmers
Prospective Crop.

The earl of Aberdeen, lord lieuten-
ant, whom Mr.. Ben Tillett suggests
hanging, is one Of the mildest-man-
nered and most kindly of men.
He takes a great interest in agricul-
ture, and one evening, while taking
walk in country district, he paused
to watch a laboring man at work In
his little garden.
Leaning over the fence, his lord
ship asked: "Is this good soil?"
Aye" said the laborer dryly.
Several other questions were an
swered in the same laconic way, the
laborer digging busily all the time.
Finally, Lord Aberdeen asked: What
is your next crop to be-"
The laborer paused in his work and
looked at his questioner severely.
See here, my mannie," he re-
marked, 81 dinna suppose you ken
onything ABBOTT crops. Just you get

BANK Assets Treble In II Years.

lain ASSETS IrepIe In ~ tSofo.
In II years the assets in the state
banks of Wisconsin have nearly
trebled and the number of banks has
doubled. The assets of building and
loan associations under the control
OF the banking department have also
increased threefold within the period.
Meantime the state banks have out
stripped the national banks in assets
and since 1900 the banking power in
the state has gained $27S,O26.000.
These conclusions are deduced from
preliminary banking statement for
the period that is being prepared by
A. e. Kuolt, commissioner of banking.
1t shows the financial prosperity or
the state during the last IL years.
Since 1903 the number Of state
banks has increased from state banks
has increased from SAT to $50 and the
total assets have increased from $780,
164,000.11 to $233,699, 232.1S.
The assets of the building and loan
associations have increased from 3d.
S19,768.55 in 1903 to $10,456,499.20 in
1913. and the number of associations
have increased from So in 1903 to IS
