Judging by the number &c letters re-
ceiyed from persons with dnndrnif Hnd

v~ulgarly COMMON. Here are some after
thoughts which may be Of value.
How often should one shampoof A.

kind You like. Except the So-raIled

them with any considerable degree Of sue
cess. There is a whole world Of froth
published about the alkalI IN soap. Soap
which isn't alkaline isn't worth Il tinker's
time. If You want to clean your head You
need soap; if You want To oil your hair You
need oil.
What Is a good hair tone! There j. no
such thing, much as We wish there were.
II the hair l. coming out, or turning gray,
or in any way wrong the scalp requires
Washing the hair with eau d. tins and that

Brushing. The more the scalp l. ~ lshed
the better for the HAIR. Use a l:nrls stiff
|hristle, but avoid scratching the SCALP. We
ike the brush which has the brlsIIea set
in a pneumatic rubber pad, because it
reaches the roots and underground and
still you can't hurt your scalp, no matter
how enthusiastically YOU brush it.
Don't wet the hair, except TO wash the
scalp.
Don't use n comb more than absolutely
necessary.
Don't let the barber SINCE the hair, ex-
cept when YOU are in "A hurry to lose what
Won have left.
Don't cut a girls hair OF any silly
theory that IT will save her strength or i'm

in the following from the Rushville
News:
The bride and groom presented n
Regal spectacle, never hquaked SINCE
the proud Cleopatra sailed down the
perfumed, lotus bearing Nile in her
gilded pageant To meet March Anthony.
while all the world stood agape at the
unheard of triumph. To describe the
brides costume beggars the English lam
guage: and imagination falls faint and
feeble before the Ilerculean task. She
was gorgeously arrayed in Calico house
dress, and a pair of lace curtains flated
like a dream about her figure."-Austin

Hardy and Davis

There seems To be a general impress
sion that Judge Hardy will have strong
opposition in his race for congress next
year IN the person of Hon. W. {. Davis
Of Bryan. We had expected to heal
Judge Hardy on the cotton question, but
he failed q take mp this issue. Judge
Davis suppressed himself strongly on
The English order in council, stating
that he believed this country should
give Great Britain plainly TO under
stand that the United States would no
donser tolerate Interference with her
cotton trade q neutral countries. As
the Times sees il these will be the lead
ing points in the next congressional
campaign. and on account of the abil.
NY and standing of the candidates il
promises To e,lipse anything in this
district for many years. Judge Hardy
has been elected To congress five times
having no opposition since his first elec-
tion. Ii remains to be seen whether he
j. capable of successfully defending his
seat now.-Teague Times.

U. S. MAKING RADIUM
At $4,000 per GRAIN
Secretary Lane Says Bureau of Mines
Is Producing Article at Greatly
Decreased Cost:

Secretary of the Interior Lane an
nounced yesterday that the production OF
radium from Colorado carnotite ores by
the Bureau of Mines, in connection with
the National Radium Institute, has passed
the experimental stage in its new process
and 10 now on a successful manufactur-
ing basis He also declared that the
statments made to Congress concerning
the ability of the Bureau of Mines to
produce radium at a greatly decreased
cost over other processes actually had
been accomplished and that the cost was
even less than predicted Secretary Lane
said:
The cost of one gram of radium metal
produced in the form of bromide during
March, April and May of the present
year was $1,000, / am informed by DR..
Charles L. Parsons, in charge of the
radium investiga tons of the bureau This
includes the cost of ore, insurance, re-
pairs, amortization allowance for plant
and equipment, cost of Bureau Of Mines
cooperation. and all expenses incident to
the production of hiEh-grade radium
bromide. When you consider that ra-
dunn has been selling for $4,000 and
$4,000 a gram, you will see just what
the bureau of Mines has accomplished
along these lines.
The cost of producing radium in the
small experimental plant during the first
few months of the bureaus activities was
somewhat higher. but not enough seri-
ously to effect the final average.
The public. however. should not infer
that this low cost of production neces-
sarily means an immediate drop in the
selling price Of radium."

sessed a distorted and wholly fall
lacious conception of loyalty. Mr.,
Cochran asserts that come what may.
Becker Is ready. And 1t IL known
while Becker has never realized how
sweet life is until the shadow of the
chair has darkened him, he Is quite
calm and totally resigned.
Prepares Last Statement.
Moreover he is preparing a state
ment which he will leave for public
consumption after he il dead.
Its writing will. II Justice Ford de-
cides against him. be his final act. That
he will do this Is virtually assured.
Just what the statement will contain
is not known except by Becker and
Mrs. Becker. Names never before
linked with Becker's in print. may be
be mentioned. And again 1t may be
another protestation Of innocence.
Justice Ford worked almost all Of last
night. He was In his chambers at 10
O'Clock this morning. At noon he was
leaning over his desk. collarless. coatiess.
his hair rumpled and a cataract Of per-
spiration pouring down hts face. On one
side was a heap of affidavits and briefs.
On the other and scattered around the
broad desk were Twenty-Five bulky law
volumes from each OF whlch numerous
slips of paper protruded.
1t is known that he was considering
only his legal rights and had thrust
aside all idea of a usurpation of the
governors powers of granting clemency.
or all the affidavits submitted by Mr..
Cochran, that of Hartford T. Marshall.
Is considered most important by the JUS
tice. Marshall. once Webber's lawyer, al

Becker had not part in the plot to kill

"Nev- Evidence Defined.
But the code says that new evidence"
must not be contradictory in character.
that it must not be cumulative and that
is must not be composed of faces known
by the defendant at the time Of the trial.
The problem in Marshalrs aff1davits Is
the alleged element of pure contradiction
Justice Ford Is not satisfied that he has
all the inherent power ascribed to him
by Mr.. Cochran. He is inclined to the
opinion that his powers are defined I'M
compromisingly by statute. He refuses
to consider whether Gov. Whitman has
reviewed Becker's case from an unbiased
standpoint or not. He takes the stand
that there is no evidence that the gov
ernor is not willing and anxious to give
Becker a square deal
Further complications arose as the case
was discussed. 1t is argued that Justice
Ford will not unduly hurry because the
date of execution is set for Friday. If
he cannot decide by Thursday night he
will ask that Becker's execution be again
If. on the other hand, he de-
cides fatty that Becker should have a
new trial, it Is argued that such a de-
cision can be appealed from. and that.
inasmuch as neither the Court Of Appeals
nor the Appellate Division Is sitting.
Becker could not enjoy a third trial until
this question could be decided.
