To Auoid Dondruf

You do not want slow treatment
when hair is falling and the dandruf
germ is killing the hair roots. Delay
means-no hair.
Get, at any drug store. bottle of
zemo for 25c or S1.00 for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff germ,
nourishes the hair roots and Immediately
stops itching scalp. 1t is sure and safe,
is not greasy, is easy to use and will not
stain. Soaps and shampoos are harm
full, as they contain alkali. The best
thing to use is zemo, for it is pure and
also inexpensive.

HONOR GIVEN TO G0LDFIELD
According to United States theological
Survey II Is Richer Than Its
Rival, Tonopah.

The rivalry between Tonopah and
Goldfield mining camps seems to have
been definitely settled by the United
States geological survey. Figures CIV
en- out recently indicate that Gold
field leads with a production of $685.
100000 worth of gold and silver, while
Tonopah has little more than $780,
100000 to its credit. The state of
Nevada, however, can take credit for
sI25,000,000 worth of gold and silver
from the two camps since 1900.
The Goldfield territory was opened
two years later than the Tonopah dis
trict. Considerable copper is even
yet being taken from THE concentrates
Of the Goldfield mills, while the Tono-
pah fields are practically abandoned.
The federal survey on the two fields
reveals that while the deposits in each
were found in what is technically
known at tertiary volcanic rocks, in
form and character they were radical
ly different, thus disposing once and
for all Of the old tradition that the
veins were the same, dipping far down
into the bowels of the earth between
the two camps.

aJuJcl."


There has been nothing more pic
turesque in The reports OF African war
fare than sentence in the belated
account OF the British defense Of Tu-
KUN, which is just inside the border
of northern Nigeria: ''The German of
ficers had repeatedly attempted to
take Tukum. but their native troops
refused again to face the juju at that
place" A worker among native races
sends me this word of explanation.
1T is no wonder" he says. that the
Germans could not get their natives
to advance, as there is nothing they
are more terrified at than a juju,
which in this instance means that
some powerful ch doctor had laid
a spell on the place, drawing line
round 1t which must not be crossed.
This line would be marked by pieces
of tusk or hair or tsomething of that
kind. The natives would be far more
afraid Of facing the juju than they
would be Of death, because to do so
would raise up against them the spir-
its of their ancestors. ."-Manchester

HARD CASH FROM JUNK PILE
Great Manufacturing Concern Turns
Its Waste Material Into Various
Valuable Commodities.

II the pork packers use all of the
i pig but the squeal. the great manu-
featuring industries are not far behind
in utilizing every ounce of matter
that comes into their hands. The
works at Hawthorne, ILL.,, of the West
ern Electric company, for instance,
dispose of junk or waste material
every month as follows: Brass, 100
tons; copper, 180 tons German silver,
171z tons; iron and steel, SO tons;
solder skimmings, tons; lead, 833
tons; paper, Z tons.
Scraps of different metal are kept
separate and are baled by hydraulic
presses Chips aud sweepings are
passed through separators and mag
netic separators. These are melted
down or sold to refiners. Scraps of
celluloid are turned into enamel for
insulating iron wire cores. Sawdust
and chips of wood are sifted according
TO size. The former finds it's way to
The plating and drying rooms, the lat
ter to the furnaces, where it produces
team equivalent to the product of
o,2O0 tons of coal a year and wood
ash that is sold for an average of
s6,140 a year.
Waste paper and cotton waste is
made into scratch pads or used in the
packing department. Lead from
junked cable is melted OFF, refined and
used again or sold as pig lead. Cop
per wire is baled under pressure for
future use. Rubber is ground and
used in the manufacture of cast rub
Der parts.
AS the company buys raw material
amounting to the average of s1,500.-
900 a month, the reclaiming of junk is
a most important item of expense
saving. And this is true of every
large factory. y
