MANN Law INFAMIES.

| Again the Mann law takes prominent place
| in the news as an instrument of blackmail Its
stupid and vicious provisions have once more
been made the handspring of a conspiracy by
which it appears one million dollars has been
/ extorted from wealthy men and women VINO
have fallen victims to the wiles of cumming adj
venturesses and their blackleg male attend
ants and have sinned in crossing the boundary
/ of state in their company.
! The Mann law is at best dangerous and
unnecessary invasion of the rights and duties
of the states to suppress vice and punish crime.
The results attained through legitimate appli-
cation of it are practically negligible. 1t mas
not suppressed or even reduced s'whlte slav-
ery,' the condition at which it was aimed; It
has been made the ground for one or two out
rageous prosecutions which have simply sign
posted the way for the blackmailers.
It's main effect has been to arm bad women
and the class of men who live on them with
new and powerful means of making their foul
trade profitable through preying on the weak
and foolish. That millions of dollars have been
added to the gains of 'swhite slavery by
its means is known to every man IN the country
who cares to open his eyes to the truth. All
the evils of the law were forecast before its
enactment They were antecedent certainties;
but in fit of mingled hysteria and cowardice
congress inflicted it on the country.
AS it stands, viewed in the light of the Chi
cago upturn and happenings elsewhere, it Is a
scandal and an outrage on justice, decency and
common sense 1t is a provocative to crime
and will certainly continue to be such so long
as it remains unrepealed or unamended.

Hair Often Ruined
By Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully, il
you want to keep your hair looking its
best. Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much a1ka1i. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsifed cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
noisten the hair with water and rub it
IN. 1t makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lathcr, which rinses out easily;
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruf and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get rnulsifed cocoanut oil AZ
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and few
ounces viii supply every member of the
family for months

A SEPTEMBER SUNSET.

Natures charms Wondrous rare
These September days.
Bushes bold yet soft and fair,
Set her cheeks ablaze.
All along the country lane,
Woodland stream and field,
Autumn sings a glad refrain
For the joys revealed
Far-the distant dull gray hill
Afingles with the blue.
There the tiny ripping rill
Threads its wandering through.
Near-the wealths of golden yield
View the setting sun,
Tolers in the harvest field
Rest, the day is done.
Oak leaves tumble, trees half nude,
Sumac beckons, bold
Fields of daisies saffron hued;
Pink and marigold;
Towering naples brush the sky
Ger cottage, quaint.
Pictures which the artists try,
Vainly try to paint.
Yonder is the wooded ridge
There, the old stone mill,
Here. the moss-grown, rustic bridge
Where the brook seems still.
Twilight shadows softly fall
Light of day grows dim
For the wonder of it all,
Thanks, more thanks to Him.
