New York, Aug. 1.-THE govern
ment of the United States, in conjunc-
ton with municipal, county and state
health officials IN practically every
commonwealth in the country, is
planning the most colossal health sur
vey ever undertaken.
The purpose of the movement,
which is comparable in magnitude to
a national census, is to throttle the
epidemic of infantile paralysis and to
prevent other epidemics.

slider the disease as national men

cause of the increasing spread OF the

did you ever notice how easy it is
for pioneers to forget precedent? They
seem to care nothing about it. The
Santa Fe is one of the pioneers of
pioneer roads of the west, and having
a large mileage in Kansas. it takes on
the Kansas spirit of doing something
new all the time. You know the Kan
sas way. President Ripley announced
n few days ago that the road would
inaugurate a system of giving life in
surance to employees who have been in
service for a certain length of time
Writing IN the Railway Journal. f.
r Jester says all that and more about
the Santa F'e's new system of life in
srrance for employees. He continues:
This was an Innovation that Gre
ated a surprise to the railroad world.
President Ripley says the road will try
1t two years anyway and see how 1t
works. 1t is my guess 1t will not be
abandoned at the expiration of two
years. Personally, am glad to see the
road so liberal with its employees
promotes the personal welfare of en-
ployes; this is one feature along thai
line.
II have always been advocating a
policy of railroads paying the expenses
of their foremen and other mechani-
cal officials to their respective annual
conventions. These educative meet
ings are good for both the employees
and the railroad Company. Aside
from the salary a foreman gets and
pass now and then, he is also en-
titled to such personal favors from
his company as mentioned above. His
good will toward his company is worth
all these favors anyway, to say moth
ing about the new ideas he contrib
utes to the betterment of the service

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy. wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust. dirt and dan

1t is a wonder that Under Two
Flags" has never been filmed before.
1t has all the necessary qualities for
success-more of them than almost
any other story of the kind we can
remember. And it has a history and
a certain asSociational value for al
most every one. for when staged it
was play which every one felt it his
duty to see. 1t is bound to be an ex-
traordinary success.
The staging is done on a large
scale. The sandstone, the Arabian
troops, the barracks, the fights, the
pursuits and all of the spectacular
scenes have been produced with a
great scenic outlay. The desert scenes
are realistic.
The role of Cigarette is an ideal one
for Theda Bara. She is much better
fitted for this sort of thing than for
the vampire roles with which she
has identified herself. She makes the
role appealing and sincere, and acts it
with the necessary dash and abandon.

WHY THE ROAD WENT BROKE.
Operating Receiver Explains Bank.
ruptcy of Pere Marquette


THE Pere Marquette railroad is,
believe. after two years study of the
situation, not in bankruptcy for the
reasons commonly accepted by those
who have not given serious thought to
the matter, but for the plain and SIM
pie reason that it has not been able
to earn enough during its existence to
pay its way because of light traffic
density and low rates.
That is the explanation Of Paul H.
King, operating receiver, for the
financial troubles of the Pere Mar
quette which are practically the
same as those of many American rail-
roads including a number of western
ones.
territory which is well settled, and in
those portions of the state the density
of the traffic is fairly heavy, nalf of
its mileage is in branch and side
lines" Mr.. King said, land the most
of these run thru sections which are
but sparsely settled. One-half of our
mileage brings in three-f ourths of the
only brings in one-fourth.
THE freight rates in the section in
which Michigan is located, are the
lowest of any in the United States. the
average being but six mills a ton mile
In other words, the Pere Marquette

supplies, wages and in fact everything
the road uses jumped in price. The

APPEAL TO LANSING
American Owners of Mexican Mines
Want Increase in Taxes Held Up.

Washington. Aug. 11.-William
Loeb, jr., and S. C. Neale, of New
York. representing a committee of
foreign owners of mines and smelters
in Mexico, have appealed to the state
department to use it's influence in in
ducing the Mexican government to
postpone the imposition of onerous
taxes beyond September 1.
Mr.. Loeb said: THE taxes are very
heavy and the concerns. by reason of
unsettled conditions, are not produc-
tive. There already has been a post
ponement until September 1, but the
circumstances warrant a much longer
delay"
The state department took the re-
quest under advisement.

MUST GO BEFORE CONGRESS-.
That Body Must Be Final Tribunal in
Grand Island Toll Case.

The ST. Joseph & Grand Island rail-
way must go before congress to get
permission to reconstruct its bridge
across the Missouri river at ST. Joseph.
When the company attempts to OBJ
tain permission from congress people
from northeastern Kansas will get an
opportunity to reduce or do away with
the alleged excessive tolls charged pas
sengers crossing the bridge.
That congress. not the war DEPART
ment, is the final tribunal in the toll
case, became known following CORE
spondence between Congressman An
thony and the war department. The
war department holds that the appli-
cation of the company to reconstruct
literally means the rebuilding Of the
bridge and that permission to rebuild
comes under the province of congress.
Attorney General Brewster, the pub
lie utilities commission and Congress-
man Anthony all have demanded that
the tolls charged be reduced or cut
out entirely.
