The Issue of smartness.

The main trouble with the Repub-
lican party is that it has no princi-
pies and no issues that relate to ac-
tual conditions of government, and
does not know where to find them.
All the claim it can make t O power
is the egotistical assertion that while
there may be no party issue, Repub-
licans are ipso facto smarter than
Democrats and SO ought to govern.
No opposing party ever overturned a
national administration on such a plat.
form, and we doubt if one ever will.

ERNESTINE M.-The prevalence of
falling hair is alarming among all
classes of women. Dandruff is one of
the main causes of it. Another cause
is lack of nourishment of the hair
roots. The ordinary hair tonics bought

time being. These can not stop dan
druff or make hair grow. What is
needed Is to supply the necessary nu.
trin1ent so that the tissues of the scalp
and hair roots may return to their
original condition of vigor and health.
For this purpose nothing is so remark
ably effective as mixture OF one
ounce of beta-quinol, half a pint of al

HESTER C. S-Developing the bust
is a difficult matter and cannot al
ways be assured. However, a mixture
of two ounces of ruetone and half a
cup Of sugar in a pint of cold water,
and taken in two teaspoonfuls after
each meal and before retiring, is the
best and surest means known for the
purpose. Do not use pills, or mechan-
ical appliances.
MISS T. R.--A teaspoonful of eggol
in half cup of hot water makes an
amazingly rich and effective head
wash and dandruff remover. The &C.
ton OF this shampoo is to dissolve ev-
cry particle OF dandruff and fattay ac-
emulation, which soap does not do
because Of the a1kali it contains This
is the only head wash that acts on this
principle. 1t makes the scalp extra
ordinarily clean, and the hair silky and
easy to do up. This is very economical
as enough eggol can be secured for a
very modest price at any drug store
to furnish dozen or more of these
unusual shampoosA 1t is in fact a real
necessity to hair health.
MISS F. o. M agree with you
Nearly all face powders are too chalky
and make the face "powdery." 1 use
none but my own face powder, which
has absolutely no chalkiness. It Is
superb in its fineness, smoothness and
scent, and is indectable. 1t is now

MARY JANE E.-The removal of
superfluous hairs is accomplished
more easily, quickly and thoroughly by
the use of sulfo solution than by any
other means. This simply dissoIves
away the hair instead of burning it off
as do other depilatories. 1t never
leaves a mark. never fails and never
harms the most delicate skin. Any
druggist can supply you with the sulfo
solution or if he hasn't it, get the sulfo
powder. It's the same thing except
that you just wet it with little water
before applying it.
ARABELLA M-No. Face steaming
will not remove blackheads. You can
get rid OF them completely in few
minutes by simply rubbing them with
some powdered neroxin, sprinkled ON
a sponge made wet with hot water.
Any drug store can supply you with
the neroxin. Every blackhead viii dis
