MRS EL1ZABETE TLeMpSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: What is
good remedy to cure dandruff? What
is good for itching scalp? What will
stop falling hair? INQUISITIVE.
For a diseased condition of the
scalp, | believe brushing is most effic-
acious. The brush must have long
bristles, rather far apart. in order that
they shall reach the scalp and the
stroke stimulate it.
Also there must be a massage given
every night. A tonic put on at the
same time is likely TO hasten improve
ment, and a mixture / like is made
from a dram of alcoholic tincture Of
cantharides, half a dram of tincture
of capsicum, two drains of nuX vOm-
lea, three-quarters of an ounce of CO.
Goa oil and two and half ounces of
cologne. If the hair happens to be
heavy with natural grease, one more
likely to agree is made from half an
ounce OF alcoholic tincture of canthar-
ides, three-quarters of rosemary, give
crime and aromatic vinegar, with an
ounce and half of rosewater.
The hair should be combed and
brushed thoroughly, not only fiat to
the head, but putting the brush I'M
derneath and drawing the hair loose
and free, so that all parts are VEN
tilated. Each stroke must begin on
the scalp so the tips of the bristles are
felt.
This done, the tresses should be di-
Vided into two sections, one-half pin
ned so that it will not get in the way
when the other half is treated. Then
some tonic should be poured into a
saucer and applied with a soft tooth
brush. The hair is again parted not
more than an inch from the middle
and with the little brush the scalp line
is wet. Another division not more
than an inch away is made. that line
wet and the hair laid over, repeating
the partings and applications until
the entire scalp has been treated. This
done, maSsaging should begin. A final
brushing is given, and the hair
loosely braided for the night.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: | have been
married for 10 years and my husband
was twice my age when | married. He
is now old and childish and cranky
while | am still young and fairly good
looking. He doesn't allow me to go
any place or entertain friends. Just
recently | met classmate of mine
who has made good i'll the west and
he wants me to leave my husband and
marry him. Since my husband offers
no happiness and nothing but druid
gerry should | accept the Younger
mans offer? UNDECIDED
When you married you knew that
your husband was twice your age
and YOU faced just such conditions as
exist now. Your duty is to him, and

These countcrattacks have failed to

obtaining mastery Of small strategic
positions, which Will be the keys to
further progress there is yet no sign
Of the Germans making any effective
countcvo1cnsiyc.
The liussians' remarkable Victories
reveal a most interesting situation. The
army OF the German general, Count
Won Bothmcr holding the Stripa near
the lcmbcrg-Tarnopol railroad, was
a few weeks ago being outilankod on
the south by Gen. LctchitZky's sue
ccssful advance when the Dncstcr
floods prevented LetchitZky's further
progress. This enabled Won Bothmcr
to hold on to the threatened positions.
Gen. Sakharoff then devoted himself
to cnvclopng Won Bothmcr's force on
the north, with what success is seen
in his double victory west OF I.utsk
and at Brody.
Thus Outfankcd north and south,
ii is considered impossible that Count
Won Bothmcr can longer delay cXtri-
eating himself from his prccarious po-
sition, even if he now can do so With
out serious losses. The Russians at
Brody are at present nearer Lcmbcrg
I!laE Won Bothmcr's forces, which are
entrusted with Lcmbcrg's defense, and
although the country between Brody
and Lcmbcrg is very dnicult ii be-
comes a question whether the cyacua-
lion Of both Kovcl and Lcmbcrg will
not soon become necessary.

Alderman j. J. Adams stated Mon
day morning to The Advertiser repre-

supply now being used With this
end in view contract has been en-

Unity of the present old well which
has been out Of use for some time. Ac-
cording to the expo Citations of the
council the three new wells with the
old we'll will yield a daily supply Of
100000 gallons, enough to meet any
mcrgcncy.
The present system will not be
done away with, but it Will be allowed
to stand Just as it is for any cmcr-
gcncy. The council does not antici-
pate any emergency serious enough to
require water from the old Systcm

the farm. he said, as long as the pco-
pie play politics" as they have in
the past.
Mr.. Nichols, he said, had promised
to secure 3 per cent money for the
farmers last year, but that the best
he could do was TO vote for a rural
credit bill making it possible for the
wollto-do landowner to borrow
money at G per cent. What the coun-
try needs, he said, is cheap money for
the poor man.

Gas Works in Japan.

For a nation accustomed to lamps
and candles for cenSSries, the fact that
nearly 100000 pA5ople in Japan now
use gas for lighting purposes, is
worthy of notice. Despite the charges
for gas, higher than in Europe or
America, the per capita consumption
continues on the increase. In time
more developed condition of the in
dustry will permit of a lower rate
through the production and sale OF
dyes, coal tar and other by-products.

causes of numerous accidents at first,
but the results have not been so uni
formly fatal as in many foreign coun-
tries This is principally due to the
fact that the rooms of Japanese houses
are not so nearly alright as the
houses of this country. The amount of
capital now invested in gas works in
Japan amounts to about s26,000,000,
with about $50 miles of piping. The
concerns engaged in the enterprise
have on the whole done well from the
standpoint of profit, the dividend
yields being about 10 per cent annu-
ally. The hydroelectric industry in ia
pan, however, is developing fast, which
may cause the gas companies to suffer
somewhat.-Philadel Commercial
