LONG WEDDINGS IN PERSIA
Ceremonies, Continuing Several Days,
Among Most Curious and 'Elabo-
rate In the World.

The marriage ceremonies which sol
emnize a wedding among the Moham-
medans of Persia are among the most
curious and elaborate in the world.
Any American bridegroom who dis
likes what men are wont to describe
as the fuss and bother" Of formal
wedding should regard the case Of his
Persian brother and take heart.
The Persian ceremony may take
from one to two weeks for Its compile
ton. Often the betrothal is a matter
of many years standing, having been
arranged by the parents when the prin-
cipals were still young children. When
the time for the marriage arrives the
guests are summoned by heralds, who
go about the neighboring villages,
bearing gifts of apples, cloves and
roses to accompany the invitations.
When some powerful parsonage is to
be Invited, the father Of the bride
groom does not send n herald, but goes
himself, bearing as rich present as
he can afford to give.
Before the wedding there is also a
curious little business arrangement en-
tered into. This is the matter Of
"kaben," or the price of divorce. A
sum is agreed upon in advance by the
payment of which the future husband
can put aside his wife at any time.
| When 1t is desired to make the divorce
difficult, the kaben is set at some i'm
possible sum or commodity. The hus-
band may be required to give the
bride q hundredweight of mosquito
wings, or one of his arms or legs, be-
fore he can divorce her. condition
which generally makes the marriage a
permanent affair.
The actual wedding festivities ex-
tend over days. The guests are given
rooms in the house and served with
| rich foods and sweetmeats. Musicians
and dancing girls are hired to enter
tain them, and If the families of the
bride and groom are rich the favorite
sport of the Persinns may be staged
by pair of professional wrestlers.
After the celebration has lasted
three or four days the bride rides
heavily yelled to her new home on
horseback. She Is followed by porters
bearing her dowry on their backs. The
wedding celebration then continues for
several days longer.

New Medical Marvel.

OF all the remarkable medical in
novations, probably the most marvel
Gus is new antiseptic solution per-
fected after ten years work by DIR.
Wilfred Fralick of New York; DIR. Os-
car Eckstein of the University of Ber-
lin, and DR.. A. c. Allen Of the Univer-
slty of Chicago.
1t Is superior to the famous Carrel-
Dakin solution because, In addition to
everything that preparation can do, 1t
can be used on the brain and in the
abdominal cavity and cun be injected
directly into the blood without dan
ger.
The last named quality makes It of
startling Significance In the treatment
of blood poisoning.
While to put the Carrel-Dakin solu-
ton into the veins of patient would
mean certain death, the new prepara-
ton, chlorinated solution of per-
manganate of potash, can be run d.
rectly into the blood stream without
disturbing anything there except the
evil elements meant to be attacked.

HINT OF WAR GAS IN MLIAD"
Homer Says That "Fierce Mars Spread
Vapor Over the Battle,
Aiding the Trojans.

Why, I wonder, Is the word "Ho-
meric" such favoritc with writer's at
the front and with the subeditors who
trick cut their narratives? In the Ho-
merle days men fought with swords
and spears and bows and arrows. with
the assistance of an occasional thun-
derbolt from Jove. What basis Of
comparison is there between these toys
and the weapons OF today?
Yet there is one curious parallel
which has not. | think, been pointed
out. In the fifth book Of the "Iliad"
we are told that fierce Mars spread
vapor over the battle, aiding the Tro-
jams" If not exactly poison gas, this
may be said to be at least an antici-
patton of the modern smoke SCREEN

GIRLS ! TRY IT 1! HAVE THICK, NAVY,
 BEAUTIFUL HAIR
Every particle of dandrun disappears and hair stops coming
 out.
Draw a moist cloth tfrourh hair and double its Beauty at
 once

Your hair becomes light wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young girls after "Danderine hair cleanse" Just try this-moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and excessive oil and in just few moments you have doubled the beauty of your ha1r
 Besides beautifying the hair at once, Danderine dissolves every par ticle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair
 But what will please you most will be after a few weeks use when you will actually see new hair-fine and downy at first-yes--but really new hair growing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty, soft hair and lots of it surely get a 25-cent bottle of knowlton's Danderine from any drug gist or toilet counter, and just try 1t.
 Save your hair! Beautify it! You will say this was the best 25 cents you ever spent.
