Doctor Holds CANNES Responsible for
Epidemic Which Has Appeared
Among Women in London.

From London comes a warning to
women who have pet dogs. Since the
start of the war many English women
have found that they were losing their
hair. A West End hairdresser observ-
ing that he had had more cases of fall
ing hair in the last year than ever be-
fore, regarded worry and grief as the
cause, but physician advances an
other theory:
This explanation is partly correct"
says this physician. 1.-The depressing
effect on vitality of fear, anxiety and
sorrow reacts with serious conse-
quences on the hair. But in my opin-
ion the epidemic, if there is an epi-
demic, is to be traced mainly to infec-
ton from dogs.
Every hair expert knows that in
nine out of ten cases the premature
loss of hair is due to dandruff. That
condition often results from the pres
ence of microbes whose great source is
the dog. Ordinary cleansing with soap
or shampoo preparations is of practi-
cally no use, but simple antiseptics,
such as boric ointment, usually bring
about speedy cure. AS a preventive
measure dispense with the dog"

Pet Animals on British Vessels Show
the White Feather When Shells
Begin Exploding.

There are some incidents about the
mascots in the big naval battle of Jut-
land which are worth repeating. The
mascot on the Tiger was a bulldog, a
fine fellow. When getting into the bat
tie the crew were a bit concerned as
to how their favorite would take the
crashing of high explosives on the
ship, so they plugged his ears with cot
ton wool, wrapped his head around as
if he had a heavy dose of toothache,
and a couple Of men took the bulldog,
much to his annoyance, to a room that
was thought to be as quiet as the ship
could provide. The dog didn't quite
fancy being treated as an invalid and
resented the coddling, but when the
and was mighty glad he had pal sit
ting on either side holding him by the
paws.
Another boat had a fine, big black
cat. He was overlooked when they got
into action, aud the first shell that
came aboard this fellow got loose and
took q flying dive overheard. AS the
boat was going about 81 knots, even
the most tender-hearted Jack Tar
could hardly risk going after Tommy.
On another ship they had little BAN
tam, which strutted about more proud
ly than the dinkiest midshipman and
| with as big a show of courage as the
hardest of old seadOgs. The tars
were proud of the "swank" their pet
could assume before strangers. When
| the first German shell crashed on
| board the bantam lost all his fine show
and flew down one of the ventilators.
When he was rescued and photo
graphed after the fight he presented a
bedraggled appearance.-LOndon Post.

Uncle Sam Training Thousands of
Military Cooks.
Officials Seek to Remove Causes for
Complaint That Have Existed In
Previous Wars.

Uncle Sans new national army will
be well fed if preparation counts for
aught.
The general staff is working on a
plan to feed the more than half-million
rockies who will assemble in the 16
environments for training.
The variety Of the menu will neces-
sarily be limited to the regular army
ration. But it will be properly pre-

In recent wars the "grub" Of the
valiant volunteer has been the object
Of scandal. 1t was "embalmed beef"
in the Spanish war. On the border
last year the National Guard howled
Justify against the army mess. The
answer was incompetent cooks.
To guard against repetition of such
complaints, the general staff has COM
pleted plans to train a gigantic army
of cooks. Thousands Of young men
will be instructed in the art Of mill

open the new cooks will be right oD

The instruction will include hsw to

DADDI'S 'SEV[NDN(
AR TALL a.
CARROTS, THE DOG.
~ MARY GRAHAM BONNER

"At the top Of hill," said Daddy,
there was farmhouse, and in that
house there were two little girls
named Agnes and May, and a small
dog named Carrots.
"Just why the dog had been named
Carrots no one knew; but he seemed
to like his name and always jumped
and spoke in his dog way when anyone
used his name.
snow every morning Carrots had
his work to do. Down at the foot of
the hill there were many small sticks
from the outskirts of the woods, and
these sticks did splendidly for kim
dlings. Carrots knew that several bas-
kets filled with sticks were brought up
by the farmer every day, and he al
ways liked to do his work, too.
$50 in the morning Carrots, with
a leap and bound, as he got out of
the house, rushed down the hill, and
brought up three sticks in his mouth.
HE was such small dog and he
always carried three sticks, which
were usually quite long-as long as
he was. He would leave the sticks in
the kitchen and bark, so his master
would say:
"'Good doggie, fine doggie.'
"And then off he'd go for another
trip. After he had taken this trip sew
eral times the farmer would say:
"'Good doggie, fine doggie. No more
CarrotsP And Carrots would know
that his work was over and that he
mustn't bring up more wood. For
the farmer did not want to tire Car
rots. He was such a plucky little dog
and would never have said or shown
that he was tired.
'It was a hot day and Agnes and
May had packed a picnic basket. They
were going to take their lunch down
by a creek which was cool. There
were great big trees overhanging the
brook and their mother had promised
them that they could go in wading.
"'Come, Carrots!' said Agnes.
"'Come alongv said May.
"Carrots did not need to be urged.
He was ready at once. He barked and
he jumped up and down. What fun it
would be when his two little mistresses
said COME in such way. He knew
it meant picnic or a swim, and Car
rotS was warm, too.
"Off they started-just the three of
them-Agnes, May and Carrots. The
little girls walked along rather slowly
they were so warm, but Carrots
scampered about with glee.
"They reached the creek and the
first thing they did was to take of

Orange Popular in Tropics.

In the tropics the orange is even
more appreciated than farther north
because of its wonderful thirst
quenching qualities, and the eating of
it is a more highly developed art. In
the Porto Rican cities oranges are sold
on the streets by push-cart merchants
for a cent apiece. The vender ,deftly
peels each orange with a Sharp knife
in such n way that the outer yellow
skin is removed and a thin white coat
ing of uniform thickness remains, with
a small hole at the top. SO treated,
the orange may be sucked to the last
drop without the least danger that it
will break and soil the fingers; but it
takes a genuine artist to peel the fruit
In the right way.

Turtle Fishing Chief Industry

Grand Cayman is one of the out-of.
the-way islands of the West Indies, a
small and isolated outpost of the Brit
ish empire. 1t is the island nearest to
the Central American coast among
those of any size. AS a result of this
proximity, the leading industries of
the island are turtle fishing and COCO
nut shipping, both of which products
come from the Mosquito coast of Hon
duras and Nicaragua. Grand Cayman
is base of operations, a halfway sta
ton in the trade. The island has an
atmosphere of prosperous leisure, be-
cause all this work is done away from
home.

Smith drove the borrowed runabout
in sober silence, and the glorious
beauty in the seat beside him did not
try to make him talk. Perhaps she, too,
was busy with thoughts of her own.
At all events, when Smith had helped
her out of the car at the hotel entrance
and had seen her as far as the eleva-
tor, she Thanked him half abSently and
took his excuse, that he must return
the runabOut to Maxwell's garage, with
out laying any further commands upon
him.
Just as he was turning away, a bell
boy came across from the clerks desk
with q telegram for Miss Richlander.
Smith had no excuse for lingering, but
with the air thick with threats he made
the tipping of the boy answer for a
momentary stop-gap. Miss Verda tore
the envelope open and read the inclo-
sure with fine-lined little frown COM
ing and going between her eyes.
''It's from Tucker Jibbey," she said,
glancing up at Smith. Someone has
told him where we are, and he is fol-

was one of relief at the thought that
Jibbey would at least divide time with
him in the entertainment of the bored
beauty; then he remembered that Jib-

That's so," was the quiet reply. "Of

"No; can't do that, either. l shall
keep out of his way, if l can. If he
finds me and makes any bad breaks,
he'll get what's coming to him. If he's
worth anything to you, you'll put him
on the stage in the morning and send
him up into the mountains to join your

because you didn't leave him any

sity of making shipments of food pro-
ducts from the states. Along the
many streams adjacent to the railroad
is found a plentiful supply of cotton
wood and spruce, from which large

The Importance of Immediately COM

be appreciated when it is seen that the
navy could then be supplied with fuel
on the Pacific coast, without having it
shipped across the continent by rail,
thus releasing thousands of cars for
the transportation Of war materials

Ohio'S HFire ands ~

The term fire lands was applied to
a tract of country in northern Ohio.
After the Revolutionary war when Con-
necticut had ceded to the United
States her undetermined land posses
sions in the West, she reserved a tract
embracing 100000 acres, now included
in the northeastern portion of Ohio to
do as she pleased with. The land so
reserved was called the Western re-
serve, or Connecticut reserve. The
state of Connecticut subsequently sold
it on easy terms to certain of her citi-
zens who had suffered at the hands of
the British during the war. Because
