NEW YORK WANTS A CHANGE
Desires UnsightIy Post Office Building
Erected Soon After the War Re-
moved From City Park.

If the cracking of the walls of the
unsightly downtown post Office build
ing which for whole generation has
been permitted to occupy the souther-
" end Of City Hall park turns out to
be serious enough to necessitate the
removal. Of the building, it is to be
hoped that enough public spirit will be
manifested in New York to compel the
return of the park land to the city and
the erection of a new federal building
elsewhere, says the New York Times.
The building designed by Mullet has
always been regarded as an ill-favored
specimen Of architecture. The lower
end Of City Hall park had been seized
by the United States government dur
ing the war between the states as an
encampment for volunteers and the
shabby barracks did not disappear I'M
til some time after the war. The
ground was never repaired and it was
transferred to the federal government
for post Office and courthouse when
the minds of public-spirited citizens
were wholly occupied with other mat
tiers. The courtrooms have always
been i'll ventilated. The building has
been uncomfortable within and I'M
slightly as to its exterior. It's removal
has long been hoped for.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try Thisl Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, BeautifuI-No
More itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you cannot find q
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at f1rst-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance Of
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and Iuxuriance.
Get IS cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment that's
ail-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it If you will just try lit
tie Danderine. ADV.

RELICS OF FIRST CENTURY
Portraits Of Christ and the Apostles
Dug Up From the Ruins
OF Antioch.

Portraits of Christ and the apostles
which, it is believed, may be authentic,
are on an old chalice dug up from the
ruins of Antioch and now in the pos
session of firm of art dealers in this
city, it became known last night.
The chalice, according to the deal
ers, came directly to them from the
hands of the excavators in 1910. 1t
can be dated with certainty to the sec
ond half of the first century A. D.,
says DIR. Gustavus A. Eisen, the ar
cheologist, who is now in this country,
and who has made a preliminary re-
port upon it in the American Journal
Of Archaeology.
1t was found by Arabs digging a
we'll in Antioch, Syria. At the depth
of many meters they came upon IN
derground chambers, one of which con-
tanned the treasure.
1t is probable, say experts, that the
chalice is a replica Of the cathedral
erected in Antioch by Constantine the
Great after his removal of the capital
of his empire to Constantinople.
This Antioch church was intended
to be the center of Christian worship
in the East, and remained standing
until the year 526, when, during an
assemblage Of 100000 Christians, the
city was leveled by an earthquake SO
disastrous that one building could not
be distinguished from another among
the ruins.-New York Times.

WHAT THE CITY GIVES BACK
Those Who Return Home to Stay Are
Often Nothing but Empty
Shells.

I'VE who knew him in the days be-
fore the city swallowed him up (that
was 40 years ago. had forgotten all
about him until the other day, when
the morning train rolled in and we
stood ready to help unload the coffin
and then to follow it to the place on
the hill prepared for him, Tom Bodine
writes in the Paris (Mo.) Mercury. Ev-
cry now and then someone like him
comes home to stay, and it is the same
story so far as we who remain are con-
cerned. Not until the train comes to
standstill and the baggage car door
thrown open do we rGmember-and
sometimes it is poignant. When the
city took him he was young, and,
though bearing grievous burden, he
went hopefully. When the city gave
him back to US he was an old man
broken by many griefs, and desolation
looked up from the dead face, wherein
the majesty Of the final peace more
often sits enthroned.
What the city takes and what it
gives back are always different. Some
times it sleeps them in folly and re-
turns dead wrecks, whereon we look
and read an ancient regret for things
that might have been better-and per-
haps in the end, happier. Again it
swallows them up in the vortex Of the
great unceasing, pitiless economic
struggle, and, having sapped brain,
body and soul, returns to us the empty
shell that once housed our friend.
That is what it did to him.
Are not some fated to be bound to
the wheel and others to walk in the
glad places, and at the end Of the
dolorosa way is not there heavenly
compensation? Perhaps, but somehow
down deep in our hearts will continue
the bitterness of an ancient revolt be-
cause of empty and joyless lives, the
deep resentment because of that blind
fatality, which even through love,
wrecks human aspirations and makes
Of life an amending tragedy.

YES! MAGICALLY!
CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me small bottle Of freezone.' -
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all, dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment. and simply shrive1s up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone

his wholesale drug house for you adv.

GOES FROM DESK TO LAUNDRY
stenographer Quits $12-a-Week Job
and Is Now Making Several Times
That Amount Washing Clothes.

In writing on economy Thoreau once
observed that mankind is apt to ICON
slider not what is truly respectable, but
what is respected" Most young peo-
pie consider that it is a more respect
able occupation to sit at desk in an
Office than to take in washing. A
highly-educated Los Angeles girl
thought otherwise and proved her
point.
AS a stenographer she was earning
SD week and, not satisfied with this
pay, she quit not only her job, but the
whole stenography business. She was
not afraid Of soapsuds or hard work
and she had an idea that it was better
to be a prosperous laundress than an
impecunious stenographer: She con-
Quoted the business with brains and
efficiency and as result is now max
ing $68 week without working longer
hours than she did at her desk. She
now merely does fancy work, expen-
siye and delicate fabrics for wealthy
people; and the business grows. She
makes. something more than respect
able income.
There is a lesson here for any who
think any kind of honest work Is be-
meath them. To quote Thoreau again !:
"The life which men praise and regard
as successful is but one kind. Why
should we exaggerate anyone kind at
the expense of the others ?"-Los An
geles Times.

Saved bv Bullet.

1t is better to be born lucky than
rich, they say, and no doubt certain
policeman Of Acton, H., will sanction
the sentiment. He was one of squad
sent recently TO arrest two desperate
criminals who had been located hiding
in boarding house.
Wien cornered, one Of the men at
bay pressed the muzzle of his revolver
against the policeman's abdomen and
pulled the trigger twice.
The first bullet rammed in the bar
rel about an inch from the cylinder,
This effectually barred the pathway OF
the second shot, the force of which
tore a strip from the barrel an inch
long through which the bullet escaped,
thus destroying the usefulness OF the
weapon. Popular Science Monthly.

Prehistoric Canoe Found.

A prehistoric canoe has been found
at Loeb Kinellan, near Strathpeffer,
and has been presented to the Fort
Augustus museum. The canoe was
dug by its builder-what was he like,
we wonder?-out Of the trunk of an
oak tree. 1t measures "a feet from
stem to stern, and is feet 6 inches
wide at its broadcast part. In the
course of centuries portions of the
buried relic have rotted off, but the
bottom and the curves of bow and
stern are still in good. preservation. 1t
was discovered lying five feet below
the surface.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN LAND
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettIerS-AnxiouS to
Get Cheap and ProdIc-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there will
be a large influx of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For time
there has been falling off, on account
OF the fear of CONSUMPTION, which OF
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
Surance would not be put into opera
tIon. In any case it would not affect
the American settler, and moro than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices Sc
cured is having its influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out of one crop has reached
the ears Of the man looking for farm.
Wien he hears that G. III. Beatty Of
Nanton, Alberta, had $40 bushels Of
561a bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney E. Phillips Of Beddeford, Alberta,
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels of wheat, the average being
521a bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 12O bushels of oats to the
AL
Quinn Of Milk River had 1904 bushels
of wheat from 100 acres, an average
of 90 bushels per acre. and Robert
Tackaberry Of Nobleford makes aff1da-
Wit that he had an average of seventy
six bushels Of wheat per acre from
field Of 1858 acres. Thos. Boulton Of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had yield Of f1fty-three
bushels Of wheat per acre. Newell J.
Mobiles affidavit of getting 81 bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence Of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 122 bushels and 80 lbs. per
acre from 394.65 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels of
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or fifty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from flax field
(stubble .field) she got 20 bushels and
B8 pounds per acre.
1t cannot be said that these were
i freak yields because so many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for a farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only few Of the reasons
that viii cause large influx Of Amer
tcan farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
be had in many districts and the home
steader is welcome.-Ad
