WHAT TO DO WHEN
HAIR GROWS THIN
Give the Hair Root Nourishment and
Stop Spread of Badness.

Thousands Of men and women are
growing bald every day and don't
know the reason why. This is indeed
pity because badness usually
comes from carelessness and anyone
who gives the hair just a little at
tention should have an abundance OF
good healthy hair. Dandruff and dirt
help to cause badness by clogging
the pores i'm the scalp and giving the
dandruff germs fertile ground for
prolific breeding.
The treatment Is very simple: re-
move the dirt by shampooing and de-
stro- the danGruff germs by fire.

He is known as Will Brown, with
a long string OF aliases. He started
out to swindle negro women by offer

charged a fee for an employment pol
icy. OF course after the fee was paid
there was no job, and Will depended
on his wits to keep out OF the way
OF his victims.
But when he got caught he imme-
diately married his dupe and in that
way STAYED off prosecution. II Is
stated that he has marrieu altogether
nine women whom he had swindled.
VIII at last came to grief and his
downfall was great. Fully forty
women have appeared against him
as witnesses and he Is lodged in jail
with a half dozen scases docketed

P. o. MEN PLEASED
Conviction of Stamp "Fenees" In
kentucky Highly Encouraging.

Postoffice Department officials are
elated at the success of the prosecu-
ton, at Louisville, KY, of two men,
alleged fences" for the sale of
stolen postage stamps.
Officials have found great difficulty
in prosecuting alleged buyers of
stamps secured in postoffice rob-
berries, because OF a court decision
which held that the Government
must prove that the person purchas-
ing such stamps knew that they
were stolen.
1t is declared that many reputable
business houses have bought stamps
in large quantities at discounts that
must have put them on nSGce that
they were stolen in postoffice rob-
berries.
The men convicted were Henry F.
and Augustus NJ. Bronson, dealers in
axle grease, harness oil, stock, and
feeu.

HOUSE ORGANIZING
SOURCE OF FRICTION
l Both Parties Find Voting on
Speakership Only a
Minor Trouble.

Regardless of the election Of q
Speaker-and Champ Clark Of Mis-
souri, now seems to be a length ahead
in the Speakership race-a fine row is
in prospect over committee assign
ments when the House of Representa-
tives begins its work. Both the Dem
ocrats and Republicans have recalci-
trant and ambitious members and
party .generalship must be exercised
to a high degree to prevent an insurg-
ent coalition.
For instance. the Democratic party
in the House is united so far as the
candidacy of Speaker Clark is cdn-
cerned, but there is no unity so far
regarding committee places. A Few
Northern "wets," who opposed the
prohibition tendencies of the leaders
in the last Congress and want to
forestaIl more prohibition legislation
in this Congress, are threatening to
kick over the traces when 1t comes
to assigning leading "drys" to pow
erful committee places.
Southerners HDry" As To Votes.
If the adjournment threats are
carried out there will be careful scru-
ltiny by the "wets" of the member
ship of such important and powerful
committees as Judiciary and Rules,
which have most to say about prohi-
bition legislation. Southern Demo
Gratis are notoriously "dry"-in their
.voting-and the Northern members
from the wet" cities may kick up a
lot of trouble by refusing to load the
committees down with prohibitionist
Southerners unless certain promises
are made.
The Republican troubles are of an
other sort There is still a smattering
of Insurgency and progressiveism in
the Republican ranks.
The committee fights on that side
of the chamber will be the result of.
rivalry between the standpat and
progressive factions and these trou-
bles must be ironed out in the event
the Republicans should control the
House.
May BE Temporary Coalition.
There are growing indications that
Speaker Clark will be elected as pre-
siding officer OF the lower body and
the Democrats will control most of
the committees. There is a prospect
of bipartisan organization of some
of the committees, or q temporary
organization that will continue for
thirty or sixty days. However, should
the Democrats have the votes to or
ganize all down the line they will
insist that a permanent organization
be effected, and speedily.
Leaders of both parties were busy
wiring for absentees today. Mem
bers from the faraway States-such
as California-were advised to take
no chances regarding railroad connec-
tions but to start back to Washing
ton in ample time to reach this city
before next Monday.
