promise of a sum of money, to give eer-

to come through" with a promised
check for $3.50, had asked him: "There
is no danger of you fellows falling out
and splitting this thing, is there?"
Rigall had testified that Oxman prom

GENIUS DIED IN POVERTY.
Because He Was Too Prud Wrk Be-
low His Ideals.

London, Sept. 2l.-( Correspondence o
The Associated Press A genius VIII,
might have amassed fortune died il
comparative poverty and obscurity il
London recently because he was toe
proud to give the world work which die
not attain to his ideals. Few people
even among those in the art world, re,
membered that Matthew Maris, the once
famous Dutch painter, was still living
and fewer knew that London was hi.
home, until the announcement of his
death at the age of rs appeared in a
morning paper to-day.
Matthew, the last of the family of
three gifted brothers, was one of the
geniuses who approach to madness. His
smallest picture was worth from Sl0,-
900 to $4,000 in the auction rooms, but
one rarely saw the light. He painted
only when he felt moved to paint, and
he felt moved seldom. OF late years he
absolutely refused to sell his work. Some
of those who knew him say that he was
a great idealist, but Others with more
commonplace point of view declare that
he was merely lazy.
Maris lived almost the life of her
init, and was supported by the generos-
ity of few friends. His studio was
barred to everybody, sealed against the
world as religiously as the hall of Yale
senior society. What the old painter
did there no one knows, but it is be-
lieved he painted pictures-the least
of which the greatest galleries in the
world would covet-and then burned
them because they did not realize his Wis
ion.
Art dealers who approached him with
checks and fattery were driven away.
He told them his pictures were not
worth selling, and he did not propose
to impose on the public, which followed
the fashion like sheep, and would buy
anything with name. For the same
reason he would not sign picture, hold |
ing that every work of art should stand
IN its own merits regardless of the au-
.hor's name.
The work he did was not turned out |
quickly He once remarked that he had
tarted portrait of two babies years
Igo, that the babies were now grand
parents and he was still working on
he picture. HIS chief vexation was the
income tax collector, who would not be-
ieve that an artist who Was one of The
highest sellers was without money.

PROVIDE WINTER P0TA-
TOES BY HOME STORAGE

Save late Irish potatoes by stor-
ing them in a room in the cellar,
or in an outdoor storage bank or
pit.
When stored in cellars, the po-
tatoes may be put into barrels,
boxes, baskets, crates, bins, or on
the floor, but must be protected
from the light.
Select a well drained location,
make a shallow excavation about
six inches deep, line it with straw,
hay, leaves, or similar material,
and place the potatoes in a conical
pile on the lining. Make the bot
tom of the pile about the same size
as, but not larger than, the bot
tom of the excavation.
Cover the potatoes with the
same material as that used for lin
ing the bottom of the pit and
carry it up several inches above
the apex of the pile of vegetables,
having it extend through the dirt
covering. This serves as venti-
lating fue, and it should be COW
cred with a piece of tin or short
board as a protection from rain.
The dirt covering should be two
or three inches thick when the
vegetables are stored, and it
should be increased as severely
cold weather approaches until it is
foot or more in thickness, or suf-
fcient to protect from freezing. In
finishing the pit, the dirt should be
frmed with the back of the shovel
in order to make it as nearly wa
terproof as possible.
The shallow trench around the
base of the pit should have an out
let for carrying off the water.
Supplement the dirt covering with
manure, straw, corn fodder, or
other protective material. Use
several small pits instead of one
large one, as vegetables keep bet
ter in small pits, and the entire
contents can be removed when the
pit is opened.

on the storage of potatoes, write

Washington, Sept. 22.-'No rent; take

This telegram from Henry Ford vas

day, turning his large automobile as

bridge, Mass, over to the nation.
The plan; will be used by the govern.
ment for the duration of the war as its

France.
Two weeks ago the department sent
several officers to Boston to select the
most suitable building in the city for a
terminal. Upon returning this week they
reported that in their opinion the Ford
plant was best for government use. Act
ing upon their recommendation, Secre-
tary Baker sent telegram to Mr. Ford,
asking n it would be possible for him
to turn the building over to the govern
ment, what the rental would be, and
pointing out that Mr.. Ford said some
months ago that he would do whatever
he could to assist the administration.

ment free of charge, was Mr.. Ford's an

ity it is possible that it win not be

NEWBRO'S
HERPICIDE

No woman can afford to be indiffer-
ent to the appearance of her hair. A
mass of nice snappy hair, becomingly
dressed, will add more in genuine
looks than a pretty face, or an ex-
pensive gown. Don't allow the scalp
to become clogged with dirt and dan
druff. Don't ALLOW dandruff to destroy
your hair. If your hair is uneven,
dead, dull and brittle and comes out
by the handful every time you draw
a comb through it, dandruff is the
cause. To rid your scalp of the
dandruff and check the loss of hair
should be your frat anxiety.
NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE will do
this and at the same time put the
hair and scalp in sanitary condition.
HERPICIDE appeals to those of
greatest refinement on account of its
exquisite odor, its purity and clean
illness. 1t contains no grease and
does not stain or dye. There is moth
ing more dependable than this re-
markable scalp prophylactic. The
hair responds readily to regular
and intelligent use of NEWBRO'S
HERPICIDE.
Try it and see. Send 10 cents to-
day to THE HERPICIDE CO.,
Dept. S, Detroit, Mich, for a sample
bottle and booklet telling all about
the hair.
For sale everywhere in soc and $500
sizes. Guaranteed by The Herpicide

Even before the final date set for re-

firms, for the federal food survey, re-
ports from more than 10000 dealers
were in the hands of the bureau of mar

Returns Required by Law.

Even with the excellence of the early
returns, the department called attention
to the fact that all firms called ON are
required to fill out and return the sched-
ules, and to do so promptly The law
providing for the food survey is manda-
tory and in order to carry out its in
tent and purpose, the bureau of mar
kets is insisting upon a 100 per cent.
response. While officials say that they
would regret invoking the penalties pro-
vided for in the law, they point out that
delays cannot be permitted to defeat the
purposes for which the legislation was
enacted, and that they viii not hesitate
to employ all the powers which the law
confers to combat negligence.
In no case will willful refusal to
make returns be tolerated. The depart
ment does not expect to have to resort
to eompulsion, but it is prepared to do
SO if it should become necessary.
