Saturday to stop the widely prevalent

This practice, the administration holds,
is likely to lead to wasteful buying. The
exception in regard to corn meal is made
as wheat conservation measure, to en-
courage greater use of corn products, but
dealers are not required to make the
exception unless they so desire
Ample power to enforce its orders to

through its licensing of whole

| low center is conveyed the food neces
sary to its growth and health. The hair
in itself is not very much subject to dis
ease, but it is affected by the ailments
and conditions of the other parts of the
body and it shows the result of this in
fluence in several ways; for this reason
we must proceed to the treatment of dis
eases of the scalp and hair in what may
seem very indirect method.
Falling of the hair is one of the most
common troubles. The hair comes out
sometimes in spots, but usually there is
a general thinning out all over the head,
the hair becoming dry and brittle, break
ing off and splitting at the ends. This
annoying ailment is almost always in
dcative of one of two things: either a
lack of nourishment or else hot, fever
ish condition of the scalp. The treat
ment then must depend on the general
condition of your health. If You are in
weak, debilitated state, or if you are
suffering from long continued or severe
nervous mental strain you must over
come these conditions before you can eX-
pect any improvement in your hair. Or,
on the other hand, if you are in plethor-
lc state, Iull DlOOueu, WIN IeNerlSH sgHhp-
toms, with a sensation of heat in the
head, dry, hot skin, etc, you must like
wise correct this tendency before you
can have healthy growing hair. In eth
er case tone the system by tonics, good
food and plenty of rest and sleep; avoid
hair restoratives, hair tonics, etc, and
take flowers of sulphur in small doses
(say quarter of a teaspoonful twice
day in a little milk. Stimulate the
roots of the hair by frequent and long
continued use of soft brush; clip off
the split ends, and keep the scalp clean.
There is nothing better for washing the

KING PRAISES u. S.
MISSION IN A TALK
WITH NORTHCLIFFE
Shows Surprising Acquaintance with the
Possibilities of Aircraft
Production.

London, Nov. l9.--Lord Northcliffe
states that in an audience extending over
an hour Saturday he heard from the lips
of King George at Buckingham palace
his majesty's view of the present state
of the war and the world Importance OF
American intervention.
Speaking of the American mission and
of Colonel House, whom he had known
for number of years, King George said
that the personnel of the American mis-
sion displayed knowledge and aleftness
indicative of the American character and
purpose.
Lord Northcliffe was surprised by the
kings intimate knowledge of the posi-
bilities of aircraft production in the
United States and his majesty's great in
terest in the Liberty engine, and his
knowledge of the men who have evolved
it and the method by which it has been
produced.
Lord Northcliffe was commanded by
his majesty to convey his thanks to the
members of the British war mission for
their good work, in which they were so
considerably assisted by their American
colleagues. The king is absolutely con-
fident of complete victory.

HANDLING OF TOBACCO.
Has Undergone Distinct Change il
North Carolina.

Winston Salem, n. c., Nov. ia com
plete revolution in the method of hand
ling leaf tobacco from the time 1t Il
gathered from the field until it is ready
for the market has been made recently
in Piedmont, North Carolina, one of the
largest tobacco growing sections, to meet
the increasing demand for bright tobac'
co used in the manufacture of cigarettes
The new method saves labor, time and
fuel.
For many years, the growers in this
district have bent their energies toward
raising heavy tobacco regardless of the
quality, since practically all of the tobac-
co grown was used in the manufacture
of chewing tobacco They would allow
the tobacco to mature in the field and
when it began TO turn yellow would
commence gathering it, cutting the whole
stock and stripping the leaves after cur
ing by heat
/ Under the new methods, the leaves
are stripped from the stalk in the field
according to the degree of ripeness The
tobacco is topped in the field so each
stalk will have an average of about
twelve, so the process of stripping re-
auires about four trips over the field, at
Intervals Vi VI lOui udNcs dlOh Lilg
the leaves to mature regularly and even
ly.
The new process has several points
of advantage, the first and main one be-
ing that the leaf is allowed to cure even
ly and bright. The stripping process,
which permits of speedier handling has
resulted in a much shorter marketing
time.
The average amount sold each year
on the Winston Salem market in recent
years has been about p million pounds,
though the unusually short crop of 1916
amounted to only about IL million
pounds Last year the crop sold for an
average of about Is cents a pound. the
largest in the history of the market.
This year with more than half of the
crop sold, the average price paid for
il TO November | was more than 30 cents
a pound.

ANTHRACITE
MAY JUMP
Price May be Advanced 45
Cents a Ton to Absorb
Increased Wages
PRICE HINGES
ON DIR. GARFIELD
Miners and Operators Reach
New Wage Agreement In
volving S40,O00,00O Raise

Washington, Nov. l0.-Wage increases
ranging from 10 to a per cent for Penn
sylvania anthracite miners were agreed
to by operators here Saturday, on condi
ton that the advances are absorbed II
higher coal prices.
As soon as they had signed their ten
tative new contracts, miners and opera
tors called on Fuel Administrator Gar.
| field and asked that anthracite prices be
raised to meet the increase. DR.. Garfield
took the request under Amusement and
announced that he would make careful
investigation before rendering decision
1t is estimated that the wage in
creases would add about as cents ton
to anthracite prices and give the miners
about $40 100000 additional pay annual
ly.
Fuel administration officials would not
say Saturday night how Dr. Garfield
views the demand for higher anthracite
prices. When bituminous producers and
miners fixed new wage scale recently,
he increased bituminous prices to absorb
the raise, but bituminous prices had just
been cut sharply in the governments
fixing of coal prices. Anthracite prices
remained at about the same level under
the price fixing.
DIR. Garfield may make an announce
ment early next week. He had informed
the miners and operators that the gov
eminent would make no promises on
which they might base negotiations. The
only official recognition the fuel admin
istration gave to the conference was to
have two of its experts, John p White.
president of the United Mine Workers of
America, and James Heale, attend some
of the sessions.
The new contract, if approved by DR..
Garfield, will supersede supplemental
contract increasing wages made last
April, which supplemented a four-year
contract signed in May, 1916, and will
run until March 81, 1920, if the war has
not ended by that date.
What effect favorable decision by the
fuel administration would have on the
price of coal to the public is question.
Under the present conditions, mines must
sell at government fixed rates, and the
iobbers are given profit OF 20 cents
ton. Transportation rates and retailers
margins are also under control of the
fuel administration. Apparently 1t
would mean to the public at least the
increase of As cents ton at the mine.
as the price at which the retailer would
be able to obtain coal would be raised
that amount under the proposed condi-
tons.
Conferees were unwilling to say what
sfrect they believed refusal by the fuel
administration would have on output |
and labor conditions.
1t was said that the mines were short |
of men, because other indus
.ries paying higher wages had drained
hem, 1t was decided not to disclose the
situation further until DIR. Garfield had
yiven his decision.

RAILROADS. ATTITUDE.
Judge Chambers Returns from New York

Washington, Nov. l9.-Judge William
L. Chambers, commissioner of the Unit
ed States board of mediation and concil
iation, returned to Washington Saturday
after a conference at New York Will
railroad managers in regard TO the pro
posed demand of the railroad brother
hoods for an increase in wages,
Judge Chambers sought information
as to the precise attitude of the railroad:
toward the demands, for the information
of President Wilson when he confers with
the brotherhood executives on Thursday
to bring about settlement of the con
troversy.
Although the result of Judge Cham
bers' conference was not officially dis
closed, it was said that the railroad man
ayers had indicated they saw no rea-
son in this instance to change their long
standing policy of willingness to sub
init to arbitration under the Newlands
act.
