Ma,u Antirahies Vaccine.

A vaccine against hydrophobia that
seems to have many advantages over
those Of Pasteur Calmette, Babes and
others has been invented by Prof.
Claudio Fermi, superintendent Of the
Institute of Hygiene, University of
Sassaro, Italy, and has been adopted
extensively in India The London
Lancet describes this serum-vaccine
and says Prof. Fermi has had only one
per cent of his patients die during
treatment, and every one of those who
completed the treatment was cured. OF
the mad dogs he inoculated all were
cured.

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY Her HAIR

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is will kept
to Judge of woman's neatness, or
good taste. If you are one of the
few who try to make the most Of
your hair, remember that it is not ad-
visable to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes, but al
ways use some good preparation made
expressly for shampooing. You can
enjoy the very best by getting some
canthrox from your druggist, dissolve
teaspoonful in a cup Of hot water.
This makes a full cup Of shampoo
liquid, enough so it is easy to apply
it to all the hair instead of just the
top Of the head. Dandruff, excess oil
and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy
that 1t will look much heavier than
it is. Its luster and softness will also
delight you, while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair

dark, damp and dreary.

Latham Davis returned yesterday
from st. Joseph, Mo-, where they
went Saturday to attend the marriage
of Mr.. Halleck McCord Brady to Miss

have been engaged for some time, but
even the Omaha relatives had been
expecting that the ceremony would
not take place until after Mr.. Brady
had completed his three months
training in the officers reserve train
ing camp at Fort Riley, Kan.
The, wedding was simple, because
of the scarcity of time. Mr.. Brady
wore his uniform and the bride wore
a pretty suit Of white. They left for
Kansas City to spend Sunday, but Mr..
Brady was obliged to return to Fort
Riley BY this morning. II is expected
that Mrs. Brady win come to Omaha
the latter part Of the week for visit
with her relatives here.

Shipping Board In Action

The news that shipping rates on the Atiahuc
Ocean are to be reduced is long overdue Ihls Is
one problem that it expected the shipping
board would attend to early in its career. Cnfor-
tunatelv the first head of the board Mr.. Denman,
was too preoccupied with his wooden boat scheme
to give the proper amount Of attention to the ad-
mnstrative side of his department. The abuses
of the shipping situation have long called for some
form of settlement Too many millionaires have
been made out of INDECENT owners of waterlogged
schooners.
1t is inferred that the whole plan of insurance for
shipping and the charerng of vessels for hazardous
service has been settled upon. We can now look
forward to speedy solution of the shipping tange.
That Hawaii will share in the sacrifices through
having it's fastest vessels ultimately taken off the
run we may be assured. The need for fast bottoms
is pressing. In fact there have been too man. in
stances of sailing vessels being sent into the sub
marine infested waters, where they stood next to
chance of surviving, because of real scarcity OF
tonnage. This is circumstance that would never
have been permitted had the details of the shipping
situation been in hand
The powers Of the board are very great far great
er than any that the interstate commerce commits
sion ever held over the railroads Every ship I'M
der American registry is subject to its orders. In
time of war the business of ocean freighting as
sumes public character and it is the shipping
boards duty to administer it as any other public
utility should be administered.
Great things are expected of Chairman Hurley's
incumbency of Office. He has been forced to build
his organization from the ground up, there being
very little left from what his predecessor had &C
complished that he has been able to utilize

STUDYING THE STARS.

In the neighborhood of twentyf five or thirty years
ago the Lick telescope at that tine the largest in
the world, and given by the millionaire James Lick
of San Jose, was placed in commission on Mount
Hamilton, domeshaped mountain of the coast
range hills. This instrument, with lens of about
four inches thick, was considered almost worlds
wonder, and the first peep through its refractor
was recorded in every city of the world. But that
which was paramount wonder yesterday is back
number and almost out of date today.
AT Mount Wilson, in California, there is now be-
ing mounted another "largest telescope in the
world" The lens of this refractor is 13 inches
thick, and when ready for use stars that are now
three and four times distant beyond the power of
modern telescopes will be revealed to the man with
his eye at the peep" of the Mount Wilson refractor
1t is believed that this new telescope will prob
ably make possible the study of stars whose light
travelling at a rate of 1S3, 900 miles second re-
quires 10000 years to reach the earth 1t must
certainly be agreed that these luminaries are a
fright smart" distance from this footstool. A lit
tie calculation shows that these stars are in the
neighborhood of 1912, 72O0 900 100000 miles distant
in the seemingly blue ether. With the new tele-
scope it is claimed that such stars will be clearly
visible .~"=.
Astrologers and certain promoters of sms for
the Deneht OF those who would be acquainted with
their astral selves aim to demonstrate that indivi-
duals on this earth are influenced by certain stars
Of certain consultations. When this is given deep
study there appears to be truth in the theory
and in this way one may understand the awful
darkness that surrounds some people. 1t is prob
able that their ruling star is one of those whose
light requires millions of years to reach them and
if they live long enough they will probably see the
light. They might hurry this expected occasion by
taking peep through the big refractor.

EDITOR:
Risen From the Ranks

Every American enjoys special thrill when he
learns that the man at the head of an army, or an
enterprise, or Of the country itself comes under
the classification of those risen from the ranks"
1t is of pride that in country oppor-
tunity is open for every in any direction he
may select. Where and when the man will arrive
depends the man and not upon caste custom
or autocratic barrier. For this reason much salts
faction is experienced one reads locally of the
Splendid men in the regular army who have won
commissions and are their way up after giving
years of loyal service in the ranks.
Just now attention is conferred on our forces in
France, and it is pleasing to know that General
Pershing's righthand man, his chief of staff, came
up from the ranks. Col Harbord wanted to 60 to
West Point, but failed to secure the coveted ap-
pointment. He had graduated with honors from
the Kansas agricultural college, had lived on farm
and knew how to work. His typical American
pluck was shown when he enlisted with the an
nounced intention of winning his way through the
ranks.
How we'll Col. Hartford has made good his prom
Use is in icated by his selection by Gen. Pershing
for the great adventure in France. And the ro-
nance of this true story is satisfied by the fact that
Lieut.. Col Claude B. Sweezy, who won the West
Point appointment is good officer in all respects,
but twelve numbers below the farmer boy risen
from the ranks.
Instances of. this character in various activities
Of our military, industrial and commercial life are
not uncommon. Col Harbord and those with him
are fighting today that the youth of tomorrow may
have the same freedom of opportunity that he en-
joyed.
1t is important that we should dwell on these
facts and recall that in pledging ourselves to sup
port the faith of our fathers we are guaranteeing
more magnificent heritage to our children.
