Owner IN The us.

The purchase by General T. Cole
man du Pont of the Waldorf-Astorla
makes him one of the largest, II not
the largest hotel owner in the limited
States, and L. M. Boomer, president
of the company, now has the manage
ment of what is probably the most
valuable series of hotels and restaur-
ants in the world
General du Pont is now heavily IN
terested in the Waldorf-Astorla, the
Hotel McAlpin the Hotel Clar1dge'
and the Hotel du Pont in Wilmington,
and is reported to be interested IN
the Hotel Taft in New Haven. Prop
critics under the direction of L. M.
Boomer, who has been closely asso-
ciated in business with General du
Pont for several years, are the hotels
above named, their restaurants and
the Cafe Savarin in the Equitable
building.
Mr.. Boomer, who was hotel clerk
few years ago, is in his early for

the properties, which he manages, Is

Mr.. Boldt said yesterday:
1.-The sale of large interest in the
company running the Waldorf
Astoria was not made suddenly. AS a
matter Of fact, my father had con-
sidered it many times before his
death. Our first discussion of the
subject took place about five years
ago. My reason for making the sale
was that 1 wished to relieve myself
of the enormous work which the
management of the hotel has involv-
ed, so that I could devote my atten-
ton to other affairs in connection
with my fathers estate. The deal in
no way involves the Bellevue-Strat-
ford Hotel at Philadelphia, which be-
longs to the estate. The estate also
retains the business of the Waldorf
Astoria importing and cigar compan-
les.
while the deal had been under
discussion for some time, it was not
concluded until about II o'clock Sat
urday night, and the new company
has not even had a new name yet.
@I am not at Liberty to name the
price, except to say that it runs into
seven figures. The work which
have done in connection with the no
tel will be taken over by Mr. Mar
shall. the manager of the Vanderbilt
My understanding is that Oscar
who has been Immediately in charge

years, will continue there. Nc

HAIR COMING OUT?

Dandruff causes a feverish irrita-
ton of the scalp, the hair roots
shrink, loosen and then the hair
comes out fast. To stop falling hair
at once and rid the scalp of every par
ticle of dandruff, get a small bottle
of Danderine at any drug store, pour
a little in your hand and rub it into
the scalp. After a few applications
the hair stops coming out and you
can't find any dandruff.-Adv.

MODERN WARFARE

Secretary Daniels, writing in
the Geographic magazine on the
American navy, says:
There has been on an aver
age one war in every 20 years of
our national life, and in most
wars the naval engagements can
be counted by minutes. Men,
therefore, spend most of their
careers getting ready for the SUI
preme moment. 1t may never
come, but woe unto to that Of
fcer who lacks initiative and
clearness and GOODNESS in that
one moment when all he has
learned and practiced is worth
less, unless he can summon it to
his command upon the instant
of the decision"
In the fight against the liquor
traffic in Illinois, the primary
election on September II
will be the supreme mo-
ment. All that the drys have
learned and practiced will be
worthless unless they can sum-
mon it to action at the ballot
box. September IL, 1913, is the
one day upon which the expert
ence and knowledge and training
of the Prohibition forces for the
past quarter of century must
be made to count.

was also Liverpool and some scat

ing barely steady at a decline of Is
TO 25 points, active months soon sold
25 to 35 points net lower. An expec-
tation that the weekly report of the
weather bureau would make a more
favorable showing. than recent re-
views owing TO the southwestern rains,
partially increased the disposition to
take profits on long contracts. Octo-
Der sold off 10 34.10 and January to
1885, making recations of some 20 to
90 points from yesterdays high levels.
The decline extended to 1895 for
October and 1885 for January late in
the first hour, but the weekly report
OF the weather bureau was unfavor-
able, proving a decided disappoint-
ment TO recent sellers and the mar
ket rallied sharply in CONSCIENCE. Buy
ing also was stimulated by a private
report placing the crops condition at
only So. compared with $50 last
month, and by midday the market
showed advances OF IS to 90 points
