is RACE TO BE HAIRLESS7
Prediction Made, Not Without Reason,
That Coming Generations
VIII Be Bald.

That the man of the next century
will have no hair on his head has been
predicted time and again. and the fact
that many men under forty are bald
seems to indicate that this may be
possible, the men of the coming gen.
erations acquiring badness at an
earlier age until finally hairless
specimen of the genus homo shall ar
rive. But II is through no fault OF
their own that men are losing their
hair, while women are perhaps un-
consciously getting ready to become
hairless females of the species. and
while they may be only working out
the will of Providence. they are doing
1t deliberately by "bobbing" their hair.
The fashion was introduced, It is
said, by Russian women, who disguised
themselves trying to get out of their
bolshevist-ridden country. Coming to
the United States, their bobbed hair
attracted attention. was first taken up
by the bohemian set in New York,
and now Is rapidly spreading. Some
Of the older women, not wishing to
sacrifice their locks, are said to be
wearing false bodied hair.

The graduating class of Terre
Haute school gave the teacher a part
ing gift. During the speech she made
acknowledging the gift she noticed
that one boy was weeping. Then she
told how touched she was by the emo
ton displayed by this boy. "What
greater tribute could teacher have
than to have child cry because he
was leaving herr" she later asked the
class
One of the other boys remained
after the others had left. Miss n"
he confided. you thought Jim was
crying because he was going to leave
you. but he wasn't. 1t was because

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence Of DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies. in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people. and the
large majority Of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t Is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However. If you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

The great war affected the destinies of
Egypt more than those of any non-com-

inal viceroyalty under the sultan of Tur-
key, came 10 an end on December, 1914,
with the abandonment of the suzepainty
and the declaration Of a British pro.

ruler on a Mohammedan throne-t The

advantages of the plan are widely recog-
nized and widely agitated, until today
there Is scarcely a community of any
size in the south but dreams Of cotton
mills.
There is no good reason, of course,
why the west that grows wool should
not manufacture WOOL. New England
has nc vested rights in the VESTS wool
or the south's cotton. AS a matter Of
fact. there is a lot of waste motion In
the superf1uous freightage of the present
arrangement. And such waste motion is
peculiarly intolerable in view Of our in
adequate transportation and high
freight rates. 1t is not in the interest
