A SHAMPOO WORTH TkYING

It is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently If it is en-
tirely and properly cleansed each
time by the use of really good
shampoo. The easiest to use and
quickest drying shampoo that we can
recommend to our readers is one
that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair and may be en-
joyed at very little expense, by dis
solving a teaspoonful of canthrox,
which can be obtained from any drug
gist's. 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 to the
top of the head This, when rubbed
into the scalp and onto every strand
of hair, chemically dissolves all i'm
purities. 1t is very soothing and
cooling in its action, as well as bene-
fetal to both scalp and hair. After
rinsing out the lather so created.
you will find the scalp is fresh, clean
and free from dandruff. while the
hair dries quickly and evenly, devel-
oping a bright luster and soft
fufiness that makes it seem very

Chicago Adman and Divorce
Found Dead Together.

CHICAGO. March 9-The pick of Chi
cago's detective force was engaged today
in endeavoring TO solve the mysterious
double killing Of Capt. Clifford Bleyer.

aud member of several exclusive clubs,
and Mrs. Ruth randall, a beautiful
divorcee- found dead together In the
latter's apartment late last night, each
shot in the right temple and with re-
revolver lying between them.
While their deaths appeared TO be the
result of a suicide pact, and while this
was borne out by evidence that Bleyer
had been visitor al the apartment for a
long time, the fact that no powder marks
were discovered led to a theory that the
two may have been murdered.
A poem of DEATH written in a
woman's hand. was found on a desk IN
the same room that the bodies were
found This read
Sleep For my hand is sure
The cold steel bright and pure
Strikes through thy heart and mine,

Mrs. Bleyer the wife OF the slain man,
is at home with their two little daughters,
Frustrated from grief. She said she never
had the faintest suspicion that her hus-
band was leading a dual life.
Mrs. Bleyer's maiden name was Andre

in Paris. France, where she was mar

MINERS STAND
FIRM ON WAGES
Union Officials Say Award
Must Do Full Justice

Nothing short Of a substantial in
crease in wages and improved working
conditions will be acceptable to the
United Mine Workers Of America as an
adjustment of the wage controversy that
has been pending since last fall, accord
ing to a statement issued today at the
I nited Mine Workers headquarters here.
The statement also declares that IN
less the settlement of the controversy Is
made on this basis and unless the miners
re granted an increase that will bring
their wages up to a level that admit of
their supporting their families on a
decent American standard. it will be
impossible for them to feel that full
Justice has been done.
The coal commission appointed by
President Wilson is expected to make its
decision very soon. The miners are
awaiting it with much anxiety, it was
said at headquarters.
NEW YORK, March 9.-Anthracite
miners OF the United Mine Workers Of
America will go into conference on
wages and working conditions with mine
operators today. Recognition of their
union in the anthracite belt and adop-
ton of the closed shop is one of the de-

WILSON LETTER
REGARDED AS
A SHOWDOWN
Both Party Leaders Say 1t
Means League as 1t Stands
or None.
NO EFFECTS APPARENT

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The league
as it stands or no league at all Is the
issue in the treaty fight as President VIZ
son sees it, in the opinion OF senator's
of both parties who today discussed VII
sons letter to Senator Hitchcock.
Senators Borah and Hitchcock, who
represent the opposite extremes, agreeu
that the president had clearly drawn
the issue and that if the treaty goes
into the campaign, 1t will be upon that
basis. At the same time senators work
ing for a compromise on the reservation
Of Article 10, continued their work. They
read into Wilson's letter an implication
that he would accept, against ms VII
the bipartisan reservation of Article III.
EFFECT OF LETTER
NOT YET APPARFNT
The question of how far the presidents
letter will affect democratic senators
who have been wavering probably Will
be answered only when the maj ron
is called on the treaty.
Hitchcock, the democratic leader, sald
in his Judgment, the letter would not
change the situation.
On the republican side, the bitter
enders" were pleased to note that the
president wanted the issue as clear cut
as they want it, Borah said. Borah
has maintained that The only way TO
go to the people of the country in the
campaign on the treaty is on an issue
of the treaty as it stands or no treaty
al all.
Republican mild reservationists were
inclined to be angry at the Wilson de-
scription of them as mild nullihers.
The letter may send them back into the
Lodge camp, it was believed.
What he termed IAN unfair and un'
fortunate reflection on France In the
presidents latest letter to Senator
Hitchcock on the treaty was severely
criticised in the senate this afternoon
by Senator Lodge, the republican leader
Lodge also declared the president at
titude in the Adriatic dispute to be
wrong and said Italy was entitled to
possession Of Fiume II only rs

HOSPITAL NEAR
FINANCIAL RUIN
Capacity May Be Cut Third,
Due to Lack of Funds.

Unless additional funds are forthcom-
ing for maintenance II may become neces-
sary to reduce the City hospital to one
third of its present capacity and turn Il
into an emergency hospital, according to
Or. Herman G Morgan, secretary TO the
board Of health.
Finances for operating the hospital are
now at such low cbb that It Is be-
coming impossible to keep the institu-
ton I'd to standard with the most rigid
economy. according 10 health officials.
The matter Is again TO be placed before
Mayor Jewett. who has been asked for
conference by members OF the health
board
CONDITIONS SAME
AS OTHER INSTITUTIONS.
The board met last night and went over
the financial condition OF the hospital
and found that IL IS on the same basis
as other public institutions as regard
finances since the state tax board took
charge Of the purse strings Of Indiana.
According 10 Or. Morgan the hospital
is now operated OH a 1918 tax levy Of 10
cents on each 500. whereas there has
been Increases In the cost OF operation Of
from 25 to 200 per cent. This is espe-
cialIy true IN the matter Of drugs and
HtulEluts.
During the last two years tho hospital
has had an unusually large number II
patients due to Influenza epidemlcs, 80
being cared for during February. The
average cost per patient has been kept
as low as SECS daily.
REVENUE NOT
SUFFICIENT FOR COSTS.
With the paying Of spring taxes the
board will have a revenue Of s20G,T 82 for
the year There Is now an outstanding
loan of $40. 900 on which $1,000 interest
has accrued. Salaries for the remainder
Of the year will amount to S145, 900. leav-
ing a balance of s9,762, on which to main
tain the hospital. II is estimated that
before the close Of the year bills aggre-
eating 10 more than S120.000 will he in
Cured and that even by renewing the
loan OF $4,000 there win still be a
deficit so great that II will he impossi-
BILE to operate the hospital.
1t is hoped by members of the board
that Mayor Jewett will confer on tho
matter this week and offer some solution
TO the hospital problem. At present
health officials can see no way out OF
the problem but to make great reduc-
lions in the scope OF service at the hos
pital.

u. S. ASKS FOR
NINE TANKERS
Wants Use of Ships Pending
Court Decision.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The United
States has sent a note to the reparations
commission, requesting that the nine
tank steamships whose ownership Is
claimed by the Standard Oil Company
and which were seized from Germany,
be temporarily allOcated to the United
States.
The tankers were the subject of a con
troversy between this government and
Great Britain last fall and they were al
lowed to make one trip under the Ameri-
can flag, but since that time have been
held in England pending a decision ON
ALLEGATION of the ships. France also has
requested that the ships be allocated to
that government.
The state department is of the view
that the ownership must be settled
through the courts and asks temporary
possession of the ships pending a court
decision.

Sank Yacht
But SdUed
HisHdtchet
Tourist From Fort Myers Chopped
Hole in His Yacht and Sank it
at Cleveland.

A strange incident happened at
Cleveland. Friday morning. A man.
apparently a tourist from abroad.
armed with an axe, came up there
from Fort Myers, went to the water
front, where the yacht Fern" was
lying, boarded the vessel and deliber-
Iately chopped q hole in her bottom,
causing her to sink, it is alleged.
He was and is the owner of the
yacht it is said. Being notified that
he would not be permitted to sink
her in the channel, he engaged a
power boat from Chadwick Brothers
of this place and had her towed out
of the channel to the spot where he
sunk her.
On arriving at Cleveland, he an
nounced his intention to sink the
yacht; whereupon, several gentlemen
tried earnestly to dissuade him from
doing such a thing, urging him to
either present the vessel to some
worthy charity, or sell it and give
the proceeds to some deserving cause;
but they failed to swerve him from
his determination and so he proceed
ed to sink the yacht, as stated. Af-
ter having carried out his intention,
he boarded the south-bound noon
train and returned to Fort Myers.
taking the axe with him.
1t is stated as fact that, a few
weeks ago, he paid $8,0O0.00 cash for
the yacht. After buying it, he sent
or took it to the ship yard at Cleve-
land for an overhauling. and it had
been there two weeks awaits at
tention; but the yard was , is
rushed with work and could not give
prompt attention to the Fern,
This delay, some suppose, may have
so eXasperated the owner that he
'lost his head" and did the ridicu-
lous thing he did. He never, how
ever, gave any reason whatever for
his deed. His inexplicable act
caused great deal of talk both here
and at Cleveland.
a message from Fort Myers print
ed in the Tampa Times of Saturday
leads to the conclusion that c. w.

White Ants or Wood Lice
Serious Pests in Citrus Groves on
Newly Cleared Land

Many owners of young groves, par
ticularly in the northern part of the
citrus belt, will soon be banking their
young trees as a precaution against
losing the bud if the winter is severe.
1t is important that the earth used
for banking be as free as possible
from rotten wood. Otherwise white
ants or termites may attack the
banked trees.
These insects, sometimes called
wood lice, live chiefly in rotting
wood, and are almost always to be
any length of time. If rotten wood
is piled about the trunk of the tree in
banking them there is danger that
after the termites have consumed the
material they may be forced by hun
ger to attack the bark of the trees.
Young trees are frequently entirely
girdled and killed in this manner.
1t is only during the first few years
in the life of the grove that trouble
may be expected from the termites,
because newly cleared land contains
more or less rotting wood. AS the
material disappears the termites
gradually leave.
Careless pruning so that strips of
dead wood are left in the trees is also
liable to attract termites. After this
dead wood has been consumed, they
attack the bark of the living tree.
Another source of trouble from
termites in grove is from wood
piled there for heating purposes. If
not used it is frequently thrown
around. the base Of the tree to get
it out of the way and there it rots
and becomes heavily infested with
white ants. Such wood should be
kept as far from the trees as pos
sible, suggests ]. r. Watson, ento-
mologist at the Florida Experiment
Station.
These insects cannot bear light |
and, therefore, can be driven from
any tree they have attacked by scrap
ing away the earth and leaving the |
parts exposed. Do not set young
trees much, if any, deeper than they
stood in the nursery rows, otherwise
they are liable to be attacked. When |
the males and females take on wings
they are black. AT swarming time |
they swarm forth from the nests by
thousands. The nests are located by
the swarming. The termites may be
killed by pouring solutions of carbon
or sodium cyanide into the
nests.

Six families of tourists totaling
about twenty persons, young and old,
are occupying the free camping
ground on East Marian avenue. A
Herald man called at the camp,
Tuesday, and found only women and
children there, the men being out
fishing or on other errands. Some of
the campers have materially improv-
ed their situation by the ingenious
construction of very cosy quarters,
one of which is rustic room made
of natural materials found on the
ground and heavily thatched with
palmetto leaves. The women were
asked if they were pleased with the
camping ground and the convenien-
cies provided by the Civic Associa-
tion for their comfort, and they an
swered that they were delighted with
every thing and felt the greatest ap-
probation for what had been done for
them.
