SURCHARGED
 STAMPS ARE
 NOW VALUABLE

Angora, Sept. 2-The Nationalist government has given a new interest to Turkish stamp collections. It has not only issued. at various times, porary kind, but 1t has also sur charged with it's name various sets of revenue and postage stamps printed originally by the Imperial Ottoman government at Constantinop1e.
 It has lately arranged to have printed in Italy a complete set of new stamps of it's own, thereby mak- ing more valuable the temporary and surcharged stamps used during the
 past two years
 The surcharged stamps, frequently taken from the offices of the minis tries of foreign affairs and the Treas
 ury, at Constantinople, have in sev- erai cases been surcharged with the lettering upside down.
 Lieutenant Commander Robert Dunn. intelligence officer at the American Embassy, Constant1nople ton of Turkish stamps, has during his l and owner of the single largest col1ec- l various trips to the interior. formed a large collection of the Nationalist stamps, some of which he estimates
 in value from $50 to $1o0 each. Among the rarer stamps printed by the Ottoman government during the l great war was that for the Dardanells l campaign and another for the Egypt l tian campaign. The latter stamp shows | the Turkish soldiers crossing the Suez | Canal, but as the expedition ended 1T stamps as of the Egyptian campaign were later blocked out and they were used up as ordinary stamps.

BALDNESS

One loses ones hair in several ways. There is the senile badness that comes with advancing years, and the premature badness which comes on with middle or before middle life. One becomes bald also by reason of excess s1Ve dandruff, confined through several years; also from blood disease; also from some disease of the scalp that destroys the hair follicles or i'm pairs the performance of their proper functions Then there is the falling of the hair that comes on suddenly after some severe illness, such as typhoid lever, or pneum onia: or after a severe confinement; in some cases after a nervous shock or strain. And finally there is the badness that comes in patches here and there on the scalp, perhaps no larger than g. dime or quarter of a dollar
 We may consider any loss of hair commencing about the 45th year, and without apparent cause, to be senile have preceded this for several years,
 or may be coincident with it. Or the halr may fall without becoming gray. The process once having begun is | progressive. though it's rate of prog ress may be slow, or fast, and may, by careful management, be retarded. Ihe paldness may first show itself on l the top of the head forming the ton sure, which slowly increases in size
 and, moving forward, tenders the whole top of the head bald. Or the badness may begin at the tenn pies and move backward. That is why the
 bone beneath the scalp in that region
 is called the temporal bone-because 1 there the first ravages of time are in- l dicated by graying then badness. The | hair fall is always symmetrical In | many of our felIow-citizens the hair
 is preserved for a time in the middle | or the scalp in front. This also Tn time | gives way and then scalp appears
 smooth, oily, shiny and as if stretch | ed. Very rarely is the beard affec1ed
 The cause is senile badness as a pro-
 gressive atrophy of the scalp; men are | far more prone than women, though l the latter do also suffer. The treat ment of this kind of falling hair Is
 generally a triumph of hope over ex- | perfence; but the process can pc long delayed by right measures. More o1 l this tomorrow
