Why Be Bald?

the parasites that produce this dis.

like depressions at the root of the
hairs and cause the loss of the hair.
There are two forms of the isease.
The first is attended with a greater
or less amount of scaling or crusts
and with drying of HI scalp. In
the second form the scales unite with
oil from the scalp and form a crust
over the head that is removed with
difficulty. This is the form that usual
ly causes badness.
Experiments have proved hat dam
druff is catching. An ointment
was made from the scales of a mans
head and rubbed into the backs or
! guinea pigs. The pigs contracted
the disease and lost their hair.
Dandruff often is spread by pro.

lessons. The disease is one of early
life. coming usually between n
twentieth and thirtieth years. Both
sexes lose their hair from dandrun
though women rarely become bald.
Heredity also has something to DO
with badness. One does not inherit
badness, but an individual often in
herits a weak muscled scalp-one
| that easily falls a victim to badness.
With men the shape of their hats
| has much to do with the shedding or
their hair. Stiff hats should be
| blocked to the exact shape of the
| owners head so that 1t will not press
| too tightly at any one spot and thus
stop the flow of blood to the scalp.
Massage of the scalp is effective
in preventing badness. 1t must be
| done at least once a day and two or
three times daily will do no harm.
The following is a good method:
Grasp the scalp with the open hand
and with firm pressure endeavor
to gather up a handful of scalp In q
bunch. Use first n hand for a
few grabs and then the other. Keep
it up systematically, going over the
scalp thoroughly until the skin is In
a warm glow. This done vigorously
for five minutes at a time will soon
strengthen the scalp muscles n
open up the tiny cylinder shaped
holes through which the tiny hairs
can grow. Tincture of green soap
should be used to wash the hair.

FREEHOLDERS BEGIN TO ECONOMIZE

An interesting correspondence between the
Board of Freeholders and C. S. Atkinson, Sec
rotary of the Raritan Terminal and Waterways
Association, is published in another column. We
are very glad to note that the freeholders are
becoming so careful about the spending of the
taxpayers money, but We wish this concern had
been manifested all through the year when the
paving contracts were being given out.
1t is one thing to save $40 Of the taxpayers
rooney when 1t is to be used to further the cause
of deeper waterways in Middlesex county, and 1t
is quite another thing to squander thousands of
the dollars which the taxpayers have paid into
the county treasury to fatten the pockets of the
patent pavement trust.
We do not believe the freeholders can get
away with such a p~icayune demonstration Of
economy as this. Truly, the members of the
county board must be panic stricken over the
uprising of the taxpayers when they get down
to such fine points as the refusing Of a payment
of $40 as dues in an organization which has for
its first object the deepening of the waterways
which. if accomplished, will mean more to Mid
dlesex county than any project that can be
thought o.,
1t is to laugh.

YOUR HOME TOWN
By DIR. w. e. BARTON

and look over the mail, and meet you
somewhere for lunch"
Have you ever climbed Bunker
Hill monument?
Not If you live in Boston!
Some years 6 a Boston editor, a
wise and good man, visited Plymouth
for the first time. He was so m
pressed with the dignity and signii-
canoe of the National Monument to
the Forefathers that he proposed a
replica of it be erected in Boston for
the benefit of the many scores OF
thousands Of people there resident
who could never see 1t at Plymouth!
They would be more likely to make
the trip from Yakima or Duluth.
Think not that Boston has any
monopoly of this characteristic. New
York is the most provincial city on
this continent, as London is the most
provincial city on the globe. But
proud as New York is of New York,
it is a protective pride against the
| rest of the world rather than an ia
telligent pride in the things that
New York deserves to be proud of.
No one in Chicago ever visits the
stockyards except with friends from
out of town; but not even with those
friends does he visit the university,
or the art institute.
Not very far from where you live
is something notable.
Do you know it?
Are you proud of it as the really
notable feature of your town?
Every man owes it to his own town
to know the best that is true to it,
and to be proud of it.
How much do you know about
your town?
1t is not too late to learn.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1921-09-23

It is good for one to travel, and
to learn what people do in other
places and how they do it. But 1t is
not well to be ignorant of one
town.
Most of us know very little about
the important features of the cities
where we live.
An English literary man who a
recently returned to his own country
from a visit to the United States,
where it is to be feared she did not
greatly enjoy himself, writes in n
of the current magazines:
"Only foreigners and provincials
know anything of the treasures of
art and architecture that any city
possesses. Have you ever seen a
Florentine in the UfiZi? or a New
Yorker in the Metropolitan Museum ?
This may be too extreme a question,
but 1 am certain that no one ever
saw q Partisan in Sainte Chapelle,
and it was not till they heard the
other day that 1t was about to fall
down, that any Londoners ever en-
tered Westminster Abbey. If, how
ever, YOU wish when in Paris to be
| sure, of hearing your W language,
no matter from what country you
come, you may confidently seek the
Louvre.I
How often would you visit West
| Minister Abbey if it were in your
own town? Probably only when you
had o~ut-of-town visitors who wanted
to see it. Quite possibly you would
not visit it even then, but would
say
"You run in and take a look at the
Abbey. The guide-book will tell you
where to find the things you want
to see. I'll run over to the office,

REGISTER AS WE'LL AS VOTE

Voters should bear In mind that next Tues
dav besides being primary election day is also
registration day for the general election
Even though a person may not be permitted
to vote at the primary it is still possible TO go
to the polling places and register for the gen.
eral election to be held in November.
Only those persons who voted at the last gen.
eral election or who registered in person at the
first registration day this year can vote at the
urinary this year, but anybody can register for
the general election.
Thus two things may be accomplished next
Tuesday. The person who makes 1t a practlce
TO vote every year usually waits until primary
dav TO do his registering for the coming general
election. Having voted at the last general cleo
tion he IL automatically carried over for this
year,s primary. But even though he is carried
over he must sign the poll book before he votes
as is required at every election, whether a prl-
mary election or a general election.
But besides signing the poll book to qualify as
a voter in the primary the law says he shall also
register for the coming general election unless
he has already registered in person at the pre-
yious registration day this year.
At every election, whether a primary election
or a general election, it is necessary to sign
ones name In the poll DOCK. lhlS sisha'uAe 40
in a sense, a receipt showing that you have voted
and it prevents somebody else coming in later
on and voting in your name. This signing the
poll book is for the protection of the voter. 1t Is
. safeguard against fraud.
But when the primaries are held it is also
registration day for the general election, al
though one cannot register at that time for th'
primary election. That must be attended to be-
fore the primary day unless one voted at the
general election last year. Although one
has not registered in person before this veal
he must register for the general election whef
he goes to vote at the primary.
For those who have not registered in person
this year there are two books to be signed on'
hook is the poll book showing he has voted a
the primary: the other is the registration boof
for the general election. When the general cleo
tion is held in November it will be necessary e
sign a book again to show that he has. cast hi

A BLIGHT ON BUSINESS.

One of the greatest blights affecting business
TODAY is the excess profits tax. When any bust
ness man finds that practically all the money he
makes over a certain percentage has to be given
to the government in the form of taxes he Is
not going to try very hard to make any more
money than Just enough to keep within the
certain percentage. In other words there is no
incentive for him to run his business at Its
greatest capacity only to make the government a
present of the larger profits he would make by
30 doing.
This is what this excess profits tax means. On
all profits over a certain limited amount there
is a very high war tax fixed which is little short
of confscation above the stated sum. 1t Is all
well enough to say that a fair profit ought to be
s~ufncient for any man and that all a man makes
over a fair profit ought to go to the government
but human nature cannot be changed in any
such way.
If the laboring man found that there was an
excess wage tax whereby practically all that the
laborer made over five dollars a day was taken
by the government in the form of a tax on the
excess wage, how many laborers would be work.
ing their hands off every day after they had
made their five dollars knowing that they could
keep but little of what they made over the five
dollar limit?
Because of this excess profits tax business
generally has Jagged as there is no incentive FOR
. man to try to do more business than over a
certain amount. The detriment to the full re-
covery of business that this excess profits tax Is
to the country has been fully realized and the
Republican party pledged itself in the last cam
paign to repeal this feature of the war. Presi-
dent Harding and Secretary Mellon, Of the
Treasury Department, have both urged the re-
peal of the excess profits tax at the present
session. In fact, this was one Of the purposes
for the President calling congress together in
extra session.
But despite the expressed wish of the Presi-
dent and the secretary of the treasury the
House of Representatives, in revising the federal
tax law, deferred the repeal of the excess prohts
tax until January 1, 1922, leaving 1t apphcapie 10
The current year. The senate finance commlttee
Is convinced that the repeal should take erect
as of January /, 1921. Even the ways anu
means ommitt in the House believes the re-
peal should be made retroactive
The matter is still pending In congress- rup-
lie opinion is being expressed in all parts Oh the
country in favor of lifting this burden from
business and give the business man some en-
couragement to cut loose, for when he Is trying
to make all he can he is furnishing employment
for others and everybody benefits. Congress
ought to repeal the excess profits tax so as &c
apply to the present year. 1t would be one OF
the greatest boons business could have IN get
ting back to normal conditions.

no need for such precaution. But experience
