How modern science, by
combating infectious scalp
Sebum, is working won
ders in hair growing

Are some of your friends who
were seemingly headed for badness
a few months ago now proudly
showing you a healthy new growth
of hair? Don't be surprised at what
ever you hear. Simply take it for
granted. Modern science has per-
fected a new way which is working
wonders. Authorities say the bald
headed man may soon be rarity.
And facts seem to bear them out.
About one year ago, this new
method was first introduced in Min
neapolis. Accompanying it was a
written guarantee to stop falling
hair and grow new hair in go days.
Most men greeted it with skep-
ticism. But the makers persisted in
their guarantee and finally obtained
a few users. People had been de
ceived so many times with so-called
hair growers" that regardless OF
the high scientific background of
the Van Ess Method, they were
loath to try it.
But with these first few users
came, shortly after, amazing results.
In about 80 out of every 100 cases
the method did the work. Men whose
hair was falling fast found that it
could be stopped--aimost at will.
Others in the initial stages of bald
ness discovered to their own amaze
ment that new hair could be grown.
Several doctors, the first to dis
count it, became loudest in their
approval. Badness had at last been
conquered. Today we see fewer bald
or partially bald men.

often it becomes infected, air SEEM
ing to have this effect upon it. Then
it cakes on the scalp, often causes
irritation and forms breeding place
for germs. Bacteria by the millions
accumulate and feed upon the hair
Falling hair follows, then semi
badness, then total badness. You
can see it on your scalp either as
an oily excretion, or, when dried,
as dandruff.
The Van Ess Method is the first to
effectually combat this infection. 1t
is rnassaged directly into the folli-
cles of the hair by means of pat
ented applicator which comes with
every bottle. 1t revives dormant
hair roots, and proves, even though
badness is already manifest, that

WOMAN IN U. S. REVENUE

Mrs. Mary E. Mack at Louisville

LOUISVILLE. KY, March 16.-Mrs.

having defrauded the late DIR. John e.
Harper of Chicago of $4,000 by use

Transactions resulting in the in

The manufacturers still sell it
under written, money-back guaran-

without risk. If the treatment fails,
the user pays nothing. Many of the
most prominent business and pro-

now using it. Results are incredible
until you see them with your own

OFFER $1,000 FOR SONG.
Yale Alumni Want to Replace
bright College Years."

NEW HAVEN. Conn. March ia
prize of $1,000 has been offered anony-
mously for a representative Yale
song, the Yale Alumni advisory board
announced last night
This announcement apparently ends
the controversy over Yale'S OLD
classic. Bright College Years" which
has been it's chief song for many gen.
erations, but which, since the war has
been discarded, because 1t was sung
to the tune of Die Wacht Am Rhein. !"
A poll at the Yale Club in New York
recently showed many Yale men to be
in favor OF abandoning 1t.
While no mention of the contro-
versy over Bright College Years" is
made in the announcement, 1t Is sug-
Geated that the tune should, 30 far as
possible, "be such as not to invite OBJ
Jections from graduates or under
graduates" The possibility that the
words of Yale's old song may be re-
tanned is indica ted by the declaration
that the award may be made for a
new musical setting for a song al
ready available"

Orioin of Term "Mess"

originally the term mess" as ap-
piled to persons who are in the habit
of eating their meals together, and
thus particularly of the parties into
which a ships company or an army
regiment are divided, was a group of
four persons sitting at one table
and helped from the same dishes. In
the Inns of Court, London, the orig
inal number is preserved. four bench
ers or four students dining together.
In the navy it is usually cOnven-
lent to have q captains mess. an
other for the wardrOom officers, an
other for the warrant officers, etc.
The mems mess for the sailors or
marines is styled the general mess"
but this is generally divided into
sections, as a matter of convenience.
1t has become common to employ
ammunition passcrs as mess attend
ants.
In early times the word ''mess"
was applied to food of more or
less liquid character, as soup. por-
ridge. broth. etc. 1t is probably in
allusion to the sloppy nature of
semi-liquid mcsscs of food that a
mess has come also to mean n state
of disorder, confusion and discom-
fort. Skeat takes the word to be
variant of 'mash," originally to mix

BLESSING of Wine

:. A singular custom is that observed
in BoulbOn- en- Provence, a village in
the department of the Bouches- du-
Rhone. near the town of Aramon,
France, so famous for it's red wines.
Every year, on st. Marcellin's day.
that is on the first of June, there is
a procession of bottles. About z
o'clock in the evening, while the bells
are ringing at full pitch. the men
the men alone-assemble in q pro-
cession march to. a distant chapel,
every one carrying a bottle OF his
best wine.
The cure blesses these bottles,
after which the participants drink
a gulp of this wine while the priest
chants psalms.
At the end of the ceremony the
cortege returns to the village, this
time following the banner Of st.
Marcellin. And everyone goes home
with the/ precious flask, which is
only opened in case of fever. stomach
trouble or other indispositions.
st. Marcellin. in Boulbon-en- Prov

is to wine. In periods of drought his
bust is carried across the vineyards.
whereupon, the carriers sing, and i'm
