NEWSPAPER CONSULTATIONS.

The consolidation of newspapers is the rule throughout the United States. New newspaper directories show town after town of 2o,OO0 or 3O GOO population with but one newspaper, and that is the prevailing condition in towns of less population Even the large cities have been profting from the consolidating epidemic. Seat tle Tacoma Spokane Portland and other west ern cities have had but morning and two evening papers for many years Now other ana larger cities are eliminating papers. St Louis Cleveland and Pittsburgh and other cities nave but one morning and two evening papers each
 In many of the smaller towns the morning newspapers are being swallowed up by the even ing papers and put out of the way. The latest consolidation of that sort to come to our notice is Olympia Washington, a town Of l4,ooo or 15 900 population, where the Morning Olympiah and Evening Recorder consolidated and will he continued as the Daily Oympian, printed as an afternoon paper
 Even in fast growing New York the well known Herald Sun, Globe and Mall and Ex- press have been eliminated through consultations within the last few years
 The cost of running a newspaper Tn these days has reached point where 1t Is unproht- able to attempt it in a crowded field

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

The inauguration by the Seward Fish Com pany with the Virginia w. of weekly trans portaton service along Chatham Strait, calling at a dozen ports between Juneau and Port Alexander, is an important step in the ad- vancement of the commercial interests of this place and of the people who reside at or near the ports of call. Juneau is the natural center for the trade of Chatham Strait She is many miles nearer the ports along that stretch of water than Ketchikan. For many years the peo- pie of that region have wanted a regular week ly service with Juneau. mail route between them and Juneau ought to have been established long ago. The people who want such service know that, and have urged 1t for years. mail contract ought to be let to the Virginia " now
 The people of Juneau should encourage MT Dudden and his company by giving them, if possible, sufficient support to induce them to keep the Virginia " the run continuously
 The Virginia " will sail from Juneau on the Chatham Strait route every Saturday evening, returning Wednesday, and for Chichagof and way ports every Wednesday evening, returning Sat urday.

that shuts off the free circulation of
air from the scalp. This condition is
not only unsightly, but it destroys
the health of the hair and invites in
fection.
While there are many good RENE
dies for dandruff on the market, it is
mistake to believe that the mere
application of salve or lotion will
rid the scalp of the trouble perma-
nently. The fakes should be gently
loosened With a fine comb and
brushed out about once a week. Every
day the scalp should be massaged
thoroughly and the hair brushed out.
If the hair Is inclined to be dry q
special salve may be rubbed into the
scalp before the massage. Here is
good recipe to use: One and one-half
teaspoonfuls flowers of sulphur; two
ounces carbolated vaseline; ten grains
quinine, one ounce olive oil, one
ounce witch hazel. The ingredients
should be blended very thoroughly.
When applying a salve to the scalp
one should try to avoid smearing it
on the hair. Divide the hair into
small sections and carefully rub a
little of the ointment along the part
ngs. Now massage the scalp.
A hot oil treatment before the
shampoo is excellent for dry hair and
dandruff. Plain olive oil may be used
or a. mixture of equal parts of olive oil
and mineral oil. After the oils have
been heated they are applied to the
scalp as described above and then the
head is wrapped about with a hot

of starers were out to work. On an.

This was done 1000 times. If con-

just about 500 guesses are right,
there's nothing in it. Well, 502 is
the actual score! All pure chance!
Verdict: Nothing in it!
Now a detail. If you put down an

down to an Z for a pure guess, will
you be more often right when you
are sure with a strong "hunch" than
when doubtful with a weak "hunch"?
Again, no difference at all. That feel

1t was only question of time When
the police broke up the gang of high

guides was obvious, and three were in
stalled in the Capitol. One OF them
was Capt. B. J. Cady, now chief guide,

Harding.

Senator So-and-So. When we tell him
we have no record of the senator. he
is surprised. The fact is, he was re-

During the Summer about 1000
tourists visit the Capitol daily. Last
Wednesday 400 were shown through
the great structure, but there will be
a gradual decrease from now until
Spring. Arrangements are often made
by the railroads far in advance for
their patrons who contemplate visit

cloth trimmed with black astrakan or
Persian lamb.
For afternoon wear there is de-

lace.
The woman who wears black for
mourning of course avoids the cream
colored lace Instead of white or
ually worn with black, she wears
gloves of black suede. She chooses
fairly transparent black stockings or
those of dark gunmetal. Shoes are
preferably of dull kid or suede-but
these may also be worn with any
smart black costume. For deep mourn

way of trimming, but the wide bands
of Grape, though still seen in France,
