HALLEY' SCOMET Whatever strange phenomena that may occur each year in the stellar world, comets and meteors are the most strange. The planets and stars with groups and system ars definitely fixed with respect to their time, location and its effect, but with comets and meteors, they usually come at intervals or periods, are visible and some invisible each year in the sky and earth. This year the scientists, professors and astronomers have been discussing the 75- year periodical visit of the famous Halleys' comet. While there is nothing unusual about this comet, which has been making its visit regularly now each 75 years since more than 200 years B. C., at this time, it has a tall, visible, extending about 180,000 miles long, which made its coming of great interest. The superstitious use of the iron, they have prepared for use in carved and hollow in Cuba an industrious colored man invented or discovered the Hallery pill, and is getting rich selling these pills. In China they are all wrought up and some refer to the king of Englands death as the result of the comet. WILL WE MISS THE PANIC? There is one problem that is before every man each day, that he has not been able to solve, is the high price of living. Everyone feels the burden as it keeps pressing harder and harder, can this country hope to prosper under these conditions and still those who care responsible for these conditions are saying to us stand by the administration, be regular. This is not the first time that lead has had to lead in the wrong way, the party came into power in 1858 and they should hold themselves responsible for almost all the law an the statute books. Since 1858 they have been in absolute control of congress eighteen times, while the democrats have had control of the lower house eight times and only once did they control both branches of congress, but with such a bare majority that they could not get together on any needed legislation. We should remember when lead had 1873 high points to stop and think where Aldrich, Cannon and those who are following them are longing to lead us and if we send back many of the same representatives that compose the lower house, how far will we be from a financial panic like the one that cost our party the control of the lower house in 74, 76, 82, 84, 86, 90 and 92. It does that senator Aldrich and speaker Cannon have been dictating the policy of the party and you are not a regular and will be gefragt. We are fully persuaded that if each does their duty, confidence will be restored and we will b in good condition for the coming presidential election. A.

Leeches are enumerated by the bureau of statistics under its general head of animals imported, the total value of the imports of this species in 1908 having been $5,341; in 1907, $8,922; in 1906, $4,494; in 1905, $3,862; in 1904, $3,589; in 1903, $3,240, and in 1902, $2,412—the commerce in leeches being thus of a growing character. The total number of leeches imported in the United States in the decade ending with 1908, is about $40,000. Leeches are imported free of duty. Snails were at one time enumerated as an article of importation, the records from 1894 to 1898 showing snails imported to the extent of about $5,000, but the small trade so dwindled, showing only $24 of imports in 1908, that the bureau discontinued its statements of this article. Benefit in Outdoor Schools Speaking before the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis recently, Dr. Henry Farnum Stoll of Hartford, Conn., said: "Every city should have one or more outdoor school." He recommended such institutions for all delicate, so-called scrofulous or anaemic children, and those with tuberculosis of the bones, who are now in ordinary schools. Doctor Stoll declared that twenty or forty per cent. of school children in large cities are infected with tuberculosis. By the use of tuberculin, it was ascertained that 79 per cent. of the children from tuberculous homes were infected as against only 26 per cent. of those from supposedly healthy homes. It was also found that 50 per cent. of the frail children from healthy homes had the germs of the disease, but that only 13 per cent. of the robust children from similar homes were thus affected.

F. Carroll has issued his Memorial day proclamation. He asks the people of the state to observe the day with fitting ceremonies and to abandon all amusements which will detract from the solemnity of the occasion, His proclamation follows: A PROCLAMATION, During the dark days of 1861-65 when the life of the nation was hang: ing in a balance, thousands of the dest cltizens of our commonwealth went forth to battle {6r the preserva- tion of the unlon, “While many of them returned at the close of that great conflict to take up the honor- able pursuits of the private citizens as well as those of public lfe, hun- dreds left their bodies upon southern dattlefelds or in northern graves, a noble saciifice for thelr country’s cause. Since the war many heroes of the rebellion have come from other states and taken up their homes in our splendid commonwealth which they have helped to shape and to build. A large portion of those who sur vived the war have since been called to the great beyond and their bodies have been laid to rest beneath the sods of our beautiful state. Both by custom and by law the thir tleth day of May has been set aside as a day to be observed in memory of the greatest army of men the world has ever known. No more oppropriate time could have been selected than when nature is breathing forth the sweet perfume of the flowers of early springtime. In memory of the dead and with profound respect for the liv: ing 1, B. F, Carroll, governor of the state of Towa, do earnestly request that Monday, May 20, be again observ. ed as a day of devotional gratitude to those responsible for the preser vation of the union, I respectfully entreat that upon this day the usual pursuits of life and alt amusements that will dertact from the solemnity of the day be abandon- ed and that we turn our thoughts and actions to deeds in harmony with the purpose for which the day is ‘set aside and that we join with the sur- viving members of the Grand Army of the Republic, and all others, in con- Aucting fitting seremonies commem: orative of the deeds of valor and bra- very of the soldiers and of the noble cause for which they fought and that we lay our tribute of respect upon the graves of the departed heroes and at the fect of those whose lives arc yet spared to bless and ennoble our great state. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Iowa. Done at Des Moines this eighteenth day of May, A. D., 1910. B. F.

Des Moines, May 20.—Iowa doctors do not favor increasing the price of thelr services or the adoption of unk form service fees. The Iowa State Medical society turned down a reso- lution recommending that all county associations adopt a uniform scale of service charges, The resolution was presented at the meeting of the house of delegates, the legislative body, and was laid on the table by a big vote, ‘The resolution stated that the cost of practicing had increased two-fold although the service fees had remain- ed the same for twenty-five years. It recommended that each county or ganization adopt uniform fees, the idea being to boost the prices to meet the inerease in cost. Opponents. of the resolution got the floor. They de- clared that conditions should be al lowed to adjust the prices. The appointment of a committee to consider changes in publishing the of- ficial convention reports was also at thorized.

BABY WASTED TO SKELETON “My Uttle son, when about a year and a halt old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physt- clan treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come out on his arms, then on other parts of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician, Still ho grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad that I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mero skeleton, and was hardly able to walk: “My aunt advised me to try Cutt cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I sent to a drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of the Oint- ment and followed directions, At the end of two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since, I can sincerely say that only for Cuticura my child would have died. I used only one cake of Cuticura Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. “I am a nurse and my profession brings me into many different fam- ilies and it 1s always a pleasure for me to tell my story and recommend Caticura Remedies.

Canton, O.—In a boiler explosion at the plant of the American Sheet & Tin Plate company's plant at least seventeen men were killed and a score Injured. Night Superintendent Houston said that he had personal knowledge ot there being 17 dead. George Bream, one of the rescuers, said that he helped carry out 16 dead bodies and belleves that many more are buried tn the debris. Over 100 men were in the mill at the time of the explosion and It is not belleved that more than a dozen escaped Injury, A large number of these are fatally infured, Seven boll: ers, of 1,200 horsepower each, ex ploded simultaneously in an L-shaped addition near the middie of the main mill. All employes connected with that department were blown to atoms, St Is belleved. One body was thrown by the force of the explosion through the side of a home a square and a halt away from the wrecked plant. The body passed throvgh the house and camo out on the other side. It landed on a fenco across the street and knocked it down, ‘Another body was picked up a halt mile away from the scene of the ex plosion. A human hand crashed through the window of the office 75 feet away. The cause of the explo- sion fs unknown, Women and children whose bus: bands and father are supposed to bo among the dead or injured, gathered about the wrecked plant, weeping and wringing thelr hands, Windows are broken in all houses within a radius of a quarter of a mile, ‘The whole section In the victn- ity of the plant is strewn with debris from the mill. ‘The mill ts practically a wreck, the interior beng blown to pleces. ‘The shell of one boiler was blown a dls- ‘tanco of 600 feet north of the plant.

Kansas City, Mo.—After deliberating for three nights and two days the jury which tried Dr. B, Clark Hyde on the charge of polsoning his wife's uncle, Col, Thomas H. Swope, the Kansas City multimillionaire, returned a ver dict Monday finding the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree and sentencing him to prison for life. ‘The physician will be sentenced in open court by Justice Latshaw Thurs- day of Friday. The law allows the defense four days to file a motion for a new trial, “Treat that prisoner the same as any other,” Judge Latshaw said to County Marshal Joo B, Mayes. “Give him few privileges and no luxurtes.” ‘The custom of permitting prisoners to send out for thelr meals will apply in Doctor Hyde's case, but he must sleep in a cell. “T will file a motion for a new trial and then take an appeal in the case,” sald Frank P, Walsh, chief counsel for Doctor Hyde. ‘The verdict came unexpectedly. Every attorney In tho case had given up hope that the jury, which had been out since Friday night, would come to an agreement. When the announcement came that the verdict was ready the news spread rapidly and every inch of space in the courtroom soon’ was occupied. Little time was wasted in reading the verdict. The crowd heard it and at the marshal’s orders arose and left the room without confusion, Judge Latshaw thanked each of the jurors and they hurried home. “a Se ae Y aA aan B ac GAL-VA-NITE comes In rolls ready to be puton.

The most enthusiastic part of the evening was the contest of the two smallest girls in the Sunday school, the prettiest and the neatest; first prize was a one, being little Helen Goodwin; second Elizabeth Steward.

I was more than surprised when she took her hair down to prove to me that is was all her own. I put my scalp in her charge at once and words can never express the wonderful results of her treatment. I have tried so many hair treatments that my hair was in a dreadful condition. Mrs. Perkins' first treatment proved beyond a doubt her knowledge of the care of the scalp.

My appetite failed me. I lost my usual force of vitality. Pepsin preparations and cathartics only made matters worse. I do not know where I should have been today I had I not tried Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. The tablets releive the ill feeling at once, strengthen the digestive functions, purify the stomach liver and blood, helping the system to do its work naturally.—Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birmingham, Ala. These tablets are for sale by all druggists. places it was about an inch. The first treatment stopped it from falling out. It is now 4 1-2 inches long, thick and growing straight. I have had only seven treatments; I can highly recommend Madame Perkins' wonderful treatment as a blessing sent from above to the women of our race. May she live long to bless our race with her wonderful treatments. Yours respectfully, HATTIE L. SNOWDEN, Graduate Nurse, 2117 Welton St. Denver, Col. A PHILADELPHIAN PLEASED. Philadelphia, Pa., May 5, 1908. Having taken scalp treatments from Mrs. T. D. Perkins for four months, I can say that it has been perfectly satisfactory in every way. When I began taking her treatment my hair was very short, harsh and stubborn and broke off close to my scalp in some places. And now it is long and pliable. I recommend to all to take Mrs. Perkins' treatment. I remain. Yours respectfully, ALICE PAGE. HER CLAIM IS BONA FIDE. To Whom it May Concern: This is to certify that I have known Mrs. Perkins for nine years, and can testify that she did have short hair, as she says, until three years ago, when she began treatment on her own hair. In two years she grew it to the lengths illustrated in her picture. She is a reputable citizen and her business reputation in this city and state is a guarantee of straight dealing. C. A. FRANKLIN, Editor Denver Statesman. HUNDREDS OF WOMEN PRAISE HUR Denver, Col., April 22, 1909. To Whom it May Concern: I find it a pleasure to say a word in praise of Madam Perkins, and her remarkable success in scientific scalp treatment. Madam Perkins, for many years a resident of Denver, is an active member of Zion Baptist church, and one of the most favorably known women in our state. The beautiful half of hundreds of women in our city and other parts of the state is a tribute to phenomenal success in her profession. The wonderful growth of her own hair is the most remarkable testimony. I cheerfully recommend her to all ladies who may be interested in the growing and beautifying of the hair. Respectfully, DAVID E. OVER, Pastor Zion Baptist Church. HER HAIR GROWS ONE INCH A MONTH Denver, Col., Aug. 9, 1907. I have used Mrs. Perkins' scalp and hair treatments for seven months and it has given perfect satisfaction. My scalp is free from dandruff and my hair has grown six or seven inches. I highly recommend her to all who have scalp diseases. Yours truly, MRS. MINIE HALL.
