Hair Dyes Forbidden.
All blondes who have decided to be
come brunettes and all brunettes who
have decided upon a golden disguise,
take heed. The monthly drug bulletin
of the New York health department
contains the following warning : "Lead
and silver salts were formerly the
main poisons to be found In hair dyes,
but the walla of the would-be young
under the punishment of Indignant
nature.' who was said to bide "her
lash in the purple bues of a dyed mus
tache.' more particularly the offerings
their pocketbooka, have caused
many of the hair dye manufacturers to
ose a coal tar derivative as the base
of their product. This is known as
pnraphenylenexllamln. It having become
evident that the nse of this substance
In dyes Intended for application to hu
man beads was dangerous, such use
baa been forbidden In this city."
School Ncighborlinesa,
Ip the city of New York. 14 of the
large public schools have been made
Into community centers. Roller-skating
rinks, employment bureaus, social
clubs, reading rooms, lecture hulls and
gymnasiums, are some of the features
of these centers. And all their attrac
tion" arc not for young folks alone.
The mothers have their clubs where
they listen to experts on all subjects of
home interest, and where the, ex
change with each other views on com
mon problems, personal experiences
and friendship. This movement for
neighborlicsss bus become widespread,
and In many cities the new school
- houses are being designed with partic
ular attention to their prospective one
as centers of the community.
Wait a Minute!
An elder sister approached in an In
Cratlatlng way a small girl who. In tin;
breakfast room, was engaged In knit
ting. "Well done, well done!'' she re
marked. "That Is really capital. You
are doing the work so nicely, and so
quietly, and so Industriously "
"Look here," Interrupted the small
girl defiantly. "If It's anything up
stairs at the top of the house, L ful

Is Due Responsibility for Human
Sorrow and Suffering.
Story of Young Man Hidden Undar
Smoking Ledge Points a Moral for
All of Us, Especially In Thasa
Troubled Times.
Have yon read the story? A trapper
amid the snow-hushed bills of western
Massachusetts spied smoke Issuing
from a ledge of rocks In the depths of
a dense forest. He did not know what
to make of It. All sorts of fearsome
notions beset him as be ventured on
attempts to solve the mystery. But
when be had summoned help and they
went In at the opening detected, bear
ing lanterns and all bands armed to
meet whatever might be encountered,
they discovered a lone man bending
over a small Are In the act of roasting
a bit of meat. And they learned from
him that he was living there to escape
the service men are summoned to rea
der In war time !
The mystery f the smoking ledge
would serve somebody well to point
moral or adorn a tale. For most of
life's experiences that puzzle and trou
ble ns mortals are mucbJIke this of
the smoking ledge. We conjure up no
end of dire thoughts about them
about diseases, disasters and especial
ly such distresses as are now come on
the world, when the whole of civilized
life Is like a smoking ledge. We think
of nature as malign, of fateful evil
powers as lying In ambush against ns.
even of God himself as causing things
which confound ns as we go the rounds
of common life. But by and by we dis
cover. In one Instance after another,
that precisely what alarm and puzzle
and trouble ns are really due to some
human aberration from right doing. We
are wrong In thinking that fate or na
ture or God are responsible for Ite
mysteries of suffering and sorrow. The
troth Is that some human being who
has gone wrong Is down under most of
the smoking ledges that mystify ns.
To get this clear In one's mind Is of the
greatest Importance, especially Id times
like these.
This young man hid under the smok
ing ledge told a story vividly signifi
cant. He was there to escape the duty
of all when all that we cherlKh is Im
periled. He confessed that he had
crept ont at night to buy food In a
town miles away be couldn't subsist
without drawing on the common pro
visions for welfare which are now In
Jeopardy. He acknowledged having
been obliged by Illness In bis cave to
go and secretly spend a week lo a ho
tel's comfort be wonld have died like
a wild animal but for such shelter In
the established order he was refusing
to help maintain. He had even tramp
ed far through the snow on a winter
night to peer through a window at bla
sister's family, happy around their
home's bright fireplace bis man's
heart, craven as it was, longed for a
glimpse of those sanctities which
sound-headed men are now going forth
to safeguard. Food, shelter, the realm
of love I These are the primary human
Imperatives, as even the man under
the smoking ledge bears witness. And
these, with many other blessings, are
now put Id peril by ruthless foes, over
seas and here at borne aa truly. Could
anything show the folly and wrong of
falling to defend them more strikingly
than the story of this man under tie
smoking ledge? Boston Herald.

FRED DAWSON'S DRUG STORE
THE STORE OF QUALITY
JOKE WAS ON SALOON MAN
Wet Goods Dealer Found That Bundl
Hs So Obligingly Kept for Cus
tomer Had Its Usee.
Arent the master workmen of tha
wet roods establishments easy marks?
That la what the gentry who live by
their wlta are asking each other. They
know that the proprietor of a wet
goods establishment loses his mental
balance and la completely disarmed
when he Is Invited to have a drink, de
cently two husky-looking Individuals
entered a Forty-second street suds em
porium. One of the party carried an
enormous bundle, which he placed no
the top of the mahogany. They both
called for a drink.
"Well. It la hopeful that my wife
will atop her nagging about the cold
weather and being cold when I carry
this home." said the man who carried
the bundle.
At the end of the bar stood the pro
prietor of the wet goods establishment.
He seemed carious, so the two men In
vited him to have a drink, which waa
accepted. One of them explained that
he had the finest pair of wool blanketa
that waa ever sheared from the backs
of sheep In the package.
"Feel for yourself." he said, as he
unfastened one end of the bundle.
The proprietor felt and acknowl
edged that they were the Simon pure
wool article.
Tm taking them home to my wife,"
said the owner. "She baa been kicking
about being cold."
Then tbey had another round of li
quids. "Well, I mast be on my way," aald
the man, as he picked op the bundle.
"Why don't you leave them here un
til you start for homer Interposed his
companion.
"Good Idea." he said. And turning
to the owner of the cafe be asked If
be could leave the bundle.
"Sure." said the proprietor, "but you
had better write your name on It to
avoid any mistake."
Twelve o'clock came around and the
man hadn't called for hla bondle. "I
can see that fellow getting more h I
when be goes home tonight." said the
proprietor as he turned the key lo the
door.
The next day the owner of the cafe
was tha first on the Job. He took a
survey of the wet goods and then went
to the rear of the store, where the safe
was. Here was a surprise for him
He found the door of his burglar-proof
safe neatly reposing on the pair of
downy blankets, which had been used
to muffle the sound of the explosion.

Worms That Thrive on Ice.
F. E. Matlhes of the United States
geological survey described some
strange worms that abound on the low
er parts of the Mount Itainler glaciers.
Tbey are dark brown, slender am'
about an Inch In length. On favorabli
days in July and August millions am
millions of them may be found wrlth
Ing on the surface of the Ice, evident!
breeding there and feeding on organic
matter blown upon the glacier In the
form of dust. "So essential to their
existence," says Mr. Mattbes. "Is the
chill of the Ice that they enter several
' Inches, and sometimes many feet, be
' low the surface on daya when the sun
la particularly hot, reappearing late
In tha afternoon."
ORGANIZE TO FIGHT
Baboons Make War Very Much
as Do Human Beings.
Ample Proof That Intelligent Beasts
Recognize tha Value of Co-operation
Alio Capable of Slf Sac
rifice In AMIng tha Young.
If we are to credit the testimony on
the subject offered by naturalists, man
Is not the only animal who curries on
hia warfare by means of organized
bands, and calls In the fores of na
ture to assist him. There have been
witnessed In Africa fights thut were
conducted In as orderly a manner aa
If the warriors had been really men.
Instead of only somewhat like them
In form. I. e- baboons.
One naturalist was stoned out of a
pass In a very few minutes by these
creatures, who sprang npon ledges snd
stones, looked down for a few mo
ments on the valley, growling, snarl
ing and screaming, anil then began to
roll down stones with so much vigor
and adroitness that the Intruders took
to flight. The baboons evidently knew
the value of co-operation, for the nat
uralist saw two of them combine their
efforts In order to set a particularly
heavy stone rolling. One monkey,
bent on making the most of bis mis
sile, was seen to carry a stone up a
tree, that he might burl It with great
er force.
Once, while some baboons were
crossing a valley, they were attacked
by dogs. and. aa ta usual during a
march, the females and young were In
the center, the males heading the col
umn and bringing up In the rear. Aa
the dogs rushed upon them the mnlea
turned and faced their enemies, growl
ing, beating the ground with their
hands, and opening their mouths wide,
so as to show their glittering teeth.
They looked so fierce and malignant
that the dogs Arab greyhounds, ac
customed to fight successfully with hy
enas and other beasts of prey shrank
back. By the time they had been en
couraged to renew the attack, the
whole herd had made their way, cover
ed by the rear guard, to the rocks, one
six-months-old monkey excepted.
This little monkey sat on a rock sur
rounded by the dogs: but he waa not
long left In his perilous position. An
old baboon stepped from a cliff near
by, advanced toward the dogs, keep
ing them Id check by threatening ges
tures snd sounds, picked up the baby
monkey, and carried It to a place of
safety on the cliff, while the whole
crowd of baboons watched the act
of heroism and ahouted their battle
cry.
Regimental Pets.
As reglmentnl pels, black cats are
regarded tbe luckiest possession a de
tachment can have, and the arrival of
a stray animal of this color at a gunplt
or dugout In France Is an event of
great Importance. Every one la bound
to be lucky for some hours at least. To
meet a black cat while marching up
to the trenches puts every member of
tbe company In the happiest humor. On
the other hand, a black magpie flying
across the line of march Is a bad omen.
To bear the cuckoo calling before
breakfast Is another bad omen.
Advertising Momentum
Many institutions aspect advertising to perform miracles, to rehabilitate
a depleted list of customers in a few weeks or harvest a golden crop
of dollars. Advertising I not based on wizardry any mors than on
quackery. Its results are cumulative.
There axe no mlraclas in advertising, but money ao Invested, at invested
properly and tha opportunities thus crested property followed, will yield
handsome returns.

One of the minor ami yet exceeding
ly Important articles entering into the
construction of a wooden ship Is the
"knee." A ship knee Is a right-angled
wooden brace used to give strength to
the framing and Is fashioned from the
I' natural crook of a In formed by a
heavy, shallow, horizontal riiot and a
section of the trunk. Knees when fln-
lshd art sometimes as much ns six or
seven feet high snd many of them are
four feet high. The tremendous Impe
tus to wooden shipbuilding brought
about by the war has resulted In the
establishment of a sawmill at Port
land. Ore., designed exclusively for the
finishing of ship knees. The timber
preferred Is second-growth Itouglas
fir. found growing In shallow soil, so
that the roots turn off at right angles
to the trunk and thus give the proM-r
shape. A tract of timber that will pro
duce five to seven kuces per acre Is
considered a good location for a ramp.
The standardized wooden ship requires
some two hundred knees of all sizes,
while another tyiie of Modcn ship, also
under construction, miulre more than
one hundred and sixty knees. In addi
tion to the priMluctton of knees by the
lvlnl sawmill at I'ortlaud. various
operator are also getting out knee by
the nld-fushloned method of hsnd hew
ing In the woods. National Lumber
Manufacturers' Association.
Food After the War.
Whatever other blessings peace may
bring It will not bring Instant relief to
the masses who are now distressed by
food shortage and Its natural conse
quences, hlah prices. There will be
as many mouths to feed when the arm
ies are demobilized aa there are now.
It Is true that the fare of the soldiers
In most European countries Is more
1 1 hern 1 thun that of the civil popula
tion, but no statesman will take com
fort In the prosHet of musses of dls
bunded soldiers reduced to the level
of civil undernourishment. And be
sides, the civil Mipulatlons that are
now enduring sctnistarvntlon uncom
plainingly, recognizing that no relief
can be exM-rteil while the energies of
their government are engrossed by
war, will be far less patient when
peace returns. More food, not less,
will be required In pcuce. The New
