SHAMPOOING
The frequency of shampooing must
bo regulated by the character of the
hair and tho sort of atmosphere to
which It is exposed, which varies,
naturally,, according to occupation
and Btnto of the weather. When the
frolic wind Is blowing at sixty miles
an hour and in one fell swoop hurls
your allotted peck of dirt upon your
head, the resulting condition Is such
as would not be imralleled in an or
dinary month of living.
In every case where there Is a
tendency to baldness and great loss
of hair, shampooing should be omit
ted except when cleanliness abso
lutely demands It, for you deprive It
of its natural oil and fairly wash the
life away. Tho experience of men In
this respect ought to be an object
lesson to women, for the conveni
ence of their short hair has made
them always ready victims of the
shamvoo habit; which, together with
their other baleful habit of keeping
their hats on, accounts for the very
high average of early cases of bald
ness and thin hair among men In
civilized life.
There Is no better shampoo for the
hair than an egg, well beaten, with
about an ounce of water, and rubbed
thoroughly Into the scalp. It Is not
merely a detergent, cleansing for the
scalp and hair of the dirt, but Is a
tonic in Us effect and strengthens the
scalp. Tho yolk contains natural
food for the hair, iron and sulphur,
while the white; being a mild alkali,
finds Its congenial mate In the oil
from tho sebaceous glands, and they
mingle in a' saponaceous lather. It
should pe thoroughly massaged Into
tho scalp with a rotary motion, be
ginning In front over the forehead
and going back to the crown, then
forward to the temples and back and
forth till the fingers of the two hands
meet at the nape of tho neck.
It should not be a harsh motion,
nor pull the hair In the least. The
palmer surfaces of the nail phalanges
of tho fingers must press the scalp
firmly but gently, so that you will
feel It move under them. This mas
sage restores elasticity and tone to
the scalp and stimulates both It and
the hair follicles remarkably.
The hair must be thoroughly rins
ed, first In warm water, then, If pre
ferred, In cold, to secure reaction. If
for this tho head can be held under
running water or sprayed with a
douche, so much tho better. Of
courso, long hair must bo gathered up
lu loose locks or braids and well lath
ered and rubbed between the palms
before the rinsing begins. Wipe tho
hair as dry as possible' In warm tow
els. In warm weather It Is a simple
operation to finish the task in the
open air and sunlight, hut In winter
it Is often necessary to hold tho head
in a current of warm air and to fan
it In drdor to facilitate tho drying.
Finish tho operation with a dry
massage and when every particle of
moisture, has evaporated, If the tend
ency of tho scalp Is to dryness, rub
lit a little olive oil' or any simple
pomatum of whoso purity and fresh
ness there Is not tho slightest sus
picion. Exceeding nicety must be
observed concerning this matter, for
rancid oil acts as a corrosive irritant
and will Itself cause excesslvo dan
druff. Its continued use will Induce
serious scalp diseases,

papillae and will therefore encourage

TOR A SQUArlt DIAL
ONE of the most important measures to Mcdford and
in fact, every interior town in Oregon, is the initiative
bill submitted bv tho Medford Traffic bureau and other
traffic associations providing uniform freight rates.
This measure will end railroad discrimination in favor
of Portland against the small town. It will enable the
country shipper to transport his freight to the eity as
cheaply as the city jobber ships his to the eonntry.
Whatever relief, and it is considerable, that southern
Oregon has secured in railroad freight rates, has been duo
to the suits brought by the Medford Trail ic bureau. As a
result, shipments can now be made from Portland at an
average of 110 per cent less than three years ago, and from
California points fully 20 per cent less.
This initiative measure is needed to insure oouality,
and eliminate special favors granted the metropolis, ft
provides in addition to a uniform relationship of one class
to another class, and ermal rates for equal distances, mini
mum weights and maximum freights, so that the shipper
of a large ear gets a better rate than the shipper of a
minimum car. The bill prevides:
Section 1. The classification ratings of freight shall hear n uniform
relationship of ono class to another
class shall be 100, and tho other classes shall bo the following percentages
of tho first class:
Classes 1334RABCDK
Percentages 100 84 70 . G9 B0 42 3I 29 24 20
The measure appeal's upon the ballot in the following
ferm:
PROPOSKD BY INITIATIVE PETITION
A hill for an Act fixing tho percentage that freight rates
on less than car load lots Rlinll boar to car loads nnd to
establish minimum weights nnd maximum freights and
providing penalties for violations of tho Act, Vote YES or NO.
3SS. -X Yes.
350. No.
Every believer in a square deal will vote for this bill
and give the interior town a chance.
X-Ray Registration
WASHINGTON, September 27.
X-Itay registration of the growth of
school children was a unique reform
advocated today before tho Interna
tional Congress of Hygiene and Demo
graphy By Prof. Thomas N. Rotcb,
of Boston.
"To get the best results In tho
grading of mental and physical con
ditions of the individual, we should
study them physiologically," said
the Harvard professor. "Develop
ment of children may now be deter
mined automatically. The bony
structure of the body progresses
with comparative regularity, tho de
velopment of the wrists being a fair
test of the entire framework. Wo
should take X-ray pictures of tho
wrists of children to determine their
physical fitness both for school and
labor. Efforts of parents to put
their immature children at work is
pernicious, and falsification of their
age may be determined scientifically."
A new state or national commis
sion to have authority over every
child was urged by Dr. Charles G.
Kerley, of New York.
To Protect Children
"The states spend millions of dol
lars for the segregation df Its crimi
nals, drunkards, paupers and degen
erates," said Dr. Kerley. "Why
should they not spend ri few thous
ands for preventltlvo work? It Is
only by such a commission that wo
will ever solve the urgent problems
of prophylaxlve against crime, degen
eracy and general worthlcssness of
the Individual. Heredity has little
fnfluenco in determining character,
which is the product of environment.
We may mold a child largely at will;
whethor it bo done well or indiffer
ently or badly depends more upon the
molder and the child's associations
than upon the material worked
upon."
Educating Itabk's
"Tho dread scourgo 6f rabies
could bo easily eradicated from the
whole continent of North America,"
said Prof. Henry Albert of the Stato
University of Iowa. Albert present
ed statistics showing that In the U,

New Rifle Sighting System
Military authorities nnd big game
hunterx are much interested in a new
rifle sighting system Unit is designed
to eliminate the necessity for estim
uting distances and mljiiHting Mfibtri
in long-range hhooting.
Of the Itcmingion negative angle
system, uu the invention is culled,
Sir George Grccuhill, a noted English
bullisticnl expert, said in n recent
lucture: "Tho new Hysteut proves
that since tne origin of firearms our
method of flighting in active scrvico
rifle firing Iiuh been wrong. The in
vention id likely to bring about a
revolution in the art of hhooting."
In brief, the (system utilizes the
well-known fact that the apparent
size of an object decreases n the
distance increases, The user of tho
negative angle sight is instructed to

object under if. If tho arm wer6 un

Altogether there ara nearly 18,000

ing that In the United States prac
tically all of tho' rabtcs Is confined
to tho states cast of the Mississippi
river. .In the year 1911 New York
had tho 'distinction' of leading all
the other states In the number of
persons bitten, with a total of 699.
"Great Britain, Norway, Sweden
and Denmark havo succeeded In com
pletely eradicating rabies from their
boundaries." said Albert. "It the
examples offered by theso countries
wero followed the world over rabies
as a disease would soon lose Its ter
rors boUi for the human kind and
the nntmal kind."
Heat Stroke Rare
"Heat stroke" Is getting to be a
rare thing in the U. S. Navy on ac
count of the advances In hygienic ac
complishments, according to Surgeon
Charles H. Fiske, U. S. N.
"Statistics havo been compiled,"
said Surgeon Fiske, "which show that
only 20 deaths and 32 invalldlngs
from tho service on account of heat
stroke have been recorded dnrlng the
past 3G years. The damage curve

Is of comparatively little Importance
to the service as a whole.
"The lessons of tho famous White
Squadron, and all of the earlier
classes of steam propelled cruisers
and gunboats Included, lessons In
sanitation and noticeably In ventila
tion, have been used profitably In the
designing and equipment in all but
the earlier class of battleships and
armored cruisers. The factor of heat
stroke in the navy has assumed rela
tively a rather low figure during the
last two years. Naval hygionists who
have agitated changes in construc
tion, arrangement and ventilation of
ships will represent that the Serv
ice has largely solved the problem
while other officers will with perhaps
equally good reasons 'maintain that
the defect has solved Itself on ac
count of smaller hollers and more
economical leads of steam pipe, and

THE AVERAGE MAN
When it comes to a question of trust
ing Yourself to the risks or the road,
When tho thing Is the sharing of bur
dens, Tho lifting the heft of a load.
In the hour or peril and trial,
In the hour you meet ns you can.
You may safely depend on tho wis
dom Ank skill or the average man.
'TIs tho averago man, nnd no other.
Who does his plain duty each day,
The small thing his wage Is for doing.
On tho commonplace bit of tho way.
'TIs the average man,' may Gbd bless
him,
Who pilots us still in the van,
Over land, over sea, as wo travel,
Just the plain, hardy average man.
So, on through tho days of existence,
All mingling In shadow and shlno,
Wo may count on the ovory-day hero,
Whom haply tho Bods may devlne,
But who bears the swart grlnio of his
calling,
And labors and earns as ho can,
And stands at tho lost with tho
nobfest,
The commonplace, averago man.
