For some time it has been the custom at Trin i y College each year to have on Washington's birthday, February 22, a civic celebration. It is intended that rue occasion shall be of service in cul tivating a better citizenship and more patriotic ideas of government. The college is fortunate in securing R. D. W. Conner, secretary of the state his torical commission, to delier the ad dress at the civic celebration. This ad dress last year was delivered by Dr. V. E. Dodd of the University of Chicago. Following the custom of many years standing a series of special religious services will begin at the college Sun day, February 1. The services are un der the auspices , of the Young Men's Christian Association, and will be con ducted by the Rev. H. M. North. Pre sidir.g Elder of the Durham district, fprvices will be held each evening, and also -11 the college exercises will be suspended at 12 o'clock and an hour's service will be held from 12 to 1 o'clock each day. The mid-year examinations are now being held and will continue until Sat urday January 31. The second term will begin Monday, FeDruary 2. Rev. J. A. B.

Much routine business was transact ed and reports from all the officers of the association were received, all of them showing that the association was in fine condition and had had a prosperous year. The annual election of officers re sulted in the choice of the same men as served-last year. They are: Prs ident, Robert Glasgow; vice president, J. A. Durham: recording: secretarv. J.

Rufty; membership secretory; Audria Alexander. The report of General Secretary D. L. Probert follows, covering the year and showing in some detail the good condition of the association: Mr. Probe rt's Report. To the Board of Directors of the Young Men's Christian Association. "Gentlemen: The work of the as sociation year just closed, has been of marked activity and efficiency in every department, and the directors, officers, committeemen and members of the association in general , should feel encouraged to do larger and bet ter things in the coming year because of the success of the past. A fact that promises well for the year just be fore us is that, so far as is now Renown, there will be no change in the force of employed officers, and but one I change in the personnel of the board oi airectors. xne general secretary wishes to thank the members of the board for valuable advice and co-operation in every activity attempted, and also to thank many men and boys for loyal and efficient service during membership and missionary cam paigns, as well as other interests. Religious. In a report of - the work done for midst, is proving to be bur record work in this line. In addition to the boys' and men's school. in. the. build ing enrolling 86, there are three su burban schools, North Charlotte, total enrollment 76; Atherton Mill village, enrollment 47; South Myers street, (colored school,) enrollment 150, or a total of 359, which is by far the largest enrollment yet attained by us. We are now in the midst of a third consecutive season's work at Atherton, second season at North Charlotte, and first season of the-work among colored people. So large an en rollment has been secured in this school, that three teachers had to be engaged. A strong factor in the suc cess of these schools is that of hearty co-operation of the board of school commissioners, who agree to pay one half of the expenses incurred, at points where they approve of the op ening of schools. Six teachers are en gaged in these suburban schools, and each school meets three times a week. "An addition in the educational line is the giving of 50 educational lec tures during the year, in the. building and at suburban schools, attended by 3,9061 . "Following are some of the sub jects of educational lectures delivered under the auspices of the association in the building, and at suburban points during the year, showing the great diversity of educational instruc tion in addition to . the regular branches taught, many of the lectures being given several times: Palestine, Gibson Woolley FOR MEN WHO KNOW. 0 3C cers and committeemen, notable among these being one from Mr. George L.

These men in their official capacity, stamped with appro val, work that they had the opportun ity of watchin, and were supporting. Many, approving of the work, are not mentioned as they are not especially concerned financially, and their com mendation does not mean quite so much as those referred to, who are, or have been, custodians of city and corporation funds.

"A new departure in the line of Bible study is the organization of a Bible class at the Atherton mill vil lage, which, under the leadership and instruction of Mr. A; M. Craig, is proving successful. A series of, ad dresses and events in connection with the visit to Charlotte of Rev. Dr. C, A. Barbour, of the Religious Work De partment of the International Commit tee, should not be lightly passed over. His coming was the occasion of a num ber of addresses that are destined to leave their mark on the religious life of the association. This I think, was notably so in the splendid meeting held at the Piedmont, and at the meet ing for workers of the association, at which time he went thoroughly into detail, the aims, objects and methods of promotion of the religious work of the association. ( - "The visit of Rev. Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer, was also one of importance. Under the leadership of instruction of Doctor Chafer eight' days were giv en to the advanced study of the Bible, Doctor Chafer proving himself a veri table master in Scripture teaching. Speakers.

The vear was especially marked by the visit of Rev. Charles Luther Boyn- tcn, who has been tne representative of this association on the force of the National Young Men s Christian As sociation committee at Shanghai, Chi na. Mr. Boynton expressed himself as delighted with the loyalty and strong work of the local missionary committee and contributors to the missionTund, and stated that he. was proud to represent this association for so many years. On his return, he will again represent this associa tion,, it is hoped, for the second full period of seven years. "The year's work of the missionary committee was also marked by the visits of Dev. Dr. Painter of the Pres byterian Church. Mr. Arthur Rugh nf China, and M. W Bowe of Brazil, the last two being secretaries of the International Committee, at . nome on furlough. During the visit of these p-ATitlemen. a missionary : campaign was promoted by the committee, which , i x? a f on . i resulted in tne secunug vl oo m pledges to the work for the year. , taucaxionai. partment. Mr. Faul will report more in detail the work done under his leadership, which will show that 620 class sessions were held during the year, which is "50 sessions in excess of the report .of the previous year, the to tal number using the department pnvi leges during the year was 83,338. Boys' Work. "Mr. A. C. Sheldon, who for several years has had charge of the work (in the boys' department, is still with us and will make a separate and lull report "of the work of his department.

"During the spring an aggressive membership campaign was promoted in competition with 14 other South ern cities, of the larger size. While the Charlotte association did not win the cup, it did attain, however, a new high record for membership 1,106. "The annual booklet was again is sued, and thanks to a number of ad vertisers, the cost to the association was very slight 'Special contributions of $3 were secured from a number of con tributors and members of the associa tion, which has, enabled the association to purchase a new set of hymn books for use at the men's meetings at the building, and also to procure two ad ditional phonographs, one for the se nior department parlors, and for the boys' department.

The income from the dormitories reached a higher figure than ever before and ' amount ed to $7,684.29, and the current fund of the association also made a new high record of $9,749.95, or a grand total income to the association in these two departments of $17,434.24. Every source of income increased with the single exception of contributions, showing that the men and. boys avail ing themselves of membership privi leges, appreciated the association to a much greater degree than the men of money and position in the city.

I was tormented by itching and my hair began to come out by the combfuls. I almost be came frantic, fearful that I would lose all of my hair which was my pride. There were some pimples on my scalp and I scratched them until they made sores. My hair was dry and lifeless. I was bothered about four months and had tried various kinds of preparations which seemed to only make it worse. I caw the advertise ment of Cuticura Soap and Ointment and tent to my druggist for three cakes of Cuti cura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. I washed my. scalp with warm water strong with the Cuticura Soap and dried, after wards applying the Cuticura ' Ointment,' working it in the scalp slowly with my fingers. After using them for several days my hair began to stop coming out. The dandruff all disappeared and In less than four weeks a cure was accomplished per manently."
