leases, especially tuberculosis, are

tion must be paid to the way in
vhich the disease is spread.
When the disease is present all
cups, glasses, spoons and dishes
should be boiled immediately on be
ing taken from the sick room. Soft
paper, plant bed cloth or clean rags
should be used for towels and hand
kerchiefs, and these should be burn
ed. Every article of clothing and of
bed clothing which is washable
should be boiled. Wheal the patient
is well enough to leave the room all
carpets, rugs, curtains, beds, couches
and other articles which cannot be
washed should be taken from the
house and exposed to the direct rays
cf the sun for three days. The
floors, walls of the room and furni
ture should be scoured with soap and
hot water and the room thoroughly
aired and dried. Fumigation is use
less and unnecessary. Quarantine is
continued for two weeks after the pa
tient is well.

HAIR AND SCALP
NEED DAHjY CARE
Beautiful Hair is Within The Reach
of AH.
If you value the appearance of
your hair you should treat your scalp
as often and well as you brush your
teeth and rub into the scalp pores
twice daily a little Parisian Sage.
This treatment is not a mere "hair
tonic." It is bottled (nourishment
for the "hair roots and it is simply
wonderful what an improvement its
use for even a week will make in the
appearance of anyone's hair. It nev
er injures, is delightfully cool and
pleasant to the scalp and takes out
the dull, lifeless look in the hair,
making it soft, fluffy, glossy aaid
beautiful. Two or three applications
remove every trace of dandruff, and
daily use will prevent its return. J.
G. Hall and the leading druggists ev
erywhere can furnish you with Paris
ian Sage it costs but a trifle. 17-24
Returns from the election in China
show that the proposition to substi
tute the monarchy for the alleged re
public now existing in China, met
with overwhelming favor, according
to dispatches from Pekin; but with
this report comes the statement that
the government has decided no
change will be made this year. The
decision to defer the change was
doubtless due to pressure brought by
Great Britain, Japan, Russia and
France, who feared the possible ef
fect of a change of government in
China at thiis time.
Sufferer From Indigestion Relieved
"Before taking Chamberlain's Tab
lets my husband suffered for several
years from indigestion, causing him
to have pains in the stomach and dis
tress after eating. Chamberlain's Tab
lets relieved him of these spells right
away," writes Mrs. Thomas Cassey,
Geneva, N. Y. Obtainable every
