Now; somebody or other has come,
forward with an explanation of "bald
ness in men. It completely reverses
the old dictum to the effect that bald
ness arises' from too persistent wear
ing of hat or cap. The new theory "is
that It is - the violet ray in the sun
light which kills the hair and causes
it to fall out For our part we be
lieve neither theory, says the Michigan
State Journal. Baldness is a distinc
tion the Creator has served up from
the beginning against this day when
women have taken everything that ap
pertained tq mane his trousers, his
ballot, bis tobacco everything but "hia
bald head. The distinction of the bald
hed is vouchsafed to men as a grand
hailing, sign amongst brothers. We
have not yet come to the view that sci
ence is . everything. We still like to
believe in special dispensations.
