I BALD HEADS DUE TO NEGLECT. If Scalp Were Kept Clean, Falling ^ Hair Would Be Bare. "Seven Clues to Baldpate" is the title under which Dr. William P. Cunningham, assistant dermatologist at Harlem Hospital and clinical assist, ant at the New York Skin and Cancer hospital, discusses baldness, its * ~ . , i causes, symptoms, prevention, ana remedies in the current issue of the Medical Record, i Dr. Cunningham refers to the ? "overt baldness of men and the , covert baldness of women," and says that efforts to prevent baldness, or i baldness in spots, that is caused by [ a few diseases is practically hopeless, says the New York Times. But diseases are comparatively ^ rare, he says, and states that the commonest cause of vanishing hair is "quite amenable to proper management/' In the treatment of his subject Dr. Cunningham devotes considerable space to efforts made by . women to hide approaching baldness. L "Woman's crowning glory is her W hair, one of her greatest griefs is to see it go," he says. "So keenly does she feel its slow deletion that she ** > will 6ave and wind and hoard each falling strand, to weave, in that much dreaded day when baldness \ yawns, the cunning false presently ment of a crown. So conscious is she of the need of this that she will even buy the hair of other heads and heap it in profusion on her own. To her the preservation of her hair is something vital and innate. J "Her consort, while bedecked by \ nature with a less lbxuriant growth, , is nevertheless concerned about its P permanence, especially as the years I Z forbode a1 tonsure. He notes with marked anxiety the thinning at the top, and ingeniously manipulates the / more resistant filaments to niae tne i / shining scalp. This artifice is usually futile. No eye is deceived by it except his own. f"This aversion to yielding to the ravages of time is not always prompted by discreditable vanity. |v Bald heads and gray hair are regarded as the evidences of the degenerative changes coming with advancing 1 ? age and associated with a 'slowing up' of bodily activity. Viewed in xthis light, they are a detriment to the seeker for employment. Often* ^ times their significance is utterly misconstrued. The baldness or the grayness may not be due to age, but disease or idiosyncrasy. But, in gen? eral terms, it is admitted that the y : possession of a bald or whitening head is in most of the paths of industry a very undesirable asset. Thus, the preservation of the hair from premature decadence is a mat-! < ; ter of very setious moment, and well . worth our earnest consideration." In discussing the ease with which the commonest cause of baldness I could be removed, Dr: Cunningham' p says that if the scalp* were cleaned I as regularly as the teeth premature [ falling of the hair would be the rarest of complaints. "But the sober truth," he says, "is that with few exceptions attention i |f to the scalp is confined to periodic 1 or episodic washings, with a tendency to aggravate the incipient dispel. ease." The practice of brushing the |- ; scalp briskly with a good stiff imP plement will stimulate the blood and g, nerve supply and prevent the dell velopment of the condition causing H dandruff and falling hair, he says. I-> This is t}ie cause of most baldness. B; It is a disease of the sebaceous glands, which open * into the hair % follicles and secrete an oily sul? U stance, and dandruff results when ? the glands become infected and comife. * mence to exude an inflammatory sub If stance into the follicles to such an W- extent'that it dries into flakes. L Another symptom of the same p. bald pate causing disease is too much f A oil in the hair, instead of the. apt' > pearance of dandruff. This is also due to the fact that the little sebaceous glands are not working properly. The condition is very hard to "cure," the physician says, partly because of the disinclination of patients to pursue a course of treat-' ment that is tedious and for a long time apparently unavailing. I * Dr. Cunningham emphasizes the fact that water should not be used in connection with the frequent PK - * " ? cleansing needed by the scalp when ? dandruff or an oversupply of oil presages a bald pate. "Even for the if removal of accumulated debris it is L. of doubtful utility because of its T propensity to aggravate the demaS ^ /H+te ** he? savs. The Droner means [ t of curing the trouble, he says, is the use of resorcin, a compound composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxy^ gen; sulphur: ammoniated mercury, Mar and bichloride of mercury. Where IP there is excessive oil, alcohol may P be added with advantage to the lor tion. It will be found, the writer pj ft says, that the salves and lotions recommended for the disease are sufficient to keep the s<;alp clean if apF plied properly, without the use of water. j 4 Call on MacV's Drue: Store or W.

It becomes a matter of importance to cotton producers today to know: First?How the cotton crop of 1914 was disposed of. Second?What effect blockades, submarine warfare and foreign demand will have upon the crop of 1915. Recall the condition of affairs in the cotton States September 1, 19 i4. The war had been kindled; its extent was unknown; the finances of two continents were paralyzed; stay laws or decrees had been proclaimed by England, France and Germany; the stock exchanges in England ana America had been closed. The result was. there was no market for cotton, and no one could make a prophecy as to when the markets would be opened. The prices that had prevailed prior to the war were cut in two. There was little change for the better until January 1. The figures cover a period of twelve months, ! we are about to give, though they really are the figures describing the traffic since the first of January; in other words, the cotton business of 1915 has been conducted in eight months instead of twelve. The receipts at the ports for export in 1914 were 10,525,000. In 1915 they were 10,385,000. In 1914 Great Britain took 3,488,000 bales of cotton. This year she took 3,817,000 bales of cotton. France last year took 1,089,000 bales. This year she took 683,000 bales. A# IT 11 T?r\T?n loof V^Q T X HO tUUliJiCUL U1 jju:v/^/c 1UUV .? vv.i took 4,619,000 bales. This year she took 4,059,000 bales. The total exports last year were 9,195,000 bales. This year they are 8,560,000 bales. No prophet could have predicted such a vast trade in cotton during a year of warfare abroad and disturbance of business throughout the world, yet the exports were reduced only half a million bales. The total crop for the year ending July 31, 1915, was 15,067,247 bales, against the previous year, 1914, of 14,884,801 bales, a little over 100,000 more bales of cotton produced in 1915 than in 1914. In 1914 the Northern mills took 2,723,000 bales. In 1915 they took 3,231,000 bales. The Southern mills took about the same each year, 3,125,000 bales in 1914, and 3,165,000 bales in 1915. The American mills, therefore, took half a million bales, in round numbers, more this year than last, and the European mills took half ai lUliilVU It is the use of cotton for the purpose of manufacturing war ammunition that induced Great Britain to put cotton on the contraband list. This does not mean that cotton sent to neutral ports can be seized; it means that cotton destined to Germany qr Austria, warring nations, may be seized; but as undei the blockade everything is seized, this order cannot seriously affect the price of cotton, though speculators have made a desperate effort to in| fltifence the market under pretext that putting cotton on the contraband list meant, a large curtailment ot the European demand. It is now Jo be considered that the reduction in the production of cotton is at least three and possibly four million bales. It is further to be considered that the war has greatly reduced the cotton crop of the East Indies, which was 4,592,000 in 1914 and 3,337,000 in 1915. War has reduced the Egyptian crop from 1,440,000 bales to 1,200,-. 000 bales. It has reduced the Brazilian crop from 388,000 to 240,000 bales. It is not certain that the war will last during the whole of the coming year: there are many persons who believe that hostilities will cease by January 1. Nothing is certain in regard to the war: but it is important, in any event, to consider the possible demand from different nations. The limit tn that, demand is measured by the spindles. The nation with the most spindles will want the most cotton. Germany and Austria have 16.,300,000 spindles; Turkey, none. Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia and Japan, the allied countries having open ports, have about 80 million spindles, or actually 79,525,000 spindles, of which 57 million are in Great Britain. The total number of spindles in the world is 144 millions. Canada has a little short of one million, China has a little over a million, Japan has 2,780,000. In the East Indies there are 6,800,000. There are 19 million in the Northern States of America and 13 million in the Southern States of America. There are 100 million spindles in Europe, 'ractically 32 million in the United States, 10 million in East India, "MUST DESTROY LONDON." German Palters Demand More Air Raids on England. A very decided campaign in favorj of more air raids on England is beI ing carried 011 in the German newspapers, according to the latest copies which have arrived. The leading Berlin journals urge the government j to turn all attention possible to attacks on the British people in their homes and openly declare that nothing less than the destruction of London will satisfy Germany. The leaders of the propaganda call upon the government to send the entire fleet of Zeppelins to the heart of England to create havoc and ruin that cannot soon be forgotten. Perhaps the most fiery and furious demand upon the government in this respect is printed in the Taeglische Rundschau. "Justice, every element of human justice," says this paper, "demands the destruction of London. There is in the whole world no better target for aerial attack than the city of London, that gigantic, complex assemblage of lofty ancient warehouses, with their enormous stores of all descriptions and their inviting situation in narrow and tortuous streets. If only such raids can be repeated again- and again the re suit will be assured." This paper makes the somewhat astounding assertion that France and Russia will share Germany's joy when London is destroyed and England is pierced to the heart. The suffering entailed in such destruction, the paper continues, would not compare for a moment to the misery in invaded' East Prussia, Belgium, the northern departments of France and the Polish provinces. "England, it was," says the paper, "which ignited the conflagration, and England and her capital must not be spared in consequence of that crime. A single ruined East Prussian family is worth a thousandfold the value of the warehouses, the palaces and the London merchants who, when incapable of adding more sovereigns to their money bags, staged and managed a sanguinary war so that they might delve deeper into the gold heaps." The Nueste Nachrichten encourages its readers by asserting that London already has been partly destroyed by the Zeppelin raids and deploring that the remainder is soon to go*. "Our brave air heroes," says this paper, "are not inspired by the blind , hatred or anger, but by a solemn and religious awe at being the chosen instruments of a divine wrath. When they see London breaking up in smoke and fire they will live through a thousand lives of immeasurable joy which all at home must envy. At last the Rmg yearned for punishment will fall on England and its people, liars and hypocrites, for their overflowing measure of sin for ages past." The Deutches Tagezeitung says: "London represents not merely the centre' of commercial and financial life in England, but the credit system of the whole empire and the Anglo-Saxon race throughout the earth. It is this venerable shrine of finance and on such a terrestial sphere that the Germans must sow bombs.*'? London dispatch to New York Sun. Speaking of Watch Bogs. "Now that you've moved out to the suburbs, Jones, you ought to keep a \watch dog." "Nothin' doin'?I had a small watch dog, wound him one night, set him by the grandfather clock in the front hall and went to bed." "Well." "Well, that night a burglar came and the little watch dog was so scared he didn't spring." "Why?" "I guess his main spring was broken."?Florida Times-Union. Japan and China, a million in Canada, as we have said, and in Mexico 763,000. Now, of these 144 million spindles, only 16,300,000 are in Germany arid Austria, or, say, 12 per cent, in the "closed ports" of the world; 88 per cent, in the countries open to American cotton. "Placing cotton on the contraband list" does not mean that it is shut out from any country save Austria and Germany. Manifestly, the effect on the market, whatever it is, cannot be great when we close the markets of the countries having 12 per cent, of the spindles and keep open the markets of the country having 88 per cent, of the spindles.

Catron, Ky.?In an interesting letter from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock writes as follows: "I suffered for four years, with womanly troubles, and during this time, 1 could only sit up for a little ^hile, and could not walk anywhere at all. At times, 1 would have severe pains in my left side. The doctor was called in, and his treatment relieved me for a while, but I was soon confined to my bed again. After that, nothing seemed to do me any good. 1 had gotten so weak I could not stand, and 1 gave up in despair. At last, my husband got me a bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic, and I commenced taking it From the* very first dose, I could tell it was helping me. I can now walk two miles without its tiring me, and am doing my work." If you are all run down from womanly troubles, don't give up in despair. Try Cardui, the woman's tonic.
