Woman With Marr.lously B.antlftd Hall
OlTaa Simple Home Prescription Which
She Used With Most Bamaxkabl. Results.
I was greatly troubled with dandruff and
falling, hair. I tried many advertised hair
preparations and various prescriptions, but
they all signally . failed; many of them
made my hair greasy so It was impossible
to comb it or do It up properly. I think
that many of the things I tried were posi
tively Injurious and from my own exper
ience I cannot too strongly caution you
igalnat using preparations containing wood
slcohol and other poisonous substances. 1
believe they injure the root of the hair.
After my long list of failures I finally
found a simple prescription which I used
with most remarkable resluts and I can
unhesitatingly state that it Is beyond doubt
the most wonderful thing for the hair I
have ever seen. Many of my friends have
also used It and obtained wonderful effects
thereforra It not only Is a powerful stim
ulant to the growth of the hair and for re
storing gray hair to its natural color, but it
ti equally good for removing dandruff, giv
ing the hair life and brilliancy, etc., and
for the purpose of keeping the scalp in
first-class condition. It also makes the
hair much easier to comb and arrange In
nice form. I have a friend who used it
two months and during that time It not
only stopped the falling of his hair and
wonderfully Increased Its growth, but it
practically restored all of his gray hair to
Its natural color. You can obtain the In
gredients for making this wonderful prep
aration from almost any druggist. The
prescription is as follows:
Bay rum, 6 o. ; Menthol crystal, one-
halt drachm; Lavona de Composee, t o. ;
To-Kalon perfume, 1 to I teaspnonfula.
Apply night and morning; rub thor
oughly Into the scalp.
Go to your drugg'sts and ask for tha
eight-ounce bottle containing six ounces of ! tnl weuk

"Nursing la a profession requiring a high
degree of ability and training," said one
of the nurses, "and In view of the re
sponsibility of the duties of the graduate
nurse, It would appear to be essential on
general principles that the qualifications
of the nurse should be determined and
fixed by registration as the qualifications
of the physician, pharmacist or dentist
should be fixed by law'. It would also ap

nurse should be ascertained by a board of
examiners chosen from the nursing profes

the older professions of medicine, phar

nltr Prestige.
To give more prestige to a graduate
nurse and prevent a probationer from pos
ing as a graduate, a bill providing for
registration of all graduito nurses has been
drawn and will be presented to the state
legislature by the Nebraska State Asso

of the family, nor will It apply to any

GRAFT CHARGES ARE RENEWED
Mlsa Bernard of Oklahoma Persists In
Criticism of Prison Man
agement. LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Jan. .-In the
Kansas state prison Investigation today
Miss . Kate Bernard, Oklahoma's superin
tendent of prisons and corrections, resumed
the stand and reiterated her charges of
graft and corruption in the management
of prison affairs. When asked by Senator
Reed as to whether she had made out and
authorized the puhlleation of a statement
making charges that coh! from the prison
mines was misappropriated by the prison
officials and that fresh meat intended for
the prisoners did not reach them, Miss
Bernard refused to unswer.
"Do you mean by your statement that
you Insinuate this thing?" she was asked.
Miss Bernard reiterated that she meant
what her statement said.
Miss Bernaid told the committee that If
they would come to Oklahoma she could
produce witnesses who have testified to
her that coal has been misappropriated,
and that "prison hogs had no hams."
Miss Bernard at length grew wrathy at
Senator Reed's efforts to pin her down and
elicit a direct answer, declared ha was
trying to get her "tangled up."
At this stage General West of the Okla
homa committee "Interfered and Insisted
that the attorney and witness act In a niura
gentlemanly and ladylike manner.
General West told the witness she oould
answer "yes" or "no." She replied she did
nut see how she could answer either way.
"I don't charge anything personally. I
simply reiterate what they have told me."
Miss Bernard was then dismissed from
the stand.
Investigation will close so far as the
Kansas committee Is concerned at 3 o'clock
this afternoon, the Kansas committee hav
ing announced a day or two ago its Inten
tion of remaining only till this afternoon.
Tho Oklahomans were anxious to have tho
Kansas committee go to Oklahoma to col
lect additional evidence.
