DON'T PULL OUT |A Few Applications of a Simple Remedy Will Bring Back The Natural Color. “Pull out onme gray hair and a dozen will take its place” is an old saying, which is, to a great extent, true, if no steps are taken to stop the cause. When gray hairs appear it is a sign that Nature needs assist- ance. 1t is Nature's call for help. Gray hair, dull, lifeless hair, or hair that is falling out, is not necessarily a sign of advancing age, for there are thousands of elderly people with gle streak of gray. When gray hairs come, or when some good, reliable hair-restoring treatment should be resorted to at |once.

L. S. IN THE ADIRONDACKS Stevenson, While Fighting Off Dis. ease There, Seemed Indifferent to the Laws of Health, Robert Louis Stevenson, for so wise a man, seems to have been singularly unaware of, or indifferent to, the laws of health, but that, too, may _have been part of his wisdom. He spent the winter of 1887.in the Adirondacks struggling against the disease which was not to ‘subdue him for seven vears. Helived in a little cottage that was much overheated and from which | all ventilation was carefully excluded. | The smoke of his incessant cigarettes obscured the atmosphere and perhaps helped to drive away the visitors whe came to ‘gaze upon him as one gazes at a llon in a den. IJashionable call- ers were. specially unwelcome and Stevenson once remarked, according { to an account in the Medical Record, that “it isn't the great unwashed which I dread, but the great washed.” But whoever else was unwelcome there was always a greeting for Rich- ard Mansfield, -It is an impressive, al. most a tremendous picture, that of the clouded room fitfully lit by the flames of the log fire and Stevenson huddled close to the warmth while Manstield at the other end of the rooom gave hig weird impersonation of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Every me tropolis—we have more than one—is a mammoth conservatory. Six cities, support symphony orchestras of the! first rank. They are Chicago, St | Louis, Cincinnati, Kansas City, St| Paul, and Minneapolis. A symphony | orchestra, be it known, is the ne plus ! ultra of a music-center. To suppori ! such a luxury is impossible save with the help of many wellto-do John Stones. It is also impossible without a solid foundation of music-lovers— | enough to fill the hall nearly every time.
