John Burns accepted a place in the British cabinet and when occasion res quired donned court dress. But Signor Bissolati, leader of the socialist party in the Italian chamber of deputies, is made of sterner = stuff. Because he would have to wear a uniform on state occasions he refuses to enter the cabinet. The other dB.\« on the royal invita- called on the king and discnssed the political sitha- tion. Whether on his vigit to the pal- ace he wore his everyday suit and a soft c¢ap or the statesman's long dark coat and silk hat, none of his principles as a ‘socialist were violated. Certain kinds of clothes in certain kinds of politics are almost as import- ant as principles. The Italian socialist is a friend of the proletariat and ab- hors the flummery of royalty. Con- vention reguires that he shall believe as devoutly .in'. democratic attire as that the court chamberlain shall insist on gilt and braid as outward em- blems. Each is the slave of a fashion, biit royalty in Italy is an established institution and the socialists merely a, minority party; so Signor Bissolatire- mains outside the cabinet. Still, if he were .léess concerned about clothes he might have accomplished more in ad- vancing the political principles he ad- vocates by taking office as a member of the government.—-New York World. - _Restores color to Gray or‘ Faded hair—Removes Dan “i druff and invigorates the Scalp ~Promotes a luxuriant,’ healthy hair growth—Stops its falling out, * Is not a dye. $1.00 and 50c at Drug Stores irect receiptol price ':91. dealersaame! oo tof price a Sen Newsrk, N-J.

I prescribe your Castoris in my practice be- - cause I have found it to be a thor- oughly reliable remedy for chil- dren’s complaints. Any physician who has raised a family, as I have, will join me in heartiest recom- mendation of Castoria.” Dr. W. F. Wallace, of Bradford, N.
