Amelre, the Queen Mother of Portu

unlike the queers in fairy tales, who
sit all day looking dignified and
bored. She Is always busy. She
makes work for herself, and is happy
at it.
Her majesty is not only a qualified
nurse, but also has a medical degree,
and passed all her examinations with
more than ordinary distinction. She
did woiders in advancing medioal sci

Queen Amelie Is a familiar figure

older generation of today remember
her as a baby at York House, Twick

Amusing Incident Told of Cub
on New York Paper About the
Time of Police Trouble There.
Emmett Corrigan, who plays earn
estly in "The Deep Purpie" at the
Lyric, says the New York Review, is
hero of a Broadway adventure which
is too good to suppress. Taking the
air recently, in company with Wilson
Mizner, author of the play, they met
a certain newspaper man with whom
Mizner was acquainted. The dramat
ist Introduced them, adding to the re
porter: “This Is Mr. Corrigan—you
may have heard of him.”
The newspaper man admitted as
much. He walked along with the oth
ers: apd turned the conversation to
ward police conditions in New York
“Do you really believe the police as
bad as they have been charged with
being?” he asked. •
“Worse,” replied Mr. Corrigan, em
phatically. “I can point out an aver
age of one badger worker to the
Broadway block, and I'll show you a
plain-clothes crook talking confiden
tially with every one we meet.”
The reporter showed deep interest.
“Who is responsible, Judge?” he asked
eagerly.
“If a motorist deliberately runs over
a person, who is responsible, the mS
torist or the wheels?" replied Mr. Cor
rigan, employing a figure of speech.
Warming to his subject, Mr. Garrlgan
then spoke in fluent terms and many
an asterisk of police officialdom, gen
erally and particularly, Mr. Mizner
punctuating the diatribe with an oc
casional nod, of indorsement.
"May I print what you have said,
Judge?” asked the now breathless re
porter.
“With pleasure,” assented Mr. Cor
rigan, and the newspaper man hurried
for a ’phone. Before he reached It
Mizner had caught him and explained
the identity of the forceful critic of
the police. Then the author. rejoined
Corrigan, who hadn’t caught the drift
•of the action.
“That boy thought you were Magis
trate Corrigan," said Mizner. “If he’d
printed what you said he’d have been
tinned.”
“W<l!. well/' mnsed Mr. Corrigan,
“ T rtrle -- <$ whv he Ver-t ralMn— -Tie
‘Judge,’ but I supposed it was on ac

THE MAN WITH A
TOUPEE
j
Might Have Had a Good
Head of Hair
The man who wears a toupee does
not like It. but has the dburage of bis
convictions.
Nature never intended that the top
of the head should be left entirely
without protection. A bald head Is
very susceptible to contraction of colds
and neuralgia. Wearing an artificial
top piece counteracts this tendency,
and, aside from the improvement in
the personal appearance, is amply jus
tified.
How much better it would have
been had the man, now chronically
bald and wear*g a toupee, but realiz
ed earlier in life the approaching dan
ger and devoted a little regular atten
tion to his hair, which would have
saved it.
There is a remedy which will ab
solutely prevent baldness. Loss of
hair in nine cases out of ten Is un
necessary, being due to dandruff and
the germ that causes it. This germ
must be destroyed and the accumu
lations of dandruff checked. Then t'r t
hair will not fall out, but instead will
grow naturally and luxuriantly.
Newbro's lierpicide is the remedy,
regular applications of which will do
this. It has long been known as the
original remedy that kills the dandruff
germ and is absolutely dependable.
So reliable is this prePaartion that
all druggists now sell the one dollar
size bottles of Herpicide with a bind
ing guarantee to refund money If un
satisfactory.
Herpicide applications may always
be obtained at the better barber shops
and hair dressing parlors.
Anyone desiring to try Newbro’s
Herpicide before purchasing a large
bottle will receive a nice sample and
booklet by sending 10c in postage or
silver to The Herpicide Co" Dept. R.,

TEST FARMS 01
THE C. OF 0. IV
Project Will be Started This
Fall Along Line of Road In
Georgia and Alabama.
Savannah, Ga,—Announcement is
made that the agricultural department
of the Central of Georgia will estab
lish about fifteen “Test Farms” along
its line of road in Alabama and Geor
gia. this fall. The object is to pro
vide an opportunity for a practical
test of the farming methods advocated
by the agricultural college in each
state, and to supplement and assist
the work of their extension depart
ments. The plan followed will be
SirriilßT to that of the Oklahoma hoard
sis agriculture. The railway company
will enter into partnership with fif
teen farmers who own land at differ
ent points along the light of way, to
1 farm forty acres of their land in ac
cordance with plans and instructions
which will bo worked out by the agri
cultural college authorities, in an ef
fort to prove how much net money
may be made on a well balanced farm,
properly cultivated under the most ap
proved methods, with Proper rotation
of crops, and with such variety of
same as well produce as nearly as,
possible all the food stuff required on
the farm; while at the same time in
creasing the productiveness and value
of the land instead of robbing it of its
natural fertility.
Trained Men.
The farmers selected to make these
tests will receive the assistance of a
trained agriculturist employed by the
railway's agricultural department to
call upon them twice a month and
advise with them to the carrying
out of the work. On acqpunt of dif
ferent local conditions, it is probable
that the plans for no two of the farms
will be exactly alike. Each farmer
will, therefore, have the benefit of
expert supervision and a plan and in
structions especially adapted to meet
the particular requirements of his
own home farm. In addition, he will
be protected by a guarantee from the
Central Railway to make good any
loss caused through failure of the
methods prescribed, i. e. ( In case the
products'of the farm do not equal In
value the expense for seed, fertilizer,
labor in planting, cultivating, harvest
ing and marketing, and a fair rental
on the -nd, the railway company will
make good the loss up to a certain
amount.
Fair Test.
In order that the test may be fair,
and in consideration of what Is done
for him, the test farmer will be re
quired to agree to use such seed and
fertilizer and in such quantities as
may be prescribed, and to follow
carefully all instructions as to meth
ods of soil preparation, planting, cul
tivating, etc.
Copies of the instructions prepared
for each farm will be furnished to as
many farmers In that locality as de
sire them; an{l though the agricultu
rist can supervise but one farm In
each locality, advance notice will be
given of each of his visits so that
all who are following Instructions can
have an opportunity to meet him ori
his periodical calls at the test farm.
It is the belief of the management
of the Central of Georgia Railway
that the result of these improved
farming methods, if generally adopted
by the farmers adjacent to Its lines,
would be a large Increase In the pros
perity of the farmers, and of the rail
road which serves them; and they
have, therefore, decided upon this test
farm work in the belief that such ac
tual visible demonstrations of the
most modern agricultural methods
wHI hasten the day when the coun
try traversed by the Central of Geor
gia Railway will become wHM its
natural advantages entitle It to he—
one of the most thriving and succes..-
ful agricultural sections of the United
States.

New York.—Thirty-five hundred
suffragettes arose Tuesday morning,
broke fast with tea and toast, polished
their own boots and snapped a large
padloek, self-denial brand, upon their
respective pocketbooks. The cause of
this procedure Is the beginning of
"self-denial week” in New York suf
fragist, circles —Its object, the collec
tion of "denial money for the further
ance of the "cause.”
This week of collective penance has
been long and carefully planned and
the preconcerted snap of the suffra
gist pocketbook will have a well de
fined effect upon that, class of trade
purveying to the wants of women. It
means that during the coming week,
women of the suffragist persuasion
have pledged themselves to do their
own laundry work, abstain from the
absorption of Ice-cream soda, walk in
stead of using cars, eat no candy, stay
in the city during the week-end, clean
their own shoes and gloves, eschew
theatres and moving pictures, avoid
the manicurists, eat twenty cent fneals
and turn the money saved into the
coffers of the cause, to he used in ti 4
many energetic campaigns on sched
ule for the coming campaign.
American suffragettes have long
been in search of methods and means
with which to push their campaign
for equal rights. They have consid
ered every campaign known to the
disciples of equal suffrage throughout
the world, from the battle axe methods
of England t» the docile remonstrance
of Japan, and have come to the con
clusion that each ar’d every one Is
unsulted to the American field. It
therefore behooved them to evolve
something new, and here It Is—a week
of self-denial with the cash saved do
nated toward future campaigns. Bald
campaigns to be conducted with the
methodical precision of a great politi
cal fight.
In order to put the new idea Into
effect, New York, because of Its cen
tral location and the wealth of Its
suffragists, was chosen as the first
city in which to try the new scheme.

The enthuHiuHir) with which the “de
nial” proclamation was received by
the devotees of suffrage at once In
sured its popularity. The city was
spilt up into districts, leaders were
appointed for the divisions made and
each leader was given authority to
cull meetings among her sister suf
frage enthusiasts, to receive pledges
and to distribute propaganda.,
'J’he success of this business-like
way of doing things was at once evi
dent. Thirty-five hundred names were
enrolled, all of them accompanied by
pledges covering abstinence from all
hut the hare necessities of life dur
ing the sacred seven days. Estima
tions of the benefits to be derived from
this abstinence run Into the thous
ands.
In discussing the plan, Its objects
and advantages, Mrs. Margaret C.
Aldrich, head of the New York suf
fragettes in the absence of Mrs. Car
rie Chapman Oat, chairman of the
Woman Suffrage party, said:
“We are undertaking these seven
days of self-denial for two reasons.
The most obvious one Is that we need
a lot of money to push the cause—
not for buying vote* but for legiti
mate campaign expenses, for educat
ing the people to the Importance of
equal rights. The campaign for equal
suffrage must be run on the same
plan as that of any other great politi
cal campaign.
"But even more Important, In a
way, than the amosnt of money to be
collected Is the second motive for the
movement—the effort to Inspire our
women with the duty and the Joy of
self-sacrifice for the great work that
they have undertaken.

Our school buildings are used for
only n few hours each day. They are
closed on holidays and duiln# vaca
tion months. Attention Is beinp called
to the great, facilities at our disposal
of which we are not making as wide
a use as we might. Most of our
buildings are new and have spacious
playgrounds and attractive assembly
halls. Many have roof playgrounds.
The assembly room Is used for soci
ety meetings occasionally, but apart
from this the huge and expensive
plant remains idle and unused except
during the school hours and sessions.
We suggest a deep consideration of
the uses to which the school might be
Put at other hours and other times
for the benefit of the adults as well
/is of the young. We realize, of course
that the important element of expense
must be considered, yet we ought not
to be unmindful of the growing ten

regular period, a recreation, a meeting

In another section attention is called
