SOLICITING ALMS
FOR SUB-NURSERY
Poor Board Will Act Definitely
Wednesday on Colored
Home Appropriation
«>MMBass| What action shall
JJ+J IJI be taken by the
coun |y P° or board
- tainingt the colored
branch of the Day
yTtlTOSiro Seventh street, will
M n be determined at
'tis 1,10 meeting on
Wednesday, when
Solicitor O. G. Wick
ersham's legal opinion on the subject
is considered.
The retiring poor board left a rec
ommendation with the incoming offi
cials suggesting an appropriation of
SBO per month toward the main
tenance of the institution. This was
to include the salary of a nurse of the
Visiting Nurse Association. The board
questioned whether tt could permit the
appropriation because the branch
nursery was not an incorporated or
ganization. Solicitor O. G. Wicker
sham submitted an opinion pointing
out the Illegality of the proceeding.
The directors, However; have since
learned that contributions to keep up
the branch home are being solicited.
In pointing out the uselessness of such
practice the poor directors to-day de
clared that the board had not stricken
the appropriation from its list as yet
and that even if tliis was decided upon
because of its illegality the poor board
certainly meant to care for the chil
dren in some way.

the estate of William J. Snyder, for

A POST GRADUATE SCHOOL
FOR YOUNG BANKKRS
"A successful banker Is composed of

lawyer, three-fifths political economist,
and four-fifths gentleman and scholar

may be a pawn-broker or a promoter,
but not a banker."
This is George E. Allen's definition.
Down in Wall Street, one of the larg
est banks in the world is conducting a
post-graduate school in banking, in
which the class has to learn this defini
tion at the outset. The students are
employees of the bank, doing practical
work in the various departments of
the bank from nine to five, and attend
ing classes before and after working
hours. Representatives of twenty odd
colleges and universities are there, in
cluding Bodowin, Chicago, Columbia,
Harvard, Princeton, South Carolina,
Virginia, Yale and others.
These men are receiving their prep
aration to go out to Brazil, the Argen

A SURE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF
There is one sure way to end dan
druff that has never failed. Dandruff
is caused by a little parasite or germ
that burrows underneath the scalp and
feeds on the nutrition that should go
into the scalp and hair. The only way
to kill dandruff is to kill the dandruff
germ. To do this, go to the drug store
and get a small cake of Vacuum, and
dissolve it in a pint of hot water. Then
apply to the scalp as a shampoo. In a
short time your dandruff will dis
appear. For sale by Croll Keller, C.

Embarrassing Hairs
Can Be Quickly Removed
(Beauty Culture)
Hairs can be easily banished from
the skin by this quick, painless
method: mix into a stiff paste sonic
powdered delatone and water, spread
on hairy surface and in 2 or 3 minutes
rub off, wash the skin and it will be
free from hair or blemish. Except
ing in very stubborn growths, one
application is sufficient. To avoid dis
appointment, buy the delatone in an
original package.
