LIFE: Flowing Tresses A woman's hair constitutes such an important element of her per- sonal beauty that it always repays her to give it proper attention. It is improper attention—the treat- ment of it with wrong preparations that so often proves fatal to its charm. Pears’ Soap a hair wash, is all that could be desired. While being completely free from anything that could harm the hair, it contains just those in- gredients which easily cleanse the fibres and roots of the hair from all impurities, and in this way aids its natural growth. The hair never looks so lustrous and silky, and is never so fine and soft to the touch as when it has been washed with Pears. It is the wash that keeps the hair healthy, and healthy hair means plenty of it and of beautiful texture. The best, cheapest and most effective hair wash is Pears which imparts the true nat- ural lustre to the tresses. A Hint for Doctors Having always before them the ex- ample of their ecclesiastical brethren, one might suppose that modern mem- bers of the medical profession would be more practical in dealing with the popular rebellion against their claim to divine right to cut up and cure us in the way that best suits them, As in the case of thé church, the affairs of the doctors happen to be more particularly the af- fairs of the people, and since every year the people demonstrate or allege a jar capacity to manage their own af- such special and unlimited com- jons as have from time to time been granted hereditary rulers, priests and physicians are becoming daily more questioned and restricted. Men learned the trick of sclf-govern- ment at about the time they began to sec that cach one was his own best spiritual critic and guide. Governors and bishops raged in vain and predicted the end of the world, just as the doctors do now when we tell them that sanitation, fresh air and wholesome food are better than viviseetion, vaccination and fashionable surgery. We are not going to abolish doctors any more than we abolished gov- ernors and priests. Time and training have taught the doctors many useful things, but since all knowledge is’ nowa- days as universal as the desire to acquire it the doctors must quit trying to fool us and learn that the more frank they are with us the better we shall get on to- gether. Legislatively Expressed “No one can go wrong if he follows the Ten Commandments,” said the sin- cere citizen, “Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum, “ the only trouble about the Ten Comman ments arises from the amendments peo- ple try to tack on to them.” —Washington Star MONKS WIN RIGHT TO CHARTREUSE United States Supreme Court Favors Carthusian Order in Fight to Protect Secret of Its Liqueur. 3y a decision of the United States Supreme Court the Carthusian Monks, who make the celebrated liqueur known as Chartreuse, have won their fight against the Cusenier Company, a New York corporation, to prevent the latter from using the trade-mark and other indicia of the monks’ product in the sale of a similar cordial in this country. The Cusenier Com- pany acts as agent for the French liquidator, Mons. Henri Lecontier, appointed by the French courts to ¢ possession of the prop- erty of the monks in France under the Asso- ciations act of 1901. Following the forcible removal from their monastery, near Voiron, in the Department of Isere, in France, the monks took their liqueur manuiacturing secret with them and set up a factory in Tarragona, in Spain, and there have continued to manufacture the cordial, import- ing from France such herbs as were necded for the purpose. The French liquidator, it is alleged, under- took to make a cordial identical with or closely resembling the monks’ product. In about all substantial details the claims of the monks have been upheld, except that the defendant company has not been held in con- tempt. Justice Hughes wrote the decision. The jurisdiction of the Circuit Court was up- held. It was also set forth that the monks’ non-use of the trade-mark did not. constitute abandonment and that the French law affect- ing it could not have any extra-territorial effect as far as this country was concerned, and that the monks have an exclusive right to the use of the word Chartreuse in the sale of their product in the United States.—New York Herald, June 20, 1911.
