The disposition of the average bald

for the welfare of others, that he neg

Prof. Sabouraud, of Paris, France, ln
nocculated a rabbit with Dandruff germs,
causing it to become totally bald In Ave

ousy, proudly escorted his charming
lit'le bride down the gang plank
and intr >duced the boys to her.
Thinking that he might make an
effor* to elude them, great prepar
ation were made by the boys, but
the wind was taken out of theii
sails by Fr*»d, and there was nothin
let* for them to do but to form a
guard to escort the young people
no to the home of the parents ol

until the little home on State St
