DANpRUFF CAUSED BY A GERM,
A New Discovery That Kills the Germ
and Prevents Raldness

Pretty nearly all the hair prepara-
tons for dandruff have some merit in
allaying itching of the scalp and in
being a fairly good dressing for the
hair, but there is only one that recog-
nlzes what causes dandruff, falling
hair and badness and that destroys
that cause, a little germ-and that Is
Newbro's Herpicide. This germ eats
its way into the scalp, down to the hair
root, where it saps that vitality, caus-
ing dandruff as it digs UP the scalp
into little white scales. Unless it Is
destroyed there's no permanent stop
ping of falling hair and cure of dan
druff and badness. Newbro's Herpi-
eide kills the germ. Destroy the cause,
you remove the effect

DEWEY IN NEW YORK.
Acted as Godfather to the Child of an Old
Friends Daughter.


Friends Daughter.
New York, Nov. 12.-Nothing more
interesting than acting as godfather
to the child of the daughter of an old
friend of his occurred in the life of
Admiral Dewey to-day.
Shortly after breakfast Admiral
Dewey was Joined by his son George
and the two left the Waldorf-Astoria
and took an elevated train for South
Ferry. Few people recognized them
as they walked along, and there was
no such demonstration as occurred on
Friday and Saturday mornings, which
caused the admiral to announce that
he would leave the city unless the en-
thusiasm was controlled.
At South Ferry the admiral and his
son took a ferry boat for Tom.kins-
ville S. I. They reached there shortly
after noon, and went at once to the
residence of Frederick Hartman of st.
George.
Mrs. Hartman Is a daughter of an
old friend of the admiral, and the bap-
tism of her son. Frederick. ir.. was
made something of social event. The
admiral left for New York shortly
after 2 o'clock.
On the way over there were about
200 people on the boat, and when some
one passed around the word that Ad-
miral Dewey was aboard every one
made q rush for his part of the boat.
The admiral did not seem to like it
and some one was Thoughtful enough
to suggest that the admiral did not like
too close friendship, and the crowd
seemed to take the cue. When the boat
reached her slip the people rushed off
ahead OF the admiral and lined the
passageway on both sides as he and
his son passed between the two lines.
Mrs. Dewey and a friend in the after
noon went for drive in Central park
and along Riverside drive.

Boer Forces Are Active in tho vicinity

Cape Town, Nov. 12-The following
telegram, undated, has been received
from Kimberley by dispatch rider via
HopetoWn, Nov 4, morning:
In yesterdays fight the Beers made
their appearance near Carters farm
the enemy replying with rifles. BY mis-
take our fire went down in the valley,
killing a number of the Cape police
and Wounding another. The British
finally retired on the reservoir, where
two guns We're brought up to shell the
Beers. The result is not yet known.
Meanwhile some Beers had occupied
Hampers dam, firing with one gun on
Otto's kopje, but, not getting the range,
they did no damage. It is believed six
Beers were killed in the hrst fight.
The Beers now surround Kimberley
in great numbers and are bent on
lifting cattle and harassing the Brit
ish.
New alarm signals were sounded at
10 o'clock this morning. the enemy hav-
ing been sighted in great numbers and
close to our outposts. They fired on a
patrol under Major Beakman, which
engaged them, but the firing was at
long range. ""-
THE only casualty was the wounding
OF MAJOR AylelL OF the cape ponce.
THE enemy lifted 40 cattle north
east Of the sanitarium, firing eight
shells in the neighborhood of Fesmead's
farm at Kenilworth. They did no dam
age.
The Beers are well mounted and
from the dips in the veldt they appear
and disappear with marvellous rapidity,
bent on lifting cattle. The demon
stration was only a feint to cover an
unsuccessful movement at Kenilworth
after cattle. Their field gun shooting
was poor, all the shells falling short"
