A WOMAN TO BE PRETTY.
Must Have LuXurant and Glossy Hair
No Matter What Color.

The finest contour of a female face.
the sweetest smile Of a female mouth,
loses something if the head is crowned
with scant hair. Scant and falling hair,
it is now known, is caused by a para
site that burrows into the scalp to the
root of the hair, where it saps the vital
ity. The little white scales the germ
throws up in %burrowing are called dan
druff. To cure dandruff permanently,
then, and to stop falling hair, that
germ must be killed. Newbro's Her
picide, an entirely new result of the
chemical laboratory, destroys the dam
druNf germ, and, of course stops the
falling hair, and cures badness. When
you kill the germ you can't have the
dandruff on thin hair. Destroy the.
cause, you remove the effect.

some 80 summers.
OF ladies who, as spinsters, married
mep mach younger than themselves
there are one or two notable examples.
Perhaps the most remarkable Is that
OF the ''angel of goodness Baroness
Burdett -Coutts. Her ladyship was
born In the year 1914 and is conse-
quently now of the age OF Sc. She did
not marry until she had reached her
sixty seventh year, when she accepted
the hand and heart of William Ash
head Bartlett, DOW NJ. Z. for West
minister
This gentleman was at that time only
30 years OF age, and instead of giving
his wife his name, as nearly every
man does when he marries, he assum-

one OF the few women in England
who are peeresses In their own right.
This rare honor was bestowed on her
In 1871 and never did it have a more
worthy recipient.

Autumn millinery will be rich in the

roll up to reveal lunches of ostrich tips

tel shades that were so popular last
