Securing Your Scalp.

If your hair is brittle and thinning,
you have dandruff The merely securing
OF the scalp of loose scales, won't cure
dandruff; because dandruff is nothing
but scales of scalp being thrown up by 3
pestiferous little germ in burrowing it's
way to the root of the hair where it saps
the vitality, causing falling hair and, in
time, badness. Now you can't stop
dandruff, nor falling hair, nor prevent
badness unless you destroy that germ; ;
and the only preparation that can do it
is the new scientific discovery. Newbro's
Herpicide. In fact no other hair prep.
arstion claims to kill the dandruf germ
all of them will clean the scalp; soap
and water will do that, but only Newbro's
Herpicide gets at the root of the trouble
and kills the dapdruff germ. 20 SO

There is class Of alleged oklahoma

across their distorted mental vision
with the promise Of personal sun

plish their selfish ends at the sacrifice
Of party honor and party integrity,
they impute to those who stand up
for Democracy the craven motives by
which they themselves are actuated.

they offer fer sGrrendering the name

myceleism fungla which lives but a
day and dies TO be heard OF no more,
are the strongest IL there be strength
At all In any of them, why the oppo.i.
ton OF every shacle and name TO Re-

the Democratic banner. II, as these
pretended Democrats assert, there is
no difference in the great national
policies advocated by the Democratic
party and those Of the Populist party

Our nation is passing through great
political crisis. Whether our national
policy is TO be one Of territorial expap-
sion, OF whether we arc TO remain loof
from International complications, IS the
supreme question confronting our Con-
gress. The attention of the world is di-
rected toward us. The deliberations Of
our Congress have come 10 be of inter
national importance.
But this consideration affects only
our external welfare. Our domestic
problems are not one bit less import
ant. We have serious questions before
rs that relate only 20 home interests.
Chief among them is the health OF ous
people. Catarrh has already become a
national curse. Its ravages extend from
ocean TO ocean. More than one-half Of
the people arc affected by 1t. 1t has be-
como such serious matter that It has
passed the boundaries OF the medical
profession and become a national ques-
tion. Senators are talking about It;
Congressman are discussing IL. They
are not only considering the extent and
chronic nature of the disease, but the
possibility of finding national remedy
to meet this national calamity.
