Securing Your Scalp.

II yonr hair ia 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 burrowiug it's
way 30 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.
aration 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 dandruff germ. 30 80

Chairman of the National Republican
Committee
Senator Wolcott IS a young man. some
what iaunty in appearance. He wore Il
blue sack suit, and white vest. There
WIS elasticity in his step as he bowed
low TO the convention. and there was
something about him which suggested
his mountain home. With Il pleasant
nod of acknowledgment To Chairman
Hanna. he turned and addressed the
convention. in part as fellows:
Since the first party convention in
these United States. there was never one
gathered together under such hopeful and
auSpiciouS circumstances as those which
surround US to-day. United. proud of the
achievements of the past four years, our
country prosperous and happy, with moth
ing to regret and raught to make US
ashamed, with a record spotless and clean.
the republican party stands facing the
dawn. confident that the ticket il shall
present will command public approval
and that in the declaration of its princi-
pies and its purposes, it will voice the
aspirations and hopes of the vast ma
jority of American freemen.
We reed no omen but our country's
cause" yet there is significance in the
fact that the convention is assembled In
this historic and beautiful city. where we
first assumed territorial responsibilities.
when our fathers. a century and o quar-
ter ago, promulgated the immortal DecIa-
ration OF independence.
W stand at the dawn of the new
century. Before it shall have reached its
meridian the youngest here will lave
passed beyond this life or beyond the
sphere of usefulness. New recruits will
step into the ranks as we fail out. Thus
very year thousands OF young men will
for the first time exercise the right of
citizenship and cast their ballots at the
national election. The safety of this re-
public must ever rest in the courage of
young hearts and the viGor of a noble
manhood" Youth is buoyant and hopeful.
No snarling criticism. or gospel of a lit
tie America, or prophecy of despair. will
find response from hearts that beat full
and strong with courage and with faith.

ARMY
HEALTH STATISTICS

Washington, Oct. 19.-The report Of
Surgeon General Sternberg, U. S. A..
states hat the force of the medical de-
partment contains 1872 officers.
A report from the chief surgeon of
the Philippines, dated August 10, 1900,
is given, showing a percentage of S.47
sick for the command, the total
strength of the army in the Philippines
at that time being 6O,554. The sick
We're divided as follows:
Sick in quarters, 1.261; sick in regi-
mental hospitals. Lilo; sick in military
hospitals In department, 1,241; sick in
Manila hospitals, 1,50S; total sick, 5,129.
The surgeon general thinks that in
time of peace, and doing only garrison
duty, the sick rate of the army in the
Philippine islands would be no higher
than 1t ordinarily is in the southern
United States.
As to the cOntroverted subject of in
sanity, Ii report says:
In the army, regulars and volun-
teers, during the calendar years 1898
ana 1879, there was reported on the
month reports of sick and wounded
3i1 cases of insanity and 2O2 of these
cases, or 5S.2 per cent. Were committed
TO the government hospital for the in
sane. One hundred and thirtv-nye
cases, or 66.7 per cent. of the commit
ments, recovered in an average period
of 30 months, thirteen were improved.
six died and forty-eight remained I'M
improved. Ninety-siX of the 3IT cases
were reported on the monthly report
OF troops serving in the Pacific islands,
and t~hirty-two of these, or 1873 per
cent, were sent to the government hos.
pital for the insane. Seventeen cases,
or Dbl per cen of those committed,
recovered in an average period of $40
months, two were improved, two died
and eleven remained not improved"
