Col HIS HAIR BACH.
Was Perfectly Bald When lie Started to
Use kewbro's Herpicide.

Frederick Manuel, Maryland block,
Butte, Montana, bought "A bottle OF
Newbro's Herpicide April 6, 80, and
began to use 1t for entire badness.
In 20 days, he says, he had hair all
over his head. and on July he writes:
"And today my hair Is as thick and
luxuriant as anyone could wish"
Newbro's Herpicide works on an
old principle and with a new discov-
ery-destroy the cause and you re-
move the effect. Herpicide destroys
the germ thatcauses dandruif, falling
hair and finally badness, SO that
with the cause gone the effect cannot
remain. Stops falling hair at once
and starts the new growth In u week.

Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con.
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low spirits.
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved our blood
is poor; there is little nutri.
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
it fails, take SCOTS Emulsion
of Cod Liver Oil. 1t sets the
whole body going again-man
woman and child.
II you have not tried II, send for free sample
It's agreeable taste will surprise you.

TOOK HIM LITERALLY.
That WA Why His Signature Was
Rejected Mt the Bank.

Rejected Mt the Bank.
Bank clerks are SO often called upon
for directions that they sometimes fall
into the habit Of giving them In a hur-
ried and mechanical manner, conse-
quently they are frequently misunder-
stood" remarked the clerk of a saw
ings institution to a reporter the other
day. For instance, the usual formula
when a stranger is called upon to sign
his name Is. Sign here; pen and ink at
your left hand One morning last week
q stranger entered our bank and asked
ms for q certificate of deposit for a con-
siderable sum Of money which he hand
ed over. / counted the money and found
the amount to be as stated and hurried
ly said. Sign there. sir: pen and ink at
your left hand
SWELL, II took the stranger n long
time to sign his name. but I thought
nothing more of 1t and issued the GER
tificate Of deposit. About a week later
the same man, whose face l had for
gotten, reappeared and presented the
certificate. He dashed of an ornate
signature. which l proceeded to CON-
pare with the first signature. The two
were vastly different. as the first one
was apparently the labored effort Of an
old man. q
81 can't pay you this money, SIR
said.
"'Why not?' asked the astonished
stranger.
because, it is not the signature Of
the man to whom l issued the certif-
cate Of deposit l replied.
"'Well,' said the stranger, when I
was here a week ago you told me to
write my name with my left hand, and
I did so, but 1 can't write very well
that way
"'Then will you oblige me by writ
ing your name with your left hand
again. l asked as a light dawned upon
me.
Certainly said the man. and after
much labor he produced q facsimile of
his first signature, and l apologized
and paid him his m~oney."-Washington

CONNECTIONS FROM GRAIN.
Wheat and Malt Used In the Manu-
faclure of Candy.


A manufacturing plant in New Jer-
sey, formerly used as a MANILA paper
mill. is now operated by a corporation
engaged in the unique industry Of max
ing CONNECTIONS from wheat and malt,
about the last materials in the world
one would expect to find in candy.
In the earlier stages of the process
the grain is famed, ground and mixed
In proper proportions. Then it is cook
ed to a mash, from which a thin strip
Is squeezed by hydraulic presses and
conducted to a great iron evaporation.
Thence the sirup is carried In pipes to
a acuum pan. Here 1t Is vigorously
stirred and further evaporated. The
thickened strip is drawn off into huge,
shallow tin pans, where 1t Is cooled
and hardened. Plain or favored with
peppermint, the mass is a rich golden
brown in color. Combined with choco-
late it Is dark as the familiar caramel
In the candy shops.
When a batch of goods is needed for
the market, the STOCK In lne pans ID
broken into pieces and put into a boiler
surrounded by a steam jacket. 1t is
reduced by heat to the consistency Of
taffy ut an old fashioned candy pull.
Skilled workmen shape the mass into
long strips that lie like golden snakes
on a board table.
They are fed to a cutting machine, a
noisy little monster with an Unsuitable
appetite for sweets. You could almost
cover the machine with a hat, yet It
turns out malt creamlets nearly as fast
as a Maxim gun hurls a storm of bull
let's. The boys who carry the cream
let's from the machine to the tables
where they are wrapped have little
time for Observation-Disclosures Her

Il0EBtNGER IN THE BUTTE JAIL.
thought II was Bed Time and Undressed
Himself.

Escorting a crazy mar from a COW
country to the state insane asylum
at Warm Springs Is frequently some
thing different than straying down a
path OF roses with the girl of your
choice. Jailer Ritch of Lewistown,
Ferguscounty, who has a crazy sheep
herder In the county jail temporarily,
has found that out.
Ritch Is taking his man. whose
name is Frank %Loebenger, to the state
institutiOnfor theinsane. He arrived
In Butte today, and Under Sheriff
McGuigan lodged the man who has
wheels In the jail, while the iailer
went to a hotel to get some much
needed rest. At 8 o'clock tomorrow
morning the weary officer and the
demented former custodian of woolly
beasts will proceed on their way to
Warm Springs.
Officer Ritch had to stage for GO
miles with his prisoner yesterday,
and the latter fought him all day.
To-day the sheep-herder, while com.
ing In on the train. was different.
He was no pleasant that he insisted
upon joining in every conversation
that took place anywhere within
range OF him. He smiled and chat
tered like an old housewife.
Today, however, he was not fixed
just right to fight. His keeper had
been soured a little by the fracases
on the stage, and he had him hand
cuffed and chained TO the seat ant
his arms strapped to his waist. Fol
that reason there was little room fol
Loebenger to do anything but b.
pleasant.
Loebenger was put in tn" isolated
cell In the jail here called the "b0x
car" The boxcar IL shaped like
box, and the ex-tender Of ewes ant
lambs pulled his clothes off RICH
away and fired them out OF The Gel
through the space under the door
Then he retired to one corner OF tn
box and huddled down In a bunch.
The day was not very warm ant
the iron floor Of the cell was chill,
looking, and somebody peekins
through the iron lattice. said To tn
crazy MAJ facetiously, 'Is 1t no
enough for you?" But the remarl
never touched him. BY and by tn
TALLER asked him why he did not pu
his clothes on, md he replied that Ia
was going to bed.
The ialler said, mo, no, no; sta.
up. Put your clothes on and be
man."
Aud when the man learned tina
everybody intended to stay up for
while he doDned his clothes again
lie had simply been under the mis-
taken impression that II WAS be

HOME ENTERPRISE
LIFE OF A Town.

The Las Vegas Optic hits the
bulls-eye in the following article
on the subject of public enterprise
and the article is particularly APP
plicable to present conditions in
White Oaks. Public enterprise
is almost entirely overlooked here
in headlong race for personal
gain, and petty jelousies and mi
nor differences are the rule rather
than the exception from business
circles to church government. A
change must come over us, else
we must be our own exeCutiOnerS.
It is time to silence the croakerS
and export the knockers. Let
every man, woman and child do
or say something or better, both do
and say something, for the good of
the town and community this year
instead of holding to the old mar
row guage theory of how much is
there in it for Me. It is the
opinion of the EAGLE that a good
way to atone for our lack of pub
lie spirit in the past, would be to
stand by and literally aid and
encourage financially and other
wise the local company now try
ing bring water into the city. All
want water-wOrkS and recognize
the good water would accomplish,
and now the opportunity for every
man to show just how much he is
interested in the future of his own
town is wide open.
The Optic as we said at the be-
ginning, is alive to the necessity
of home enterprise to the prosper
ity Of a town and discourSes as fol-
lows:
Public enterprise is an essen
tial requisite for any town that
aspirtS to keep pace with the prog
