setting forth on his travels In foreign
climes, he was provided with letter OF
Introduction TO certain British consul.
The writer OF the letter enclosed 1t in
one 10 the artist, saying that he would
find the consul a most arrant snob, a

GEORGE WASHING IONS QUEUE.

II Hid Luxuriant suit OF Straight and
Very Dark Hair.
The Father of his Country concealed a
luxuriant suit OF hair beneath his queue
wig. Many now wish the old fashion were
in vogue, to conceal thinned hair or bald
ness. Yet no one need have thfn hair nor
be bald, if he cure the dandruff that causes
both. Dandruff cannot be cured by scour-
ing the scalp, because it is germ disease,
and the germ has to be killed. Newbro's
Herpicide kills the dandruff germ-no
other hair preparation will. "Destroy the
cause, you remove the effect" There's no
cure for dandruff but to kill the germ.
