SECURING YOUR CALF.

II YOU hair is brittle and thinning. you

scalp Of the loose scales won't cure dan
drum; because dandruff is nothing but
scales OF scalp being thrown up by a pes
~titerOus 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 un-
less you destroy that germ, and the only
preparation that can do It is the new scien-
tihc discovery. Newbro's Herpicide. In
fact, no other hair preparation claims to
kill the dandruf germ-all of them will
clean the scalp; SOAP and water win do
that. but only Newbro's Herpicide gets at
the root of the trouble and kills the dan

SEEhaD INNOCENT.

On Wednesday last, Senator Paris
presented in the Senate four petit
tions with regard to Kainaliu, in
South Kona, two, asking for an ap-
propriation for the bui ding of a
court house and jail TO bs,located
there, and the other two, to create
it as the county seat OF that portion
OF the Island Of Hawaii, instead OF
either Kailua or Waimes, more
noted and popular places, the form
er, "a seacosst town, and the latter,
an inland and highland one. The
Senaiormight have. done better than
to present these petitions himself,
for he is d large property holder in
the vicinity OF the proposed county
seat, and therefore, party interest
ed. When spoken to by u, he said
that he was not responsible for
them, but on bsing ssnt to him, it
was his dnty to present them. OF
course, hos not the only properly
holder there, but be is
one OF a few OF those having
large ard important holdings.
He also told US that the proposed
locality was inland, and not on the
coast in Kealake kua Bay, although
Kainaliu runs from the sea to the
nountains, If we mistake not. From
our point, we think the presenting
OF these petitions as clumsy business
for the Senator TO do for be Gight
haye gotten another to do the job for
him. Yet it is too late nov to with
draw, tits done alfeady. Better try
something else not SO raw, Senator,
next time You maks an attempt.
