NOT HEREDITARY.
badness Due to a Living Minute Germ

Many people, even unto the present
day of grace, consider badness due
to hereditary influence.
Nothing is further from the truth.
Badness is caused by the onslaught
of minute organism which secretes
itself beneath the scalp and attacks
the roots of the hair, causing it to
lose its life and fall out
This organism cannot be got rid of
except by the free and persevering
use of Newbro's Herpicide.
No matter how badly the scalp is
affected, the dandruff surely disaP-
pears and hair health is restored when
Herpicide is applied.
Destroy the cause, you remove the
effect

JEWISH NEW YEAR
Will Begin at Shutdown Today
and be Observed With
Religious Services.
1904 IN TIE MOSAIC CALENDAR
Celebration Continues Ten Days
Ending With Feast OF
Yom Kippur.

The Jewish New Year, Rosh Ha-
shonah, will begin at sundown today
and will be observed during Tuesday.
1t will be New Year 1864 in the Mosaic
calendar and church services will be
held, while the day will also be OBJ
served in the homes with certain re-
| ligious rites.
Today is the last day of the month
ElloOl, and Tuesday is the first day of
the year Tishei. The strictly relig-
ious Jews began on the first day of
September by plunging themselves
into cold water every morning before
breakfast and confessing themselves.
New Years day they are supposed to
say all their prayers and begin sea-
son of fasting. They will continue to
do penance- and fast to a certain ex-
tent until Oct. 1, when they will fast
absolutely for "a hours.
In America, where the members of
the Jewish denomination are divided
into the orthodox and the reformed
congregations, there are some minor
differences in the manner of eelebrat-
ing the occasion. In all of them the
ancient ceremony of blowing the
shofar or rams horn, is still used In
the orthodox congregations, which
cling most tenaciously to the old time
ritual, one Of the customs is for the
men to appear-in the temples wearing
shrouds to typify the significance of
the day as reminder of death. This
part of the ritual is not now used in
the reformed temples.
The celebration extends over a per-
iod of 10 days. ending with the feast
of Yom Kippur. or day of atonement,
another most solemnly observed holi-
day.
The Jewish calendar starts with the
day the world began. which is reck-
oned to have been 5665 years ago to-

GREATEST ENGLISH SETTER
rs OWNED AT MONMOUTH

There is a dog in Monmouth which
within the last three weeks has won
in field trials and bench shows total
of $1,000 and cost his owners $500.
The dog is known as Mckinley
and is today the greatest living Eng
fish setter in America and is the pro-
perry of the Monmouth Setter Ken
nells. mckinley" arrived in Mon
mouth recently from Huron, S. D.,
where he was purchased. The price
paid was $500. Mckinley" is but 3
years of age and is a most remark
able dog inasmuch as he has attained
the highest position dog can reach
in America at an age hitherto con-
sidered beyond the reach of 4-year-
old. \ few of the trials in which he
has participated and the position he
was given by the judges are as fol
lows:
Second in the all age stakes at the
Nebraska field trials. First in the
South Dakota all age stakes. First in
the subscription" stakes, the largest
in America. Second at Huron. S. D.,
all age stakes, and first in bench show
in Huron, s. D.. in which 20 of the
best settlers in America participated.
In judging the field trials the points
taken into consideration are speed.
range and finding qualities. The
trials so far with mckinley" have
been made on prairie chickens. but
his owners may enter him later on in
the quail trials.

Feast of Yom Kippur.

Oct. 1 another Jewish religious hol-
iday will come. This is the day Of
atOnement, called by the Jews "Yom
Kippur." They believe that the Su-
creme Being during the first nine days
of this period examines the actions of
mankind and that on the 10th day He
Prcnounces sentence. On this day the
Jews believe that by total abstinence
| from both food and drink, his name
will be enrolled on THE Book of Life
and erased from THE Book of Death y
If the name is found on the latter
book it is sign of lacking in due re-
pentance. On the night of ,Yom Kip
pur, services are held in the syna-
gogue from shutdown until about II
o'clock. The jews are supposed to re-
main I'm the synagogue until the next
night at shutdown. but very few now
observe this ancient custom.
Strictly speaking Yom Kippur is in
the Mosaic purport the day for the
publication of the sanctuary from all
| possible pOllutions brought upon it
by neglect during the year. The rites
of atonement. which are supposed to
be performed by the high priest alone,
are spoken Of in Leviticus 10. This
was the day on which the high priest
Yves permitted to enter the holy of
holies," but this was only under cer-
tain ceremonial conditions. The high
priest being the highest ecclesiastical
ldignitary of Israel was regarded as
the bearer of the obliquities" com
mitted against the sanctuary. 1t was
therefore fitting that he should per-
sonally on a day set apart proceed to
purge away all impurities that might
cling to things holy.
The fasting that the Jews do on
that day is a sign of self-abnegation.
1t is indicative of the surrender of
the human appetite to God and is a
sign of standardization. They are
not supposed to wear shoes on this
day.
The New Year rites close with the
Feast of the Tabernacle. which will
begin the 22nd of October. For a
whole week the Jews will feast, but
if they follow the rites strictly they
will not eat in their houses. They
will erect small structure, the roof
of which is made of branches of
trees. allowing the occupants to see
the stars through them at night, and
in this they will partake of their
feasts.

you have grown tired of (either CO.
lumbia or Victor), and we will eX-
change them for the new Improved
Columbia Disc Records. We will al
low you 80 cents for your 1O-inch
record and other sizes in proportion.
The new Improved Columbia Records
are of elegant workmanship and are
a decided advancement in the art of

which is designed to obviate the
scratch of the needle and at the same
time retain the full volume of tone.
We will exchange the new Grand
