ruff and Saps the Hairs Vitality.
 People who complain of falling hair as a rule do not know that it Is the result of dandruff. which Is caused by a pestif. erous parasite borrowing up the scalp as 1t digs down to the sheath in which the hair is fed in the scalp. Before long the hair root is shriveled up and the hair drops out. If the work of the germ is not destroyed hair keeps thinning till bald ness comes. The only way to cure dan drufr Is to kill the germ, and until now there has been no hair preparation that would do 1t; but today dandruff is easily eradicated by Newbro's Herpicide, which makes hair glossy and soft as silk.

COMMERCIAL CLUB PLANS
TO ADVERTISE THE CITY,
Containing Matters of In
terest to Manufacturers Will he
Scattered Broadcast.

The Commercial Club yesterday issued its
new pamphlet of Indianapolis, copies of
which are to be scattered broadcast
throughout the country. The object of the
club is to advertise Indianapolis as a resi-
Dental and manufacturing city. The
pamphlet contains cuts of most of the
hotels and prominent buildings Of the city,
as well as scenes of the various parks. A
page is also used in setting forth the adj
vantages of the city as a convention city.
The pamphlet contains much useful in
formation concerning Indianapolis. The
middle pages are devoted to a carefully pre-
pared chart showing the citys admirable
situation in regard to other cities of the
country. A special letter to manufacturers
occupies the last page of the pamphlet,
showing how circle drawn with a radius
Of 500 miles, with Indianapolis as its CEN
ter. embraces nearly 80 per cent. of the
entire population of the United States
This means that the manufacturer can
reach from Indianapolis in less time and
at less cost a greater per cent. of the popu-
lation than from any place in America
The booklet does not attempt to set forth
all the advantages of Indianapolis, but
mentions the most important.
The board of directors of the Commercial
Club yesterday authorized the payment of
$1,000 on the bonded indebtedness of the
club reducing ii to 100000 Five thousand
five hundred dollars has been paid on the
