MEN ARE PoWEREEss
To Fight Against Disease Unless They
Strike at the Underlying Cause.

To treat Dandruff, and Failing Hair,
with irritants or oils on which a para
site germ will prosper, is like scooping
water from the ocean to prevent the tide
from rising.
You cannot accomplish a satisfactory
cure without having a right understand
ing of the fundamental causes of the
trouble.
You must kill the Dandruff Germ.
NeWbros Herpicide does this because it
Is specially made to do that very thing.

growth and beauty.

H. J. Weber Tells of Experiments With the Hybri-

An interesting lecture or the Making

American methods and the cultivation

for the people of this country TO hcId
the advantage now theirs. two rene
dies suggested themselves. cultivation
and ;he improvement Of the varieties
The production Of new sorts OF fruit
and grain could be accomplished by two
principles. that OF selection and OF by
bridization. The effect OF environment
seemed at first glance to be an easy and
rapid method, but it was more striking
than useful After briefly speaking of
the methods Of selection and the skilled
attention needed for that process. the
remainder Of the lecture was devoted to
The explanation OF hybridization SpC-
ciaI Illustrations were used showing ev-
cry step in this work
one peculiar feature OF this method is
that the resulting hybrid has always
the larger fruit after the selection Of
the new plants is completed. This Diff
ference is best shown by the rapid
growth Of a hybrid walnut secured by
Prof. Burbank. The tree mentioned was
over a foot and half thick and more
than scventy-fve feet high within eight
years after the Seeding had been ere
ated. An indirect influence on these by
birds is eNerted by environment. and

Dramatist Paul Heyse and Director OF

judgment declares that Biblical subjects
can and often have been treated by
dramatists in a way 10 make the Bible
more ineligible and more impressive,
citing as instances the mystery plays
Of the Middle Ages and the modern
passion plays. but it holds that the
manner in which Biblical subjects may
be handled is a matter for police super
vision.
The judgment continues; In the for
