ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.

Biology Has Proved hat Dandruff is
Caused by a Germ.
Science is doing wonders these days
in medicine as well as in mechanics.
Since Adam delved, the human race
has been troubled with dandruff, for
which no hair preparation has hereto
fore proved a successful cure until
Newbro's Herpicide was put on the
market. 1t is a scientific preparation
that kills the germ that makes dand-
ruff or scurf by digging into the scalp
TO get at the root of the hair, where
it saps the vitality; causing itching
scalp, falling hair and finally badness.
Without dandruff hair must grow lux
uriantly. Herpicide at all druggists.
1t is the only destroyer Of dandruh.

Beckley to have the mounted patrolmen
act as inspectors, as they could stop
milkmen coming into the city. The
methods Of poi making and how the
manufacturers cheat the people. A half
hour was spent over the discussion and

tie opposition to the assistance of the
Federal station.

Kalama and Harris to increase the pay
of the head of the survey department
from $500 to $500. but the House this
time stood for the bill. All of the other

POISONING WOMAN,
Ruddle Coates Arrested at Anna,
ILL.,, Accused of Numbering His
Mother-in-L Law.
REpTELIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Anna. H.. July 1.-THE sudden and Pc
culiar death of Mrs Mary Caroline Quinlan
at the home of her son-in-law. Ruddle
Coates. in this city Tuesday afternoon. has
led to Coates's arrest on the charge of muir
der. 1t is alleged he poisoned her with
strychnire.
The State Attorney has found that Coates
bought large quantity of strychnine at
local drug store Monday afternoon. When
he made the purchase he told the clerk he
wanted it to kill yellow dog that he had
down at his house. He has no dog.
Mrs Quinlan on her deathbed accused
Coates of having poisoned her. according 20
statements made by negEbors who were
present.
The body was exhumed this afternoon and
Coroner Lence and Doctor l.. ID. keith
made a post-mortem examination. Inc
stomach was removed and will be taken TO
St. Louis tomorrow by State Attorney Lin
gle and the Coroner for chemical analysis.
The only reason given b. those who have
known of Coates's home life is that he has
at various times shown and expressed
strong dislike for the old woman, and has
never tried to conceal his hatred. Tuesday
morning, after he bought the strychnine.
Coates went to a physician to get medicine
for Mrs. Qu:nlan. He received five powders
four of which she took before noon.
Soon after taking the last one at II o'clock
she became violently ILL., A doctor was sum-
moned. He thought she was suffering from
apoplexy. She rallied some, and the doctor
departed. thinking she would recover soon.
He had not been gone long before she was
seized with commissions. which resulted in
almost immediate death, only orc and a
half hours after she took the last dose sup
posed to have contained the poison.
Coates has not given thus far an explana-
ton az to what became Of the strychnine.

He adopted the art principles and methods

ROYAL Academy after Whistler's friends
had made a fight for its admission. Willie
he was battling for acceptance as painter
Whistler took up etching. and in this field
quickly established pre-eminence.
Like many others, Whistler could not take
a joke when it was on himself. This. Du
Maurier the author of "Trilby'' found out
when his story was running serially. In the
third installment, published in March. 1929.
Du Maurier had introduced a lifelike carl
cature of Whistler under the name OF Joe
SiIsby
In the text that accompanied the sketch
Du Maurier described Sisby cLest there
should be any doubt as to his identi;y') as
a young man with beautiful white hair,
like an Alb.no's. as soft and bright as floss
silk and as tall and slim and graceful
ard. like most of THE other personages con-
ccrned in this light story, very nice to
look at. with pretty manners (and an unim-
peachable moral tone)."
Perhaps there was some sly satire in the
parenthitical remark. Perhaps Whistler OBJ
jected to the further description of "Silsby''
as rlachnist. LAS he had. said Du Maui
rier. but one God, whose praises he was
perpetually singing. And who was that
God? Sisby was the God of Joe's worship
and none otheri And he would hear of no
other genius In the world!'
At all events. James Whistler took great
umbrage at this description of Joe Sils5y.
He published a wrathfui letter in the Times
denouncing his old friend as an migrate who
had secretly cherished some old grudge for
thirty years. and had at last found oppor-
trnty for venting it under the guise of fic-
ton.
He brought suit against Du Maurier and
his publishers. The matter was finally com.
! promised by the cancellinG of the offending
, page. and the promise that neither the pen
| cilled nor written sketch would appear N
