1.-THE OLD SCRATCH"
How the Evil One Came to be Popu-
 larlv Known as EDThe Old Scratch"

4dLAy AuOWn dS AAc Ol0 SCAdISA'
 One of the many familiar rames of his satanic majesty is The Old Scratch.
 It is undoubtedly due to the fact that scratching Is so disagreeable that people thought 1t no worse than the evil one. A scalp full of dandruff keeps one scratching all the time; not only dis agreeable but considered very inelegant in polite society-as 1t should be-because one ought to keep the scalp so clean that it would not itch. To cure the scalp of dandruff effectively, use Newbros Herpi- eide. It kills the germ that creates the dandruff. which is preliminary to falling hair, and. finally. badness No other hair preparation kills the dandruff germ. Herpcide also is a very delightful and effective hair-dresslng. Sold by leading druggists. Send 1Oc in stamps for sample to The Herpicide Co, Detroit, Mich. E. c. Fowler, Special Agent -sat.

of 8 to 7.

The bankers defeated the lawyers
Friday afternoon by score of : to Z.
The game was uninterestlng after the
second inning because of the inability
of the lawyers to hit Will Collier.
The agreement at the beginning OF
the game was for only five innings.
ana In that time the lawyers secured
only three hits and one run off OF Col
lier. After the five innings had been
played, however, ana the score stood
& to in favor of the bankers, the
spectators demanded that the game be
continued, so another inning was
played In that inning Collier just
tossed the ball over and by combina-
ton of two hits, three bases on balls
and some bad errors the lawyers
piled up six unearned runs.

It is hard to be absolutely truthful

Some men only feel like working when
there is nothing for them to do.
Many a fellow has gained a reputa-
