There was quite furry in san Fran
cisco about the time the Nebraslan
was to sail for Honolulu, on account
of the rivalry between the. Oceanic and
the American Hawaiian companies car
rying Uncle Sans mail 70 the Islands.
At the time the Nebraskan was to sail
there would he four days mail. Two
days later the Ventura was to sail IT
was represented to the postal officials
that the Ventura would beat the Ne
braskan into Honolulu. and consequent-
~ If the Nebraskan was given four
days mail it would arrive in Honolulu
later than that carried by the Ventura.
The Nebraskan's agents telegraphed to
New York for Instructions, and the re-
ply came to take the four days mail
and make a hot foot" run for Homo
lulu. The result was that the four
days mail was taken aboard the
freighter and she came down in days
and % hours.

the human hair is equally as soft and

cause of all hair trouble is dandruff.

only preparation that is fatal to the
