Real Estate and Rents
O'NEILL'S BULLETIN.

If a total stranger came up to you on the street and held out to you a nice new crisp $1O bill that had never been folded and said to you, "I. will give you this for five $1 bills," you would im- mediately say, no, because you would think it was a counterfeit. Now here I come along and offer you practically the same proposition, except that mine is a house instead of $1O bill. The house will be sold for a great deal less than it is worth, and it Is in a part of the town where the values are increas- ing rapidly; up near Vine street. If had started business yesterday and in- tended to get out of business as soon as I sell this house, you might hesitate before you bought 1t on my recom- mendation: but don't you see that 1t would be radically wrong for me to make any statement of this sort unless it were so? I happen to be in the real estate business to stay, and if I make statements that will not bear investiga- tion. people will not be apt to believe me the next time say thing. This 1o1Tse is for three families. ... #. -

Ts Rivaled by Human Hair Where
DandrufY is Eradicated.

Sealskin is admired the world over for
its softness and glossiness; and yet the
human hair is equally as soft and glossy
when healthy; and the radical cause of all
hair trouble is dandruff, which is caused
by a pestiferous parasite that saps the
vitality of the hair at its root. Newbro's
Herpfcide is the only preparation that is
fatal TO the dandruff germ. Without dan
druff there is no falling hair, but lux

druff. Kill the dandruff germ. Thous-
