COMPLETED THE FlFTIETH RUN.
Fire Department Rounds the Half
Hundred.

Fire Department Rounds the Half
Hundred.
An alarm of fire at O'Clock yester-
day afternoon sent the trucks in hot
run of measured mile to the FIeeman
residence on Elmore street, East Amer
icus, where blaze had started on the
roof of the dwelling.
But it was only little blaze and
quickly extinguished.
From the moment the alarm was re-
ceived until stream was poured upon
the endangered building was Just ex-
actIy seven minutes. A splendid record
for long mile sprint.
This alarm was the fiftieth to which
the Americas department has respond
ed since January 1st. And in the long
list not more than two or three small
dwelling houses have been lost, and
but few considerably damaged.
All told, the fire losses in Americus
this year are considerably under So, 900,
it is believed
And this in the face of the fact that
the value of all property endangered
by fire was considerably more than 8
half million dollars. Last year the de-
partment, from January 1st to Deem
Der 31st, responded to 80 alarms.
The total fire losses here last year
were only $278-a ridiculous figure.
This year it will run we'll above that,
but good record will probably be
made, Notwithstanding. In fact, it is
made already, as shown above.
And yet Amerlcus is made to pay the
same old high insurance rates that she
has paid for years.

No Matter What Color.

'SH~'I OOAOf'
The finest contour Of a female face, the
sweetest smile of a female mouth, loses
something if the head is crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair, it is
now known, is caused by parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where it saps the vitality. The lit
tie white scales the germ throws up in
burrowing are called dandruff To cure
dandruff permanently. then, and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed.
Newbro's Herpicide, an entirely new re-
suit of the chemical laboratory, destroys
the dandruff germ, and, of course, stops
the falling hair, and prevents badness.
