Did you ever see a rosebush which
despite the most benehcent environment
Of soil-of sunshine-and of atmosphere,
seemed never to achieve a healthy
growth.
A ton Of manure will not help a plant
that has canker eating out its heart.
You must destroy the cause before you
can remove the effect
You cannot cure Dandruff and Bald
ness by rubbing on hair lotions, and
rubbing in vaseline, etc.
You must look to the cause OF the
trouble-it's a germ at the roots of
your hair which causes it to fall out,
Newbro's Herpicide destroys the germ,
and healthy hair is the sure result.

Reconstruction Book.


 Prof Walter L. Fleming of West Rli- slnia university is preparing TOT pes neation, by the Arthur H. Clark coiiip'..s Of Cleveland, a collection of doenihenes relating to reconstruction. Pfolessol fleming, in connection with an eN'siiuee e., study of reconstruction, has for several years been collecting eontempofaheou.s data for that period. This collection VIII not only include the official doeumen's' political platforms and speeches mus superseding McPhersons documentary history of reconstruction, but VIII also draw on many rare private sources Tor original, hitherto unpublished matter re- garding the Ku Klux Klan the White camelia, the Union league, churches ana schools during reconstruction, the Free oom's bureau, etc.
 State laws and decisions of state courts will also be included, together with se- lections Illustrating social and economic conditions during the period covered. Pro lessor Fleming Is still unearthing ma terial, and has discovered many unique documents owned by private individuals; he would be glad to hear from persons having in their possession material relat- ing to this period, and may be addressed at Morgantown, ".

Canada's Approaching Election.

On November next Canada will elect new house of commons, and upon the makeup of the new house depends the continuance of Sir W1lfred Laurier in office as premier. King Edward appoints a governor general, who is but a figurehead. the real ex- ecutive authority resting in the pre- mier and his cabinet. Members of the house of commons are elected for five years, and the coming election will therefore determine the policy of Can ada throughout considerable period of time. he government can, how ever, dissolve parliament at any time and order a new election.
 The premier is liberal and he has been sustained in power by a liberal majority of f1fty-one. The new house will consist of 214 members, and the conservatives, led by R. L. Borden, hope to defeat Sir Wilfred. The con test is a warm one. The liberals are charged with extravagance and i'm perialism, and the liberals retort with the prosperity argument.
 Much depends upon the coming cleo ton. The Chamberlain empire policy is tied up in it, and it is asserted that Laurier is not friendly to it. A reef procity treaty with the United States Is also involved in the election, and possibly also Canada's independence 0. annexation to the United States. If the liberals gain control of the new house Laurier will remain in office. If the conservatives win out R. L. Borden will become Canada's ruler.
