May BE Stylish One, But 1t Makes
Trouble.
A man usually buys a hat that's ''in
STYLE" but the modern hat for men has
lots to answer for.
Baldheads are growing more numer-
Gus every day. Hats make excellent
breeding places for the parasitic germs
which sap the life from the roots of the
hair.
When your hair begins to fall out and
your scalp is full of Dandruff it is q
sure sign that these countless germs are
busily at work
There is but one way to overcome the
trouble and kill the germs-that way is
to apply Newbros Herpicide to the
scalp--it will kill the germs and healthy
hair is sure to result.

HER LINE

You remember that dewy-eyed girl
in the red frock we had at our last club
tea? She sent for me today, and a more
fetching little invalid 1 never saw. She
has nervous prostration, cannot leave
her room for several weeks, and it will
cost the street railway company sew
eral hundred dollars to settle the thing.
"She was riding on a crowded car
and was carried past her corner She
gently reproved the conductor, and he
talked back, saying that in crowded
car like that she ought not to expect
him to see her signal when they were
merely at the crossing. She charged
him with impertinence and demanded
his number. He thrust his cap in his
pocket, and every man In the car be-
came the instant champion Of the young
woman. She rode to the end of the
line, renewing the alteration at inter-
walls, and the car was switched to a
side track by the orders of an inspector.
She remained until actually frozen out.
Then she went home and had Mysteries
and lawyer.
"The street car representatives went
to see her, and / guess one look at
those dewy eyes and the baby mouth

IL was impossible to buy a box OF II

man had given orders to his EMPLOYER to
reIuse TO sell 1t for at least six months
People did not even know whether it
was new kind of soap or a breakfast
food or the latest thing in stove polish.
what was the result? Why. people
We're mad to get it. They would have it.
Inc very idea that in a free country
tney were not allowed to buy anything
they wanted! Was this Maine with a pro-
hIoitiVe law or something the people re-
ally wanted?
And all this time the editor OF the
Daily Howler kept on increasing his edl-
ton, and all the time Mr. Wise went on
buying sawdust and cheap molasses until
ne had whole county In Northern New
York heaped high with it and five large
mills hard at work COMPRISING it into
cakes.
And at last. seemingly on account OF
the pressure of public opinion but re-
ally because the advertising man said it
was high time, Mr. Wise put an adver-
tlsement on the first page Of the Daily
Howler to the effect that Sord Ust was a
breakfast food, and that all you need
do to It was to pour a little hot milk
on 1t, and If your grocer wouldn't get 1t,
for you to change your grocer at once.
Was it "a success?
Well, / guess.
Why, they had one long freight train
stretching from the mills to New York.
moving all the time on a special track.
and as fast as car was unloaded a the
Manhattan end a car was filed at the
other end.
Motive power? Electricity. Of course.
And the man became a millionaire ten
times over before the year was up and
petore the Sord Ust had kicked up any
racket in the insides OF the populace.
And now the advertising man began to
advertise in all the papers. and the Daily
Howler came before its millions of sub
scribers with murders and editorials once
more. and they after their long fast.
were only too glad to learn that the world
was not as good as they had suspected.
and the Daily Howler was a bigger sue
cess than ever.
But the editor has got the tip, and he
didn't use Sord Ust on his home menu.
And he's alive yet

Showing That It Pays To Advertise

~ AVE you ever heard about that
business man who in advertising
his particular brand of breakfast fodder
increased the circulation Of the paper
in which he advertised a hundredfold?
Well. 1t was this way. His name was
Wise, and he had unlimited money to
spend. He had formerly owned saw
mill and he naturally had large uuan-
tity OF sawdust on hand. 1t struck him
that If he could buy a low priced mo-
lasses and could make an amalgam of
molasses and sawdust and advertise it
as the only nutritious food, good alike
for brain, Drawn, cuticle and hair. he
could make a fortune in q month or
two.
So he called In an advertising man,
and put him on princely salary at
once and said:
go ahead. Advertise Sord Ust In
any way you like as long as you get the
peoples attention
Now. the advertising man was
genius and he said to himself: If adj
vertise this thing a little in every pa
per people will only think a little of 1t,
but If I bend all my energies on one
paper, and that a very important one,
and advertise 1t there uniquely for a
month. or So. the very oddly of the
thing will attract attention. ~ ].
So he went to the office Of the Daily
Hcwler and said:
Il want TO buy every page in your
paper for advertising purposes"
r And the business manager told him
1t couldn't be done.
SO the advertising man showed him
what a large check he could write, and
then the business manager said it was
possible. and the next day Mr. Man had
every page in the Daily Howler There
was not a murder, not a bit OF editorial
speculation. not thing of any sort in
the paper. except the name and the date
and the subscription price.
And Of course there was no advertise
ment. And that piqued curiosity ~,
Well. this thing happened next day
and the next. and then on the editorial
page was printed in very small letters:
Try sord Ust.
