THE REAL TEST
OF HerpIcidc Is In Giving 1t n Thor
OuSh Trial.

OuSh Trial.
There is only one test by which e.
judge of the efficiency Of any article
and that IS by its ability to do that
which it IS intended to do. Many hair
viECrs may look nice and smell nice.
but the point is-do they eradicate Dan
Grun ami stop falling hair?
no. they do not. but Herpicide does.
because ii goes to the root Of the evil
and kills the germ that attacks the
papiila from whence the hair gets its
life.
Letters from prominent people every
where are daily proving that Newbro's
Herpicide stands the test of use"
Il is a delightful dressing. clear, pure

Practically all the machinery for
the new filter plant Is in place, and
probably by the latter part of the
week it Will be possible to test the
plant preparatory to using it. The
large concrete tanks will be filed
with water this afternoon, and the
work now remaining is to stop the
leaks from connecting pipes. Under
the floor of the filter is Il network of
pipes. into which the water will be
turned. and the expectation is that il
will be necessary to tighten some of
the connections. The exact date for
the test will be determined when it is
learned how well the pipes withstand
the water pressure.

Senator McComas tells good story
on himself. He says:
While professor in law school in
Washington had my class before me
one night, and in the course of my re-
marks had occasion to illustrate the
smallness of the world. Why, gentle
men, I said. I can give you no better
example of the smallness of the world
than to state my own experience. Now,
all Of you know that I come frem a
little town in Maryland, where the
people are given rather to staying at
home, and yet, when was in Europe
not long ago, I was in Paris, and
there I saw man from my own town,
John x; then again, when I was in
Venice, I met John X; then again
in London, on the Strand, I ran across
him. I came home, and while visit
ing at Yellowstone park I met him
again
ct say, professor broke in one OF
the class with a sly look in his eyes
wouldn't it have been cheaper in the
end to have paid John x and lei
him go?'"

The first excited reports of the Bal
timore fire had it that that city's
"skyscraping" office buildings were
burning like finder boxes. AS a mat
ter of fact, considering the terrible
heat, those buildings were COM
paratively little damaged. Their
construction of steel encased in fire.
proof thing and brickwork not only
saved them from destruction but I'M
doubtedly acted as a further barrier to
the fire in the very heart of the city,
while in the recent Rochester fire a
building of that description stopped
what threatened to be almost as dis
astrous a conflagration as Baltimores.
The trouble is that people imagine
that a fireproof structure means i'm
munity to highly inf1ammab1e ma
terials In such building. Such an
ideal condition will exist only when
manufacturers of furniture, interior
decorations, ETC., learn to do their
work as we'll as the engineers build
and protect their steel structures.
