HEALTHY PLANTS
Require the Most Careful Attention as
Well as Good Soil.


Well as Good Soil.
Did you ever see a rosebush which
despite the most beneficent 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 yaseline, etc.
You must look to the cause of the
trouble-its 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.

COMMITTEE
For Christmas Choral Union Named.

A meeting of the leaders of hte
choirs of the Christmas Choral I'm

Grace church Wednesday night. DIR.
S. r. Lyons was elected presiding
officer. The subject of the coming
concert was thoroughly discussed
and plans laid for carrying out what
is sure to be one of the most popular
events ever given in our city.
It was the sense of this meeting
that very pleasing addition might
be made by the choirs uniting on
several selections such as might be
agreed upon, and thus create a grand
chorus. The entire charge of formu-
lating the program was placed in the
hands of the following committee:
Mr.. Alton Hale, Chairman.
Mrs. Clarence Hadley.
Mr.. Pettis A. Reid.
Miss Clara Myrick.

REIrERATE THE ENDORSEMENT.

Pension Bill. and if possible make it still
more emphatic.
There can be no other course.
The situation has not been changed by
Order No. IS, while the passage of another
year has added immensely to the pressing
need of such legislation for the rapidly
aging veterans and their widows.
Instead of it's being 80 years since the
close of the war. it will then be approach
ing 40 years-high time for the Nation to
redeem it's promises. and to place the vet
Grams of the rebellion on the same hOnored
plane as their comrades of previous wars.
The only question to come before the
Committee on Pensions in preparing its re-
port and recommendation to the Encamp-
ment is whether it should not eliminate
the limitations as to age and the maria sc
of widows.
Both of these are unjust and both have
been strongly opposed by The National
Tribune. which only accepted them for the
sake of unity.
