A FACT PROVEN.
Should Convince Even the Most Skep-
teal of Its Truth.

If there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that Dandruf germs do not
exist, their belief is compelled by the
fact that a rabbit innoculated with the
germs became bald in six weeks time.
1t must be apparent to any person
therefore that the only prevention of
badness is the destruction Of the germ
which act is successfully accomplished
In one hundred per cent. Of cases by
the application of Newbro's Herpicide.
Dandruff is caused by the same germ
which causes badness and can be pre-
vented with the same remedy-Newbro's
Herpicide.

cause you remove the effect"

What Il Swimmer Says.

This Is tie advice OF an old swim
mer to those who cannot swim: "Any
human being who will have the pres.
ence of mind to clasp the hands behind
his back and turn the face toward
the zenith may float at ease and in per-
feet safety in tolerably still water
When you first find yourself in deep
water you have only to consider Your.
self an empty pitcher; let your mouth
and nose, and not the top of yoAr head
be the highest part of you, and you are
safe. But thrust up one Of your bony
hands, and down you go-turning UP
the handle tips over the pitcher
There IS reason and logic in this.

Then there was a click. The detective
went into the adjoining room and call

There, hopping about, was a huge
parrot the only occupant of the room.
This parrot" said the detective, "oc-
eupied the adjoining room to this one
when a patient of yours was here de-
lirious and convinced that her nurse
was trying to kill her. The bird re-
peatedly heard you rung up on the tele
phone and listened for weeks to the
patient calling on you to save her from
her nurse. 1t was not much trouble
for me to locate this phone and, once
located, make the discovery. The par
rot is placed here every night, let out
Of her cage and permitted to roam

up the receiver to get Central" and in
variably hangs it up again, shutting
off the circuit.
After that the parrot was kept away
from the telephone.

CHALLENGER
UNDER new
JURY ACT

There Is pending In the senate an Inn
ex-Alderman sheahan and introduced by
Senator Cushing
Ii is in amendment OF chapter 227 OF the
general laws and II aims principally TO aid
In the challenging OF jurors. allowing OF
the putting OF specific questions to bring
out facts that might influence juror in
the case in which he happened TO be sit
ting. As IL is now the code used is too
general. say a majority OF the members
OF the bar.
IL gives as the general causes for chai-
lenge: First a conviction for felony: sec
ond. a want OF any OF the qualifications
prescribed by law for juror; third un-
soundness OF mind OF such defect In the
faculties OF the mind or organs OF the
body as renders him incapable OF per
forming the duties OF juror.
Particular causes OF challenge are Of
two kinds:
First. For such bias as. when ths ex-
istence Of the facts Il asoertaaned, in
judgment OF law dfsquallfes the juror.
and which Is known In this title as i'm
piled bias. Second. For the existence OF
a state OF mind on the part OF n Juror In
reference TO the action. or 10 either party.
which satisfies the trier. In the exercise OF
O sound discretion, ,Aat he cannot try
10 issue inpartially and without prejudice
20 the substantial rights OF the party
challenging, and which is known In this
title as actual bias.
The last three and most important sec
tons are az follows:
Section 70. The challenge. the excep-
ton and the denial may be made orally
and shall be noted upon the minutes OF
the court together with the substance OF
the testimony on either side.
Section 81 Whoever attempts, 10 In
fuence the action OF any grand or petit

any issue of matter pending before such
Juror. or before the jury OF which he

any letter or any communica tion i'm print
writing. or otherwise in relation TO such
issue or matter without the order
