ANOTHER woNDER OF scIgNcg.
zBIoIogy has Proved that DandruiK is
Caused ny n Germ.

Science is DOING wonders these days in
medicine as well as in mechanics. Since
Adam lived, the human race has been
troubled with dandruff, for which no hair
preparation has heretofore proved a sue
cessful cure until Newbro's Herpicide was
put on the market. 1t is a scientific prep
aration that kills the germ that makes
dandruff or scurf by digging into the
scalp to get at the root of the hair, where
it saps the vitality; causing itching scalp.
falling hair, and finally badness. With
out dandruff hair must grow 1lxuriantly.
1t is the only destroyer of dandrun.

1t is a diseased condition Of the mu-
cous membrane and that it cannot be
cured by blood purifiers, pills, tablets,

Breathed for a few minutes, four or
five times a day, through a hard rub
Der inhaler that is 70 small that 1t can

Woodbridge s. Purdy, one Of the
most reliable firms In Mexico, are
giving their personal guarantee with

return the money. They have had
scores of reports of remarkable cures
of both acute and chronic cases Of

Shortage Of 100000 Bushels Re.
ported in That State. Oklahoma
and Nebraska.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, Aug. 8.-Reports
received from nearly 800 grain men
and millers in Kansas, Nebraska and
Oklahoma indicate that this area has
produced 8 ,000, 900 bushels less wheat
than In 1908. Fully half of the def.
cheney is the direct result OF the ex-
cessive rains which fell late in June
and early in July on fields that were
ready for harvest Or on wheat which
was in shocks awaiting threshers.
The Kansas crop on July / promised
an out turn of over 3d. 900, 900. As a re.
suit of the rains late In June and early
In July it had been cut down below
so, 1000, 900. Oklahoma lost 5000, 600 and
Nebraska about 5000, 900 to 1000, 900
bushels In consequence of rains and
the rust, which attacked the wheat on
the eve Of harvest.
In comparing this years crop with
last year 1t is to be remembered that
the 1904 harvest was a large one. The
production in Kansas and Nebraska
this year is much below the average of
the past eight years.
