HEALTHY PLANTS
REQUIRE the Most Careful Attention as
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 plant
that has a 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 vaseline, etc.
You must look to the cause Of the
trouble-it's a germ at the roots of
your hair which causes 1T to fall out.
Newbros Herpicide destroys the germ,
and healthy hair is the sure result.

i have not gone through the Congressional
Directory and read It's photographs In reference
to this point. but would be willing to nsk my head

According to Mr. CLARK, school teach

Speaking Of consultations and Of the
moral uses of dark things, consider the
case and the words of the Hon. ROBERT
BAKER of Brooklyn and the Sixth Con-
gress district
Last November an ungrateful con-
stituency was untrue to the impassioned
champion Of the oppressed and the
initiative and referendum While We
mourn, and shall ever mourn, for hui
mainly, so foully struck down by this
ingratitude 10 its honored friend we
could be almost glad, for his sake, that
he will not have to live in Washington
much longer, As he said in the House
Tuesday:
It COSTS me more 10 ike here than In Brooklyn.
Ny expenses, to gel anything ike the same result,
are easily 30 and 80 per cent more Than they Ia

From the economical point OF view
the order Back to BROOKLYN is money
in Mr. BAKERS pocket. But what does
he care what he saves, so long rs the
people lose?

volutions, the fear that Mr.. ROOSEVELT

explanation.
The precedent about to be made, the
wide reaching responsibilities to be as

ton given OF the Monroe Doctrine will
make momentous the consideration by
the Senate of the Santo Domingo proto-
col and the treaty framed upon it.

his constitutional share in what is likely
