true of other Americas dealers. One
of these was quoted few days ago as
saying that his sales were not one

THE REAL TEST
OF Herpicide Is In Giving 1t a Thor
Ough Trial.

Ough Trial.
There is only one test by which to
judge of the efficiency of any article
and that is by it's ability to do that
which it is intended to do. Many hair
vigors may look nice and smell nice,
but the point is-do they eradicate Dan
druff and stop falling hair?
No. they do not, but Herpicide does,
because it goes to the root of the evil
and kills the germ that attacks the
papilla from whence the hair gets its
life.

most famous living musical COM
poser, who came here to receive
the degree of doctor of music
from Yale University, talked pleasantly

musical matters generally while at the
Waldorf Astoria. in New York. On the
subject of music he had some amusing
critical remarks TO pass on the worlds
national anthems. the 'Star-Spangled
Banner" coming in for due share OF
lis criticism.
"AII national anthems are rubbish so
far as their words are concerned, and
worse than rubbish from musical
point of view" said Sir Edward The
English national anthem is the silliest
thing imaginable: the words are stupid.
and some of the lines won't rhyme, and.
altogether, the man who sings it and
thinks of what he is saying can't re
spect himself Fhe music is good
enough. because II was stolen from the
Germans.
Your national anthem Is even worse
than Englaads. You haven't got any
regular, legitimate national anthem, but
YOU have four anthems which seem to
rank about equal in popular estimation.
