NATURE SPARES
The Stricken Rose From Grief

What a fortunate provision of nature II Is
that deprves the of mental suffering for
how poignant would be its grief to discover.
I'm the height of its blooming glory, that a
canker fed at its heart. and that its beauty
and fragrance were doomed forever. Nature
always spares the suffering; she is veritable
storehouse OF pleasing rewards, for those who
seek her aid. In the years gone by falling
hair and grayness have east a gloom over the
lives OF thousands of young women. but
thanks to the Investigations of scientists the
true cause OF hair destruction is now known to
be a germ or parasite that burrows into the
hair follicles. Newbro's Herpicide absolutely
destroys this germ, thus permitting the hair to
grow as nature intended Sold by leading

The following letter should bring

Mrs. Sophie Mayer.

Many of the young Russian and
Polish Hebrew women who come to
this country achieve results calculated
to make American women ashamed OF
themselves.
One of these is Mrs. Sophie Mayer.
recently graduated as lawyer from
an eastern university. Mrs. Mayer is
forty-three years old. She was born,
reared aud began her education in
Warsaw. She speaks seven languages,
is II gDod musician and during her law
course earned $500 by translating and
Interpreting She studied twelve hours
a day While she was in the law college.
Her husband is also an attorney and
Mrs. Mayer will work web him in
both civil and criminal cases. She
will devote herself specially To right
ing the wrongs of working girls. All
this, while cOmmendable. is not very
remarkable. Here is something that
is: Mrs. Mayer is the mother of six
children. the youngest babe. and dur
ing all the time she was learning the
law she attended 10 her housekeeping

Pittsburg. Her paper is a weekly. de-
voted TO music, art. literature. society
and D. all the higher and better public
interests of the community in which it
is published. Mrs. Birch is shrewd as
we'll as public spirited and has made
her paper a well paying investment.
One test of success Is the financial,
and quite right too. The spirit of good
will and understanding that pervades
her office and all the people in it is re-
markabie and due undoubtedly to the
strong harmonious personality of the
editor and manager.
Mrs. Birch began life as kinder
garten teacher. The next step was to
write stories for children. then to be-
come Il member of the local staff of
one of the leading Pittsburg dailies.
There she did all kinds of newspaper
work. Another step, and the indie
fatignble and most capable journalist
was made art and musical critic for
the paper of which she is ut present
editor and manager. At length the last
step was taken, and Mrs. Birch be-
came sole head Of the paper. Regular
ly she was graduated from one rank to
another. Today she can fill any desk
on newspaper. Her old time interest
in kindergartens has never deserted
her. however, and the paper she edits
has always been their advocate and
defender. Mrs. Birch herself is Il mem
Der of the board of managers of the
Pittsburg and Allegheny Free Kinder
carten association. Music is also
topic OF special interest to her and
she has written among other things
series of papers on the musical history
of Pittsburg.

DRY, hard eyes are never lovely:

that are lined with crows feet are al

blue eyes will look faded if one is

Dark brown or black eyes will grow
