II Is the rarest thing In the world for
. man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair Is not dead at the roots, need
be bald II he will use Newbro's Herpi-
eide. the new scalp antiseptic. Herpi-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
of at the root; and cleans the scalp Of
dandrur and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, In the
Maryland Block. Butte. Mont. was en-
tirely bald. In less thar a month Herpi-
eide had removed the enemies of hair
growth. and nature did its work by COW

A GREAT INSTITUTION.

tits unusual that a single institution in .
city Of 5000 people will overshadow IN i'm

tho case VITA the American School Of
Osteopathy. and A. L. Still Intlrmary at
kirksville, Mo.
A stranger in Kirksville is Immediately
impressed with the idea that the town is
sustained by this institution, in fact,
kirksyile has been made what it is to-day
by DR.. Still and his famous School and
lntirmary 1t is tho largest patronlzed un-
endowed institution Of its Kind in the
United States.
DIR. Stills school cnrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student is required to at
tcnd four terms of five months each before
completing the course of study. There are
over 1000 graduates and they are pr;tc-
tcing in every state and territory of the
Union. About two-thirds of the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
In medical colleges except drugs" and
thorough is the teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies are dis
socted yearly by the students.
At the lntirmary, patients from every
part OF the country and with almost every
form OF diseas, F, are constantly under treat
mcnt For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming to Kirksville has
brought some new sufferer hoping to find re
lief by. tho science of Osteopathy. BY the
thousands who have left the institution
benefited by the treatment, the science has
been hcraldcd to the world as a safe and
rational method OF cure. Several years ago
free clinic was established in connection
with the practice department of the school
and this is still in operation. Hundreds Of
the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for
treatment, are treated every afternoon by
the esenior students free of charge.

LAUGH TURNED ON SURGEON,
His Effort to Impress Students Was
Distinct Failure.

A famous German surgeon, pom

patients and students with his impor-
tance. was lecturing to his students
one day when workingman entered
the room. The surgeon stopped him
by gesture and ordered his class
to look at him. Nov, Mr. X" he said
to one Of the students, what Is the
matter with this man? From here
you should be able to make correct
diagnosis simply by looking at the
mans face. his bearing and the con.
tour Of his head" Mr.. X, Mr.. Y and
Mr.. z having failed to make any d.
agnosis whatsoever. the professor trl.
umphantly declared: you ought to
see at the first glance that the man
is deaf and dumb" He forgot to men
ton that he himself had frequently
seen the patient. Then the patient
spoke up: No. your excellency. it
Is my brother who Is deaf and dumb.

FEEDING ANIMALS IN WINTER.
Squirrels and Rabbits Most Quickly
Become Pets.

OF the animals that We can coax
about our houses. the gray squirrels
become most friendly. Put nuts In
convenient places and they will make
frequent trips for supplies, but only
on comparatively mild days will they
remain long outside their comfortable
winter quarters. where they usually
have plenty of food stored.
In Central park. New York. the
gray squirrels have become SO accus.
toned to being fed that they have to
a great extent. given up storing food.
and rely chiefly on what they can
pick up each day. Red squirrels can
be coaxed by means of food, but they
are very questionable fellows: in fact,
the general opinion is decidedly
against them. owing to their partial
ity for eggs and young birds. Chip
munks hibernate in their under.
ground homes. SO we cannot count on
them for winter visitors.
The cotton-tail will condesccnd to
accept dainties in the form of green
vegetables (thoush one seldom has

he comes almost entirely at night, he

Causes Of EARTHQUAKES.

There are many earthquakes which
there is reason to suppose have been
caused by those sheering movements
of the rocks which produce what ge.

which appear to have been caused by

siderable tract of the earths surface
with the underlying rocks OF great.

cases large areas Of tue surface, more
than 100 miles square in extent, sud-

That castle in Spain:
And bright shone the vision
With mystical glow
When sounded Il whisper:
Wake! Enter and know!"
All, the court and the turrets

Were only the farmhouse
He loved when n boy;
And the Princess who dwelt there
For aye as his bride
Was she who Il decade
Had leaned at his side.
And the wine that he ordered
His cup-server bring
Was a draft from the faithful
Old pasture-lot spring;
And the wealth OF the Indus
That decked his abode
Was tive darling faces

While the music that quivered
And thrilled through the keep
Was n mother-voice singing
These children to sleep.
Thus there in the cleaning.

Faker's Ingenious Device.

There was man recently who did
tremendous business at French
fairs, selling powder that was harm
less to men but deadly to rats. He
would spread some Of the powder on
slice of bread and eat it; then put
a portion under a glass case, in which
was rat that died as soon as it ate
the bread. Here is the explanation
Of the trick. The powder was ordi-
nary sugar. But the glass case was
connected with an electric battery
and as soon as the rat touched the
bread the current was turned on, and
it was electrocuted.

How MIIionaires Enjoy Themselves

Twenty millionaires, impersonating
farmers, have held curious dinner
in an hotel in Philadelphia. A minia-
ture cornfield had been installed in
the dining hall, and roosters ate wheat
from the floor. The guests used toy
pitchforks. rakes, and hoes, instead Of
knives and forks. A stuffed bull stood
behind rail fence, and two live pigs
feasted in a sty. Farming utensils
hung on the walls, and the electric
lights were in pumpkins and melons
When the company felt thirsty they
went to a cider press. and farmers
wagons took them home
