YOUR HAT

May BE a Stylish One, Hut IL Makes

style" but the modern hat for men has
lots to answer for.
Baldheads are growing more numer-
Gus every day. Hats make excellent
breeding places for the parasitic germs
which sap the life from the roots of the
hair.
When your hair begins to fall out and
your scalp is full of Dandrum 1t is a
sure sign that these countless germs are
busily at work
There is but one way to overcome the
trouble and kill the germs-that way Is
TO apply Newbros Herpicide to the
scalp-it viii kin the germs and healthy

Fifteen men under skilled quarryman
uncovered other beds that will yield stone

much appreciated as at present for flag
ging and foundations, he discovered, with
the result that he is two years behind In
his orders. The amount of his business
when he installs modern machinery and
sends out statesmen will give him more
pleasure in estimating than it does me-
ALREADY he has in use besides two mar

working the former lessee's refuse heaps

Mind you, all this any one could do at

He purchased the spring property, about
five acres Of virgin soil, with house that
was good enough to shelter a farmers

-On my vacation last June. when she prof

a fellow who was with me to appropriate
everything What makes me feel the peer
less fool is that l introduced him to the
money.
sIn the little Pennsylvania village where
I 60. this man, whose name is Billings,
struck up an acquaintance with me
the morning after his arrival. He was
looking for water, he said. Not the we'll
water to be had at the farmhouse, but q
good, long drink from purling spring.
81 was familiar with an excellent spring,
and he was soon smacking his lips over
cup Of the frostiest, most appetizing water
that l think man ever drank. Its soft,
earthly taste fairly stimulated one.
Il always felt hosts obligation to ex-
hibit points OF interest TO new boarders,
90 the next morning Billings, under my
guidance, journeyed to an abandoned
bluestone quarry which was one Of the
show places Of the locality. Through strik-
ing vein Of water, this quarry had been
converted into a lake about 200 feet long
and 80 feet broad.
How deep is itT asked Billings.
sHe was not as much impressed by the
scene as had expected. Most Of the
time he was shying stones at the cliff.
THE water was trifie over fifty feet deep

had the Chincoteague ponies for play

have inhabited the island for at least q
century. They are bigger than the Shet-
lands, often better looking, and almost
In fact the Chincoteague pony makes
a very fair draft horse for light loads and
good roads. He is incidentally an excellent
swimmer, and when pasture is scarce he
sometimes swims narrow passages OF salt
ooteaguers call the narrow strips OF grass
clad land that edge their island.
Currituck Sound has a race Of ponies
much like those Of Chincoteague. They
are not literally wild horses since they have
natives Of the region use them for ordinary
domestic purposes and the largest Of the
breed very we'll serve the needs Of their
owners.
Like the Chincoteague ponies, they are
easily kept, and on the whole they furnish
cheap horses for the poor farmers Of the
coast. The Chincoteague ponies can be
bought at auction upon the island for $40
or $50. and the Curritucks are probably

He is tough, not i'll natured, easily kept;
