How the Evil One Came to Be Popu-
larry Known as the 1.-THE Old
Scratch -

One of the many familiar names of his
satanic majesty is 1.-THE Old Scratch 1t
is undoubtedly due to the fact that scratch
ing is so agreeable that people thought
it no worse than the evil one. A scalp full
of dandruff keeps one scratching all the
time; not only disagreeable but considered
very ineleganti in polite society-as it should
bc-because one ought to keep the scalp so
clean that it would not itch. To cure the
scalp of dandruff effectively, use Newbro's

TRAVELLING MEN BOYCOTT U. p.
VIII Make No More Shipments on That
Road Until Service. Is In1nroved


Thirty-eight travelling statesmen met
in Abilene Saturday and agreed among
themselves that no more shipments
would be made on the Union Pacific
to competitive points. This agreement
was made because of the Union Pa
cific's refusal to grant the travelling
mems request to reinstate the trains
recently take off between Junction
City and Ellis. These trains We're of
great convenience to the travelling men
and since they have been taken off the
men lose considerabl time in visiting
their customers. The movement is enc
which oil the travelling men are in
favor of and it is thought that a large
amount of freight and traffic V Ill be
given over to the other roads because
of it's action in turning down the re-
quest.
The commercial men of Junction
City may take a hand in the affair be-
fore long and it is understood that they
will lend their support to the travelling
men.

"'I have used four large bot

me any relief. I.think it was a
blessing when I received my first

it has done them good. Ny hus-

"Catarrh was the cause of Mrs.
Brandenburg's Sickness" said
Mr.. Hill. "The ailments of wo-
manhood were but the results of
catarrhal poisoning. Rexall Mu-

such conditions. 1t is a germ de-
stroyer, clearing the system OF
every trace of the catarrhal par
