a FACT PROVEN
Should Convince Even the Most Skep-
teal Of Its Truth.

If there is the slightest doubt in the
minds of any that dandruf germs do
not exist, their belief is compelled by
the fact that a rabbit inoculated with
the germs became bald in six weeks
time. Il must be apparent to any per
son therefore that the only prevention
of badness is the destruction OF the
germ-which act is successfully &C
complished in 100 per cent of cases BY
the application of Newbro's Herpicde.
Dandruff is caused by the same germ
which causes badness and can be pre-
vented with the same remedy-New-

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Joseph Garron

and his wife told him to jump into the
lake and drown himself. "All right"
said Garron. "I'll just do that"
He did, and, though he was alive
when taken from the water, he died
in the hospital two hours later. In the
pocket of his coat the coroner found
this note:
This is to certify that my wife, Mag
gle Garron, told me to leave the house
and go to the lake and drown myself.
Goodbye and God forgive her."
Mrs. Garron became hysterical when
informed of her husbands act and hur-

the body Of her husband. II never

Nearly 200 Russian peasants have ar

Those who arrived last week first
landed at New Orleans and went from

were not able to proceed further, be-
cause of lack of funds. They OBJ

the archbishop's residence were over
powered and the mob started to break
in the heavy doors of the building. A
detachment. OF state calvary wah hur-

persons injured before the troops sue
ceeded in clearing the space in front
OF the residence.
