THE REAL TEST
Of Herpicide i@ in Giving it a Thor
 Ough Trial.

There is only one test by which to iudge of the efficiency of any article and that is by its ability to do that which it is int ended to do. Many hair vigors may look nice and smell nice. but the point is-do they eradicate Dan druff. and stop falling hair?
 No. they do not. but Herpicide does, because it goes to the root of the evil and kills the germ that attacks the papilla from whence the nair gets its life.
 Letters from prominent people every where are daily proving that Newbro's Herpicide stands the test Of use.
 It is a delightful dressing. clear, IuTe and free from oil or grease.

ASKS LAW TO HIT
FRENzIED FINANCE
District Attorney Jerome Says the
Big Financiers Ought to
Be Governed.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
New York. June 16.-District Attor-
ney William Travers Jerome. at g din
ner given in his honor last night by the
Merchants Protective association, de
clared the actions of "eminent gentle
men, associated with the Equitable
Life Assurance society no whit Jess I'M
moral than those of "Larry' Summer
field, the confidence man, and urged
the necessity of laws which adequately
would deal with crimes in high finance.
His remarks created a profound sensa-
ton. Mrs Jerome said:
'rWithin the last decade or SO there
has arisen an entirely new class OF
crime, crimes which do not come within
the pale of the law. In earlier days OF
American history, when a man wanted
to rob his neighbor, he did SO by force,
and there were laws provided which at
tended to his case, if he should be lie
tected and found guilty.
Europe Leads America.
"There are no laws to cover ninety
nine out of one hundred. crimes COM
mitted every dNy in this era of high
finance. In England, France and the
countries Of Europe the necessity of
safeguarding the people against imam
cial crimes has been recognized by laws
which have been enacted to this end.
"TAe United States has singularly
been backward in this regard.
"The trouble in this country is that
the morality of a great many people
is governed by what is on the statute
books. Thousands of New Workers are
blind to the moral side and only know
an act is immoral when it is written
into the law as felony.
The Equitable Affair.
"There is the recent exposure Of the
affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance
society. In the case Of the eminent
will admit the things they did were
not criminal, as defined in section 52S
of the penal CODE which has to do with
larceny. [ contend, however, that in a
moral sense they should come within
the purview of this section, and ] defy
them to distinguish their acts from the
acts defined in it.
''Since the Equitable house-cleaning
began I have been receiving letters by
every mail from people who can't see
the difference between the actions of
the eminent Equitable gentlemen and
the actions Of Larry Summarized, the
confidence man. It is not 50 long since
and people who are writing me refuse
to see why the high fnanciers of the
Equitable should not follow him.
Send Them to JAIL
What is the matter with you?'
is the way some Of the letters read.
why don't you send these people to

young wife by cutting her throa,

ing a. short time after this awful
deed was committed.
The unfortunate woman met her
death Id this fearful and horrible
manner, while her husband was
occupying the next room. There
was some indication of suicide ID
this case and it might be admitted
that in some moment of despond-
ency or hysteric spasm that the
poor woman sought her own de-
struction, but there was some 9th.
er wounds in her hands aud upon
her arms that indicated that the
defenseless woman struggled for
life. and these we're the causes
that lead the suspicion to the hus-
band as being the murderer of his
own wife.
Leblanc was placed on trial
some months ago ut a special
term Of court, the trial had fairly
begun when one of the Jurors be-
came very sick. necessitating his
removal to bis home, and the pre-
siding judge ordering that a mis-

sumed the whole day. Monday.
