A GROWN OF GLORY

 uFfOum Hair

It has been truly said that the crown ing glory of our race is a luxurianL head of hair.
 It used to be thought that this was one of the blessings which the gods be- stow caprlciously, and 1t Is only re- gently that scientists have discovered that Its beauty Is dependent upon the absence of a minute germ which flour ishes in the hair follicles, where 1t de- stroys the life of the hair.
 TO restore this life and kill the germs which cause the mischief is the mis- sion of Newbro's HerpicIda.
 Herpicide surely kills the germs. and is the best hair dressing on the mar ket.

In 1916 an American man-of-war, I'M

Freezing Food Before Eating.

In nearly all parts of the arctic re-
gions food is frozen not only for pur-
poses of preservation, but also to in
crease, as the natives believe, it's nu-
tritiye properties. Their fish and seal
flesh are frozen and eaten in thin slices
cut off by AK OR knife. Seal flesh half
decomposed and then frozen is one of
the Eskimos' greatest delicacies. Wal
rus liver, too, when frozen is held to
possess great sustaining power, and 1t
is considered that cooking deprives it
of it's delicacy of flavor. The natives
of the Titicaca basin, in Peru, who in
habit district 10000 feet above the
sea, prepare their potatoes by soaking
them in water, then freezing them,
then sleeping them in water and mash
ing them to remove the soluble matter.
After this they are dried and become
an article of food. They will then keep
any length of time and are extremely
convenient for carrying on long jour
neys. The Okla, another vegetable OF
the district, is prepared in the same
way.

single officer clothed with civil author
ity."
After the first rush to the gold dig
gings the town began to regain it's lost
ground, and ere long the influx of gold
seekers gave quite an impetus to its
growth. The town was Incorporated
in April, 1850, and the first common
council elected proceeded with diligence
to plumber the city treasury. The
same year the state was admitted to
the Union, and when the steamer Ore
gon brought the news-there was no
telegraphic communication in those
days-business was entirely suspended
and the entire population rushed to the
wharfs to welcome the harbinger. The
town had about 10000 inhabitants at
that time, and when the people were
informed that the signal flags of the
Oregon indicated that California was
sovereign state Of the United States Of
America "a universal shout arose from
10000 voices on the wharfs, in the
streets, upon the hills, housetops and
the world Of shipping in the bay"
In Its early history the city suffered
from several disastrous fires. Between
December, 1S49. and June. 1851, six
CONGREGATIONS played havoc with the
growing young town. Better buildings
were planned and several fire compa-
MES were organized These were steps
in the right direction. 1t was also dis
covered that the fires were started by
criminals who profited by the confu-
sion.
This fact and the inefficiency and
corruption Of the city government led
large number of citizens to organ
ize the famous vigilance committee
which ruled the place in 1851. Quite a
number of crooks were lynched by
the committee, others were driven out,
like John Oakhurst the leading figure
in Bret Harte's "Outcasts Of Poker
