YOUR HAT
May Be Stylish One, But 1t Makes
Trouble.

A man usually buys a hat that's "in
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 Dandruff it 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 Newbro's Herpicide to the
scalp-it will kill the germs and healthy

greater part of the work. This work

of any serious strike is at an end and
that all railroads I'm this state that have
taken off trains because of a fear of a
prolongation of the strike will put the
trains back on. The brick yards are suf-
fering In this city and are unable to NIL
orders because of the lack of coal. having
failed TO stock up before the cessation of
work. The work of making the resolu-
lions has been taken up and will take the
remainder of this week at least, for the rea-
son that the resolutions include the mat
tiers of fines and lower wages in case Of
lower prices in competitive fields. II is
believed, however, that there will be no
serious difficulty arising from this source.

DERELICT WILD WITH RATS
One of the Queer Things They Run
Across who Go Down to the
Sea in Ships.

The log of the British steamship Coulson,
which arrived In New York from the far
east the other day, records some unusual
things. 1t ran into rough weather on the
way from Portland, Ore. to Yokohama, and
had used up all its coal when only half
done with its journey.
The Coulson was loaded with grain and
Captain Henry decided to use that for fuel.
Seven thousand bags at 50 a bag had gone
into the Cousons furnaces when It put in
at Muroran in north Japan.
Coming back the COulson was ia latitude
42:Oi north and longitude 45:O2 west on
March "a when it sighted a derelict steam
ship. The German steamship CalabTia was
near and the Coulson and It raced to see
which would reach the derelict first.
II never saw such sight in my life"
said First Officer Phare as he told the
story. "The wrecked vessel was the Brit
ish steamship Dunmore, which was aban-
doned in December in midocean. It's crew
had been picked up and landed at Bremen.
But you should have seen that ship A
fine one It had been and there It lay in the
trough Of the sea with its starboard rail
under water and a thousand rats racing
about it's decks squesking. We won't soon
forget that The rats seemed to he mad.
They scurried down the matches and then

"Ony a sailor can understand how we
felt when we looked on that fine, big ship
given over TO the rats. Some Of the men
were 80 angry that they fired their re-
volvers into the sCurrying horde and killed
many OF them The live rats soon de-
voured tho carcasses and resumed their
mad racing. All that we could do was TO
