YOUR HAT
May BE n 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 1t is a
sure sign that these countless germs arc
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
hair is sure to result.

TRAGEDIES OF HUMBLE LIVES.

PerflS Which Constantly Confront
the Natives of Central Africa.
The Central African natives ave
many pests to contend with. Mighty
herds Of elephants, with an occasional
night to devour their crops and work
havoc in their waffle and daub vii
lagos.
Even more daring is the leopard,
who will take not only sheep and goats
from the headman's door, but even
grown-up children before the parents
eyes. Then there are the white ants,
which bore and eat their way into
every kind Of woodwork and enor-
nous snakes, some Of them thirty feet
long, though fortunately not poisonous.
So much for dry land. On the giant
rivers like the Nile and the Congo
there are two serious pests, the n
animal and the other reptile. The ami
NAL is the unwieldy h~ippopotamus,
who is neye so happy as when he is
upsetting dugout canoes Of fishermen
or warriors.
1t would seem as though he were
In league with his singular friend, the
crocodile, who is perhaps the most
dreaded pest OF Central Africa. The
Congo especially swarms with croco-
diles, and many a night when the
white mist settles at dusk on the bosom
of the stream a sudden scream reaches
the ears OF missionary, trader or white
official seated on the yeranda Of his
bungalow.
Only too we'll these men know what
that sound means. Just outside the
village, and on the bank of the river,
are staked Enclosures, within which
the women may do such washing as Is
necessary, and hither, too, all members
of the family resort for GOODNESS rather
than cleanliness
The sole purpose Of these Enclosures
is to keep out crocodiles. But these
hidcous and artful creatures will push
the wattles or twigs on n side with
powerful snout or jaw and crawl in-
side the Enclosure, there to lie in wait
for some u~nsuspecting visitor. Women,
perhaps, form the greatest number OF
| victims. because they frequently go
.&
| down to the river to draw water.
Toward evening usually q process
sion Of women and girls make their
way down to the Enclosures with huge
jars upon their heads or under their
arms. much as you have seen in Bible
pictures. They wade out into the
water.
Suddenly one gives a gasp and a
scream. a scaly head energies from
the brownish yellow fluid, and like q
flash the victim is dragged under. The
swirling cddies are tinged with Grim
SOIL. and then all is still.
The monster holds his victim under
Mater for four or FIVE minutes until
every movement has ceased. Then the
crocoaile-he is probably is feet in
lcngth-swims to the other side of the
river. or at all events higher up past
the village. lands with the body Of his
victim and proceeds to devour it.
