ONLY TOO ANXIOUS
TO RETRACE STEPS
Aldermen But Awaiting Chance to Re.
consider Obnoxious Telephone
Ordinance.

The Argus spoke yesterday of the
prospect of two aldermen moving a re-
consideration of the vote by which the
obnoxious Central Union telephone or
dinance was railroaded through the
council last Monday night From later
conversation with some of the alder
men who voted in the affirmative it
looks as if there would be scramble
to retrace the step at the earliest OPP
portunity and TO prevent anyone instru-
mental in forcing the passage of the
ordinance escaping a share of the cen
sure.
So that the present prospects are
that. unless the mayor attempts the
grand stand act by bobbing in with his
veto at the very outset and before it
is in order. at the next council meeting
he may find it unnecessary.

WASHING WITHOUT WATER
Is Like Trying to Get Rid of Dandruft
Without Herpicide.

Did you ever see any one trying to
wash themselves without soap or wa
ter?
If you did what would you say of
him?
1t is every bit as foolish to try to
get rid of dandruff and to prevent bald
ness by feeding the germs which cause
it, with canthrarides, vaseline. glycer-
inc and similar substances which form
the principal ingredients of most so
called hair vigors.
Newbro's Herpicide is successful be-
cause it attacks and kills the parasite
