SCIENCE SCORES AGAIN.
A Preparation That Will Destroy the
Dandruff Germ Discovered.

Finally the scientific student has dis
covered a certain remedy for dandruff.
When it first became known that dan
druff is the result of germ or para
site that digs into the scalp and saps
the vitality of hair at the root, causing
falling hair and badness, biologists
set to work to discover some prepare
ton that will klll the germ. After a
years labor in one laboratory, the
dandruff germ destroyer was discover
ed; and it is now embodied in New
bros Herpicide. 1t prevents badness,
stops falling hair and speedily Grad
icates dandruff. Destroy the cause,
you remove the effect" Sold by lead

Do Not Crowd the Season.

The first warm days of spring bring
with them a desire to get out and
enjoy the sunshine. Children that
have been housed up all winter are
brought out and you wonder where
they all came from. The heavy winter
clothing is thrown aside and many
shed their fiannels. Then a cold wave
comes and people say that grip is cpl
demic. Colds at this season are even
more dangerous than in mid-winter, as
there is much more danger of pneu-
monia. Take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy, however. and you will have
nothing to fear. 1t always cure, and
we have never known a cold to re-
suit in pneumonia when it is used. 1t

had been standing there alone about
five minutes, intently watching the set
of the sea, so as to determine the best
time for lowering a boat, when, amid
the sustained shrek of the wind and
the flashing of the spray, he heard
sounds which told him that the for

outward on the davits. The hurricane
deck was mass of confused figures

that the men in the leading boat were
too anxious to clear the falls and fail

heavy craft pitched sternforemost in
to the sea. She sank like q stone, and
with her went n number of Chileans.
Their despairing yells, coming up from
the churning froth, seemed to be a
signal for the demoniac passions latent
in the crew to burst forth again, this
time in a consuming blaze that would
not be stayed. Each man fought blind

Pride of race helped these men to
talk as collectedly as if the ship We're
laid alongside Thames wharf. They
knew not the instant the Kansas might
lift again and turn turtle, yet they did
not dream of deyiating hairs breadth
from their duties. The second officer
went aft to carry out the captains
instructions Courtenay followed lit
tie way, passing to leeward of the
chart house until he reached his own
quarters. There was no door on that
side, but light streamed through a cou
pie of large portfolios across which the
curtains had not been drawn. He
looked in. Elsie was leaning against
the table to balance herself on the slop-
ing deck. She held Joey in her arms.
She seemed to be talking to the dog,
who answered in his own way by try
ing to lick her face. The glass was so
blurred that Courtenay could not see
that she was crying.
Better wait" he muttered and turn
ed his gaze seaward again. Yes, there
could be no doubt that the almost I'M

! leagth of the ship promised posi-
bility of escape. There was no tell
ing what dangers lay beyond. To his
reckoning. the nearest land was TWEEN

might extend all the way, and. with a

MINNESOTA DEFEATS CARLISLE
Indians Are Completely Outclassed by
the Brilliant Work of the Go
pher Team.

Minneapolis, Nov "a. - Northrop
field was the scene yesterday of prob
ably the most signal triumph of Uni
versity Of Minnesota football team,
when the Gophers defeated the famed
Indians of Carlisle by score of II to
6. Twice defeated this season and
hardly counted as factor in the game
with the tricky redskins, the Gophers
developed a new game of offense that
completely swamped their opponents.
The score Is not representative of the
merits of the two teams as they play
ed Saturday, for Carlisle was COM
pletely Outclassed.
When time was called and another
touchdown only six inches away,
Gopher enthusiasts in the stands
broke into delirious shouts of joy.
Minnesota scored first, and although
Carlisle tied the county before the
first half was ended, Minnesota dem
onstrated superiority of attack and de-
Tense that left the crowd GREATNESS to
know how badly the Indians would be
beaten.
Then with the opening of the Sec
ond half Pettijohn's beautiful forward
passes, the brilliant rushes around
the ends by Lyle Johnston and the ter
rifle line plunges of Plankers drove
the Carlisle defense back to it's goal
line and Minnesota scored the winning
touchdown.
Working like a we'll drilled machine
the Gophers held any attempt on the
part of the invaders to threaten their
goal line, meanwhile continuing the
varied attack on the fast weakening
redskins till Carlisle was helpless and
hopelessly beaten.

WILD RIDE ON DEER'S BACK.
Superior Man Tells Amazing Story of
His Experience in the Woods.

superior wan els Amazing story OF
His Experience in the Woods.
An amazing experience while hunt
ing is related by Henry Tinker, bar
Der of Superior, who, with party of
friends, returned Saturday from an
expedition into the country in search
of deer.
The party had left camp and was
going farther into the woods in trace
of the willy animals. They had gone
some distance when Mr.. Tinker stop
ped to take a bite to eat from the
luncheon be had with him. While do
ing so an Infatuated buck dashed from
out of the underbrush and bounded in
the direction of the hungry hunter.
One Look at the mad rushing beast
and Mr.. Tinker turned and with as
much quickness as possible climbe'
to the top of a small tree, the deer
close at his heels. The buck, foiled il
his apparent scheme for revenge, paw
ed at the earth at the roots of the
tree until the tree gave way and the
frightened hunter fell squarely on the
back of the animal. This seemed to
arouse the buck more than ever, and
he started off at eXpress-train speed,
Mr. Tinker hanging on for dear life.
Remembering razor he had with
him, Mr. Tinker drew it from its scab-
bard and with all the strength he
could muster cut the throat of the
giant buck. The deer bounded in the
air and then fell to the ground dead.
The carcass was dragged to the camp
and disposed of by the hunters before
returning to the city.-W.
