The powder used by old Hickory In whipping the British so handsomely at New Orleans in 1915 is said to have been made with sultpeter from Man. moth cave. AS early as 1900 Mir. Fowler obtained. lt is said, 100000 pounds of hitter from the twenty-eight limestone caverns that had then been discovered in Kentucky.

Why Toast Ia Popular.

The increasing popularity of toast says the London Lancet, Is somewhat interesting fact In that it possibly indi- cates that, after all. the public resents the insipidity of modern bread. Roller milling as now practiced, which Is alto gether different from the old method )f grinding wheat between stones, leads to the elimination of the germ of the wheat The peculiar nutty flavor of the old fashioned loaf was due per haps to the retention of this germ.

 If there Is the slightest doubt In the minds of any that Dandruff germs do not exist, their belief Is compelled by the fact that a rabbit lnnoculated with the germs became bald in six weeks time' It must be apparent to any person therefore that the only prevention of badness Is the destruction of the germ which act is successfully accomplished in one hundred per cent. of cases by the application of Newbro's Herpicide, Dandruff Is caused by the same germ which causes badness and can be pre- vented with the same remedy-NeWoro's , Herpiclde.
