SCIENCE SCORES AGAIN.
A Preparation That VIII 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 a 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 kill 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,

The Panama Canal
ansportation,

Colon, Republic of Panama. July 25.-SpeciaI correspondence of The Republican.-The Panama raijcJad can give pointers to any system Tn thc United States on the matter of hand ling a maximum of business on a minimum length of line. During the fiscal year of 1907 it handled 42i56 trains over its fifty miles of line. and when the work for the present fiscal year is summed up it will probably show that nearly 100000 trains have been handled. The Isthmian canal commission is now hauling not far from 1000 trainloads of dirt a month, and the Panama railroad is probably running fifty per cent more trains than it did a year ago. This would make oyer 5000 trains a month on d railroad only fifty miles long.
 The acquisition of the Panama rail road by the United States represents its first incursion into the field of government ownership of railroads When Uncle Sam bought the holdings of the French for $4O,000, 900 he got. among other things, the Panama rail road. Under existing laws the load could not have been operated on commercial basis except as a private the United States merely owning the stock, while an operating company, made up of government of ficials, would nave conducted its af-

THREE CURES OF
 SEVERE ECZEMA
Michigan Woman Tells Her Broth CTS Terrible Suffering with the Disease-GrandchiId and Another Baby also Permanently Cured.
CUTlCURA REMEDIES
 PROVED INVALUABLE

My brother had eczema three diff ferent summers. About the same time each summer It came out between his shoulders and down his back, and he said his suffering was terrible. He used diff ferent kinds of medicines that were said to be good for that disease, but nothing seemed to do him much good. When it came on the third summer, he bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and gave it faithful trial. Soon he began to feel better and he cured himself entirely with Cuticura and has never been bothered with eczema since. He also used Cuticura to cure bunch over his eye and atterrible corn which was so bad that he could not wear his shoe. A lady in Indiana heard of how my daugh- ter, Mrs. Miller, had cured her little son of terrible eczema by the Cuticura Remedies. This lady's little one had the eczema so badly that they thought they would lose it. She used Cutic1ra Soap and Cuticura Ointment and it cured her child entirely, and the disease never came back.

CONQUFRIN6 SOUTH
 COMES THIS MORNING
Preparations to Receive the South Delegates With Brass Band.

| There will be an irruptiOn of Smithites upon Phoenix this morn ling. From populous Pima, from the rockbound hills of Cochise, from the fertile valleys of Graham and the ore bearing regions of Gila; from
 Santa Cruz of the south and the mountain fastnesses of Pinal they come. Alone of the south. Yuma stood out against the Smithites and the delegates from that county head ed by w. E. Marvin stole into town yesterday to escape the victorious | horde.
 The southern delegates will arrive on the 7:3O train. There is some talk of the O'Neill delegates of MaricOpa meeting them with a brass band but that will be a formality rather than an expression of undying love. It is not to be regarded as an unqualified endorsement of the nomination of Mark Smith. It may be partly in pursuance of the arrangement made previous to the holding of the Mari copa convention by which the nom ination of Smith at Prescott was to be made practically unanimous.
 The faithful here also believe that when the southern delegations get in they will get some sort of line on what is to happen at Prescott be- side the nomination of Smith; some thing of the organization of the con ventiOn and the character of the plat form. They are anxious to learn how far it will diverge from the dec laration of the principles adopted by the Maricopa convention.
 The visitors this morning know precisely what will happen. if they will only tell, for they hold the whole matter in the hollow of their hands.
 For, if the southern delegates stand together, and there is little doubt that they do. all the rest of the del egates may be dispensed with.
 Together with the Yuma deelgateS and those from this county. the mem bers from the south will leave for Prescott tomorrow morning.

The intention of the United States is to maintain the Panama railroad as an adjunct to the canal. The tour ist. who. in the coming days, does not wish to spend some ten hours going through the big ditch can take a train which will carry him across in a few hours. The strategic importance of having means of rapid communication on the Isthmus is perhaps the inn polling motive of the government in preparing a modern. well-equipped permanent railroad along the canal.

LEASES HOTEL

TITUSVILLE TO The FRONT
With a Resort For Tourists and Pleas
uRe Seekers In Best Hands

MesSrs. VIM. F. Green and Geo. B.
Gale, of Atlantic City, N. j., arrived
in this city the latter part of last
week on a prospecting tour. Mr..
Green and wife spent about two
months in Titusville last season and
were charmed with this section of
Florida. Mr.. Green is an energetic
hotel man and took in the situation
here year ago at a glance.
After the Indian River hotel
changed hands this summer, the new
owners, the Titusville Hotel COM
pany, made a very attractive prop
osition to Mr.. Green to take the man.
agement of the hotel on a lease for a
term of years. The result has been
that Mr.. Green and his friend, Mr..
Gale, have spent about a week here
and have gone over the matter very
carefully. Mr.. Green will form an
operating company and open the no.
tel for the coming season.
The exterior of the building will at
once undergo all needed repairs,
painting, etc., and the interior will
practically be furnished anew
throughout.
We do not hesitate to say that fu-
ture prospects of Titusville as stop
ping place for tourists look very
bright indeed, with the chances ia
vorable that ere another year many
northern families will probably locate
their winter homes in this place.
Mr.. Gale is an experienced yachts
man and boatbuilder and will prob
ably spend most of the coming season
here looking after the entertainment
of guests on our beautiful river.
These gentlemen start home to-
day but will soon return to place the
hotel in readiness for business. The
name will be changed but has not as
yet been definitely decided upon.
Mr.. Green will give a handsome
prize to the person who will suggest
the most acceptable name for the
hotel, the contest to close Nov. LIST.
Send your suggestion to the editor of
The STAR who will forward them to
Mr.. Green.
The opening day will be widely adj
vertised in the daily papers in the
north and will be made a day of great
eclat and enjoyment for our hotel
guests and townspeOple, due an
nOuncement of which will be made in
these columns.

Lesley Replies to Moore
Editor of the FLORIDA STAR.

Editor of the FLORIDA STAR.
My attention has been called to an
article in an issue of the Advocate of
the 9th inst, written by one A. R.
Moore, in which he pretends to ex-
hibit very, very friendly feeling for
the tax payers of the county, and my
self. He does not seem to have the
manhood to mention my name, but
everyone interested knows who he
refers to. | wish to call Mr.. Moore's
attention to the fact, that two years
ago when the county was voted dry
not one word was said by either side
about expense to the tax payers on
account of holding the election, and
in all the controversy about location
of the county site not one word was
said about expense, except in so far
as building a court house and Jail, no
one seemed to question the right of
the required number of registered
voters to call these elections. They
were called as the law directs, as this
will be, if called at all. And as to
my being pensioned by the tax payers
of the county, l desire to say, that if
there were no larger tax payers in
the county than Mr.. Moore appears
to be, my pension would be small in
deed; the idea of pension must have
occurred to him from the fact that
he is a pensioner himself, either from
the government or some individual.
However, have noticed, as a rule,
those who pay the least, or no tax at
all. are generally the highest kickers,
so Mr.. Moore, shOwyou honesty and
straight fOrwardness, by letting your
name appear on the tax books, before
kicking too high. F. A. LOSLEY.
