KEEP YOUR HEAD UNCOVERED
The Constant Wearing of Hat Propo-
gates Dandruff Germs.

There are many men who wear their
hats practically all the time when
awake, and are blessed with a heavy
shock of hair; yet if the scalps of
these same men once became infested
with dandruff germs, the parasites
would multiply all the quicker for lack
of air. Badness would ensue as the
final result. Newbro's Herpicide kills
these germs and stimulates unhealthy
hair to abundant growth. Herpicide
is pleasant hair dressing as we'll as
a dandruff cure and contains not an
atom of injurious substance. Sold by

Navy as a Career

To be an officer in the United States
Navy is to have one IS future provided
for with certainty, as long as the re-
quired standards of good conduct and
efficiency are. maintained The pay is
not great, but it is sure and is raised
steadily as the years pass by. Entering
the service as a midshipman at $500
a year, or as an assistant paymaster or
assistant surgeon, say at about $1,000,
the officer has an increase of pay for
each advance in rank and for each FIVE
years of service in each grade, pro-
vided the additional pay for longevity
does not exceed 40 per cent. of the
regular pay of the grade. A Rear-Ad-
miral receives $500 a year. Besides
the pay, there are allowances for quar-
tiers, when not provided by the Gov,
eminent, and various other small emolu-
ments.
When ineapacitated by injury or dis
ease, or upon reaching the age of 81
years, the naval officer is retired, with
rs per cent. of the pay of his grade
when retired, for the rest of his life.
But aside from the financial aspect
of it, the naval life has many attrac-
tions. True, it is a life of constant
| exaeting duties, separation from family
and home, hardship and danger, and
stern discipline, but it takes one all
| over the world, offers an honorable
career, guarantees its followers social
and official recognition of the highest
everywhere, and has variety and en-
tertainment in plenty. 1t has its ro
! mantle and picturesque sides as well
| as it's adventurous and trying. As long
as an officer is not dismissed by sen.
| tence of court-martial for gross mis-
| conduct, he is provided for for the rest
of his days, with a comfortable income
and need have no cares for the future.
|, The same things are generally true,
although in lesser degree, of the enlisted
man. Under the law he must be re-en-
| listed, upon presentation of an honor
able discharge, if he presents himself
| to a recruiting officer within four
months from the date of his discharge.
| He, too, has life position if he wants
| it, and may retire after 80 years con-
| tinuous service with three-quarters pay
| of his last rating. His food, lodging
and medical attendance are furnished
| free, as well as his first outfit of cloth
ing. He is paid in cash all the way
from $40 month for an apprentice,
to SO month for a chief petty officer,
in addition to which there are extras
for each re-enlistment, for marksman-
ship and for medals of honor From
chief petty officer he NAV be advanced
to the rank of warrant officer, with
pay from $1,000 TO $2,100 a year. and
he may even, by extraordinary atten-
ton to duty and hard study, be pro-
NOTED to be regularly commissioned
officer, with the highest ranks open to
him. He is we1l-fed, well treated as
long as he behaves himself, and has
plenty of amusements. There are no
strikes and no lock-outs, and if injured
in the line of duty, he receives a PEN
sion for the rest of his life.
Life in the navy is a liberal educa-
ton, and teaches the value of self-re-
lance and wise self-restraint.
