Facts About the American Indian
Healthy Hair.

The American Indian accustomed
from time immemorial to go bare
headed in all kinds of weather is never
troubled with falling hair or baldnefs.
The close atmosphere caused by our
civilized headgear is condV i've to
the breeding of infuitesimal germs
which dig into the scalp and thrive on
the sap of the hair-root.
This true cause of badness is OF
recent discovery and explains the non
success Of all haiF-vigors which treat.
ed badness as a fupctional disorder.
Newbro's Herpioide is a direct ex-
terminator of the germa ut destroys
the cause and permits the hair TO
grow as nature intended.

While the world at large has gained

had chosen to adopt 1t as his calling.
would probably have been the greatest
actor Of his time. None who had the
good fortune to see the plays in which
he acted can forget his mastery of
stage technique. None who can re-
member his readings can forget his
vivid and lifelike powers Of character
ization. Comedy and tragedy. humor
and pathos, each came readily within
his means. BY his mastery Of the
actors art terror, tears and laughter
were compelled at his command as
by his pen he compelled them in his
writings.-John Hare.
