 DandruR is Eradlcnted.

Sealskin is admired the world over for It's softness and glossiness; and yet the human hair is equally as soft and glossy when healthy; and the radical cause of all hair trouble is dandruff, which is caused by a pestiferous parasite that saps the vitality of the hair at its root. Newbros Herpicide is the only preparation that is fatal to the dandruff germ. Without dan druff there is no falling hair, but lux uriant growth of glossy. soft hair is cer- tain.

There was a horse transaction di- Xulned when the bills were presented

There was a horse transaction di- Vulged when the bills were presented for the highway department which showed dealings with Gypsey Stanley in which @ pair of the town horses were traded and the town paid boot"
 Councilman Scanlon asked if these horses were actually purchased and if so by whom and by what authority.
 Councilman Langworthy replied that he had made the purchase, but not until after he had consulted with all the members except Scanlon.
 Councilman ScanlOn stated that he was within easy reach and that it was evident the trade was to 70 through without his knowledge. He did know however, that a local horse dealer had a better pair of horses, adapted for the towns use, than the pair bought from the gypsey and that they could have been had for S10O less than had been paid. This horse dealer is a heavy taxpayer and the councilman said he considered it an outrage for the town 8 representatives to make the purchase from an outsider without even con- sulting the local dealer. Councilman Scanlon said that it looked to him like a crooked deal and on a par with the stone crusher transaction.

agreement with all property owners except MT. Chapman. All the owners waived public hearing. A
 Judge John w. Sweeney appeared for MT Chapman and stated that all his client wanted was fair treatment from the town and had no disposition to sattle unnecessary expense on the town. He had several conferences with committee, but was unable to agree as to the amount of compensa- tion. MT. Chapman fixed his damages at $500 and the committee talked $500 and that's where the matter stands at present.
 President Clark stated that in his judgment MT. Chapman had already received more for damages than all the other property owners on the Watch Hill road combined and if not another dollar was paid he would consider MT Chapman fully recompenSed. The walls and fences of the Chapman property are in better condition than before and no injury has been done the property.
 In response to a query from Council man Maxson, Councilman Langworthy said that there was an understood agreement with MT. Chapman that the sum to be paid was s275.
 Judge Sweeney stated that in addt- ton to that sum he was to have the soil and the town was to replace and rebuild the walls.
 Councilman Langworthy said that the town had paid $500 for teams in benefting the Chapman property and that he had been amply repaid for damages.
 Judge Sweeney said MT. Chapman wanted the town to do its part of the agreement and that was all.
 In response to a query from Council man Scanlon, Judge Sweeney said that Mir. Chapman's lowest figure for set tlement was $500. MT. Chapman has no feeling in the matter. If the town will do as agreed at the time the work was in progress Mr. Chapman would willingly settle on those terms. He is ready to do this now as he always has been.
 Further action on the matter was deferred.
 Edward NJ Dodge was granted per mission to connect his overflow sur- face water with the sewer in Elm street on plan like that granted Dr. and under the same condi- tons.

AERIAL ToRPEDOEs.

Aerial torpedoes are the latest horror
that is about to be added to modern
warfare. There have been submarine
mines and submarine torpedoes, smoke
less powder and noiseless guns and air
ships, but the idea of carrying $50
pounds of gun cotton 10 miles and
dropping it on the head of an ordinary
inoffensive citizen looks like crowding
the limit on modern destructiveness.
Speaking about these latest agents Of
destruction. Popular Mechanics for De-
cember says:
1.-The aerial torpedo is already in
vented and it will take another Hague
conference to prevent it's use should oc-
casion demand. 1t is nothing more nor
less than a small aeroplane carrying a
torpedo in place of an operator and pro-
vided with an automatic balance AMI
steering device to the same end as a
submarine torpedo.
1.-THE thing about the device that has
given more trouble than anything else
is getting a simple and lightweight
motor. This problem is now solved and
there is motor in the Berliner shops
that will develop II hip. on the break
and weighs only so pounds. The motor
is very simple in construction. This
first working model was not built for
light weight, especially, and it is said
that it can be cut down IL pounds
without interfering in its efficiency
when the next motor is built. The saw
ing in weight will BE- due chiefly to the
use of vanadium steel in the cylinders.
This was not available when the first
motor was constructed, but cylinders of
this material have been ordered and
will be ready for installation in the
next MOTOR

Red Cross Christmas stamps are on
sale again for the approaching holiday
season. And they provide the finest
possible medium for every man, woman
and child in the country to contribute
his or her mite to the worthiest of

OF all the societies and organizations
on the face of the earth not one is quit,
so admirable in the scope of it's work
as is the Red Cross. 1t is the first aid
to the injured wherever the hand of
calamity strikes a heavy blow.
Wherever a plague scourges, wherever
flood ravages, wherever an earth
quake scatters ruin, there is to be
found in the shortest possible time the
agents of the Red Cross equipped and
ready to render such succor as is In
their power.
Among it's many activities, and par
ticularly of that important branch of it
which is located in the United States,
is the help it is lending in the giant
conflict which is now being waged
against the dread tuberculosis, the life
sapping, death-dealing White Plague
For a time, and not so long ago, this
terrible ailment threatened almost the
very life of this nation. battle was
begun against it, and it is the opinion
of those who are qualified to express
one in the premises, that material pro-
gress has already been made in check
| ing the growth of this disease. At any
rate, it has been discovered that it is
possible to check its spread, reduce its
dangers to a minimum and perhaps
eliminate it almost entirely.
To make these possibilities realities is
now the order of the day and the
American Red Cross society is deyoting
considerable OF its energy assisting in

THE SUGAR TRUST.

Numerous pieces of information
have come from Washington of late
to the effect that the federal officials
are going to prosecute with vigor
each and every criminal act of the
Infamous sugar trust. Not only will
suits be brought to compel this scan
dalously conducted monopoly to make
full restitution to the government for
the millions and millions of dollars
out of which it has been defrauded
but it is also planned to bring GRIM
inal proceedings, in addition to those
which are now in progress in New
York city, against such officials of
this company as it is possible for the
law to lay it's hands upon.
This is just as it should be and the
people of the country will applaud
heartily if the government is success
full in bringing some of the sugar
trust magnates to full justice. A
glance at the unlawful Vaccinations
of that company which have been I'M
yelled to date and in which at least
a partial restitution has been effected
ought to be interesting. According to
a compilation on this subject by the
Chicago Tribune they are as follows:
Relating, and fined $4,000.
Stealing duties from the United
Safes, and fined $4,000.
Stealing duties from the United
States, and returning $2,100,00o to
escape legal proceedings.
Stealing water from the city of
New York, for which it subsequently
paid $4,000.
Conspiracy in connection with the
acquisition of the Pennsylvania Re-
filming company, compromising the
suit against it for 100000.
Probably no more monstrous rec
ord of fraud has ever been made by
any business concern of all time, and
this list of it's unlawful acts is really
but a mere bagatelle of what the COM
pany is alleged to have done. In fact,
some government officials are inclin-
ed to the belief that the sugar trust
has actually defrauded the federal
treasury out of no less than $136, 000,-
900 during the past dozen or fifteen
years.
other trusts and monopolistic ag-
gregations of capital have been accus-
ed of grave business crimes, such as
the suppression of competition in
varied ways, during the past decade
or two, but even their most severe
critics have never accused them of
the frauds which have been commit
ted by the sugar trust. 1t has played
the part of nothing more or less than
a downright thief of the most despic-
able sort and it and it's officials de-
serve treatment as such.
