less suffering from dandruff The
dandruff germ is digging up your
scalp in little flakes, called dandruff
and sapping the life of the hair bulb.
No hair preparation that is mere
hair stimulant and tonic will cure
dandruff, because it won't kill the
germ that causes the trouble. New
bros Herpicide is the latest scientific
discovery; and it will kill the dandrun
germ. Destroy the cause, and you re-

you will have no more dandruff, fall

The area of high pressure along the
mountain slope has gained strength
causing a fall of temperature in that
section and slightly lower tempera-
lures over the Pacific Northwest. Fair
weather prevailed over the northern
part of the Pacific slope but the de-
preston off the California coast has
caused rain and snow in California
Utah, Nevada and Arizona. Light
snow occurred in portions of the
Rocky mountain states and iN the
Lake region. 1t is warmer in the south
