THE MICROSCOPE.
Proves That Parasites Cause Hair
Loss.

Nine-tenths of the diseases of the
scalp and hair are caused by para
site germs. The Importance OF this
discovery by Professor Unna, of the
Charity Hospital, Hamburg, Ger
many, can not be overestimated. II
explains why ordinary hair prepare
tons, even of the most expensive
character fail to cure dandruff; be-
cause they do not, and they can not
kill the dandruff germ. The only
hair preparation in the world that
positively destroys the dandruff para
sites that burrow up the scalp into
scales called scurf or dandruff, is
Newbro's Herpicide. In addition to
it's destroying the dandruff germ
Herpicide Is also a delightful hair

Then, too, the farmers institutes in
the several states will become sub
sidiary distributing points for reels.
1t is a brand new idea in the cam
paign which the department has been
waging for years to educate the
farmer. Not only that, but it is a
brand new idea for any government
to own a motion picture
machine or loan films. The navy de-
partment, it is true. has for some
time been making use of motion
pictures to portray life aboard ship,
in their campaign for recruits to
the naval service. The assumption
was that the pictures-which were
taken by concern principally
known for its production of 'popu-
lar" reels-would excite the interest
of young men as a truthful portrayal
of life on the oundlng ocean wave.
The pictures were shown in connec-
ton with a lecture given y re-
oruiting officer. That they have been
eminently successful is beyond a.
doubt. Still. the navy department
wasn't actually in the business of
making the pictures. The depart
ment OF agriculture is.

Animals Are Poor sailors

The polar bear is the only wild an
imal that likes trip on the water
according to a French scientist who
has studied its behavior at sea. He
is quite jolly when aboard ship. but
all other animals violently resent
such voyage and vociferously give
vent TO their feelings until seasick-
ness brings silence.
The tiger suffers most Of all. He
whines pitifully, his eyes water con-
tinuaIly and he rubs his stomach
with his terrible paws. Horses are
bad sailors and often die on a sea
voyage.
Oxen are heroic in their attempts
not to give way to sickness. Ele-
plants do not like the sea, but they
are amenable to medical treatment.
A good remedy is bucketful of hot
water containing three and one-half
pints OF whisky and seven ounces OF
quinine. Fur News.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Bureau of the United Press,
Washington-The United States De
partment of Agriculture is in the
moving picture business.
Now that it operates, or contem-
plates operating, a string of five
lcent theatres, nor syndicate" films
whereupon are depicted everything
from slap-stick comedies to sobby
sentimentalities, nor hopes to give
the Great American Farmer the up
, lift in the drama via the motion pic
lture route-not by any means. The
department is simply entering the
field because far-sighted Uncle
'Tama Jim" Wilson, secretary of
agriculture, believes he can by its
aid bring home to the farmers of the
country tho necessity for modern
methods in agriculture.
1t has always been hard to make
the farmers of the country under
stand from mere description how to
handle their crops in this new era
of agriculture, The average man on
the farm doesn't take kindly to ad-
vice he hears or reads-he wants
proof of the .soundness or things. He
sticks to the old ways until he ac-
tually sees the advantage OF the
new.
1t Is for this reason that the de-
|partment is now adopting the mo-
ton picture machine to educate the
farmer. Films will be made at the
various experiment stations through
out the country, showing the new
order of things in the way of pre-
pairing the land, planting. cultivat-
ing, harvesting and handling Of the
crop, how to make roads, how to
breed cattle, horses, sheep. and farm
animals, and the thousand and one
tasks that occupy farmers. BY ex-
,hibiting these films at popular meet
Iings of farmers all over the country.
the department hopes 20 give them
actual, visual, convincing proof that
the old order changeth. giving place
to new, and that the new agricul-
ture means better crops, better
farms, better roads, ana better ami
mails.
A cooperative arrangement is now
| I'm formation, whereby the depart
ment will send its moving picture
talking machine to the various ex-
pertinent stations throughout the
country and there photograph the
operations on these model farms.
The films will be developed at Wash
ingtoIt, and duplicates will be furn-
ished to such of the farmers or
CARNATIONS as desire them, for ex-
hibit at agricultural meetings-the
experimental farms, state institutes,
and other semi-governmental agen-
cies owning the machines which re-
produce the films.
In this way the department OF
agriculture will soon be a sort OF
clearing house of films on agrlcul-
tural subjects-a sort of moving
picture syndicate, which will produce
and distribute films for exhibition
among farmers all over the country,

NO CONVICTION IN
CONTRIBUTING CASES.

Although a large per cent of coun-
terfet money that was turned loose
in Paducah was passed August 10,

ed with trying to pass a bad dollar

Tenth and Broadway. Several wit
nesses testified to having seen Hop
wood pass "phony" dollars, but no
lconvicting evidence could be gather
ed. He was represented by Attorney
Hazelip and Duiguld. They intro
duced evidence to show that the de
PENDANT was member of the Y. NJ.

lceipts OF his to that effect.

London. Aug. 1.-THE commons
unanimously passed the second read
ing Of the South African legislation
bill tonight. In the course of the
debate, ex-Premier Balfour said the
house, in dealing with the question
of legislation for the federation of
the South African colonies-Trans-
vaal, Cape Colony, Orange River
State and Natal-was discussing one
of the most important events in the
History OF the British empire.
The bill, he declared. was a most
wonderful issue from all controver-
sizes, battles, bloodshed and difficult
ties to peace. and he believed the
world could not show anything like
ii.
The race problem, Balfour said,
was but a fractional part of the
great questions parliament was now
deciding, He strongly denied it was

We're concerned, II would be impos-

placed omcer Wheels in this terri
tory In order to check the unhealthy

abuttlng on the levee, was given the
floor after DR. Sights finished and
said that the city street department

and having a penalty OF a large
fine The vote for the ordinance was
unanimous.
Another item OF importance was
presented TO the council by the
health officer relative to the exist
ence OF a pond in Little's Addition

if the city would back the health
board the trouble could be abated.
lie said some time ago he wrote Mr..
Little asking him 20 an up the pond
on account OF the unsanitary oondi-
ton and in reply Mr.. Little asked
that the city make him a promise
that II he filed Il up there would be
no other requests for him to make
improvements hereafter. He said
he filed the pond up a few years ago
and had gone to considerable ex-
pense. Dr. sights said II Mr.. Little
had adopted an under drainage in
stead OF surface drainage there
would be no reason TO ask for addi-
ton Improvements. Many COM
plants have come In from the resi-
dents of that section against the
pond.

decided to Investigate the old project
of bringing water by a huge irriga-
ton ditch from the Spokane river,
near its confluence with the Column
bia, and to ascertain why that pro-
iect had been abandoned. II that
plan does not prove feasible an effort
will be made to raise sufficient funds
to drill for artesian water.
The land it is proposed to irrigate
lies 1875 feet above sea level, but 1t
is believed that it would be unneces-
sary to drill to sea level for water.
Those who have drilled wells have in
variably been able to get an album
dant supply at IT'S to $50 feet.
1t is not considered practicable to
use water from Moses lake, as it
would require a rise Of some 20 feet

NORTH COAST SUR
VEI0RS BUSY
CAMP AT COLUMBIA SIDING. RUT
SURVEYING PARTIES ARE
NEARING MALAGA ON BOTH
SIDES OF THE RIVER.

Engineer r. A. Hollenbeck, having
in charge the surveying crews located
south of Wenatchee, was in the city
yesterday. The North Coast survey
ing crews now have their camp at
Columbia Siding, but are rapidly run
ming the lines on both sides of the
river and are pretty close to Malaga,
The people of Wenatchee and the
Columbia river basin are very hope
full that the North Coast means to
build up the river. AS has been
stated in the Daily World before the
surveys are very complete and are
final The main line of the North
Coast runs from Spokane to Yakima
with a crossing twelve miles below
Beverly on the Columbia. From the
bridge two lines are being run up
both sides of the Columbia river to
Wenatchee. 1t emanates from those
high in authority in North Coast rail-
road circles that the line on the east
side of the Columbia will be followed
up to point near Rock Island. A
crossing will be made there and from
the bridge line will run on the west
side of the river to Wenatchee. As
to the further purpose of this COM
pany it is not known but it is not
thought that Wenatchee will be the
terminal point, but rather that he
road will continue on up the Column
bia on the west side. AS to the time
of building nothing definite is known
but in view of the fact that the thor
oughness of the survey it is thought
that actual construction work will
probably begin this fall. The chief
engineer of this road is expected in
the city within a few days and it is
possible that something further will
