1t is the rarest thing in the world for
q man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots, need
be bald If he. will use Newbros Herpi-
eide. the new scalp antiseptic. Herpi-
eide destroys the germ that cuts the hair
off at the root; and cleans the scalp OF
dandruff and leaves it in a perfectly
healthy condition. Mr.. Mannett, in the
Maryland Block. Butte. Mont, was en-
tirely bald. In less than a month Herpi-
eide had removed the enemies of hair
growth. and nature did it's work by coy.

YALE SOCIETIES
 TOLD TO REFORM

New Haven, June 25.-The leading point in the annual report of Direc- tor Russell H. Chittenden of the Shelf field Scientific School of Yale Univer- Sity this year is his criticism of the society system of the school, where there are six societies owning their dormitories, representing property Of great value. The fact that the school has ECw begun to build it's own dor mitories has brought the question into prominence.
 The director, referring to the prob lem, criticises severely the society sys- tenn of the school He says that the interests of the societies and scholar ship in the school are antagonistic, as is proved by the fact that a much larger number of conditions in scholar ship in proportion to numbers have been incurred by society men than by students outside of the societies. It is also proved, he says, by the fact that a good many men entering the freshman class belonging to the socie- ties are dropped at the end of the first term Or later in the year, notwith- standing that @ considerable portion of them enter the school with good or fair records in scholarships. The director says that such conditions have been demoralizing both to the individuals who have suffered the pen- atty of neglected scholarship, and oth- CTS whose standards of scholarship are indirectly affected. <
 Mir. Chittenden adds that unless a speedy solution of this problem is reached by the parties more directly interested the governing board of the Scientific School will. be compelled to exercise its power with a view to rem edying the evils which at present un- questionably exist.
 The final report of Dean Wright of the Yale academic department, closing his twenty-five years in office, has been completed. One chapter deals with the entrance examinations to Yale. He shows that there is a steady increase of candidates for admission, who offer substitutes for Greek, but he declares that men who offer Greek are the better scholars. Also that in the choices of the freshmen who can take five out of eight studies, Latin and English are the favored studies. The dean says college entrance board examinations are improving.
