"NINETY-THREE''
The Story of a Famous Name
and How 1t Originated

The foremost dermatologist in

discovered that a microbe caused bald
ness. To prove their theory, DR.. Sa-
bourand infected a guinea pig with
some of these microbes and in a COM
para ratively short time the animal was
denuded of every hair that was on its
body
Some eminent histologists and chem
lists were employed by the United Drug
Co, Boston. Mass, to find the means OF
destroying these microbes and rem

hair where the hair roots had not been
entirely destroyed
After months of study experiment.

son suffering from falling hair and
badness. Each of these 100 persons
was furnished three bottles OF the
preparation with a request to give 1t
a thorough trial and report results.
Five OF these people failed to report.
Two declared they had been bald for
years; that their hair follicles had long
been closed, and their scalps were
smooth and glossy.
Ninety-three of the 100 sent in en-

ARGENTINE ANTS
INVADE BERKELEY
Large Colony Discovered by
University Entomologist in
Business Center of City

BERKELEY, July 1.-The Argentine
ant, the dreaded pest of the southern
states and South America, which has
caused considerable damage in East
Oakland, has reached Berkeley, accord
ing to an announcement made by Prof.
Charles w. Woodwork, head of the de-
partment of entomology of the univer-
sity, today. The savant had been ex-
pecting the insect to reach this city
and had predicted that it would easily
travel here in five years.
He now believes that through some
agency it has been accidentally brought
to Berkeley and that the residents, un-
less they take rigorous measures, will
be greatly troubled by the sharp
toothed ant.
FOUND IN CENTRAL BLOCK
Attention was brought to the ants
presence in Berkeley by residents in
the block bounded by Telegraph ave-
nue., Bancroft way, Dana street and
Durant avenue. In fthis block are sit
uated several big hotels as we'll as fine
homes, fraternity houses and business
places.
SO far Professor Woodworth has dis
covered the ants occupying about an
morning to apply vigorous methods to
exterminate them. He will place in
and about their habita tions arsenic and
other poisons.
Small quantities of the poisons will
be used so that the ants will carry it
back to their homes instead of dying
immediately without spreading the
poison to the entire colony.
FIRST FOUND IN OAKLAND
The Argentine ant was first noticed
In this portion of the state in East
Oakland last year. The university at
once established a laboratory there and
greatly assisted the residents in fight
ing the pest.
Professor Woodwork last year pre-
dlcted that the ant would travel
through Oakland and reach Berkeley
in at least five years. He believes that
the insect has been accidentally trans
ported to this city by some carrier and
that it is now here to develop and
coloniZe.
He has summoned several entomolo-
gists to aid him in fighting the pest.
The merchants of the Bancroft Way
and Telegraph Avenue association will
probably take up the fight, which af-
fects the district in which the members
have business houses.
