HATS OFF
Facts About the American Indians
Healthy Hair.

Healthy Hair.
The American Indian. accustomed
from time, immemorial to go bare
headed in all kinds of weather, is
never troubled with falling hair or
badness.
The close atmosphere caused by our
Civilized headgear is conducive to
the breeding of infinitesimal germs
which dig into the scalp and thrive on
the sap of the hair root.
This true cause of badness is of re-
cent discovery and explains the nom
success of all hair vigors which treat
ed badness as functional disorder.
Newbro's Herpicide is a direct ex-
terminator of the germ. 1T destroys
the cause and permits the hair to
grow as nature intended.

OBITUARY

ON May the 3Oth, 1910, Josie |
Kilbourn fell asleep aged "a
years. She was the wife of II !
+. Kilbourn, Elder of the
Church of Christ at st. Charles,
Va. She was married TO broth
er Kilbourn in 1898, and until
death. was most dev Oted
companion. At the age of iG
she was converted and was
baptized by brother Jackson
Carter. Much could be said of
her Christian life, of her godly
walks, of her meek and submits
sive spirit, of her intense love
for her Master. but il all might
be expressed in the words of
Paul's confession: Il am cru
Gifted with Christ: nevertheless
| live: yet not /, but Christ
/ liveth IN me; and the life | now
live in the flesh, | live by the
faith of the Son of God who low
ed me and gave himself for me. 3"
Hers was "a beautiful life, and
it's secret was that Christ lived
lin her. She ever manifested
the Spirit of her Master in deeds
of love and of kindness. She
triumphed in life and in death.
In her last hours, as the light of
life began To fade, and the
night of death began TO cast its
chilly shadows over her, she
talked much of the crossing
saying, Il am ready TO 60;
am not afraid TO die; don'i
think that / am afraid" And
IA she would talk thus, hel
spirit would become rapturous
and her countenance wouiC

Perhaps few knew that the
