Some interesting data concerning the
value of oil in the making of good
roads appeared in a Kansas expert
ment station bulletin. An evenly
graded stretch of sandy loan road a
quarter Of mile long and thirty feet
wide was sprayed with an oil residue
or residuum. 4 dust mulch about four
inches deep had formed on this road
and had caused almost cessation Of
traffic. The road was first plowed TO a
depth of four and One-half inches and
then thoroughly pulverized with a har-
row. Oil TO the extent Of one gallon
per square yard was then sprinkled
and narrowed in. after which the road
was fOated. The road was closed to
traffic for a week after this treatment.
The effect OF freezing weather on the

MAT HAVE TO PAY
STATE FOR CIGARS
and Chewing GUM
Trustees Who Used Public Funds To
Supply These Articles May Be
Asked to "Come Across"

Jackson, Miss, Sept. 17.-When the
expert accountant makes his report
on the state institutions, which in
cludes the A. &c NJ. College and the
University, it is just possible the old
trustees of those institutions, who
spent the states money for cigars
and chewing gum will be requested
10 settle with the state for the money
so spent.
The Governor has made no COM
ment on the report coming from Ok
ford and Starkville about this matter.
but Attorney General Hudson has
stated that if the report shows that
the states money was spent for chew
ing gum and cigars the trustees
should be made to refund it. B He
even went so far as to state that he
would, if the report shows the trus-
tees bought cigars and chewing gum
with the states money. enter suit, if
necessary, to recover.
When the report of the expert &C.
countant is made, it will show how
far back this custom extends. 1t is
said to cover period of six years,
ending when Governor Noel secured
the enactment of law abolishing the
old boards and turning the state in
situations over to one board of seven
members. The custom may extend
back even further than that, but if it
does, all former members of the old
boards will be required to pay their
share Of the money so spent.
The report has created considerable
as we'll as amazement in
state house circles, and all are won
dering just how much of the states
money was spent for these Injuries.

men OLD At So
One Million Bald Heads Who Thouqht
Dandruff Wasn't Dangerous.

In the United States and Canada
today there are nearly million men
who at 35 can be put in the baldhead
class.
When these men had thick vigorous
hair, dandruff made its appearance.
That was the time to attack the
enemy of mankind-the persistent
little devil called a dandruff microbe,
or germ that burrows deep down into
the hair root and saps it of the vitali-
ty that is so essential to the hair.
Young men or any man, for that
matter, beware of the dandruff germ;
it is not a theory, but an actual condi-
ton that confronts you. That dan
druff is caused by germ, is proven
beyond question. That this germ de-
stroys the hair root is today matter
of common knowledge.
The Owl Drug Store has the remedy
that kills the dandruff germs. They
guarantee it to eradicate dandruff,
stop falling hair and itching scalp in
two weeks or money back. 1t is call
ed PARTISAN SAGE, and can be OBJ
tanned at druggists in every town in
America-ask the Owl Drug Store for
