The house and senate will investi-
gate the state institutions in diner
ent manner. The senate has so FAR
refused to concur In the plans OF the
house and will send its committee on
finance and appropriations to make the
Investigations. In the house no plan
has been arranged, but from the re-
cent action it looks as II about all the
institutional committees will make the
trips at one time or another. One
committee was specially appointed to
go to Ionia to investigate criminal
there, while the university committee
has overruled the, speaker and Will
make trip to Ann Arbor. The Jack
son prison committee has made plans
to investigate that institution at pri-
vate expense. and 1t is only a ques-
ton OF time when the balance OF the
committees will get around the early
anti-junket resolution and take a trip
to some part of the state.

Pay of the employees of the legisla-
ture is, tied up and will remain so
until the supreme court acts. The
fight between Speaker Baker and the
employees over the seven days a week
proposition reached a climax when
the house passed in face of the speak
er's. opposition a resolution allowing
the employees pay for seven days In
the week Then the speaker sat back
and remarked that he should obey
the law rather than the legislature
and refused to sign the payroll until
the supreme court had ordered him
TO. Therefore the only way the en-
ployes have of getting their pay is
to m'andamus Baker and fight the
case in the court. '''

Oh. You Doctors.

Moberly, Mo-, October 1.-THE
Doctors Association of Moberly,
numbering eighteen physicians, has
formed a union and revised its sched-
ule Of prices upward, the same going
into effect October /.
The agreement of the doctors is
under eight heads, and the prices
charged are enough to make all boy
colt the sick list. According to the
revised schedule, it is much cheaper
to be sick in the daytime than at
night, and it is also cheaper to get
sick within the city limits than it is
few feet over the line.
The physicians, as an evidence Of
their sincerity and their intention
to abide by the rules and adhere
strictly to the scale OF prices, agree
to impose fine of not less than 81 S
upon each one found guilty of break
ing the agreement, nor more than
sIoo for each ofense.
The prices are so fixed that each
physician gets the same pay for each
class of visit and kind of attention.
Among their agreements is one for
bidding the use of physicians name
by the newspapers except to state
that "a local physician was cailcc
in"
WON'T EVEN TREAT THE "DEvlL.'
Should the newspapers use th'
name of physician called in spec

SAVE THE HAIR
Nswbro's Herpicide viii Do It.

No woman should have poor, thin,
scraggy hair, and no man need become
bald. Poor hair and final badness are
due to the dandruff germ.
Newbro's Herpicide will destroy this
little germ and stop the hair from
falling. Further evidence of this is
found in a letter from Mrs. F. Nielsen,
of Tomah, Wis. She says: II fought
the worst kind of dandruff for nine
years. / have been using Herpicide
now one week, and my scalp is healthy,
the dandruff has gone and the itching
has stopped. 1t is the best remedy for
scalp diseases I ever saw, and I have
seen many"
Don't subject yourself to disappoint-
ment and expense by accepting some
thing claimed to be Just as good" as
Newbro's Herpicide. These off brands
may possibly be good, but why take
chances? The genuine and original
dandruff germ destroyer can always be
obtained. If your own druggist has
nothing but lust as good" articles, go
to D'Alemberte's Pharmacy, our special
agent, who will furnish you with New
bros Herpicide and guarantee one dol
lar size bottles. 1t stops itching OF
the scalp almost instantly.

COMP ANY
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS WILL
BE COMPLETED AND FINAL Or
GANIzATIoN EFFECTED AT AR
MoRY HALL TONIGHT.

The new military company is to be
mustered in tonight at armory hall and
the boys are all requested to be there
at 1880 sharp.
In order to facilitate matters and
save time about half Of the members
underwent their physical examination
last night and the balance will be ex-
amined tonight. DR.. Mallory Kennedy
was appointed as medical examiner
and he takes the weight and makes
the measurement and physical exam
ination of each applicant for member
ship. All of the boys examined last
night were in excellent physical con-
dition.
The company will be mustered in by
Col. Frank L. Mayee and Col. r. NJ
Cary, acting under appointment by Ad-
jutant General ]. c. r. Foster.
Indications now point to the organ
ization of two companies. The appli-
cations for membership in the first
company are considerably more than
the maximum number allowed. If
there should be more present tonight
than can be mustered in, the excess
will go to make up the nucleus for a
second company. All of the boys are
urged to be present at 1880 sharp.
