.XGRTNDING
Science With Some Deaiers--
Done at the Expense of
the Public

There is nothing "just as good" as
Newbro's Herpicide. Some dealers
will even GO SO far as to tell you they
have something better.
That dealer has an axe to grind
You can't stop his grinding. but you
can prevent him grinding it at your
expense.
There is one sure, swift way to do
it.
Go where you can get what you ask
for.
You won't be obliged to do this very
often, as fortunately the majority of
druggists are honest and conscientious
Newbro's Herpicide has been soSlong
and favorably known as the original
dandruff germ destroyer that no one
should be deceived.
When you need hair remedy, YOU
don't want one which merely promises
to kill the dandruff germ and prevent
the hair from falling.
You want one that will do it.
Herplcide does it.
The hair becomes soft and lustrous
mere IS Ire, snap and beauty where
formerly the hair was dead, dull and
brittle
Newbro's Herpicide is sold and guar
anteed by all druggists.
Applications OF this wonderful prophy-
tactic may be obtained at the best bar

Not two per cent. of the Il 100000
Frenchmen and Frenchwomen who are
entitled to register for benefits under
the National Old Age Pension Law,
adopted last year have done so. The
working classes whom the law was
designed to aid have as body ig-
nored it. The last day fixed by the
Ministry of Labor for those now en-
titled to enter themselves is May 10.
out of 10000 persons at Rennes coming
within the operations of the statute.
800 have taken papers; at Limoges Is
out of 80. 900. In Marseilles about l5,+
900 have applied out of a possible l50,-
900. and at Epernay 1900 out of 5000.
The Ministry of Labor has announc-
ed that since the law is compulsory
those abstaining must ultimately COM
ply and that they are only placing
themselves az disadvantage by de-
lay The mayors in many munieipali-
ties have written the officers of the
trades unions asking their infiueace in
persuading registration.
One principal reason for treating the
old age pension scheme with indiffer-
ence is that the pensions beginning at
man close to that age now will be en-
titled to 500 year The person who
reaches o. after the tenth year of the
laws operation will receive about
500, in the thrtieth year of the law
the pension will he $500, in the for
| tieth, $500. The highest possible per-
sion received by those who begin con-
| tributng at sixteen will be about SSl
| year.
| The contributions likewise, are small.
Men pay 81 so yearly. women, l.20 and
boys under eighteen 80 cents. Employ
ers pay the same sums, and the State
also contributes.
The general council of the depart
ment of Haute Vienne has voted to
paw the contributions of all workmen
| i'm the civil administration and repay
the contributions already made by
such workmen. This course, it is ex-
pected, will be followed by other de-
| paftments.
| Another reason for refusal to accept
the law is the fact that people doubt
the governments ability to care for
the money properly. The peasants
particularly prefer to have the money
| in an old stocking to risking it with
the government to be repaid in pel-
| sion many years hence

The public have been learning some

meaning that before the issue of the
writ for the election, he may spend
all the money he 9leases to further his

rather heavy budget, as besides sub

Tartar general. the admiral in chief,

demanding elaborate explanations.
After the flights there was a rush back
to the city, in the course of which
there was some firing resulting in the
