HICKORY NUTS ARE SCARCE

Dry nuts the other day and what DO
you suppose they wanted for them?
Five dollars "a bushel. Goodness:
They ought to be as plentiful in some
parts Of the country as ever, and as
It used to be you couldn't sell them"
A south side resident expressed his
opinion Of the annual fall nut crop
recently. He has not lived in Chi
cago long. having come here about
eight years ago from small Indiana
town.
"Why. we used to so out every fall"
he continued. land we would get all
the nuts we could carry home. Shell
bark hickories, walnuts, hazel nuts.
chestnuts and 'chinkapins' used to be
so plentiful in my locality that we had
1 good store Of them every year. But
ternuts were not so thick. and we
priZed them more than all on that ac-
count. Southwest of my home town
there was a grove known as "Hlnck'
ley's woods and the boys from town
would tramp out there after the first
frost and carry back grain bags filled
with the fruit of the big trees.
Il like walnuts best Of those We
could get easiest. and my brother and
/ would take a small wagon out to
The woods and bring it back loaded
with the green barked goodies. Then
would come the hulling.
There, is only one way 10 hull val
nuts and that is TO lay the nut down
ON brick. hit it with a mallct or ham.
mer and then peel off the hull with
bare hands. We did not deign to
wear gloves, as only 'sisies' did that.
and we gloricd in the beautiful black
stain our hands used to have until al.
most Christmas. The boys would see
who could have the blacklist hands
during nutting time"

DOCTORS ENDORSE
Newbro's Herpicide.

When doctor endorses a prepara- ton it means more than an ordinary testimonial His opinion is always that of the professional man devoted to the welfare of the people
 Dr. J. J. Boyd. Covington. Tenn. says; '1 feel it my duty to write this for the benefit of those suffering from dandruff In the average case a few applications of Neworo's Hcrp- icide will remove all dandruff It is advisable to continue it's use for sev- eral weeks"
 The words of J. B. Thompson. NJ. St. Boston. Mass. arc not less en- thusiastic: "I can only speak in praise of Newbro's Herpicide. It is lil that is claimed and perhaps more. Herpicide not only cleanses the scalp. but brightens the hair. gives it life and makes it soft"
 Dr T. \. Moore. Duncan. Ariz. writes of his experience: My scalp was in places covered by patches of dry. scaly material and the itching vas incessant. Since using He-pi- eide all these evils have disappeared and mx hair is soft. smooth and growing Hair has grown on spots before but thinly covered"
 Newbro's H,rpicide is the original remedy to kill the dandruff germ and stop falling hair The terrible itching which goes with dandruff is allayed almos- It once.

NARROW ESCAPES,

Two Hair Breadth Escapes Re
corded This Morning on Streets.

Frightened over a trife. ye|
thrown into a panic two fine black
horses belonging to Nesmith and
Anders made a bold dash down
Main street Monday irtrying
to free themselves of the driver
and heavy load Of dirt which the
wagon contained.
The driver a young fellow hard
ly II years of age stood well the
test in courage and bravery. Rea-
izing that the horses were out
from his control and that unless a
quick presence of mind was used
he would be dashed to death
against the hard macadam street,
he chung to the reinS with all his
strength and managed to keep the
pair of wild steeds in the middle
of the thoroughfare until they
were tagged out. Many witnessed
the feat thinking that any mo-
ment they would see the horses
made a sudden sway freeing them
selves of the load behind possibly
resulting in death. Such was not
the case. The horses finally gave
up the task md were stopped near
the foot of the Flat Rock bridge.
The little fellow, Eugene Albright
received much praise in the man
ner in which he stuck to the run
away, finally overcoming the mad
horses which are said to have
started the fight by getting frigh-
tened from a Sudden touch of some
part of the harness on the leg.

While driving a pair of fine
black horses belonging to J. II
Jordan, Burger Station, had !,
pretty narrow escape Monday
morning.
The horses got frightened at a
stone fence near the Henderson,
vile Lumber Co., and became un-
manageable. Boiling down the
street facing Carsons store, the
wagon hit the front porch of a
negro dwelling, doing only slight
damage. Farther down the street
the wagon came in contact with a
post. The wagon was almost
completely demolished. The horses
injuries were slight. Mr.. Station
sustained only an injury on his

and she was left alone in the big

keeping did not materially aid
her in cooking. There was small
comfort of knowing the chemis-

Martin found her weepingfi in

great, strong arms to comfort her.
"Mother thought perhaps you'd

at last the tears had subsidized.
"She didn't know it was as bad
