the Germ and Save Your
Hair.--Newbro's Herpi-
eide Will Do 1t

Did YOU ever try to discover a reason
for the dying of valuable plant? You
perhaps found that life was destroyed
by some insect or parasite working
about the roots and sapping away the
elements which go to support plant
life.
The dandruff germ exercises the
same destructive influence upon the
life of the hair. 1t forces its way down
the follicle around the hair bulb and
thus prevents the hair from getting
proper nouriskRent The hair dies
and drops out.
Newbro's Herpicide prevents this by
killing the germ. 1t also frees the
scalp from the accumulationS OF dirt
and scarf sEin. With the removal of
these obstacles to Clean healthy scalp,
the hair will grow naturally and lux
uriantly.
Herpicide is known as the Original
Dandruff Germ Destroyer.
One dollar size bottles are sold and
guaranteed by all druggists.
Applications mag be obtained at the
better barber shops and hair dressing
parlors.

MAGNETIC IMPORTANT FACTOR.
Its Development Began Long Before
Advent Of the Auto.

Long before the automobile became
practicable, the magnetic, which Is the
most important part OF the ignition
system OF every gasoline-driyen motor
car, was in the process OF develop
ment. The first magnetos were OF
low.tension variety and were used III
connection with a make and break
device designed by Daimler, the
pioneer builder of gas engine motors
for vehicles.
From that time on the development
of the magnetic was rapid and this
form of ignition came into general
use among automobile builders early
i'm the present century. Practically
all the existing types today are based
on the fundamental principles incor-
poraced i'm the first types by Robert
Bosch. a German inventor.
I'm the last few years ssgeral mag
neto\ factories have been established
In the United States and the growth
OF this branch for the industry has
been proportionate TO that. OF the
automobile itself
While the principle is substantially
the same in all magnetos, there rs an
endless variety in styles and models.
One OF the larger concerns manufaC-
lures and carries in stock more than
$50 magnetic models. In the larser
cities, like New York and Chicago,
garages are maintained exclusively
for the proper installation OF these
magnetos. the work being in charge

OF magnetic is best suited to the car
in question.
