KILL THE
DANDRUFF GERM
Stops Falling Hair-Others Initiate
and Make Similar Claims, but the
Genuine and Original DAN
druff Destroyer is New
bros Herpicide.

The discovery OF the dandrufr germ
as the cause Of all hair troubles is not
a recent event Prof. Unna gave the
germ theory to the world in 1887 and
two years later Sabouraud by his ex-
periments with a rabbit proved beyond
a doubt the actual existence of this
germ.
On the heels OF this establishment of
the germ theory came the discovery of
Newbro's Herpicide. This was the
first and only remedy for the destruc-
ton of the dandruff germ
There have been other preparations
alleged to kill this germ, stop falling
hair and itching of the scalp. But
Newbro's Herpicide really does, these
things. For this reason 1t has long
been known as the original remedy and
the only one that is genuine
Don't be fooled by preparations
which are trading upon the marvellous
success Of Herpicide. Remember you
take no chances with Newbro's Herpi-
eide. 1t is absolutely guaranteed.
For sale by all druggists.

Richmond jail over Sunday.
Detective L L. Scherer Immediately
took the stand. Hill Carter beginning
the cross-examination for the defense.

nearly all the witnesses for the prose-
cution and have been practically in
charge OF gathering the evidence for
the commonwealth since the murder

Carter for the defense.

About how many times have you

apparent purpose Of developing whether

NO MORE DRINKING
ON PASSENGER TRAINS

No more "boozing" in public on
trains while they are passing thru
the state OF Montana after April 26.
Ii person wants to get little nip
or two he must take it in the din
ing, sleeping or buffet car. This
probably does not mean that he must
buy it in the diner or the buffet car
from the railroad company, but the
law prohibits him from publicly
drinking intoxicating liquors in any
other part of the train.
A certain class of men who make
it point to load up on large guam
titles of booze" as a requisite for
the journey, will have to get Sleep
ing car ticket if he is going to in
dulge in the wet goods.
This law was passed at the last
legislature, and also makes it a mis-
demeanor to be intoxicated on the
train, so the man with an unQuench-
able thirst will have to gauge him
self very carefully or he will find
himself in the clutches of the law.
1t is the duty of all conductors to
arrest all people who violate this
law, and they will no doubt have
their hands full for while.
The Great Northern has posted the
following bulletin for the benefit of
all conductors:
Montana H. B. No. 214, effective
April o6, 1911, prohibits the drink
ing OF intoxicating liquors publicly
as beverage upon any train carry
ing passengers. except in buffet.
sleeping and dining cars, and makes
it misdemeanor to do SO, or to be
Intoxicated upon such trains. The
penalty for violation of said act is a
fine not to exceed $500, or impris-
onment in the county Jail not to ex-
coed six months. Police power is
conferred upon all conductors to
see to the enforcement of the act.
and to arrest all persons violating
same. such persons to be delivered
to a police officer at some station
on the road. You will therefore see
that there is no drinking on your
trains except in the buffet, dining or
sleeping cars in the state of Mon
tana."

CAN'T MAKE ASSIGNMENT
WITHOUT W|FE'S CONSENT

In order to comply with the new
law passed at the last legislature
two months ago,no married man can
make an assignment of wages unless
consented to by his wife with due
acknowledgement. Wifey must have
her say as to how her husband S
wages are assigned hereafter. If it
does not meet with her approval the
one to whom the wages are as
signed cannot make collection. The
Great Northern has posted a notice
to this effect, which reads as fol-
lows:
Montana H.B.No.S6 requires all
persons loaning money to wage earn
ers and taking compensation there
fore to secure a license. The law
makes invalid any assignment of
wages by married man, unless con
scented to in writing by his wife duly
acknowledged. The bill also re-
Quires that notice of such assign
n.ent be given employer within one
day of the date of its execution and
makes invalid any assignment made
prior to the provision Of this act.

All the large cities throughout the
