QUALITY OR

Which Do You observation-disclosures
HerPieids Represents Quality.

Which Do You Prefer?-Newkrois
Herpieide Represents Quality.
Did you ever have dealer offer
you large bottle of something and
tell you it was a better remedy for
the hair than Newbro's Herpicide and
cheaper because in a larger bottle?
What? Certainly we knew you had.
Many other people have, too.
What would you say to that same
dealer were he to tell YOU a silver
dollar was worth more than a Ave-
dollar gold piece because it is larger.
Such an attempt being a reflection
upon your good sense you would prob
ably say some rather pointed things
to him. You would be justified. Your
self-respect would demand it.
Well, there are just as many good
reasons for the difference in size be-
tween those bottles as there are for
the differenc in size between the sill
yer dollar and the i've dollar gold
piece.
The truth is that the large bottle
isn't half large enough.
There is more virtue in a half pint
of Newbro's Herpicide than in a gall
lon of some of the so-called hair pre-
parations.
There is a dollars worth of results
in the bottle of Herpicide. but do you
know what is in the other?
No? Then why buy it? Your judg-
ment, intelligence and the experience
of your friends, If not your own, cry
out against it.
You know when you go into that
store that Herpicide is what you need
and want
You KNOW that Herpicide is the
original scalp prophylatic.
You KNOW that Herpicide kills the
dandruff germ.
You KNOW that Herpicide stops
failing hair.
You KNOW that Herpicide makes
the hair light. fluffy and beautiful
You know these things in the sans
way you know that the I'VE dollar
gold piece. notwithstanding its size, is
more valuable than the silver dollar.
Then insist on having genuine Her
picide.

upon the work Of Architect Benz, the
regular county architect, as his report
covers the ground pretty thoroughly
and he agrees with the architect who
was employed especially for this oc-
casion by the board.
Architect Benz said yesterday after
L. feG kef h..
agreed with Architect. Hopkinson in
most respects.

Are Floods lnCreasln9?
FlSures Of the United States Geological
Survey Indicate Cost Of Flood
Destruction

The pre- sent disastrous floods of the
Mississippi River and the inundatiou
of the surrounding lowlands through
the breaking Of the levees suggest the
inquiry: Are floods increasing in the
United States? Present conditionsare
admittedly most unusual, Hoods Of
both the Ohio and Missouri Rivers
swelling the already heavy flow of the
Mississippi itself, and this has created
what will probably pass down in his
tory as the worst food of the Missis-
| sippi since the settlement of this
country.
! Precipitation either snow or rain
must ultimately take two courses, eth
er along the surface of the ground di-
rectly into water courses or into the
ground by percolation, with subsequent
discharge into the rivers 10y seepage
The water which causes floods Is that
part of the precipitation which Is not
absorbed into the ground and which
therefore must flow along the earth's
surface.
According to NJ. o. Leighton, chief
photographer Of the United States
Geological Survey, in Water Supply
Paper 234, which contains papers on
the Conservation of Water Resources,
"there are five classes of agencies or
conditions affecting the flow of streams.
The first is climate. under which are
comprised rainfall, evaporation, tenn
perature, wind, and humidity. AL
though these are exceedingly variable
from day to day and from season to
season, the observations that have
been recorded indicate that a period
of years embraces all conditions, SO
that the mean of them may be consid.
cred fairly constant There is very
little evidence, except in special areas,
that reveals any progressive and per.
INT nent change in climatic conditions.
The second agency is topography, and
the third geology, both Of which may
be considered absolutely stable. The
| 10 Nekotue'oH,
cludes forest cover and cultivated
land. The fifth consists of artificial
agencies, such as storage reservoirs
and drainage, which produce rapid
and marked effects on river discharge
"When the physical conditions on
the drainage areas are summed up, the
one great change that has been pro-
duced in the vegetative conditions is
the reduction Of forest area. On some
Of these drainage areas it has occurred
by slow progression and on others
more rapidly. 1t is certain that in
some areas this forest cutting has
caused barren conditions because the
land WAS Of such character that after
1t WAS relieved of forest protection it
eroded easily aud its productive por-
tions were quickly swept into water
courses.
"SummaIily, therefore, 1t may be
stated with confidence that the increase
in food tendency shown so unmistak-
ably is due in by far the largest meas.
ure to the deuudation of forest areas.
