him from boarding a French liner on
which he had booked to sail.

THERE'S A Difference
Between Promises and
Actual Results.

Promises won't overcome hair
trouble. The manufacturers Of New
bros Herpicide promise nothing which
is not justified by an intelligent use of
this preparation. The desired end ul-
timately becomes an accomplished
fact. That Is the reason that Her
picide has thousands of satisfied
friends all over the world.
BY keeping the scalp clean and
healthy and destroying the dandruf
germ, Newbro's Herpicide prevents the
hair from falling and allows It to grow
unhindered and naturally except In
cases OF chronic badness which is in
durable.

Girl S! WHY NOT MARRY A COWBOY?
JUST PROPOSE--THEY WANT WIVES
Woman Who Left Town Tells
of Invigorating Life as
RancherO's Spouse.

MERGED, Cal, Jan. 2S.-Girls, how
would vol like to be the wife OF a
cowboy? Not a wild, bowling cowboy,
but a perfectly docile, college-bred
cowboy, one who could furnish you
with several sleek, glossy-coated
saddle horses and a big red automobile
to ride in.
That is Mrs. Allan Riddles predica-
ment, n she likes it fine. Day after
day she and her husband ride about
the ranch together, she frequently
helping him in his work with the
3cattle.
Before her marriage Mrs. Ruddle was
4 town girl and ranch life was quite a
novelty to her, and the novelty has
never worn off. She is eighteen miles
from the nearest town of any size, and
women in that community are scarce.
Her only companion at the hous dur
ing the day is the Chinese cook, and
he generally goes fishing, SO, naturally,
she prefers to ride with her husband.
She puts some needlework into a bag,
straps her RATA onto her saddle,
mounts her horse, and away they go.
When they get to the field she works
lu0uStTiOuSiy at her S3WluS, Willie HS
attends to the stock. If he has to rope
a steer and needs any help, back goes
the needlework into the bag n down
comes her wirey RATA and she plays
cowboy for a while.
To keep the ranch life from becom-
ing monotonous, occasionally the
Riddles take the automobile and go
to town or to visit the neighboring
ranchers.
Now, girls, If this sounds good to
you, Just remember that this is leap
year, and there are plenty of good OPP
portunities left like the one Mrs. Rud-
die found. if you r only willing to
look for them.
