Thousands of la : dies mol only in the United States but all over the world feel the same way about it. To this wonderful scalp and hair remedy they owe their soft, long. beautiful hair

 Most hair troubles come from dan druff. Newbros Herpicide removes this dandruff by killing the germ which causes it. It also stimulates | flow of blood which nourishes the folicles. The scalp being healthy, the hair does not come out and the new hair is allowed to grow.
 There are other preparations which they say are just as good as Herpi- eide. II is not advisable to try them. Instead of doing any good they may do positive hard

AGRICULTURAL
 DEVELOPMENT
THROUGH SWEEPING LEGIsLA TON IS REcoMM ENDED BY
 AMBASSADOR HERRlck.
Has Completed Exhaustive lnvestiga tion of Condition in the Euro
 pean Countries.

Paris, Sept. 21.-Sweeping recon mendations for legislation designed to help development of agriculture in the United States are contained in an elaborate report forwarded to Wash ington by. the American ambassador, Myron T. Herrick, who has completed ar exhaustive investigation of the systems of agricultural credit facili- ties in operation Europe The am- bassador wrote the document after receiving reports from other Ameri- can diplomatic representatives in Flu rope and comforting with others.
 The work of gathering and compil- ing material for the formulation f plans for efficient land and agricultu- ral system has been carried on under instructions from President Taft, and Ambassador Herrick has been assist ed by commission. which reached here from the United States in Jul '. Edwin Chamberlain of San Antonio, one of the commission, who repre- sents the American Bankers Associa ton, will report to that organization
 The ambassadors report recom- mends the adoption of the United States of the Reiffeissen system of agricultural cooperative credit socie- ties. This system has been particu- larly successful in Germany, where it's operations represent half the business of the commercial banks It includes organizations composed of small io- operative sonieties, whereby farmers are able to borrow money for a short time on their collective guarantees These societies have become the nu- cleus of a series of central co-opera- tive banks.
 The report also recommends that persons interested in the welfare oi the farmer should form general committee to direct movement for the loaning of money to farmers for long period at lower rates than they now obtain.
 The report urges the president 10 place the matter before the people and suggests holding state conventions and then natioual convention at which permanent committee should De appointed.
 In this way the people would gradu- ally become educated to realizing the necessity of adopting uniform state laws authorizing the establishment of new banking credit institutions whose sole purpose would be to loan money to farmers under conaitions which would permit the complete wlping out of the loans through the payment oi interest over long period. This is the essence of the European system 1 The several banks would be compli mentary to the cooperative loan so- cieties, which the ambassador favors as a first step in the financial relief 1 of farmers. As in the case of coop erative societies. these new loan in. stitutions in the various states would make establishment of credit banks in large commercial centers necessary These central banks could handle the securities of the state loan institu- tions and sell them in the internation- al market Such banks have a better prestige if possessed of a federal charter and the report recommends the enactment of legislation to that effect.
