BANKER ADMITS CONCENTRATION Of
MONEY POWER HAS CONE FAR ENOUGH
George F. Baker, of New Ork City, Tells Money Trust
Committee That Present Conditions Are Not En-
tirely Comfortable an That Safety Lies in
Personnel of the Men in Control

Washington, D. c, Jan. 11.-That the
present cOncentrat ton OF money and
credit has gone far enough" that in
bad hands it would have a bad effect
upon the nation; that the safety Of
the situation lies in the personnel Of
the men in control" and that present
conditions are not entirely comfortable
for the country, were a few Of the
statements made by George F. Baker,
master of finance, as the climax of two
days examination before the house
money trust committee. But Mr. Ba-
ker declared that bad hands" could
not retain the control
These statements, coming at the end
of a day of routine examination dur
ing which Mr. Baker reviewed in de-
tail the operations of himself, his bank,
the First National bank Of New York
and J. p. Morgan & company, in the
issuance of bonds, startled the commit
tee and and Mr.. Bakers counsel
Doesn't Think There Is a Trust.
Samuel Untermyer, counsel for the
committee, was Wading through a mass
of heavy statistics relating to bond is
sues handled by Mr.. Bakers associates.
Suddenly he paused, leaned forward in
his chair, and shot a question at the 73
year old financier.
Mr.. Baker, 1 suppose you do not
think there is money trust2' de-
manded the lawyer
Committee, spectators and counsel sat
forward in their chairs as the hearing
leaned back in his chair, smiled quiet
" about him, and replied:
Il do not think there Is"

What do you understand by a money

Il give it up, don't know" said Mr.
Baker with a chuckle.

BADNESS
May Be Checked by Using
Herpicide

The above expression IS one which is
used frequently in connection with
hair preparations. Just exactly what is
meant by It in each instance is a Ques-
ton. Badness is not a disease and
hence does not permit of cure. 1t
is a result invariably to be traced to
the dandruff germ and If the cOndi-
ton has become chronic, that is, if
there is complete atrOphy of the hair
fOllicles, a "cure" is absolutely impOs-
sible.
Approaching badness, seen in falling
hair, may always be checked, and if the
hair fOlhcles are not atrOphied, the
hair may be induced again to grow.
This is accomplished by regular ap-
plicatiOns of NeWbrOS Herpicide-
which cIeanses the scalp and kills the
dandruff germ. The destruction OF the
germ does away with the accommodations
of scarf skin and thus eliminates the
most common enemy to beautiful hair.
Soft glossy. fluffy hair cannot grow
on a scalp infested with dandruff any
more than a delicate plant can grow
on an ash heap The scalp must be
kept clean and free from dandruff.
The best remedy for doing this is New
bros Herpicide, mich receives the
highest endOrsem 5nts from professional
men, the stage and the best people
everywhere
Newbro's Herpicide in soc and 81. 90
sizes is sold by all dealers who guar
antee it to do all that is claimed. II

be refunded.

WHOLESOME FIG RECIPES.
While we have realized in a general
way the valuable properties of figs
when i'll, it has only been recently
that we have discovered their value
in keeping Us wei. The fig is the
fruit OF a small tree native of Asia,
Europe and extreme western and
southern parts of our own country.
This fruit whether freshly plucked or
dried is very nutritious and in parts
of the orient is often used as a sub
stitute for bread. 1t contains a large
proportion OF grape sugar Besides
their use in dessert, figs are largely
employed in cooking, candies, pud-
d!ngs, preserves and as they are rea-
sonably cheap, wholesome and palat-
able, they should be frequently seen
on the table. When a child desires
candy, this sweet viii satisfy and is
much better for him.

The Wind and the Leaves
The wind is fate,
The leaves are men
They are blown along for a little
space,
And then
A few emerge and tumble ahead,
Over and over again.
In maddening race,
And here and there
One lodges and clings in a lonesome
place,
Until at last but a single leaf
Whirls onward into the far some
where
And the many leaf-men that are left
behind
Gather in clusters here and there.
And are whirled about by the willful
wind,
And, at last, when the great white
quilt is spread,
And all is over and done.
They silently lie and slowly rot,
Each on the barren spot
Where it's troubles were begun.
