How to Destroy
the Dandruff Germ
By a SPECIALIST.

That the dandruff germ is respOns-
i0le for nearly all the diseases to
which the scalp is heir, as well as for
badness and premature gray hair, is
a well known fact but when we realize
that it is also Indirectly responsible for
many of the worst cases Of catarrh and
consumption, We appreciate the import
ance Of any agent that will destroy its
power We are, therefore, particularly
pleased to give herewith the prescrip-
ton which an eminent scientist states
he has found, after repeated tests, to
completely destroy the dandruff germ
in from one to three applications. Tt

years of badness. This prescription
can be made up at home, or any drug

Loan and Investment company, of Dali
las, Tex, 800 he claims was paid on a

to FL Paso and solicited him to take
stock in the Dallas company. This he
did, the pfantiff AYERS. taking one con-
tract with 29 coupons attached at the
par value of 800 each. For this the
plaintiff says that he was to pay $50
a month for Sc months, and at the end
of that time the coupons were to be
at par value, amounting to $4,000. In
consideration of his agreement to take
the stock, the plaintiff says that Mech
agreed that the company would make
him loan of $4,000 on property in FL
Paso. The plaintiff alleges that the
company would not make the loan, and
he wants his $50 back.

What Was forbidden Fruit"

Why and how it has happened
that the apple has been spoken
of as the fruit that was forbid
den in the Garden of Eden is one
Of the great puzzles of Biblical
scholars. The fact is that in
Genesis III, where the incident
of the eating of this fruit of the
Tree of knowledge of Good
and Evil" is mentioned, no name
whatever is given to that fruit.
All that is said is: And wnen
the woman saw that the tree was
good for food, and that it was
pleasant to the eyes. and tree
to be desired to make one wise,
she took of the fruit thereof,
and did eat, and gave also unto
her husband with her; and he
did eat. =" Verse g.
In fact, scholars doubt very Sc
riously whether it was the apple
at all. they suggest that all
evidence points to it having been
the ounce, the fragrance of
which was held in the highest
esteem by the Orientals. An
other point in favor of the ounce
is that it is the fruit which was
sacred to Venus, the goddess of
love, and in a great many of the
ancient writings the Ounce is
Very frequently mentioned in
this manner. In Babylonia, Ish-
tar took the place of Venus in
the Roman mythology, and it
should be remembered that the
story of the creation originated
with the Babylonions. All ev-
idence seems to point away from
the apple having been the For
hidden Fruit" and towards the
ounce as having been that fruit
of the "Tree of knowledge of
Good and Evil"

Advertising.

A lively discussion has been
going on here for some weeks
among a number of merchants
and manufacturers as to which
was the most economical method

being named to investigate the
matter, ]. S. Oliver, advertising
manager of the Evansville Brew
ing Association, wrote to twenty
of the most prominent national
advertisers in the United States
and asked them which publicity
medium, in their estimation was
the most valuable, newspapers,
biilboards, painted walls, street
cars or direct circulars?
Nineteen of the twenty named
newspapers without hesitation
and a number went so far as to
recite their experiences in detail
and named the reasons for their
conclusion.
This has been a much m0oted
question in advertising circles
for years and now that this in
vestigation has disclosed beyond

are the most valuable of all ad-
