your ideal of a man in almost every
particular. He may have good head,
fine physique, perfect manners, an in
teresting personality and bear himself
with the distinguished air of gentle
man. His linen is immaculate and his
clothes faultless as to cut and material
But all the pleasant first impressions
are ruined when you discover the collar
and shoulders of his coat covered with
loose hair and flakes of dandruff.
This is an indication of personal
carelcsshess, not to say mcleanIiness
you feel like telling him to get bottle
of NcwbrJ's ITerpicide, and If you are
a real friend to him You WILL tell him.

druff from his head stop his hair from
falling aud prevent him from becoming
bald. Baldheaded men always look
Old, whether they are or not

checks this accumulation, prevents the
hair from falling out and stops that
frightful itching of the scalp almost in
stantly. 1t has a most delightful odor.
Herpicide is the Original Remedy,
that destroys dandruff. There is moth
ing in the world just like it, nothing
that is "just as good"

sizes is sold by all dealers who guaran-
tee it to do all that is claimed. If you
are not satisfied your money will be re.

Little visits to Our Merchants.
Imperial Furnifnre Co.


-Four short years have seen the rise
of the Imperial Furniture Company
from most humble beginning to a com.
manding position in the furniture, car.
pet, rug anbwall paper business of this
city. This proved distinction has been
gained and will be maintained by ad.
herring strictly to carrying the highest
quality of house furnishings.
Each and every season has seen the
Imperial more perfect, the trade has
been liberal in its expressions of ap-
proval, as is demonstrated by the ever
increasing volume of business which
they have enjoyed.
1t is not a mere freak of nature that
produces business; the quality and quan
tity of any business depends upon its
direction. What is true of an institu.
tion is true of its men. Mr.. F. J. Chap
man ,formerely resident of Dallas, for
number of years, has been with this
company since its organization as man
ager and secretary Mr.. Chapman is
considered one of the best posted men
on furniture in the country. Mr.. Paul
Stage is vice-president and treasurer.
and Mr.. William McGilchrist, Jr., is
president.
The Imperial is exclusive represen-
tative in this city for the following well
known lines: The Aerolux shades, Alas.
ka refrigerators, Bently-Gerwig office
desks, Beantline window shades, the
largest line of scrims, nets and ere
tonnes, in the city, and also the cele.
brated Laurel stove and range.

At Ye Liberty soon.
What sad havoc a maid can make
with men s hearts; she can turn friends
into the most bitter enemies. This is
exactly what happened when Jim and
Mack happen upon the fair Lille. The
young lady's beau has gone away on a
business trip and she is left all by her
lonesome. To pass away the tagging
hours, she flirts most outrageously with
Jim and Mack, two fat men, and gets
lots of fun out of their frenzied pursuit
of her.,
They first meet Lille at a fashiona-
bic entertainment and at once fall head
and ears in love with her Secretly
flattered by their attentions, she flirts
with them both and fans the flame of
their obvious devotion, making then,
extremely jealous of each other. The
next day they all meet at a theatre and
the men buy seats on each side of the
girl, who has slyly let them see the
number of her ticket. During the per-
formance they both poster her nearly to
death crowding up near to her and both
attempting to speak at once, absolutely
crushing her between them. In spite of
the discontinue she suffers, Lille en-.
joys the fun and eggs them on all man
ner of extravagances, their enmity
growing more bitter all the while AT.
ter the day of the theatre party she
sees them again and again and finally
announces that she is going to Atlantic
City for a month S vacation.
Jim and Mack both obtain leave of
absence and present themselves to her
at the hotel where she is staying. Their
huge size makes their billing and coo.
ing very evident to every one and they
become the stock joke of the beach.
The greatest laugh of all, however,
comes at a masquerade ball, where they
make most violent love to the, fair dam
sci. Her real "knight " appears on the
scene and triumphantly bears off his
lady, to the great discontinue of jim
and Mack, who are left to console them
selves as best they can.

Washington, May 3l.--Man is just a

ASSERT HITCHCOCK
UGGLED FIGURES
Did This to Make it Appear Postal De-
partment Was Self Sustaining
When 1t Is Not.

Washington, May 3l.-The postoffice
department did not attain a condition
of self-support during the administra'
tiOn of Postmaster General Hitchcock
notwithstanding the widely-advertised
announcements to that effect, although
an apparent surplus was attained by
unjustifiable methods of bookkeeping
The general morale and efficiency OF
the postal service were sacrificed to a
ruthlessly enforced policy of false econ,
omy for the sole purpose of presenting
showing of self-maintenance; and af-
ter the attainment of this end, just be.
fore the Inauguration of the new ad.
ministratiOn, the policy was reversed.
LOng-standing vacancies were filled
and postponed promotions made; com.
mitments to fixed charges for long
terms were assumed in such a way as
to saddle the new administration with
the greatly increased expense during
months, if not years, to come,
These are the important points in the
report of a committee of postoffice of
ficers which has made a minute "sur-
yey' of the department S general con

master-General Albert Sidney Burleson,
who made it public today, and is signed
by Daniel G. Roper Joseph Stewart, A.
Dockery, James l. BIakslec and Merritt
o. Chance, respectively first, second,
third and fourth assistant postmasters
general and chief clerk of the depart
ment.
The substance OF tine claif of the
Hitchcock administration was that a
deficiency Of approximately $l7 100000
in 1909 had been entirely eliminated,
and that a surplus of over 100000 was
attained for the fiscal year 1911. The
reports Of the "survey" are declared
to show, on the contrary, that at no
time has there been a legitimate sur
plus in the postal revenues since the
fiscal year 1888, and that instead of a
surplus of approximately $4,000 in
1911, there was, in fact, an actual de-
ficiency of considerably more than
three-quarters of a million dollars.

But by far, the greater part Of the food
is used as a source of energy for the
performance of muscular work, both in
ternal and external, and for maintain
ing bodily temperature.
So if you want to know just how much
energy you use in day, and just what

watched the little thermometers, taking
copious notes,
The calorimeter is valuable instru
ment in many ways. 1t enables the
government to recommend certain diets
as being of the greatest use to men
and women in different occupations
and it enables them to recommend a
combination of foods, that are cheap
but at the same time sustaining.
The apparatus itself is six and one
half feet square and Of the same height.
There is a window in the side to permit
light for reading or studying, a couch
to permit the subject to lie down, pipe
through which air enters and another
through which it is expelled. The ex.
PEELED air is caught and its components
analyzed for part of the food you eat
is expelled with every breath.
The heat given off by the subject S
body is weighed and measured and then
carried off through a brass pipe that
has current oil cold water running
through it. The heat absorbing power
of the pipe is enhanced by series of
copper disks that are soldered to it..
The method is merely the reverse of
that practiced in bringing heat into a
room by the hot water method. In one,
the cold water carries it away; in the
other the hot water brings it in. The
exact amount of heat expelled from the
subjects body is measured by the flow
of cold water, one calorie Of heat be-
ing necessary to raise ! kilogram Of
water one degree centigrade.
"Important discoveries have been
made through the respiration calori-
meter, said Dr.. Rangwortby today.
"It has been determined definitely
just how much food is needed to supply
the normal body with energy enough to
permit of great mental and physical
labor To every one calorie of heat off
Of the body it is Necessary to eat five
calories Of food. Mental work, it has
been discovered, results in as much loss
of muscular energy as mnsclar work

CHICAGO GIVEN GREAT SHOCK
insanity Found to Be AlarmIngiy on
the Increase in the First City
of Illinois.

Chicago has just completed cen
sus and alarm is felt over the figures
which show an increase of 20 per
cent. in insanity, with the increase in
population only IL per cent. in four
years. DR.. H. 1. Davis, county physl'
clan of Cook county, Illinois, declares
that the number of insane people in
creases steadily each year.
1t is a fact, however, that the undue
increase in insanity is in many in
stances confined to certain sections OF
the country in cycles or waves. There
will be period in which a marked in
crease in mental arrangement will be
noted. Then statistics will suddenly
shift and the lunacy ratio will go down
in sections where it was high and go
up in sections where it was compare
lively low. Just what is the reason for
this has not been determined, al
though afienists and others have Of
fered all sorts of explanations.
One of these is that when great
calamity befalls community children
born of parents who have suffered
much through the calamity are likely
to be born mentally deficient. The
parents themselves may not suffer IN
that way because, being fully grown
and matured mentally, they survive
the shock.
