You Can Have a Wealth
Of Beautiful Hair.

Nothing equals an aureole of beauti-
full hair as a frame for a pretty face.
Without a background of nice hair a
really pretty face frequently becomes
plain and, with II. unattractive features
assume life and beauty.
Every woman can increase her natu-
raj charm by using Newbro's Herpicide.
Herpicide makes hair beautiful. The
dandruff germ saps the vitality Of the
hair. Herpicide applied intelligently
and regularly checks this destruction of
hair life and prevents the hair from fall
ing out, giving it a snap and luster, a
soft, silky fiuffiness which can be ac-
quired in no other way.
Newbro's Herpicide in SOC and 81 sizes
is sold by all dealers, who guarantee it

voyage Pat died. Preparations Were
made for the burial at sea, but the
lead weights customarily used in such
