Something Wrong.

There is something radically wrong
about the man who cannot say good
word about his home town and home
industries. 1t means one or two
things lack of sympathy with the
efforts of others, or vicious spirit to
knock for the sake OF knocking Near
ly all communities have this species
of citizen, but happily their influence
counts for little in the long run.

LOSS OF HAIR IS ACCEPTED AS
THE FIRST INDICATIONS OF OLD AGE
Don't Look Older Than You Are.

Although frequently accepted as
such, thin, wispy hair does not neces-
sayily indicate approaching old age In
stead it is more often traceable to the
hair destroying effect of dandrufT and
hence becomes a matter of mere per-
sUnal neglect.
Loss of hair and approaching bald
less are not considered by the major
it, of people with sufficient serious
less. Both are looked upon as inevi-
table when as matter of fact they are
becoming bald or having thin scraggy
locks at 60 than there is at 16.
Proper and intelligent care of the
hair is all there is to it. For the re-
NOV al of dandruff, to check hair loss
and stop the itching, Newbro's Herpi-
eide is the logical remedy. Its use is
attended with remarkable results and
much personal satisfaction.
The hair becomes light, fluffy and

Handicanpina the surarar.

Burgaries in private houses in VI
emma are rare. because the doors are
locked from 10 o'clock at night to 6 in
the morning by order OF the police. Ad-
mission and exit between, those hours
are given by the house porter, who re-
ceives a fee for unlocking the door
and is bound to report TO the police
the dOings and mode of life OF all the
Inhabitants of the house. This system
of lock money is tiresome. but in vi
emma. as at Naples. where 1t also e1-
lists, 1t obliges burglars and other Grim
inals to operate during the daylight
and diminishes their chances of sue
cess. The landlords tried a few years
ago the system of giving the key OF
the house door TO tenants. but the ma
jority of the keys have been with
drawn.

No Wonder Lincoln Always Had a
Fund of Stories on Hand.

Lieutenant David b. Parker. author
Of "A Chautauqua Boy of 81" sheds
some light on the question of where
Lincoln got his stock of stories. Lieu
tenant Parker was in the office of the
provost marshal at City Point when
an Irishman presented himself for a
pass through the Union lines
The freshman was dressed in cordu-
roys, with hobnailed shoes. He had
humorous, rudy face. and his eyes
sparkled with fun. He handed out
card. but held on to one corner of it.
The card read: Pass the bearer. -

Chicago, Jan. 22.-One local paper

bullishly serious. The Inter-Ocean

Argentine corn news promises to
create very active corn market.
Regardless of immediate fluctuations,

Much belief is expressed that corn

the Argentine corn crop will be 5O,-
100000 below last year.
Argentine exported $4,000. 900 in
1912 and Europe wants another 1877
100000 of cheap corn from the same
source.
