ABUNDANT FLUFFY HAIR IS
IMPOSSIBLE IF YOU HAVE DANDRUFF

How often do we hear or see this
expression used in describing beauti-
full woman!
Denude that head of it's hair and in
stead of a queenly, royal bearing we
have fright. The hair makes all the
difference. To have that glorious
abundance of radiant hair which al
ways crowns "a regal head" one
should use Newbro's Herpicide.
Herpicide represents the last word in
scientific hair culture. 1t destroys the
dandruff germ, checks falling hair and
corrects generally, diseases of the hair
and scalp.

FAITH.
Have Faith

First, Faith in yourself then Faith
in the thing you set out to do-then
Faith in the result.
Faith is the ability to believe you
have won before you have It's the
art of beating the enemy, the obsta-
cles, or the plan of your opposers, be-
fore they have securely organized. For
Faith is to take victory in hand at
the start.
Have Faith.
The great stories of success from
the beginning of time are but nara
tives of men and women doers-who
had Faith. Faith feeds the hungry in
adversity-clothes and warns the
needy in temporary failure. For Faith
builds. 1t cannot destroy.
Have Faith.
Your success is limited only by your
Faith. The results from Faith live
limitless. Take heart.
Have Faith.
The only time people fail is when
they lose Faith. The pitcher in a ball
game, the soldier on a battlefield, the
leader in politics, the executive at the
head of task Of business-tAe hum
blest toiler-goes ahead and does his
best only as he is inspired to it by
Faith. First, as he has it-then as
those about, under, or near him have
Faith in him.
Have Faith.
And make it vital part of your de-
termination to win, today. The most
obscure worker is entitled to as great
credit in proportion as the man who
commands-so long as he has and
uses all the Faith he can muster. So,
remember to keep a great stock of
Faith on hand constantly. All this
day long

 Representative McMorran, of Michigan, made an individual re- port, claiming that neither had reached a proper conclusion, but that they were using the report for political purposes. He asserts the report of both the majority hand minority are unfair.

NOME PAPER TELLS
 ABOUT THE MAIL
industrial Worker Prints True Statement, While Corpora
 ton Sheet Lies.

Under the caption More Mail rn Way to Cold Storage,' the In dustriaI Worker, the working mans paper, of Nome. prints the following:
 The industrial Worker received a wire from Valdez yesterday that the Mariposa had passed Juneau with mail for the interior which would be unloaded at Cordova and, sent via the blockaded road. if some action was not taken.
 In spite of the statements in the Nugget. the road is not open, and several trains with mail are still stalled. The statement pub lished yesterday in the Nugget to the effect that the train which left CordOva on December 2i did not carry mail, is absolutely a faIsehood. The Cordova Alaskan, in a wire to the Industrial Work rr, positively corroborates the Valdez dispatches to the effect that mail was carried, the Alas kan's telegram reading in the beginning as follows:
 Last regular train left here December 2i with sixteen hun dred pounds mail for Fairbanks to Nome.'
 What tkc Nuggets object is in deliberately falsifying facts which rvnn the CnrdOva Alaskan ac- knowledgrs as correct, is entirely obvious.

NO FREE TOLLS
 SAYS WILSON
Will Favor the Repeal of Clause Which Caused England So
 Much Fear.

ashin.tun. D. G., March l.-- Pres idrnt-e Wilson has an- nounred that he is in favor of repeating the free toll clause in the Panama canal rates and that he will"work for it's repeal.
 The clause referred tn is the one which caused England to make protest to the United States, Tlaiming that the treaty rights of that country would be violated if a lower rate were al lowed to American vessels than to Engnlish vessels and that we had no right to make special rates. He
 President Taft held that. the rate making for the: canal was a matter of no concern to. other powers, as we were only provid- ing a free passage for coasting vessels owned by Americans and plying from one American port to another American port.
