ENTIRELY BALD
Her Hair Commenced to Grow After Two Weeks Use of
 NewbrO's Herpicide.

Fever caused me to be entire ly bald. I had given up all hope of again having hair when l was advised to use Herpicide. After two weeks my hair commenced to grow. I now have the most beautiful head of hair anyone ever saw. Praise to Newbro's Herpicide."
 Thus writes Mrs. Howard Bai- ley, of Bellevue, Mich. We can point to thousands of instances where the proper use of Herpi- eide has been followed by re- markable growth of hair.
 Newbro's Herpicide is "the original remedy which kills the dandruff germ" and stops fall ing hair.
 Applications may be obtained at the best barbers and hair dressers.
 Newbro's Herpicide in 50 cent and $1.O0 sizes is guaranteed to do all that is claimed. If you are not satisfied your money will be refunded.

STEAMER
HERE WITH CARGO
The Cienfuecos, Laden With
Paving Material From Trop-
les, Reaches Destination.

The steamer Cienfuecos, laden with
1900 tons Of asphalt from Trinidad. ar
rived in Washington yesterday after
noon and tied up at the Washington
Asphalt Company's dock for unload ing.
The whole cargo is consigned to the
local firm. The Cienfuecos is a
tramp" belonging to Stephenson &
CO.. of New York. c. w Mason cap
tain.
The Cienfuecos flies a Cuban flag, is
owned by Americans. and manned by
a crew of Swedes from captain to
deckhand.
The asphalt. which is taken from the
world-famous asphalt lakes of Trinidad.
was dumped in bulk into the hold of the
vessel. 1t is taken from the lakes in
large Jumps weighing anywhere from
twenty to fifty pounds. During the
course of the journey north the Jumps
melted into each other, and when the
hatches were opened TODAY for un-
loading the asphalt had melted into
one solid mass
A gang of colored pickmen were put
to work at the soft mass and today they
are sending out a ton every three min
utes. The asphalt breaks up into Jumps
again under the pickaxes and is hauled
from the hold IN buckets which hold
nearly a ton. The buckets are swung
up to a runway and roll straight to the
bins into which the material is dumped.
One Of the features of the unloading
is a small sized pickanniny whom the
other laborers call Alligator Bait" who
stands on the edge OF the hatchway
and signals the engineman when to
hoist.
1t Is expected that the unloading will
be completed by the end OF the week
when the Ctenfuecos will return down
the bay to Norfolk where a cargo of
coal will be taken on for Jamaica From
Jamaica a general cargo will be taken
on for Trinidad and there another cargo
OF asphalt for the North will be re-
ceivod.

GANG VICTIM WILL
SURVIVE INJURIES
Special Policeman Beaten Up
by CoIored Men Expected
to Be About Soon.

Physicians at Casualty Hospital said
today that Joseph Hedinger. a special
policeman who was assaulted and
beaten by a gang of colored men In
Wylie court northeast, last night. had
not been seriously hurt. When .Hedin-
ger was taken to the hospital last even

fractured.
Three colored men gho are alleged
TO have participated in the assault on

Jones'
Hedinger. who lives at 1913 Morse

in Wylie court The police were told
after~ard that the trouble started

VII SON WILL KEEP
APPOINTMENTS MUM
President to Hold Diplomatic
Names Secret Until He
Receives Acceptances.

Owing to the fact that most Of the
men to whom diplomatic appointments
have been offered have declined to ac-
cept, with the result that the White
House has experienced some embarrass-
ment, President Wilson will hold secret
in the future appointments of this ma
ture until he has the acceptance in
hand
1t is possible that the major part of
the Diplomatic Corps will be named at
one time. The President has before him
a score Of names. He is working on
a half-dozen positions at once. The
appointments will not be given out
until the acceptances are In his nands.
and. as result. long list Of diplo-
mats may be revealed at one stroke.
Followed New Jersey Plan.
Henry C. Morgenthau. David r. Fran
els. Augustus Thomas, Col. Joseph E.
Willard. and Thomas Nelson Page are
some Of the men whom the President
Is known to have under consideration
for foreign posts.
While it has disturbed precedent to
give out. unofficially. in advance the
names of men to whom foreign posts
have been offered. the procedure was
that to be expected OF President Wilson,
who predicates many Of his political
acts on his experience as governor Of
New Jersey. He seldom offered a posi-
ton to a man in his home State who
did not accept More rarely. as a mat
ter of fact, did President Wilson. when
governor. consult the man he named.
The appointment was sent somewhat
after the fashion Of the traditional bolt
from the blue and. In New Jersey,
where the lightning hit 1t found a con-
venient lightning rod.
Anxious to End Worries.
The foreign posts involve greater
difficulties by far than any State ap-
pointment. The responsibilities are
greater and the financial demands are
large. The type Of men considered,
however. is more experienced, and the
difference of greatest importance be-
tween the State and national appoint
ments seems to be one Of finance.
President Wilson Is extremely anxious
to get the diplomatic worry of his
hands before the special session begins,
and If he can find men who will take
the places. who at the same time meas
ure up to his idea of what kind Of man
makes a good diplomat, most Of the
positions may be disposed Of before
April Z.
