Do you have dandruff? Does your
hair fall out? Is it getting thinner and
the parting more pronounced every
day? If so, We advise you to get busy
right away or before it Is too late.
We are not trying to scare you. We
are simply telling you the truth. If
you would ward off impending bald
ness you must check that hair loss and
rid your scalp Of dandruff.
Don't resort to the use Of an untried,
off brand hair preparation when gen.
uine Herpicide costs no more. You
are liable to disappointment if you
experiment. Start right and start now
with the right remedy and stick to it
Newbro's Herpicide.
Use Herpicide daily for a while, then
three times a week will be sufficient.
Watch the change which takes place
in the condition Of your hair and scalp.

Message in
C6iCag Q

The following is from a recent issue
of the Chicago Tribune:
"What's the price of putty?''was the
first telegraphic message ever dispatch
ed in Chicago. The sending instrument,
operated by Ambrose Jones, M. D.
now in his 95th year-was located in
the Tribune office. The receiving in
strument was in the original Sherman
house from whence was flashed the
brief answer: putty has riz. -
The wire connecting the two instru-
ments were strung over the top of
"Long John" Wentworth 8 store and
caused him some concern for the safety
of his building.
The first demonstration of the posi-
bilities of the electric telegraph was ar
ranged by the Tribune's daily editor,
Mr. Wilson, and took place in the au-
tumn of 1847-several months before
the telegraph line built by the late
General Charles Truman Hotchkiss was
in operation between this city and Mil
waukee. When the initial message
was sent over Gen. Hotchkiss' line DR..
Jones had charge of the Chicago instru-
ment where he received and read to
large gathering Of printers the. first
Geographic message ever transmitted
to this ity.,from an outside point. The
message was:
Milwaukee, with her IA, 900 people,
sends to Chicago, with her 1900 peo-
pie, greetings"
DR.. Jones, who now lives in Deltor,
Wis, graduated from Rush Medical
college in March, 1848. He is the Oldest
living alumnus of that Institution. .
