WHY RADIUM IS so EXTENSIVE

One-sixth of the worlds output oi radium is made within seven miles
 2 Philadelphia in a factory at Lansdowne, which is one of the six plants o' its kind in the world. It has a capacity of producing three grams Of radium a year. The pro cess Try which inc metal was dis covered by Dr. D. II. Kabajian, as sistan professor Of physics in the University of Pennsylvania and a resi lent of Lansdowne.
 Some idea of the delicacy of the secret chemical processes which the carnotite ore undergoes can be gleaned from the output of the fac 'nry Hundreds of tons of carnotite org are used during the course of a year. Twenty-Five men, working nine hours a day for year will produce three grams of pure radi- um -a't. The market price for pure radium is $1OO,OO0 a gram at this time and the LandsG owne faCtory's yearly output is worth $300,OO0.

 If there Is the slightest doubt in the minds of any that Dandruff germs do not exist, their belief Is compelled by the fact that q rabbit innoculated with. the germs became bald in six weeks time. . It must be apparent to any person therefore that the only prevention Of badness is the destruction of the germ which act Is successfully accomplished In one hundred per cent. of cases by 6he application of Newbro's Herpicide. Dandruff is caused by the same germ which causes badness and can be pre- vented with the same remedy-Newbro's s Herpicide.

UNRULY PRISONER
 ASSAULTS MARSHAL

FAIRBANKS. - The prediction made here that c. Myers, one of the prisoners who was started toward the outside with Marshal Erwin last Thursday morning, would attempt to escape at the first opportunity, prov ed true as soon as the marshaps party reached the 1S-mile rOadhouse, for Myers made a fierce assault on the marshal. And that the latter was not seriously injured was due to the watchfulness of Deputy Marshal Jack Mccormack and Guard Fred Douse, according to the report of the occur renee sent in to the marshaps office and from other sources.
 It is stated that Erwin was not seriously hurt, but that he was knock ed down by the prisoner, who in turn was knocked down and out by the deputy marshal. Leg irons had been placed on Myers when he left here, but after his assault on the marshal he was ironed heavily on the wrists as well, according to the report re- ceived here.-Citizen.

The hardware firm of Swearingen &

opening some time within the next
two weeks, as soon as the last Of the
shelving arrives for the new store.
The painting of the interior is now in
progress and will soon be completed.
Large additions will be made to the
stock of the firm.
The Wilson brothers opening last
Saturday proved such a pronounced
success that the idea is contagious. All
day long, streams of people went in
and out, admiring the windows, the
goods, the arrangements, the manner
in which they were treated, the music
by the Kimberly concert band and the
refreshments of punch and candy
which were served The handsome
windows and goods displayed may yet
be seen as an evidence that Kimberly
folks know the real thing in quantity,
quality and taste.
