You can have a wealth
of Beautiful Hair

Nothing equals an aureole Of
beautiful hair as frame for a
pretty face. Without background
of nice hair a really pretty face
frequently becomes plain but, with
it, unattractive features assume
life and beauty.
Every woman can increase her
natural charm by using Newbro's
Herpicide. Herpicide makes hair
beautiful. Dandruff saps the vi
tally of the hair. Herpicide applied
intelligently and regularly, checks
this destruction of hair life and
prevents the hair from falling out
giving it a snap and luster, a soft
silky fiuffiness which can be ac-
quired in no other way.
Applications may be obtained at the
best barber shops and hair dressing
penors.
1t is guaranteed by The herpicidc Co.

The probable recommencement Of heavy
fighting along the Austro-I Italian front
seems apparent from the latest official
communication from Rome. Heavy bonn
bardments have been begun along the en-
tire front with the Italian gunners doing
effective work in destroying enemy posi-
lions at various points. In the Jamaiania
valley the Italians, following a heavy
honbardment. delivered a successful raid,
capturing 275 prisoners and machine guns

Comparative calm still prevails on the

deavored to carry out raids with strong
forces. These were all stopped by the
French fire.

Washington, July 16.-With drawing
of lots for the selective draft army
awaiting only completion Of exemption
machinery in a few scattered sections
of the country, officials here are anX-
lous that registrants take every oppor-
tunlty between now and the day Of
drawing to inform themselves thor
ouehly regarding exemption regula-
tions so as to reduce TO a minimum the
confusion 10 the cleanup or designa-
tions are made.
To this end attention was directed
today TO various sections of the regu-
lations over which questions have
arisen and il was suggested that the
local boards and the press cooperate
during the week or so remaining be-
fore lots are drawn to insure that the
registered men know just how to per-
form their part in the great task of
examination and exemption.
So easy access may be had to the
lists Of registration numbers in the
hands Of local boards, Provost Mar
shall General Crowder telegraphed the
Governors of all the states asking
that, instead of posting the lists at the
board offices, they be placed in some
safe central office such as police head
quarters"
In the larger cities especially, the
provost marshal general said much in
convenience has been caused by hay
ing the lists available only at out-of-
the-way board offices.
Only II states tonight had not re-
ported their organizations completed
and in many Of these only a few dis
trict boards had not finished number

jority of districts throughout the
country are ready for the drawing, and
when the governors of the missing
states telegraph that all the boards
in their jurisdiction have filed their
lists the drawing day will he set. Of
ticials think il will not be earlier than
Saturday.
Officials here are anxious that local
boards make it clear everywhere that

tered man for any other cause than
physical disability or dependent rela :
tiyes can be taken up before the local
boards. The whole matter of indus
