Wall street is firmly of the opinion
that the manner in which the war
comes will have vast effect on stocks.
Opinion leans to the belief that dec
aration of war by the United States
would have an electrical effect Oh the
market, much more SO than If the dec.
laration came from the other side. The
problem is largely psychological. As
has been epigrammatically declared. il
is up TO us whether the blow is taken
standing up or living down.

NEWBRO'S
HERPICIDE

No woman can afford to be indiffer-
ent to the appearance of her hair. A
mass of nice snappy hair, becomingly
dressed, will add more in genuine
looks than a pretty face, or an ex-
pensive gown. Don't allow the scalp
to become clogged with dirt and dan
druff. Don't allow dandruff to destroy
your hair If your hair is uneven,
dead, dull and brittle and comes out
by the handful every time you draw
a comb through it, dandruff is the
cause. To rid your scalp Of the
dandruf and check the loss Of hair
should be your first anxiety.
NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE will do
this and at the same time put the
hair and seal p in a sanitary condition.
HERPICIDE appeals to those Of
greatest refinement on account of its
exquisite odor, its purity and clean
illness. It contains no grease and
does not stain or dye. There is moth
ing more dependable than this re-
markable scalp prophylactic. The
hair responds readily to a regular
and intelligent use of NEWBRO'S
RERPICIDE.
Try it and see. Send 10 cents to-
day to THE HERPICIDE CO,
Dept. S, Detroit, Mich, for sample
bottle and booklet telling all about
the hair.
For sale everywhere in soc and 81 90

Col Reeves is also president of Nor

the administration of that institution

are meeting with success makes such
serious demands upon his time that
his work in connection with the regi-

that comes from responsible source.
1t has been known that Col Reeves
has been contemplating this step and
it is recognized by officers of the reg.

only with deep regret, for he has TAX

of Flint, Mich. Not from a standpoint

trip so remarkable, but from the fact
that Mr.. Jones, who is in his saith
year, drove the entire distance of
more than 500 miles and the only 9TH

Jones, who is SO years old. The trip
was made in a Chandler six touring

Gov. Graham called attention to the
fact that last year the state forester
was away from the Office on official
business 116 days, the livestock COM
missioner As days, and the commits
sioner of agriculture 1913 days This
made 2S7 days occupied in state bust

In explaining the work of the live

cribed the job as mostly of a, clerical
character. with perhaps one case in so
where the commissioner needed to
take personal charge of the case This
he declared could be done adequate
ly by the proposed commissioner OF

He noted that the state forester last
year had skilled assistance amounting
to S3.S70.l0, together with 1890 of
unskilled assistance. In closing the
governor said
