A HEALTHY HAIR.
NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE
If your hair lacks luster. Is -dry, brittle and uneven, It la unhealthy. One of these hair bulba magni
fied several thousand times under a powerful microscope has the appearance shown here by the right hand
picture. Such hair Is far from pretty! Hair sickness is usually due to dandruff. The germ that causes
this common but annoying trouble burrows down into the follicle or hair bulb. As the microbe develops,
it sets np an Inflammation that ultimately destroys tbe adhesion at the papilla and the starved hair finally
slips out.
Sick or unhealthy hair makes the regular and Intelligent application of NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE
Imperative. This preparation has long been known as the Original Dandruff Germ Destroyer and Hair
Saver. Besides being a delightful and efficient hair dressing, HERPICIDE possesses an exquisite odor
which appeals to all. it contains no grease and does not stain or dye When beginning the use of this
great scalp prophylactic the most agreeable effect perhaps la the almost immediate cessation of itching.
Send for Trial Bottle and Booklet
One application of this remarkable and well-known toilet requisite is usually suffi
cient to convince tbe most skeptical of its great merits. A trial size bottle together
with a booklet telling all about the hair will be sent to any address upon receipt
of 10 cents In postage or silver.

Charge ia Dropped. Charges of ob
taining money by means of false in
strument or through a confidence game
have been dismissed against Aaron
Goldburg, manager of the Home Loan
company. The case was up for hearing
yesterday before Justice H. N. Wil
liams, and when the. evidence had
been given, Assistant State's Attorney
P. R. Ingleson left the case In the
hands of the Justice without offering
any argument. Like the attempts to
legally prosecute Chicago loan men,
the local charge failed to hold water.
Peek & Diets were retained by Mr.
Goldburg and Attorneys G. O. Diet!
and James Johnston appeared In hii
behalf. The former proved to the sat
isfaction of the complainant, Mrs. Li
xle Johnson, Jhat all papers in the
case specified exactly what was ex
pected of the borrower of the money,
He asked Mrs. Johnson if she believed
that the defendant was guilty of the
charge against him. and she replied
in the negative. She stated that the
charge was made -at the suggestion of
Justice W. E. Whiteside, by whom the
warrant wrfs issued.

Earber, trade manager of the Moline
Plow company, is home from Chicago,

" BULLETS IN BATTLE.
They Play Queer Pranks at Times an
Their Mission of Death.
At the battle of Peach Orchard,
when McClellan was making his
change of base, a Michigan Infantry
man fell to the ground as if shot dead
and was left lying In a heap as the
regiment changed position. The bullet
that bad hit him first struck the barrel
of his gun, then glanced and struck off
a burton of his coat, tore the watch out
of his vest pocket and struck tbe man
Just over the heart where it was
stopped by a song book la bis shirt
pocket He was unconscious for three
quarters of an bonr. and it was a full
month before the black asd blue spot
disappeared.
At Pittsburg Landing a member, of
the Twelfth Michigan infantry stooped
to give a wounded man a drink from
his canteen. While la this act a bullet
aimed at bis breast struck t!.e canteen
and buried itself Ljf the leg of a horse.
xne canteen was split open and drop
ped, to the ground in halves.
At the second battle of Bull Run a
New York infantryman was passing
tobacco to a comrade when a ballet
struck the plug, glanced off and burled
Itself In a knapsack. Tbe tobacco was
rolled np like a ball of shavings and
carried a hundred feet away. Directly
In tbe line of the bullet was the head
of a lieutenant, and had not tbe bullet
been deflected be would certainly have
been wounded or killed thereby. As It
.'was, be bad both eyes filled with to
bacco dust and had to be led to the
rear.
At Brandy Station one of Coster's
Uoopers had bis left stirrup strap cut
away by a grapeshot, which passed be
tween his leg and the horse, blistering
the skin as If a red hot Iron had been
used. He dismounted to ascartaln the
extent of his Injuries, and as he bent
over a ballet knocked his hat off and
killed his horse.
In the same fight a trooper had suf
fered several days with a toothache..
In a hand to hand conflict he received
a pistol ball in the right cheek. It
knocked oat his aching tooth and
passed out through the left corner of
his month, taking along a part of an
upper tooth. The Joy of getting rid of
tbe toothache was so great that the
trooper could not be made to go to the
rear to have his wound dressed. Ex
change. HE BORROWED MONEY.
-
And Yet He Had More Cash In Bank
Than He Could Use.
One morning last year I sat In the
office of the head of a very large busi
ness, one of the shrewdest men 1
know. His cashier came In and laid
on his deslc a report of the cash in
the bank. The amount exceeded $400,
000. "That's a pretty big balance," said
my friend tohis clerk. "It's much
more than we need In this business.
But we have borrowed no money for
several months, so I wish you would
trend to each of our banks a note for
1100,000.''
When .the clerk went out I express
ed surprise at this action. For a man
to borrow $200,000 when he had mm
money than he conld use seemed to
me a wasteful proceeding.
"I do It," he said "to keep my credit
alive. I want the banks accustomed
to lending me money. I want them
to regard a good Hue of credit as a
regular thing with me. Some time I
may need it, and when I do I want to
have It ready and waiting. An estab
lished credit Is a big asset, and the
only way to get and keep it Is to con
stantly employ it"
I have thought of that action a good
many times since. I had always prid
ed myself on not borrowing money.
And I paid cash on tbe 6pot for every
thing that I bought I looked upon
people who bought things on credit as
rather poor financiers.
But a few months ago I wanted
some money a small amount and for
only a mouth. I went to a bank
where I had kept a deposit for over
fifteen years, and they asked me to
deposit good bonds ns collateral to the
full amount of the loan. My friend
could borrow by simply signing a
note. I had to give ample security.

A Fine Distinction.
Sometime a small boy can draw a
fine distinction. Two fishermen of the
sportsman type, equipped with nil the
latest appliances for angling, were
walking a mountain road when they
met a barefooted boy with a tin can In
his hand and a carelessly trimmed
branch of a tree slung over his shoul
der. '
'Hello, sonny!" exclaimed one of
the men. "Going fishing?"
"No," drawled the youngster, with
only a glance at the splendid outfits,
"I ain't goln' fishln'. I'm Just goln
down to the crick to ketch some fish.
Air In the Lungs.
Tn one minute, iu a state of rest, the
average man takes Into his lungs about
48.8 cubic Inches of air. In walking
he needs 97.6 cubic inches; in climb
ing, 140.8 inches; in riding at a trot,
201.3 cubic' inches, and In long dis
tance running, 347.7 cubic inches.

Price Advantages-Why Rot?
When you stop to consider the great
volume of our business and the resultant large orders we
must place with the manufacturers why should we not secure
lower prices?
When our buying power's considered
cash on the spot, why should we not gain extra discounts and
correspondingly lower prices,
When our business, by reason of its
magnitude, reduces the per cent of selling expenses to a point
much below that of stores of smaller volume, why shoud you not
have advantage of it in lower prices?
These and other contributing reasons
show why we are always able to make good our claim that
cur prices oannot be duplicated in this region where the same
quality is involved.
Quality is a hobby with us-we do not
allow any article of questionable worth to become a part .of
our stock. From the simplest to the most elaborate piece we
sell, every one must be worthy to be shown upon our floors.
Come and see. Compare our prices,
whether or not you are ready to buy. The infqrmation now
will be the source of saving later.
