Plain Facts About the Hair.
It is Ihe duty of every ono who is interested in
hair preservation to learn enough about the subject to
tell whether an advertisement for n hair remedy is
reasonable or unreasonable. In this connection, the
United States Post Ofllce department has begun a
much needed campaign against false and misleading
statements in advertisements in general. Whilo this
work is highly commendable and should bo greatly ex
tended, still at the same time it tends to paternalism
rather than to personal self-reliance. IF YOU know
that the claims for a hair remedy are unreasonable
and untrue, that knowledge will save you monoy and
prevent disappointment.
Tho (rouble Uo9 in the fact that certain over am
bitious Proprietors employ advertising writers who do
not know the composition of the remedies they write
about, and even if they did, they aro not expected to
know tho therapeutic action of tho various ingredients.
Two very familiar and oft repeated statements are,
that the hair must be watered and fed just like a
plant, and that tho color of tho hair, once destroyed,
can bo restored, by natural procesB. While both of
these statements are false in every particular, it re
quires some little knowledge of tho hair follicle to
understand why tho statements aro false.
The hair follicle is a pear shaped sack in tho
scalp that holds tho hair root, At tho bottom of tho
hair follicle and extending up into it for a short dis
tance, is a nipple shaped projection that remains in the
scalp when a hair root is forcibly pulled out. This pro
jection is tho hair papilla from which tho hair "root"
grows. The continuous addition to tho bottom of the
hair root, forces the hair proper out through theBcalp.
. The hair papilla is surrounded by the hair root,
which thus takes a bulbous form. Above the hair root
or bulb which occupies about three-fourths of tho
entire follicle is the neck of tho hair follicle, below
which tho moat penetrating fluids known to Medical
Science cannot penetrate. Therefore, tho Btory of
feeding the starved and impoverished hair roots with
an external application is all a myth,

The short portion of tho hair follicle abovo its
neck opens somewhat like n funnel and is filled with
tho outer scalp akin. Opening irito this outer portion
aro tho highly important oil or sebaceous glands which,
from their location, are most exposed to disease. When
these oil glands becomo infected with a certain micro
bic growth (tho cause of dandruff) there is hair disenso
and finally hair death. Fortunately this outer portion
of tho hair follicle can bo treated bv carefully rubbing
into tho scalp a Buitablo remedy. What remedy should
bo uaod? Manifestly ono that will destroy tho growth
that causes dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair.
Newbro's llerplclde is the first remedy that was
prepared for tho particular purposo of destroying this
invisible vegetable- growth. In fact, it is called tho
"ORIGINAL remedy that kills tho dandruff germ."
Newbro's Herplcido was not made until after Prof.
Unna, of Hamburg, Germany (ask your doctor about
him) discovered that dandruff is a highly contagious
diseaso caUsed by a microbe. Tho nlmost marvelous
success of Newbro's Herpicide has caused advertising
writers to claim germicidal properties for other hair
romedies, many of which wore on tho market years
before Prof. Unna's discovery.
Do you think that this new claim for old remedies
is a reasonable one? Remember, that the hair gets its
life, color and strength direct from the
blood, and that good blood, deep breathing
and sunlight iavor hair development. Out
door exerciso, to insure free circulation in tho scalp,
also scalp massaging for the same purpose, arc ver
helpful. Worry, indigestion and sedentary habita op
pose hair growth, while tho dandruff germ will actual
ly destroy tho hair, unless it is eradicted and kept out
of the scalp with Nowbro's Herpicide.
Herplcido is delightfully cooling and refreshing to
the scalp and almost marvelous results sometimes fol
low its continued use. It stops itching of tho scalp al
most Instantly.

Mombers of tho B. of R. T. nnd tho
O. R. C. aro interesting thomuolvos in
tho passago of n bill which has been
introduced in tho legislature providing
that n freight train shall not exceed
fifty cars, and making it unlawful for
an official to rcqulro any cmployo to go
upon or over tho top of any moving
train equipped with air brakes in work
ing order. Tho bill also providos that
a crew shall consist of nn cnginoor,
fireman, conductor and two brakemcn.
Tho bill is intended to protect tho Hvos
of employes and tho travoling public,
expedite the movement of freight and
at the same time mako tho work of the
train crew less nrduous. It looks to us
as though, in tho faco of tho constant
ly increasing tonnage of freight trains,
that tho measure should pass. If tho
emnloyes do not make some protest
against the increased tonnage, 100 car
trains will be the rule within tho next
fow years.

McDONELL & GRAVES,

Some Facts Concerning the Revival.
Over ono hundred people havo in soma
way shown personal interest in tho
stop toward christian living in the past
fow week8. Of this number sovonty
fivo havo made definito surrender and
open profession of salvation through
Jesus Christ. Thirty-threo of these
wero men. Most all of thoso others
who havo not gono all tho way but
havo openly shown interest woro men.
Among tho converts four gavo as their
church profcrenco Christian, eight
Presbyterian, eight Mothodist, several
had no proforonco, and forty poferred
tho Baptist church. Twonty-two of
thoso havo already been baptised, two
havo boon received otherwise, two
stand approved for baptism and tho
reBt are waiting to come before tho
church as Boon as poasiblo. Theso fig
ures represent just tho work accom
plished during tho Bpccial meetings in
tho hall. The money handled in doing
this work haB bcon about $525. This
includes traveling expenses $100; actual
running exponBca about $200, and free
will offering to tho evnngollat and his
wifo $1G9.00; and only $05 of this total
amount camo from outside tho Baptist
congregation, asido of course from tho
evening collection. All this ia gratify
ing especially when It is remembered
that the evangelist wuh hero only two
weeks.
But tho Bpccial interest was here .
long bofore ho came and will continue
on. Tho Baptist church building hao
not been largo enough to hold the
crowds at tho ovening service now for
many weeks, and ihe work has been
multiplying and tho membership
of tho church increasing rapidly.
Sinco tho first of December nearly
forty members havo been received
into tho church. Out of thirty
two baptism- 11 ft con havo boon males,
eight of them have been heads of
families. Ao said above, tho interest
will continue and tho good work will be
done in regular services of tho church.
Tho ordinanco of baptism will bo ad
ministered again next Sunday night,
and thia will bo tho caso, no doubt,
each Sunday evening for eomo timo to
como. Thoso wishing to attend these
services must como oarly, as was the
caso last Sunday night. By 7:85 the
houso wua packed to tho door, includ
ing tho choir chairs, extra chairs in
tho rear and the Sunday school junior
chairs. Then large crowds wore turned
away.
Next Monday night a reception will
bo given for all tho new mombers of
tho church. This will bo held in tho
Unitarian hall 7:30. member..
