SOFT, GLOSSY 1IAIH,
It Can Onljr Q Had Where There la
No Dandruff,
Any man or woman .who wants soft,
glossy hair must be free of dandruff, which
causes falling hlr. Blue it has become
known that dandruff Is a germ disease the
old hair preparations, that k were 'mostly
scalp Irritants, have been abandoned and,
the public, barbers, and doctors Included,
have taken to using Nawbro'a Herplclde,
the only hair preparation that kills the dan
druff germ. B. Dodd, Dickinson, N. D.,
says: "Herplclde not only cleanses the
ucalp from dandruff an prevents the hair
falling out, biit promotes a new growth.
Herplcldo keeps my' hair very glossy."
EUROPEANS FEAR AMERICA
Manufacturer! aid Bankers Uneasy Geo
earning Competition of United States.
COMMERCIAL SOND WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE
Kx-Senator Waahbnrn Say Trndea
tea aad Financiers See We Will
Soon Onlstrlp Them Nations
Cannot Unite Against Us,
LONDON, Aug. 21. Former Senator W.
D, Washburn of Minneapolis, prior to sail
ing for home on the steamer St. Louis to
day, said to a representative of the As
sociated Press that he had found consider
able uneasiness among tho bankers and
manufacturers on the contlnont concerning
American competition.
"They perceive," ho added, "that we arc
Just getting ready, and In no respect Is It
likely they can beat us In the future. How
long can Europe stand to pay a balance of
trado of $650,000,000 a year after all our
securities are sent back? Some nblo con
tinental observers to whom I put tho Inquiry
wero unable to answer. They fear us."
Commenting on tho "fantastic Idea of n
commercial bond of the European nations
against tho United States," tho Outlook
says:
"One might as well try to hang a Venetian
blind over tho sun as to try to exclude
the Influence of American Industries from
the world. For one thing, Great Britain
would be no party to tho bond, For an
other, the power of American reprisals
would be terrible. Even now Germany Is
on the verge of a struggle between clauaos,
caused by the proposed tariff. Under the
Gorman tariff Austria would suffer griev
ously. It Is not as easy to see how coun
tries which- are at Issue with themselves
and each other, and whoso fiscal arrange
ments excite class against class, could agree
on a policy against a commerce competitor."
"Mamma," said Tommy, after he had Just
received a round scolding that he thought
he didn't deserve. "Why don't you start
taking baths at that place In tho Bee
building again?" It started mother think
ing that she waa all ruu down with the
summer heat, tired, nervous and cross, too,
so she telephoned 1716 and mado an ap
pointment tor the next morning.

FOR SMUGGLING IN CHINESE
Collector of Customs at Ngalei and Othtn
Taken late Omitodj.
BtST ARREST OF ITS KIND EVER MADE
Customs Ofllcluls nnd Secret Service
Men Ilrenk I'p n Gang Working
Systematically Along the
Mexlcnu Ilorder.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24. Probably tho
most Important arrests ever mado in con
nection with tho smuggling of Chlneso
across the Mexican border into the United
States were made yesterday in the arrest
of William M. Hoey, collector of customs at
Nogalcs; U. F. Jossey, nn Immigrant Inspoc
tor; Frank How, a Chinaman living In No-
gates, and another Chinaman living at Cllf
ton, Mcx., Just across the border from No
gales, who wero taken Into custody by spO'
clal agents of tho treasury and secret scrv.
Ico operatives. Other nrrcsts are expected to
follow within a day or two. It Is stated that
with two or thrco exceptions tho whole cus
toms and Immigration administrations at
Nogales are Involved. Somo tlmo ago an
official of the Treasury department, hnvlng
Nognles as his headquarters, wrote tho de
partment that ho had reason to believe tho
official forco at that point was corrupt and
that Chlneso In large numbers wero being
smuggled across tho border tor a considera
tion. A secret service operatlvo was sent
thcro at onco and plans laid to secure evl
denco against tho persons under suspicion.
Soveral Chinamen were furnished with
money nnd sent on to buy their way through
the official cordon. This was accomplished
without difficulty, tho price demanded being
from ISO to $200.
The secret service men also arranged with
ono or two employes whose honesty had
been tested to go Into tho collector's office
at a certain tlmo and demand a share of the
money being received from Chinamen nnd
to be admitted Into tho combination so that
they might get their share of tho proceeds
of future deals. This was reluctantly agroed
to and considerable sums of money wero
handed over In tho presence and full hear
lng of a secret servlco man who had provl
ously secreted himself in a nearby
odlco closet. The officials soon found
that Chinamen who presented a
certificate marked with tho letter A were
allowed to proceed without question, while
thoso having certificates that did not bear
this cabalistic mark wero turned back
without ceremony. Later on It was de
veloped that tho lcttor A on a certificate
indicated that the amount demanded had
been paid. Several Chinamen were sent
through with the requisite A mark on their
certificates, made by ono of the secret
service men.
Tho utmost care nnd secrecy was main
tained from the first to secure posltlvo proof
against each man under suspicion. A spe
cial United States attorney will bo de
tailed to prosecute tho persons arrested.
Hoey was appointed collector about a year
and a half ago. His home Is n Muncle,
Ind. Jossey came from the state of Wash
ington. When Hoey received bis appoint
ment ho camo to Washington to recelvo In
structlons as to his duties and at that time
Secretary Gage took occasion to talk with
him on tho subject of the duty of public
officials. He was cautioned to avoid every
temptation to wrong-doing and that to a
certain limited extent the honor of the
government was placed In his hands, fee
setary Gage explained 'that his predeces
sor at Nogales had been displaced because
of, certain alleged violations of the civil
servlco laws and regulations and ' warned
him that his administration of the offtco
must be at all times clean and above sua
plclon, for his honor and that of his coun
try.
The number of Chinamen who have
bought their way Into the United States
through tho alleged connivance of the
Nogales officials Is not known, but It Is
believed to be large. A 'special agent haa
been ordered to Nogales to take charge of
the office if he finds it necessary.
Astounded the Editor.
Editor S. A. Brown of Bennettsville, S.
C, was once Immensely surprised.
"Though long suffering from Dyspepsia,"
ho writes, "my wife was greatly run down.
Sho had no strength or vigor and suffered
great distress from her stomach, but Bhe
tried Electric Bitters which helped her at
onco, and, after using four bottles, she Is
entirely well, can eat anything. It's a
grand tonic, and Its gentle laxative qualities
are splendid for torpid liver." For Indi
gestion, Loss of Appetite, Stomach and
Liver troubles it's a positive, guaranteed
cure. Only 50c at Kuhn & Co., Corner 15th
