Newbro’s
The Original Remedy that “Kills the dandruff germ"
“Travelling as I do continuously, I have been
troubled a great deal with dandruff and falling
hair, and until I tried Herpicide I never found a
remedy that was satisfactory.
“Herpicide is a delightful preparation that ful
fills the claims made for it, and no lady’s toilet is
complete without it. I highly recommend it to
my friends. (Signed) ANNIE OAKLEY.”

It is certainly significant that Miss Oakley, the celebrated
rifle shot .and theatrical star, who has travelled so extensively
abroad, should choose Newbro’s Herpicide as the most effcacious
toilet remedy for the >scalp. -No one will doubt her opportunity,
to choose the best and those who have seen the natty and win
some Miss Oakley, will not doubt her power-of discrimination in
matters of this sort.
Newbro’s Herpicide is a scientific germicide and prophylactic
for the hair and scalp, it destroys the germ or microbe that
causes dandruff, itching scalp and falling hair, after which the
hair will grow as nature intended. Extraordinary results follow
the use of Newbro’s Herpicide.
If your hair is dull, brittle or lustreless, don’t wait until it
begins to fall, but save it with Newbro’s Herpicide. In addition
to its wonderful medicinal qualities, Newbro’s Herpicide is the
daintiest and most delightfully refreshing hair dressing available.
The first application proves its goodness. Try it.

Capt. H. T. Wiggins Talks
Interestingly of Bringing
First B. & W. Train Into
Albany. 24 Years Ago.
“Just twenty-four yenrs ago today,”
said Capt. H. T. Wiggins, of the At
lantic Const Line road, “I brought the
first train Into Albany over, the then
Brunswick. & Western, but now A. C.
L. railroad."
“My!” continued the popular con
ductor, “how the town has ohanged!"
It Is not surprising that these re
marks, made within hearing of a Her
ald reporter this morning, should have
made him prick his ears In anticipa
tion of. the good story which he knew
Capt. Wiggins was on the point of tell
ing, should he be given the proper en
couragement. And this encouragement
was given by a look of intense inter
est that beamed on the news-gath
erer’s face and by a ■ few pertinent
questions which open the - flood-gates
of memory In this .genial railroader,
releasing a very deluge of interesting
recollections.
“Yes, sir,” continued Capt. Wiggins,
“I shall never forget that bright April
morning, twenty-four years ago today
when I brought the first passenger
train across the B. ft W. bridge over
Flint river. Up to that time the trains
had been brought as far as Bast Al
bany, but, having no bridge, and not
having been able to make any arrange
ments to use the S. F. & W. bridge,
no B. ft W. passenger train had ever
entered Albany.
"The bridge had not been finished
by any .means when this first train
was sent across It, and the next day
when I saw the condition of the bridge
which I had crossed it mads me shud
der. How we ever got over safely Is
more than I have been able to figure
out till this day. But the running of
that train mpant.q, great deal to the B.
ft W. road. Several thousand dollars—
several hundred thousand dollars, per
haps. Some big deal, either in the
stocks or the bonds ot the road, was j
conditioned upon . the completion of i
ostingly to a Herald reporter today, 1b
one of the most populai men on the
A. C. L. road, both with the patrons
and officials ot that line. He has re
cently had his lay-over changod from
Brunswick to Albany, and will bring
his Interesting faiftlly here on the 1st
of May. They will occupy the cottage
of Mrs. S. D. Jones on Pine street and
will be a valuable acquisition to the
city.

The Web of Ventee. '
In Venice one 1s ns It caught In an
Immense network, or spider’s web,
which, as one walks In Its midst, seems
to tighten the closer about one. The
streets narrow overhend, push outward
with beams and stone bulconles and
many turning unglos; seem to looson
their,hold for n moment where a bridge
crosses a narrow cnnnl between high
walls and over dark water and then
tighten again In close laues where tlio
smells of the shops meet and fume
about one's face. The lanes are busy
with mou In rough clothes and with
women in shawls, bareheaded and with
great soft bushes of hair, who coino
and go quietly, slipping past one anoth
er in these narrow spaces, where there
Is hardly room to pass, as the gondolas
slip past one another In the nnrrow
canals. The road Is difficult to find,
for n single wrong turning may lead
one to the other end of Venice. This
movement, the tangles ot (he way, the
continual arresting of one’s .attention
by sopie window, doorway or balcony
put a strain upon one's eyes nnd begin
after a time to tire nnd stupefy the
brain. There Is no more bewildering
city, and as night cgmes on the be
wilderment grows almost disquieting.

OAKLAND HAS
ENOUGH PROVISIONS.
Oakland, Cal., April 27.—Fifty carB
of provisions arrived here today for
the sufferers. So great Is the quantity
of provisions arriving that notice Has
been sent to Interior cities and towns
of the state to hold consignments until
the supplies now on the way here have
been used.
Rcfitlnir n Model.
Many artists have the reputation of
being Inexorable In their demands up
on the model's strength. A character
istic example appears In an anecdote
of tho Into Adolphe Mansel, the Ger
man pnlnter, who nt one time was en
gaged on a work of mural deoorntlon
and kept a man posed In an exceeding
ly fatiguing position on a scaffold for
two hours. The grent pnlnter worked
away, heedless of his model’s discom
fort. Finally the victim called down,
“Herr Professor, how ubout the re-'
cess?”
“Certainly, my dear sir. Come down
right away, nnd yon shall have your
recess.” : i
As tho model was descending from
the scaffolding his limbs assuined] a
position which was one for whiph the
artist find long been looking.
“Stop!” Jfenzel thundered. “Hold!
Ah, fine! Keep that whllo I make a
little sketch of It!”
The artist drew vigorously for half
an hour, at tho end of which ho called
out Imperatively: "There, that will do
for now. Get up on the scaffold again.
We have had our recess."
The Town's Crooked Dividing Line.
“There Is a reason for most every
thing,” said a Cumberland county man
when he was asked how In the world
they came to have such a crooked line
between two towns in his county?
"There’s a reason for thls crooked line:

into Albany, which answered the pur
pose so far as the big deal was con
cerned.
“I tell you, there have been some
wonderful changes In Albany since I
brought that first train across an un
finished bridge into what was only a
little South Georgia town. If the Al
banians of the present generation 1
could look back aid. see the Albany
of that day and time, they would not
recognize the place. There have been
so many and such vital changes that I
would not know where to begin to en
umerate them. Why, nearly every
thing has changed! Practically every
thing Is new. Tlie buildings that were
here then, most nt them, at least, have
-been so changed and modernized as
scarcely to be recognized as the same
structures that served as the . homes
and business buddings of the embry
onic Albany of the eighties.
“It . makes a follow feel 'kinder'
old, continued Mr. Wiggins, “to think
about all these things. Just to think,
there are only two of us left now, Old
John Golding and I. We are the only
men who are no w running on the B. ft
W. division of the A. C, L. who were
in the employ of the road In the days
of which I speak. All the other old
fellows have left the road, either for
more attractive paths and pursuits In
this world, or have crossed over Into
the Great Beyond. It makes old John
and me feel pretty close to each other
and binds us with a tie stronger than
mere friendship, when we think that
of all the old boys we are the only
two remaining on duty.
“Twenty-four years ago today! How
time speeds, and what great changes
it works! We used to have some great
times down the road In those days.
Some of the country through which
the road ran was pretty rough and un
developed. A conductor almost took
his life In his hands every time he
went out on a train crer the road.
Those backwoodsmen would come up
to Albany and fill up on whiskey, and
there would be troublesome times for
the train crew which pulled them back
home. A conductor had to face the
music boldly, for to give an Inch
would have meant to lose control of
his train and hlB own life, no doubt
It was great times we used to have, I
tell you.”

Professional Fees.
It Is sometimes claimed that the sur
geon or the physician Is the only man
who Is paid for his mistakes, but that
is clearly untrue. Lawyers receive fees
for the cases that they lose, and other
men are not "docked” whenever thoy
fall short of complete success. The
truth Is that the Idea of human com
pensation Is bnsed upon Intelligent,
honest effort and reputed skill. If nil
fees nnd salaries were contingent upon
absolute perfection In the tusk under
taken they would have to ho Increased
many times over, since absolute per
fection or complete success Is very
rare In any line of activity.—Chicago
Chronicle.
Decapitating Word,.
A writer In the Loudon Chronicle
says: “Our language's trick of dccupl-
tatlng words, us lu 'bus,' 'phnuc' and
wig,’ Is not at all a modern fulling.
Take the common words 'spend' und
‘sport.’ 'Our very early ancestors hud
tho verb ‘spendan,’ and yet 'spend' Is
really a disguising abbreviation of the
Latin ‘dis-pendere,’ to pay out. 'Sport'
Is another very old English word, yet It
Is really 'disport'—‘dls-port,’ to carry
apart, which acquired the metaphorlcul
sense of pleasure or umusement pre
cisely as 'divert' and ‘transport.’ ”
