TO KILL THE DANDRUFF GERM.
Eh the Onlr Possible Way of Having
An Effective Cure.
If you see a woman or a man with lux
uriant glossy hair, you may be sure nel-i
ther has dandruff to amount to anything.
In nearly every case where women and
men have thin brittle hair, they owe it
to dandruff. There are hundreds of prep
arations that "claim” to cure dandruff,
but not one but Newbro’s Herpicide tells
you that dandruff is the result of a germ
burrowing into the scalp, and that per
manent cure of dandruff and its conse
quent falling and baldness, can only be
had by killing the germ; and there is no
other preparation that will destroy that
germ but Newbro’s Herpicide. "Destroy
the cause, and you remove the effect.”

Relief Is Possible.
It is D jssible to obtain relief from
chronic indigestion ard dyspepsia by
the use of KODOL FOR DYSPEPSIA.

the »fil fiency of the digestive organs.

A SCARCITY OF LABOR LIKELY
Due to Fact That So Many Have
Gone Away.
The departure of 150 or 200 laborers
from Americas and this immediate
vicinity to to do speeiai
wort is not at all calculated to help the
labor eituution here, where already
good labor is difficult lo employ. Oaly
two or three days ago 110 mechanics,
brickmasocs aud ordinary field hands
left Americus in a bunch to work in
the railroad shops in the c jlony capital,
and another oons'gnment will go
hence tomorrow. Whi’e there may
be a temporary over-supply of carpen
ters here just at present, there is a
severe shortage of ordinary day labor
ers, needed now to work the crops,
and the farmers will feel k.enly the
carrying away of several hundred such
negro mer. It is possible tba’ this
libor deportation matter is one for in
vestigation at the hands of the Board
of Trade, which is interested as much
in b6ha f of the farmers as aey other
industrial class here

Rain
Americas rode on the wa’er wagon
all right yesterday. The shower of the
day previous was but the prelude to
the downpour following yesterday
evening. For Bevera! hours a heavy
rain fell here, accompan ; ed by vivid
lightning. Tue rair, apparently, was
general over the county and section
and will vastly benefit the crops. The
local weather doctors now predict a
“wet May” with daily rains and
growing grass in the cotton fields,
baaing their opinion on the rains com
ing the first of the month.

A grod complexion is impossible with
the stomach out of order. If pasty sal

their stomaehs and less to the skin cn
their faces, they would have better com
