Her Doctor Recommended NEWBRO’S HERP1CIDE While there are no thrills In the narration of Mrs. P. T. Nichols. 623 Broad Street. Beloit, Wis., her story is nevertheless one of amazing inter est. "Stricken with neuralgia and erysipelas. 1 lost all my hair. My doc tor recommended Newbro’s Herpicide. 1 used six or eight bottles and now have a fine head of slightly curly brown hair. Not a gray hair in my head. This is the more remarkable as I am middle-aged."

It makes possi ble a natural and luxuriant growth of hair, except In cases of chronic bald ness While remedies said to be "every bit as good" as Newbro’s Herpicide are frequently offered, one should insist upon having 'the original germ de stroyer." Herpicide. This is genuine. It stops Itching of the scalp almost instantly. Newbro’s Herpicide in 50c and $1 sizes is sold by all dealers, who guar antee it to do all that is claimed.

Smith, the veteran presi dent of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, is in Atlanta taking a lead ing part in the Alabama 214-cent pas senger rate fight in the Federal Court here. While Mr. Smith is known to be [bitterly epposed to State interference with the operation of railroads, he refused to make comment upon his own case. Also, he showed his usual very de cided antipathy for newspaper re porters and photographers. A picture was snapped of him in the lobby of the Piedmont Hotel. It is the first one. published in many years. "It generally costs money to get in the newspapers just what I want to say," said Mr. Smith, declining to be interviewed. “Once in a while I tend a statement to a paper, which, as a rule, is the an swer to statements made by a pub lic official. But mine generally come hack with a nice little letter saying they will be glad to publish it at regular advertising rates. I can't see the fairness in it. but suppose it is because the other fellow happens to be a public official." Mr. Smith merely smiled about the probable outcome of the injunction suit; he thought the country was in good condition; he smiled over what be thought of State Legislatures and Railroad Commissions generally; he smiled over the question of his opin ion of Atlanta. . . No more interesting figure in rail road circles can be found than Mil- ton H Smith. As head of the Louis ville and Nashville Railroad he has developed it into one of the strongest systems in the United States. This is the first picture of the noted railway head published in many years. King of Italy Hurls Bombs From Airship Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
