MEAT SUPPLY
[
Cattle Tick Must Be Extermi
nated First, However, Says
Department of Agriculture.
BY HUGH S. MILLER.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ June 4.—It
is to the South that the nation must
look for restoration of its meat sup
ply, according to the department ot
agriculture.
"The South has great possibilities
for the future as a cattle raising coun
try, "says a bulletin issued by the
department.
"Development of the cattle raising
industry in the South, however, must
await the extermination of the cat
tle tick. Fortunately this is being
rapidly accomplished by the joint ef
forts of the Government and the
States. The time has come w'hen we
must conserve our meat supply and
take steps to increase it, and at the
present remunerative prices for food
animals it is probable that this will
be gradually accomplished.
"The shortage in the supply of
meat producing animals in the Un
ited States is steadily becoming more
pronounced, and it is evident that
the country is facing an era of snort
production of meat. In the last six
years there has been a decline of over
thirty per cent, in the number of
beef cattle in the country, while the
population and the consequent de
mand for meat has increased.
"The beef cattle in the country on

NEWBRO’S
HERPIC1DE
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, I lost all my hair. My doc
tor recommended Newbro’s Herpicide.
I used six or eight bottles and now
have a line head of slightly curly
brown hair. Not a gray hair in my
head. This is the more remarkable
as I am middle-aged."
While the results which follow the
use of Newbro’s Herpicide arc always
more or less astonishing, they are al
ways natural Herpicide destroys the
dandruff, stimulates the tlow of blood
to the hair follicles a,r.d keeps the scalp
perfectly healthy. It makes possi
ble a natural and luxuriant growth of i
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. If I
you are not satisfied your money will
be refunded.
Applications may be obtained at
good barber shops. Send 10c in post
age for sample to The Herpicide Co.,
Dept. R., Detroit. Mich.

Veteran Head of L. & N, Bitterly
Opposes State interference
in Railroad Affairs.
Milton H. Smith. the veteran presi
dent of the Louisville and Nashville
Railroad, is in Atlanta taking a lead
ing part in the Alabama 2^-cent pas
senger rate light in the Federal Court
here.
While Mr. Smith is known to be
bitterly opposed 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 tmoney to get in
the newspapers just what I want to
say," said Mr. Smith, declining to be
interviewed.
“Once in a while I -end 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 -ayins
they will be glad to publish it at
regular advertising rates. I can’t sec
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
he 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 I
systems in the United States.

Advertising Frauds
CLEVELAND. June 4.—Members of

The referee will pass on the merits
of advertising offered to publica
tions so that reputable piano deal
ers and the public will be protected
from fraud.
Jan. 1, 1907, numbered 51,566,000; at
the beginning of the present year the
number was only 36,030,000. High
prices were paid last year. For in

Chicago, as against $6.50 the year
before. We no longer have cattle for
export and for the first time in our
history the United States imported
more in 1912 than it exported."

f
POSTUM
"There’s a Reason’
“I used to drink coffee—was nervous and irri
table. Wife said so.
“So when the new food-drink, Instant Postum,
came along she said to herself: 'Here’s where I
break Jack of the coffee habit.’
“Instant Postum is good stuff. I sleep better,
smile more, and miss my indigestion.”
Atlevel teaspoonful of Instant Postum in an ordinary cup of hot water dissolves in
stantly and makes it right for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some people who like strong things put in a heaping
spoonful and temper it with a large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the amount that pleases your palate and have it served that
way in the future.
Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Postum (must he boiled).
Instant Postum ‘doesn’t, require boiling, but is prepared instantly by stirring a level
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water. *
