It holds the secret of popularity and pleases every one who is discriminating enough to It will not stain the hair. The curative effect of Herpicide is sometimes little short of marvelous, for after the dandruff germ is destroyed, and kept out of the scalp, the hair is bound to grow as nature intended.

CALL BUREAU POST BUILDING, WASHINGTON, May 27.—Colonel C. R. Edwards, in charge of ‘the Washington office of the Panama Canal Commission, recently addressed an inquiry to Secretary Drake of the Panama Railroad Company as to the price paid for steel rails. The information shows that the railroad could get rails at less thdn twenty-eight dollars a ton only after the steel trust had been assured that the rails were going outside the United States. Drake says that the uniform price for steel ralls. in the United States for the .last twelve months has been $28 a ton, while in foreign markets it was only $24. ‘When rails are sold In the United States for export, the prices have varied, belng arranged by direct negotiation between the purchaser and the manufacturer, without any officlal record being made of the transaction. Drake convinced the manufacturers that Colon was foreign territory and that the rails were going there and nowhere else and was granted a price of $27 a ton for first quality and $2175 a ton for sec- ond-class seventy-pound rafls. The Panama raflroad bought 1200 tons of rails last January at $25 for first-class and $24 for second-class and more recently purchased 2500 tons for the canal commis- sion and 3600 tons for the railroad at §2645. All these contracts were made in competition with foreign manufacturers, whose last price was $25 f. o. b. at New York and for $2775 c. i. f. at Colon, ex- clusive of whart and pon charges.
