Lamb and mutton are apparently be- ing hela here pending further boosts, as during the period mentioned only 621,806 pounde were exported and there are now 7,100,000 pounds in cold storage. In this connection it might be sald that during the war the citizens of France and England got mighty well sick of mutton—that bel fed to them instead of beef.

The oo a of these come from enthusiastic users of Herpicide.« A recent one—dwelling upon, the great possibilities for business in ussia—is so unusual that we publish ex- cerpts from it: “Why don’t you distribute free of charge a few thousand gallons of Newbro’s Herpicide in Russia and employ barbers to opPy it” , ‘My idea is that an a of American barbers supplied with hair clippers would soon put an end to the chaos in Russia.” “Samson became normal following a hair cut and the Populist party was clipped off by western barbers.” Continuing, our correspondent lays down this broad, general rule: “Wherever women cut their hair short and men wear long shaggy hair, the whole bunch is on its way back to the stone age.” We submit all this for what it is worth, but _we do feel certain that the great army of Herpicide users, as a class, are reasonably considerate of and kindly disposed to others. . _.We believe that the men who use Her- picide are given more to labor than to con- troversy and we doubt if there is a soap box orator among them. That the women users of Herpicide are rational and exceptionally attractive is known and recognized by everyone. ‘ “More Power to Herpicide”’ %* —_ Horpicide ‘eradicates dandruff, stops itching of scalp, retards hair less and beautifies the hair.
