Oct. blowers forced their way into the offices of Kent Company, P. K. Wilson's E. elevator and the Cornish Lumber Company sometime during Sunday night and after that attempting to blow one safe, rifling contents of another that was not locked, and searching vainly in another office for the safe that was not.

departed undisturbed, without a cent of booty to reward them for their efforts. No one suspected that anything was wrong last night not even the night policeman. Joe McCoid said that he a low. dull explosion something like a railroad torpedo along about ten in the evening and supposed that was what it was. The veggmen found their way into the offices of the E.

Kent Company through the doorway and evidently went right to. work on the safe. The combination was not on. but the door was closed and the bolt turned and as it worked hard these "experts" no doubt believed it to be locked.

The card which was to furnish the information that "This safe is not locked." to such violators had been removed the safe was painted recently, that the would be Where crackers would have no doubt been thankful for.

A charge had been exploded on the safe but very little damage was done, only a small piece was broken from the upper edge of the door. Soap wag blown all around on the floor and ceiling and 3 liberal piece of fuse and burnt matches were all that told of the unsuccessful onslaught on the safe. A window on the west side of the office had been pried up at the Wilson elevator to gain an entrance and marks pointed to all attempt to force the door. Nothing was disturbed in the office as there is 110 safe. The east door afforded entrance to the Cornish Lumber Companies offices and as the safe was not locked the reggmen did not have a chance to try their skill again.

All the papers in the safe were scattered the office this morning. The box in which the money is kept in the day time had been pried open but it was like an empty house. So far no papers have been missed and it is probable that the only benefit that the house breakers got was the experience in safe blowing. It seems to be the general opinion that the jobs were the work of amatures as no experienced safe blowers would try to blow a lumber yard safe that, was not locked nor would try three places in succession if they were not sure that there was some cash in sight.

TO CURE DANDRUFF. It Is Necessary That the Dandruff Germ Be Eradicated. "Destroy the cause, you remove the etfect." KIll the germ that a causes druff, falling hair and baldness, you will have no dandruff and your hair must grow luxuriantly. Herpicide not only contains the dandruff germ destroyer, but it is also a most delightful hair dressing for regular tollet use. No other hair preparation is on this scientific basis of destroying the dandruff germ, and none other claims to be.

for the simple reason that it is only I recently that a destroyer of the germ has been discovered-Newbro's Herpicide, the only bair preparation that actually kills dandruff.
