HERPICIDE
The man who wears a toupee does
not like Itf but has the courage of his
conviction.
Nature never Intended that the top
of the head should be left entirely
without protection. A bald head is
Aery susceplbl? to contraction of colds'
and neuralgia. Wearing an artificial
top piece- counteracts this tendency,
and, aside from the Improvement In
the personal appearance, Is amply
Justlflet).
How much better It would have
been, had the man, now chronically
bald and wearing a toupee, but re
alized earlier in life the appreachlng
danger and devoted a little regular
attention to his hair, which would
have saved it.
There Is a remedy which will abso
lutely prevent baldness. Loss of hair
in nlne.cases out of ten It unnecessary,
being line', to dandruff and the germ
that causes it. This germ must be
destroyed and the accumulations of
dandruff checked. Then the hair will
not fall out, but Instead will grow nat
urally and luxuriantly.
-. Newbro's Herplclde Is the remedy,
regular applications of which will do
this. It has long been known as the
original remedy that kills the dandruff
germ and is absolutely dependable.
Newbro's Herplclde in 60c and $1.00
sizes is sold by all dealers who guar
antee it to do all that is claimed. If
you are not satisfied your money will
be refunded.
Herplclde applications may always
be obtained at the better barber shops
and hair dressing parlors.
Anyone desiring to try Newbro's
Herplclde before purchasing a large
bottle will receive a nice sample and
booklet by sending lOo in postage or

TRINITY ATHLETICS
College Withdraws From S. I. A. A.
for a Period of Tlireo Years the
Reasons.
Correspondence of The Gazette-Newt. ',
Trinity College, Durham, Dec. 17.
As announced in the press dispatches
from New Orleans the request of Trin
ity college to be allowed to withdraw
from the 8. I. A. A. for a period of
three years was granted.
The following resolutions, proposed
by the faculty, adopted by. the Ath
letic council, and approved by the
president, now become the law gov
erning Inter-colleglate athletics at
Trinity college: .
( 1 ) We ask for withdrawal from
the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic
HSHoclatio'n for a period of three years
to improve our general athletic situa
tion by making alliances with colleges
in our own Immediate territory.
(2) That the eligibility of players
who represent the college be deter
mined by the rules governing the S. I.
A. A. bs printed in the catalogue of
Trinity college for 1'911-'12.
(3) That the interpretation and en
forcement of these rules be placed in
the. hands of the faculty committee
on athletics.
(4),,We urge , the athletic manage
ment In all Its departments to use
the utmost endeavor to promote the
pliyslcal well being of all the students,
but at the same time to keep athletics
duly subordinated to the main con
cerns of college life, and In the inter
nal administration of athletics duly
subordinated to the main concerns of
college life, and In the internal ad
ministration of; - athletics and n
forming alliances with other colleges
to take all' possible precautions to
protect and foster the , Ideals end
U editions concerning amateur ath
letics that have become established at
Trinity college the, past fifteen years.
There will be no change In the ath
letic policy at Trinity except that
arrangements with other colleges may
be made direct rather than through
the S. I. A. A.

EVERYTHING ELECTRI-
: CAL. ' ,
PIEDMONT ELECTRIC CO.
The report of the division of the In
ternal revenue department under R. B.
Sams for last month shows a very
noticeable decrease in the number of
seizures of illicit distilleries compared
with other months. A large percent
age of this decrease, however, is at'
tributed to the fact that a number of
the men had to attend sessions of Fed
eral court.
Teh actual number of seizures
shown is 34, which is the smallest for
the year, the largest running over 80.
Of this number one plant was a regis
tered fruit distillery, and was seined
on account of Irregularities. -A large
amount of liquor was seized at the
same time. At the other plants whls
key to the amount of 190 gallons was
taken during the month.
Eighteen prosecutions were recom
mended on account of the seizures
made, which is a large percentage.
One important item shown in the re'
port is that special taxes approximat
ing 13000 were collected in North Car
olina, and about $500 was collected in
Virginia and Tennessee.
The record for this month, in point
of seizures, will doubtless be much
greater than for last. About 20 plants
have been taken already. Reports
were received yesterday from Deputy
Collector Pool and Special Employe
Nitzer of the seizure of two plants in
Burke county. Nearly all the distil
leries seized this month have been big
ones, and a large number have hzen
found with full equipment.
WALL STREET GOSSIP.
New York, Dec. 17. Reading fell
back at the opening of the market to-
ay after its rapid rise of yesterduy,.
yielding two points In the first teW
transactions. The general list was ir
regular with a downward tendency
among the most active stocks.
Smelting lost a point, Lehigh Val
ley 1 1-4 and Steel and Tennessee Coal
. Canadian Faclnc and rubber rose
point each.
Declines were largely extended niter
the first few minutes of business, the
rapid fall of Reading to 165 1-8 dis
turbing bullish confidence as to the
permanency of yesterday's buoyant
rally. Losses reached about a point
elsewhere, but the whole list rose
smartly later.
NEW YORK COTTON.
.New York, Dec. 17. Cotton opened
steady at an advance of four to seven
points on relatively firm cables and
private advices reporting very small
offerings .from the south in the Eng
lish market again this morning. At
the advance the market eased off to
net loss of five or six points during
the early trading. Trade interests ap
peared to be buying on declines in suf
ficient volume to steady prices on a
scale down and; caused moderate
rallies.
