"A'
LITE t OR A LIFE," by Robert

approriately compered to
those of the) : sold , miner.
for both delve Into ths unknown for
. things that satisfy, with the difference.
Only, that1 the one seeks the mental
' riches, whether they be Instruction, pro
fit or pure .entertainment, while the
Other e5ks the "material wealth;, but
, In both 1b there a striking similarity
.In results: the miner find their streaks,
pay . gravel, an abundance of country
rock, and If he perseveres long enough,
he Is almost , sure to pick up a huget
or two of. pure gold,-beautiful, rich In
values and; valuable enough to pay for
the worthless material : he has worked'
; through. The fiction reader . gets a
, wonderful ' amount of 1 trash, an -occasional
color of value,; and in a great
while he picks up the nuget of pure
. gold, In the form of a story that . Is
so satisfying, so full of thought values,
ha , is-repaid for many a weary hour
-spent in searching through the' lean
' material that is passed to the public
labeled-'liters ture." , , '
"A Life For a Life." la one of the
nugets, -and of such .value as Is rarely
V found In the field of fiction, It Is a
, powerful story dealing with the most
. momentlous question of the day capital
and labor but is so far removed from
the ordinary stories that have attempted
, to handle this question through fiction,
r that it stands in a 'class "by Itself, ' It
,lra story of conditions rather than
problems,, hd without apparently ln
; tending to do So, points the lesson of
.' the , middle" may-rthe brotherhood of
man, rather than the power of capital
, r the lawlessness of tha Anarch. .
Whila hugh Grant la ths figure

Worry
Saves Money
Saves the Hair
If- you want to free your
head 'of dandruff ; and 'stop
fallinghairt you ! must .sooner
or later resorF to,'- Newbro's
Herpicide. -
, - r.
By using Herpicide first vou
save , yourself worry, which is
desirable ; you save ' money,
which is a consideration, and
you, save your hair, which is
the most important of all.'
Why not' profit by the expe
rience of Mrs. S. A. Xee, of
110 South Fourth street, Rich
mond, Va., who writes:- "
"Four years" residence In .
1 '"India ruined my hair until
' ( Jt uss but two Inches leng :
and very thin. I tried every-, -thing
In Europe and Amer
f , lea without: benefit until I- .
was induced to use Herpl- "
cide. My hair i now long, -
' soft; and silky 5 and natural
color, while before It was
quit gray. My friends nev
er tire of admiring my, .hair."
.'!r.-' - , : 1- ! 'r, ,)
Mrs, Lee's story is a typical
history of hair troubles. After
everything else fails, Newbro's
Herpicide brings relief. It
would be just -as effective if
usf;d first.
Newbro's ' Herpicide ' ' kills
the dandruff ' germ and pre
vents falling hair It stops
itching of the scalp almost' in
stantly, : Ho matter what the
claims 'of Others Herbicide Js

In rnkking ; this , discovery Hugh
Grant has traveled the bitter road of
experience, and from the pinnacle of
success, when wealth honors, love were
within his reach, he was - forced W
acknowledge "what the lawless Anarch
said: j "For no longer can you hide the
truth from your heart as others may
by specious words. You know the pri

-near or remote. You who are skilled
