Preventative for the Hair.

KITCHEN & HENDERSON'S HAIR
N PRESERNATlNE has now been in use
nearly four years, and has proved itself to be
the besI article for improving the growth and
beauty of the hair that has ever been invented
as hundreds are ready to testify. 1t entirely
stops the hair from coming out and imparts 10
it strength and vigor, and gives TO hair the
most coarse and harsh, a soft and glossy ap-
pcarancc. 1t also removes all scurf and dan
duff from the skin and head which ought al
ways TO he kept out in order to have healthy
growth of hair because if allow ed to accumn
late, it becomes imbedded around the roots of
the hair and clogs up the pores Of the skin,
thereby preventing free and healthy action.
The consequence is the hair becomes dry and
dead, and very soon begins to show signs of de-
cay and falling off, All this can be prevented
by a proper use of this preservative, as it gives
life and action to the skin, and at the same
lime imparts nourishment and strength to the
hair, and leaves it soft and glossy without being
greasy.

Laws may be made repugnant to our moral
natures, subversive of every idea of justice and
right in the mind, and under such circumstances
the extent to which an individual is bound to vi
olate the laws of his being, by observing such
laws, may be question But such laws so sell
dom exist in republican government, that it may
be said to be the duty of every good citizen to
observe and obey the laws. 1t is the only safety
we have, and it is equally the duty and interest
Of all. A law may be Objectionable, but we have
the ballot box on purpose to remedy such oblec-
tons If refuse to-day to observe law which
does not please me, you, tomorrow, will refuse
to observe one which does not please you, and
anarchy, which is destructive 10Th of your inter-
est and mine, is introduced. But there is another
reason why it may be good policy to observe even
an Objectionable law, viz to the end that it may
sooner be repealed A really Objectionable law
can exist on our statute book no longer than I'M
til it has had fair trial, and it should be the OBJ
ject of the opponents of the law, TO give it this
trial. Take our present liquor law, for instance.
One man says it is an excellent law, another says
it is highly Objectionable. Here is an issue,
which You can test in no other way than by gil
wing the law fair trial, and if the objector to the
law has any confidence in his own position and
opinion, he ought to be the first one to demand
that the law shall be respected and fairly tried
An opposite course on his part, is practical con-
tradcton of his opinion that the law is not good
one.
Let then, that law, and all others which NAV
be deemed Objectionable be tested, to the end
that their real characters may be known. Only
in that way can intelligent and satisfactory
result be arrived at. To elect then, or seek TO
elect mon to office, who lack either the capacity
or inclination to enforce the laws we have is bad
policy for all of us. Thereby, no satisfactory re-
suit can ever be attained, but strife and ill-feeling
will be perpetualIy engendered. On the other
hand let the law be enforced if it be bad, we
shall then know it and all good men will unite
for its repeal and it will be repealed if it be good
certainly no good man will desire its repeal
Let US then recognize the supremacy ofthe laws,
let us elect men to Office who will firmly but
mildly enforce the law, and when by its working
we know it to be wrong, let us unite as one man
for its repeal.

Knock Down,

Every few days we hear of some one having
been knocked down at night, in our streets, and
robbed, but we never yet have heard of any at
tempt to bring the perpetrators Of these offences
to punishment, Citizens are living along endu-
ring these things, in the hope, we suppose, that
our new city government will furnish security
against all these dangers. Perhaps it will. 1t
will certainly, if the powers conferred on the 60
vernment are enforced. But that is the point .
will they be enforced? This depends on the men
selected to enforce them. If men are chosen
who from character or position havca sympathy
with this rowdysm, what will be the result ?
Why simply that rowdyism will flourish under
the very shadow of the law, until it ovcrtops law
and there will be no security for person or prop
erty. Citizens then must not expect redeeming
merely in the law, and sit down quiet
ly expecting the law to work out their salvation
The law will be good just we have good mon
to enforce it, and we can get such men just if we
put forth effort to accomplish it, We are array
ed against no man or set of men, nor in favor of
any. But we are distinctly arrayed in favor of
the peace Of our city, her good name, and the Sc
curity of the person and property of her citizens,
and we trust that all others similarly arrayed,
will look to it that they spare no exertons to Sc
cure an end so desirable
