HURD'S GOLDEN GLOSS

u THE HAIR.-Among the many prepa-
IL att ons for the growth ofthe HAIR, this Con-
Ed Gloss takes the lead. Three reasons will be
given why it is so universally used and preferred
to all others. LIST, Because it has proved the most
effectua in Badness I'd, Because it imparts
beautiful dark gloss and delightful perfume to the
Hair. Sd, Because the Ladies, with fine dscrimi-
nation, which they all possess, have adopted it.
Many other reasons could be given why it is q
great favorite, but those who want more have only
to give it trial. Price % cts in large bottles

nJ We notice the political papers OF
the State are still contendlng about the
corruption and fraud practiced upon the
intelligent people Of Iowa. The alleged
nisdemeanor consists in sending the peo-
pie gratui.ously copies Of the N. Y. Trib-
une, previous 10 the election. The Cath
olics prescribe the bible, but we did not
know that the Democratic party had pro-
scribed and inhibited the circulation Of
the Tribune in this State, and cannot see
the harm in reading it. If circulating
the Tribune is corruption and fraud upon
the people, they must be frail mortals.
