mote the growth Of the hair.
If the hair is dry, stiff and !cless, it will give
it a softness, and lively and youthful appear
ance.
If the hair is becoming thin, weak and falling
off, it will restore its strength and beauty:
If the hair is gray, or becoming so, 1t Will
restore it to its original color, without staining
scalp or hands.
1t is free from all impurities or poisonous
drugs
1t is no hair dye, but IN intalablc restora-
tive, and will do all that is promised, when
use1 by the directions.
A few applications Of this Compound will
change brash, dry and wry hair TO the most
beautiful silken tresses.
If the hair is falling off. or becoming gray,
the use Of the Eureka will surely arrest It's de,
cay, anu cause it to assume i'll IL snort tllne, all
its former beauty. 1t completely cradcales

destructive to the roots Of the hair, and cures

As hair DIRE ing, the Eureka is uncquailcd
by any other hair preparation in the world.

~ IT IS A REMARKABLE FACT
that the mortality experienced
on large policies of life assurance
is less than on small ones. The
average amount Of each policy
issued by the Equitable Life As
surance Society in 1866. was
S4.15O, while the percentage OF
losses was but 1920. An aver
age policy Of the Mutual Life for
the same period was $3,5O4
percentage Of loss 1924. Wash
ington, 50, 400; loss 1914. Ger
mania, $500; loss 1926. Uni.
ted States, s2,393; loss 1927.
All these are cash companies
and the rates of some sixteen
not. companies exhibit similar
Commentary, showing greater
mortality on small than on large
policies. The cause is attributed
to the fact that the wealthier
classes, who are able to assure
for the largest amounts, enjoy
those constant comforts and sani.
tary privileges, and lead that
regular course of life which sc
mat erially promotes longevity
The Equitable Life Assurance
Society issues policies on single
life np to the amount of $4,000
