ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray Or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted

Its EGieieary..ShaiI We Have n Hech
and Ladder Company.


and Ladder Company.
II !, not saying too much 10 assert that
no city In the Northwest, tho size Of Cairo,
has more efficient fire department. The
Rough and Reades, IIibernians and Arabs
have shown their efficiency aud endurance
in more than hundred conflicts with "the
devouring element and in some instances
accomplished moro than seemed possible
for mans accomplishment. While We
speak thus Of the past, We are ready TO
insist that the time never was when the
companies were more thoroughly or eff.
GENTLY organized or capable of better SER
vice, They are IN honor 10 the city, and
deserve the encouragement and support
alike Of citizens and tho municipal gov
eminent.
There Is one lack, which must be sup
piled before our dre department reaches
tho degree Of completenss at which II
aims. We refer 10 thoroughly organ.
lied aud we'll equipped hook and ladder
company, Tho great want Of such an or
ganlza,lon was particularly manifest yos-
teriay morning. Tho water IN the neigh
borhood Of the fire gave out, and tho llro
companies could DO nothing more than t.
stand ly and see the building burn to the
ground aud that too after they lad almost
cXtnguishcl the las, yostIge of the lire,
Had the wind blown In the direction of
the Mississippi at least half dozen build
lngs would inevitably, have been dcs-
troyod. \ hook and ladder company,
that could have seized upon and RACED the
burning structure to the ground, is
the only agency we can think
Of that could, in such an event,
prevented most disastrous contia-
grafton. Everybody present seemed to
appreciate the want of such company,
and n number Of gentlemen present ex-
pressed willingness to aid in forming one.
Shall we, then, have hook and ladder
company? The expense involved will be
inconsiderabls, since tho truck Of the old
Egyptians is lying in the rear Of the yul-
can Iron works, and can be rendered ser
viceable by the expenditure Of = few dol
lars on repairs. The ladders Of the same
old company arc in the possession of diff
fersnt parties about the city, and can no
doubt be repurchased from their present
owners, and be made 10 serve at least II
temporary purpose, very we'll. A very
small sum Of money, in fact will supply
all the needful apparatus; and, as there are
score or more of active, energetic citi-
zens wis will cheerfully enter such an or
ganizstion, why shall We not, without de-
