Every year increases the popularity
of this valuable Hair Preparation
which is due to merit alone. We can
assure our old patrons that it is kept
fully up to its high standard; and it
is the only reliable and perfected prep
aration for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making it
soft, lustrous, and silken. The scalp,
by its use, becomes white and clean.
1t removes all eruptions and dandruff,
and, by its tonic properties, prevents
the hair from falling out, as it stimu-
lates and nourishes the hair-glands.
By its use, the hair grows thicker and
stronger. In badness, it restores the
capillary glands to their normal vigor,
and will create new growth, except
in extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications, and
gives the hair a splendid, glossy ap-
pearance. A. A. Hayes, MD, State
Assayer of Massachusetts, says, "The
constituents are pure, and carefully
selected for excellent quality; and l
consider it the BEST PREPARATION
for its intended purposes"
Sold by all Druggists, and Dealers in Medicines.
Price One Dollar.

of the opinion that the sweet name of
Belle ought TO be an exception to the
Patronymic rule, 1t says: Take for in
stance the case of that wag of farmer
up in Oregon, Peter AXE, who had his
daughter christened Belle. We don't
believe she will have her cards printed
"Bellie Ake;' and if the other girls call
her by that romantic name when she
gets big enough to ''rastle,'' we reckon
that there will be a lively time, and

the balmy breezes of Oregon Immediately
