! lgtoss and freshness of yoatth Thin ihair is thick kened falling hair checked, and badness often, though not always, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the. hair where the follicles are de- stroyed, or the glands atrophied and .decayed but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu- lated into activity, SO that a new
 growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouhng the hair with a pasty sedi- ment, 1t will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling of, and consequently prevent badness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the forma- stion of !dandruff, which is often so un- cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju- rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for, HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found So desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric. and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy iastre, and agrateful perfume.

They have got an cqualized spring
bed now, so that if you only weigh one
hunded pounds, aud your wife weighs
three hundred pounds, she don't sink down
any lower than you do. This has always
been great failing with spring beds, and
will be duly appreciated as an improve
ment. A small man couldn't tell wheth-
er he would be alive in the morning or not.
A La Crosse man went to bed first the 9TH
er night, and got asleep; shortly after
wards, his wife came in mad because she
stubbed her toe on a rockingham. She
weighs a good deal, and she jumped into
bed suddenly. She went clear to the bot
tom on her side, and the springs on her
husbands side few up, and when he woke
up, he was coming down from the ceiling
head first. Ifhe hadn't had soft bed to
fall or, he would probably never have
known what hurt him. Large women
should be careful about falling into bed,
or they will kill somebody yet.

Mrs. Gilbert feels easier. at is some

cannot sec the letters.
''Oh. my boy-my only one" she ex'
claims, in a husky voice. and again seeks

cheeks and every one making you feel
better. No swelling sobs or bursting
