color, a0itb the gloss and freshness of
youth. Thin hair is thickened, fall
ing hair checked, and badness often,
though not always, cured by its
use. Nothing can restore the hair
where the folicles are destroyed, or
the glands atrophied and decayed !;
but such as remain can be saved by
this application, and stimulated into
activity, SO that a new growth of
hair is produced. Instead of fouling
the hair with pasty sediment, it
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 formation of dandruff, which is
often so uncleanly and offensive.
Free from those deleterious sub
stances which make some prepara-
tions dangerous, and injurious to the
hair, the Vigor can only benefit, but
not harm it. If wanted merely for
a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else
can be found SO desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not
soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich,
glossy lustre, and a grateful perfume.

An Ugly Old Man.

Just about these days it is not only natural
but highly appropriate, when two men meet,
to have a word or two on the political situation.
Therefore, when man boarded Woodward
avenue car yesterday and sat down beside a
keen-looking old man, it was all right for him
to ask:
swell, how's Indiana?'
"What in thunder do know about Indana?
shouted the old man. II never lived there-I
was never in the state'
"Its going to be pretty close l guess" re-
marked the man, though seeming less interest
ed than before.
"Whats going to be close?" yelled the old
man.
1.-THE election"
"What election?"
"Why, the state election"
what do know about state election in
Ipdana?" cried the old man. ''Wbat do you
take me for, sir?"
why, 1 thought everybody knew there was
to be a state election in Indiana Tomorrow
humbly observed the other
What business had you to think SO sir? Do
you suppose all the rest of mankind thinks as
you do? Do you run this whole country?"
Never mind" observed the man, as he set
tied back; II didn't know but that you took an
interest in politics"
'You had DO right to think so, sir-not the
shadow OF right, sir! Suppose should get
into car and ask you how Indiana was? How
quick you would knock me down, STRIP
mo, 1 woudn'tr'
"Then I'm a liar, am I?' shouted the old
man, trying TO pull off his overcoat. There
would have been row had not the other man
hurried out of the car.

CAUTION AGAINST INVITATIONS.

The PROJECTORS of Benson's Capcine Porous
Plasters have found it necessary to warn the public
against bogus articles that are offered them, under
the name of "Capsicin" or "Capsicam, as being the
unlike the genuine in their effect or composition,
and such limitations calculated to injure the ex-
Porous Plasters. The unparalleled success Of this
famous and vigorous medicinal combination has
stimulated unscrupuOus individuals issue articles
under the above similar sounding words. To further
protect the consumer, We have cut the word
''Capcine'' in each Plaster Their powerful vegeta
BILE properties afford instant relief, and insure
tain metallic or mineral posons, and are superior
in their effects to electricity, and more certain.
