KEROSENE FOR BALD HEADS.

And now comes another use for Pc

port on the trade Of Nicolaleff during
the past year, states that that part of
south Russia continued free from cat

drawn in summer to the several eases
OF sudden badness Of oxen and COWS.
and the losses Of tails and names
among horses. He recollected that a
former servant Of his, permaturely
bald had GOT the habit. when trimm-
ing the lamps. of wiping his petro-
laum-smeared hands in the Scanty
locks which remained to him, and the
result was much inner head of black.
