HAIR REVIEWER .

brooklyn, ~. Y, after severe attack of Fry
sipelas in the head, found her hair-already
gray-falling off so rapidly that she soon became
quite bald. One bottle of HALLS HAIR Re-
NEWER brought it back as soft, brown and
thick as when she was girl.
E8- Mr.. KEsLING, an old farmer, near Var
SGa1, Ind, had scarcely any hair left, and what
little there was of it had become nearly white,
One bottle of HALLS HAIR REVIEWER stopped
Its falling out, and gave him thick, luxuriant
head of hair, as brown and fresh as he ever had.
aa- Mrs. A. T. WALL. Greenfield, Cheshire.
Eng, writes: 81 have found the greatest ben
eft from the use of HALLS HAIR REVIEWER, it
having restored my hair, which was fapily fall
ing of, and returned its original color"
E1- DR.. EMIL SEIP, Detroit, Mich, certiies
that "HALLS HAIR REVIEWER is excellent for
hair growing, and gives back the natural color
to faded and gray hair"
B9~ MRS. s. E. ELLIOTT, GIenu;Ue, W. Va.
says: "Onc bottle of HALLS HAIR REVIEWER
restored my hair to its natural, youthful color.'
No injurious substances enter into the
composition of HALL'S HAIR REVIEWER,
and it Is not dye. Its vegetable ingre-
dients render 1t in the highest degree bene-
fetal to the scalp as a preventive of dis
ease. Its effects are natural and lasting,
and it does not make the hair dry and
brashy, like the so-called restoratiYes COM

The SIaushterlng Of Birds.
To the Ed tor Of The EVENING STAR:

TO the Ed tor Of THE EVENING STAR:
The game laws ought to be enforced and the
birds protected. The accounts of the pot
hunters and boys proceedings in the marshes
may be amusing to some of the sporting COM
munity. but to the majority of people the
Strengthening Of harmless birds for amusement
merely is not an agreeable idea. The reporter
OF these proceedings says: every kind of bird
was shot. The pot-hunters and amateurs fired
at everything that flew past them. There were
thousands of blackbirds. which the regular
sportsmen did not shoot. but left for the boys
and shore rangers. who played Waterloo with
them
There should be police placed in the neigh
borh0Od OF all this useless Strengthening, to re-
strain boys and pOt-hunters from shooting at
everything that flies People must soon wake
up to the fact that boys and would-be sports
men are doing more than their share in the ex-
termination Of singing birds. The much-ma-
lgned sparrow will some day be proved inno-
cent. Meanwhile the stupid Strengthening goes
on. which amuses the boys and kills the birds
and this most useful and beautiful portion of
the animal creation are gradually diminishing
In numbers and will be eventually extermi-
mated
