Opening the Fountains.

In numberiess bulbs beneath the skin is
secreted the liquid substance which gives
the hair its texture, color and gloss. When
this secretion stops, the hair begins at once
to become dry, lustreless, brittle and gray.
Is that the condition of your hair? If SO,
apply Parker's Hair Balsam at once. 1t will
restore the color, gloss and life by renewing
the action of nature. The Balsam is not an
oil, not dye, but an elegant toilet article,
highly appreciated because of its cleanliness.

The 10Th consecutive, Annual Interstate
Exposition, will be held in Chicago Septem-
Der I'd to October 1S, inclusive. Except,
possibly, the old American Institute, the
Chicago Industrial Exposition is, we believe,
the only organization of its class which for a
long series of years has held its exhibitions
without intermission, or which has been uni
formly successful in the high character of its
display or in financial results. Having only
$4,000 from subscriptions to its capital
stock in 1873, it has paid its current expen-
ses, made all necessary repairs, and expend-
ed over six hundred thousand dollars on
construction and personal property accounts
and is entirely ont OF debt to-day. The
average annual attendance of visitors paying
admission is about 100000 or 10000 per day
for forty days. No similar organization in
America can show any such record of we'll
deserved success. Like the city of Chicago
and the Northwest, its progress has been
without parallel.
For the current year, we are informed, the
applications for space have been even more
numerous and urgent than ever before. The
mammoth building is full TO OVERLOOKING
with novel and interesting exhibits in all de-
partments. No pains nor expense have been
spared by the management to render the ex-
hibition attractive and usefully educational.
All transportation lines in the northwest
will give their lowest excursion rates to
visitors. Admission to building, adults %
cents; children ID cents. The exhibition
will be open every day except Sunday from
| 3 a. M. to 10 p. IN.
