Do You Use It?

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. It re
moves dandruff, c1eanses the
scalp, nourishes the sell in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nOur-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

cry possible influence should be exercised
to induce dairy farmers to weed out their

OF certain European countries we find that
our rate Of product both in milk and but
ter falls much below theirs. Denmark

yield per COW, both of milk and butter.
than the United States. The price of the

COST OF THE ediovERNMENr.-ra:
bles prepared by the treasury depart
ment bureau of statistics afford an in
teresting showing Of government ex-
penses past and present. 1t appears that
the per capita cost of the government
has varied much. with a steady high av-
erage since 1891. In 1870 1t was 1910. and
eight years later 1t was only $3.50. In 1883
1t was $i.6S. dropping to $2.45 in 1885. The
1891 mark was $3.50. and In 1892 it was
A.95 the highest on record. In 1893 II was
$i.56 in 1894 s4.67 and In 1895 $4.S3, and the
appropriations for 1896 call for SAIL per
capita. These figures are independent of
the interest charge and the provision for
the sinking fund. In the last quarter OF
a century there has been little variation
in the cost Of the legislative, executive
and judicial departments. 1873 showing a
total of $lS,5OO,0OO, against $2lSOO, 900 for
tNe present year. lne SuHuTy ClNiI tA-
penses have Increased from 2O,OOO,OOO to
$27, ,0OO.0 600. The army expenses have fallen
about $5,OOO,0O0. while the naval expenses
have increased about $11,OOOOOO. Little
change is noted In the consular service.
The agricultural department once cost
only $250,000 a year; now 1t calls for So. 300,
900. In 1893 pensions required $SO,0000O0.
In 1880 $50, 900. 900 was reached, and In 1894
$1G6 900. For the present year the total
is $l41, 100000. Twenty-Five years ago the
river and harbor appropriations did not
average more than So, ,O0O, 900 yearly. With.
in the last few years they have touched
$25, ,OOO, 900. The District Of Columbia now
involves a cost Of IS. 900. against $500.
900 for 1873. 1t will be seen that while
the government expenses in the aggregate
are large, divided among the people, they
would be borne with comparative ease,
even II assessed directly. But all are in
direct, and no small portion Is paid by for
eigners for the privilege of selling their
goods in United States markets.-Troy
