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. 1t re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil 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

GLENCAIRN DEFEATS MONO.
The Canadian Defender Wins the
Second of the Races.

Montreal Aug 16.-Glencairn II, the Ca
madam defender, defeated Mono, the
American challenger. in the second Of the
series of races to-day, for the Seawanha-
ka-Corinthian challenge cup.
The weather conditions were the reverse
of those of Saturday, a stiff breeze blow
ing from fifteen to twenty miles an hour,
and the Canadian boat fulfilled the eXpec-
tations that had been placed in her as be-
ing the better heavyweight craft. Cen
cairns win was by about the same margin
as that of Mono on Saturday. The final
victory of the series is now admitted to
depend largely on the wind in the race to
come.
Ia a light wind the Momo's chances are
decidedly the better. while ina stiff breeze
the Glencairn is looked upon as a sure
winner.

No hide nor hair was found.
And here all hope soured on me,
OF my fellow-critters' aid;
