hair grows in the scalp like plant in the
soil If plant fourishes, il must have
constant attention; it must be watered
regularly and find its food in the soil
where il is rooted. It's so with the hair.
Neglect is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Dsndruf is allowed to thicken on
the scalp. The hair begins to loosen. The
scalp loses its vitality. The hair insult

fall. The instant need IN such a case is
some practical preparation which, sup

scalp, will feed the hair, give il strength,
and so produce strong and healthy
growth. All this is done by DR.. Ayers

A Scheme to Put a Light Draught Boat in the Tennessee River-Committees Are Ay-
 pointed and at Work.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Decatur, Oct. 13.-The local yellow fe- yer quarantine was today raised. The officsrs were paid off and discharged, it being considered no longer necessary by the municipality.
 A strong effort is being made to join hands with Chattanooga in the putting of a light draught boat on the Tennesses river to ply as far down as Riverton.
 The movement has been on foot in Chattanooga for some time to place a subsidized boat on to run from that point, and at recent meetings of the New Decatur Commerce club, and the Decatur Board of trade, steps were taken that will lead to practical results. A joint committee was appointed with J. L. Brock as chairman, and L. w. Burton secretary.
 It has gone ito work upon the scheme and is now in active communication with the projectors in Chattanooga.
 A. F. Murray, who is enthusiastic over it, made special trip to Chattanooga today to push the thing along, and the business men are confident that the time will not be long before a steamer Is mak- ing regular trips between here and Chat tanooga.
