Do You Use 1t?

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 it's normal color, or
If you wish to restore the lost
tint Of gray or faded hair use

An English authority is quoted as
advising for tho cure of blackheads the
eating Of water cress, lettuce, cuoumbers
and boiled onions. In addition to this
diet, cocoanut oil must be rubbed into
the pores Of the skin at night, wiping
it off i'll the morning Soon, it is claim
ed, tho blackheads will soften so that
they may come out. Once out, the
next step is to close the pores of the
skin. and this. according to the authori-

WILLIE SOLVED 1T.
He Knew Exactly What Business He
Would Choose Later In Life.

My boy shall never be doctor,
said Pillstcr, tho physician, to his
friend, the preacher. "When l was Il
boy, thought medicine was just the
right profession for man to follow. L
figured out that it would return reason
able profits, and, furthermore, it was u
noble calling. 1 could do good to my
fellow man. Well, I'm far from rich,
and while L still hold much the same
views about being able to do good to
humanity | have found out that hui
manity doesn't half appreciate it. The
other night L rode ten miles through u
heavy rain to attend sick man When
| got there, lie took half an hour berat-
ing me because L had not arrived an
ho;l before 1t goes that way from year
to ycar lard work, moderate returns
and no appreciation. "
"Oh, Pillstcr, y put in Boollman, tho
preacher, ''you may be right, but what
ever you do, don't encourage your boy
to be minister If he feels called, let
MIN follow his way, but never encour-
age him. | used to think theology WAS
the only thing to study. ! dreamed over
it as boy and worked like slave as IL
young man. | worked my way through
college Now Two had good charge,
as charges go, for ten years, and if I
was not impclled by Il sense of duty
would throw up the sponge. It's work
and hustle day after day, and small
thanks. The minute you talk to your
parishioncr's wife tho gossips wag
their tongues. If you preach gospel, they
say they don't want that. If you give
them literature and philosophy, they say
give us the gospel. It's dogs life.
Pillster, whatever you do, don't let
your boy get any false notions about be-
ing minister.
But Willie solved the problem by an
nouncing after both doctor and preach
