Il. DREGER DEAD.

Our citizens were panied to
learn of the death OF Adolph
Dreger on Sunday morning, af>
ter a brief illness. Mr.. Dreger
was numbered among Virginia's
pioneers, formerly being engag
ed IN the dairy business here.
Some two years ago he went to
Duluth where he acquired the
management of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, returning here in the ear
ly winter and becoming interest
ed in the Virginia Bottling
Works. Some years ago Mr..
Dreger had a serious rupture,
which on several occasions had
been cause of great annoyance.
and on Friday he was again con-
fined with a recurrance of his old
ailment. On Saturday DR.. Bates
performed an operation, the pa
tient standing the ordeal with
great fortitude, and hopes were
entertained OF his recovery but
during the night he was taken
suddenly worse, expiring at 4:3O
a. m
Deceased was a native of Ger
many, AZ years of age. He came
to this country when young, for
many years making his home at
Bloomer, Wis.,, where the re-
mains were taken for interment
on Wednesday. A wife ard
three children, Elsie. Max and
Mrs. Lena Berg, of Bloomer,
survive him, and to the bereaved
family is extended the sympathy
of many Virginia friends in their
afaiction.

Dear Strive want an agent in
your town for the foremost paint in
the world: Devoe lead and zine. We
bespeak a few words to say how much
more this means than simply the sale
of good paint. -'.''' "
Our agent has to administer this
agreement with every customer.
"If you have any fault to find with
this paint, either now in putting it
on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your
dealer about it.
1--WE authorize him to do what is
right at our expense"
We become, you see, the partner OF
every man that uses our paint; and
the partnership lasts as long as he
chooses to continue it.
Suppose 100 jobs of painting are
done with Devoe lead and zinc this
year; and some of them don't turn
out satisfactory two or three years
from now, Our agent has got to do
what is right at our expense"
OF course this means that we know
that our paint is going to turn out
all right.
We have been in business, we and
our fathers in business, 145 years
have made great deal of paint; and
have dealt with thousands and thou
sands of people. Are not in the least
afraid to 'do what is right" when a
| lob goes wrong.
And, in this age of adulteration,
we say Send to your State chemist.
If he finds it adulterated, we will pay
his bill and send you $780,"
There is such a thing as honest bus
mess yet in the world.
Yours truly,

A Girls Hair,

The care of a girls hair during her
childhood has much to do with it's
later beauty. Ia one of the current
novels written by an EngIishwoman
the beautiful hair of the heroine was
referred to as never having been
coarsened or deadened by scissors or
heat. The old idea that if a girls
head is kept shingled until the age of
ten or twelve her hair will be the bet
ter for it is not now entertained.
With the exception of an occasional
clipping or smuggling of the ends where
a tendency to split is noticeable, the
growth of the hair should not be in
terfered with. 1t is unwise to entrust
the daily combing of a little girls
hair entirely to the nurse, certainly
not without overlooking. Hasty
combing by an impatient or hurried
caretaker Injuries the hair by break
ing it. 1t should be carefully brushed
hput, the hair separated into strands
Tilt shows a tendency TO mat. If the
comb, at the end of the operation,
has gathered a considerable amount
of knots and snarls and long hairs,
the method has not been proper. 1t
is possible to brush out tangle OF
locks and scarcely lose hair, but it
takes care and patience. 1t is also
,unwise to wash the hair too often, as
itpakes it dry and brittle. Profuse
p&spiration is bad for the hair, for
which reason light and we'll ventilat.
ed hats should be selected for little
girls wear during summer weather
While luxuriant hair or the reverse il
largly a matter of heredity and ply.
steal temperament, tits also true that
the proper care of hair will do much
to enhance a naturally good growth
or improve a poor one.-NeW YOrI
