Makes Hair
Grow

Perhaps your mother had
thin hair, but that is no reason
why you must go through life
with half-starved hair. Ifyou
want long, thick hair, feed it.
Feedit with Ayers Hair vigor,
the only genuine hair food you
can buy.
Your hair will grow thick
and long, and will be soft and
glossy.
Ayers Hair vigor always
restores color to gray hair; it
keeps the scalp clean and
healthy, and stops falling of
the hair.

LIFE-SAVING NET.
Test to BE Made of One This After.


Chief Engineer Robert w. Dutton has
ordered a test to be made at $3.50 o'clock
this afternoon at truck c house. 14th street
and Ohio avenue, Of the new life-saving
net which has just been adopted by the
fire departments of New York Chicago
and other large cities. The inventor of the
new net. Mr.. T. F. Browder of Greenfield
Ohio, is in the city. accompanied by his
son, and will superintend the tests and
demonstrations to be made this afternoon
Chief Dutton hopes to equip each of the
six trucks in the District fire department
with one of the nets. The one to be used
this afternoon will be retained. and prob
ably attached to truck c. which responds
to all of the downtown alarms.
The net Is used for catching persons
jumping from flames on the upper stories
Of burning buildings. Soon after it's adop-
ton in New York twenty people were saved
by its use. all jumping from building.
The new net is distinctly different from
the old woven affairs, which were danger
GUS and difficult Of manipulation. To
avoid the shock to the arms of those hold
ing the net the frame Is grasped by the
hands. palms upward. and the strain is ex-
tremely small and scarcely felt. This is
one of the principal features of the inven-
ton.
The leading feature Is found In the EN-
ployment of a series Of steel springs and
hangers, which counteract the heavy re-
bound weight Of the falling person, trans
hitting the force Of the shock to the heavy
iron frame held by ten men. The sudden
conclusion Is equally distributed and is
borne nearly entirely by an inward pres
sure or pull on the frame itself. The net
weighs about seventy pounds and Is ten
feet in diameter. Within a heavy hoop of
iron there is stretched a piece Of canvas,
heavily padded. Thirty hangers and spiral
springs are employed in attaching the can
vas center to the iron ring. When the
weight strikes the canvas the hangers
