Ninety eight per cent of the people need
a hair tonic. Don't take my word for it,
but make test for yourself = test that
you can see and understand. Pull hair
from your head. if the bulb is white and
shtunken the hair is diseased if the bulb
is pink and full it's healthy. Even if you
have the most luxuriant head of haif you
must want to know whether it is IN an
unhealthy condition or not. Don't wait
until it begins to fall out or turn gray
before you heed the warning that a white
bulb gives if the bulb is white the hair
needs nourishment at once. ReXall "93"
Hair Tonic was designed to destroy the
germs that cause the shrunken bulbs; 1t
not only does this but it tones up the
sebaceous glands and gives the hair a
gloss that has never been equalled. 1t
controls dandruf and keeps the hair
bright and clean.
In buying Rexall "93' Hair Tonic you
take no chances. If, after trial, you are
not more than satisfied, will cheertuliy
refund you the fifty cents you pay tor

WAS CURED RAPIDLY
RHEUMATISM IN TWO SEVERE GASES
MASTERED IN FEW WEEKS.
The Remedy tsed by MIR. hehroeppel and
by Captain nnlfonr in Great Demand In
vicinity of Their Homes.
!. - ,..inl.nl nf lan2-A M. Schroa

Tn the winter of l902-3 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by severe at
tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
onentlv reEaiucd his health by means
which lie describes with great enthu-
Biasm
"After five or six weeks of helpless
ness and pain, said he, during which
was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, / felt as bad as ever. Just then
my mother. a woman eighty years OF
age paid me visit She had received
great benefit from DR.. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they would
help me. At her solicitation | gave up
the doctors treatment and took the pilla
in its place
And were You cured as the result OF
taking her advice
"Yes, quickly and thoroughly Be-
fore the second box was finished l felt
very manifest improvement, and within
two weeks was able to leave my bed and
take up my neglected farm work. con-
tinued to use the pills, however, until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that felt that every YES
tiQe OF the disease had been eradicated.
Are there no traces left?'
absolutely none. For a year and
three months there has never been the
sliQhtest return Of the old trouble. For
this happy result and my family freely
praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds of China township,
St. Clair county, Mich, there is no bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted great deal OF attention.
One Of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing Of the
salutary results in Mr.. Schroeppel' s case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment."
1t is little wonder that DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor III the COM
munity where Mr.. Schroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so we'll and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful i'll curing
neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralysis.

HAD LEARNED TO OBEY.
Incident in Life of Gen. Havelock
Which Showed His Strict
Fidelity to Duty.

1t is told of Gen. Havelock that one
day, when a boy, his father, having
some business to do, left him on London
bridge, and babe him wait there till he
came back.
The father was detained and forgo,
his son, not returning to the bridge all
that day. In the evening he reached
home, and after he had rested a little
while, his wife inquired:
Where is Harry"
The father thought moment.
Dear mel" said he, ct quite forgot
Harry. He is on London bridge, and
has been there for eight hours waiting
for me-"
He FASTENED away to relieve the boy
and found him just where he had left
him in the morning, pacing to and fro
Hike a sentinel on his beat.
The strict fidelity TO duty which the
boy gloriously displayed on this occa-
sion showed itself in after years and
was the means of winning many a IA
nous victory in battle.

JOY IN AFFECTION.
Wonderful Sermon by Her
Cheerfulness.

A girl belonging TO a church society
went to call upon a cripple. taking
sou'e- sweet & flowers 20 the in
valid. After a little conversation, the
visitor asked:
Don't you get tired of being tied
to that bed day and night, Miss Grey,
week after week."
Yes, / think | do sometimes; that
is, grow bodily tired" was the re-
Spouse. But l try not to think of
that L only want to remember that
God is good and merciful In His love
He spared me even though 1 am Grip
pied, to live that l might learn to
know Him here. You see, before !
was hurt l never thought about Him
as being a real Friend and Helper.
But since ! have been compelled to lie
here quiet and helpless, can even find
joy and thankfulness in my affliction;
l live to serve Him and that crowds
almost every other thought OUT
And the one who had come to min
lister went away feeling that she had
received more than she had given dur
ing that visit.
Truly, only those who know Him for
the loving Saviour that He is can say
this.-Ram's Horn.

HE COULD CLIMB.
Workman in an Elevator Shaft Fur
nishes Text for Sermon to
Young Men.

A man working on an elevator was
telling his experiences as a workman
in one of the large skyscrapers. He
said that he could begin working in the
shaft at the bottom, and go on up, SLOW
ly. climbing as the work progressed,
but that he could not go in at the top
and begin working. The height was
too great TO begin there; yet ne haS4 nc
difficulty If he worked his way up in
the shaft. 1t was striking illustra-
ton of a great truth that few young
people appreciate. Most of us want to
go in at the top somewhere, and begin
to work. Not all OF us are willing to
go in at the bottom and work our way
up. One of the reasons why some young
men have fallen is because they went in
at the top where their fathers were
working, and tried to work in the same
way. Perhaps they sought only the
easy places at the top, places which
others had reached by hard working
and climbing, and they could not stand
the height-so they fell to the bottom.
1t Is good thing to reach the top in
anything; but it is not good thing to
be carried there and placed in position
without having the experience of climb
ing. by slow degrees, until the top Is
reached. Hard work has its advantage
In this, that it furnishes place to stand
on in time of promotion; it steadies one
when he reaches the top.-Service.

RAMS HORN SPEAR POINTS.

There are no swordless saints.
No guise is too good for sin to appro-
pirate
Yesterdays remedies cannot work to-
days reforms.
1t Is the gifts we use and not the ones
we have that make us.
David's brightest thoughts came to
him in his darkest days
Right relations with God is the first
duty of every young man.
Nature study is empty without the
study OF our own natures.
When a man brags of his virtues the
devil is the first to applaud.
Faith is a telescope; the vision comes
from looking through it, not at it.
Prayer is simply our expression when
we become conscious Of Gods presence.
The worst thing in this world is not
dying; it is being dead and not knowing
it.
A minute with the Redeemer in the
morning may save an hour of regret al
night.

foot Of the table the plants to be sup
piled with water should be grouped. as
our picture shows. For each plant take
length of worsted, at one end of which
tie small stone, or anything that will
act as weight. Soak the worsted q
moment in the water, and then. leaving
at the bottom of the bowl the end to
which the weight is attached. let the
other end Of the length of worsted hang
down over the bowls edge Particular
ly, however, take care that the end of
the worsted hanging outside comes
lower than the bottom OF the bowl.
Doing this, you have in reality con-
structed syphon, and as long as there
Is water in the bowl it will, by travelling
first up the length of worsted that is in
side the bowl-see dotted lines-and
then down the hanging portion outside,
slowly drip upon the plants below.
To be sure that all is in working order
1t is well to set the appliance working.

course, the greater the volume of water
originally provided, and the fewer the
lengths OF worsted draining from it.
the longer the supply OF water will last
