How's Your Hair?
sowditeh, Webster & Co. Announce
That They Have at Last Secured
Cure for Hair Troubles.

We beg to announce to the people OF
Augusta that we have secured the
agency for one Of the greatest discoV-
cries OF recent years. We refer to the
prescription OF Sir Erasmus Wilson M.
D.. England's most successful special
ist i'm diseases of the scalp, who was
knighted for his many successes in the
treatment of skin and scalp. Upon the
death of DR.. Wilson this prescription
vas secured by American chemists and
Is now offered to the public under the
name Of DR.. Wilson's English Life to
the Hair. This preparation will grow
hair on bald heads even after all else
fails. Unlike other hair preparations
it is not sticky or greasy, but gives a
live and glossy appearance to the hair.
Miss Cornelia Stevens, 6 Smith Ave-,
Boston, Mass, says: "Dr. Wilson's
English Life to the Hair grew a mag
nificent head Of hair for me after I
was told that was becoming hopeless
ly bald. My hair now reaches nearly
to my waist and Is heavy and glossy.
1 cannot too highly recommend it." If
you are growing bald. troubled with
eruptions. dandruff, scales or any scalp
troubles try DR.. Wilson'S Life to the
Hair. Albert Chemical Co.. Boston.

The Pride of Ancestry.

Where is the man who would not
swell with pride if able to trace his
line to some valiant barbarian whose
proWesS helped the Conqueror to gain
Hastings? A search warrant would
not find him in all America-that is.
in all truthful America. though he is
legion in canting America. How is it
with US? Those immaculate fathers
of ours made an aristocracy they call
ed the Society of the Cincinnati" and
it has got to be at this time, that an
American citizen is not worth shucks
unless he or she is son or daughter
of something or other. Go to the Con-
gressional Library and ask Mr. Spof-
ford or Mr. Hutcheson. and you will
find that the books most frequently
consulted by American readers are
books of genealogy. There is not a
single simple Republican and patriot
among us whose heart would not
break with joy to find out that he had
come from a Saxon with the bar-sin-
lister who had come from the line We're
de We're. 1t is human; it is right. The
Roman of the house of Marcus was a
little prOudcr than other Romans A
Frenchman of the house of de Roha n
is mighty apt to do his devoir on the
field of battle TO the envy of other
Frenchmen.
We are aware that this is un-Amcr-
lean and unpatriotic talk We are in
duging. Nevertheless. it is truth;
and we have always admired that pas
sage in Dickens where Mr.. Anthony
Chuzzlcwit delivered himself of the
admontiOn: Don't be a hypocritc.

tiOnalists come second with 6,59S, the
Disciples Of Christ third with $3.50.
Then follow in the order named the
Baptist, Methodist. Episcopal, Metho-
dist Protestant and Lutheran denomi-
nations. 1t is in this interdenomina-
tiOnal fellowship that Christian En-
deavor is said to differ from other
young peoples organizations. There
are GenominatiOnal societies formed
after the Christian Endeavor plan
which are working within their own re-
lisious bodies.
At the Baltimore convention last
year DR.. Clark in his address set before
the societies these four goals: That
they should give one million dollars to
denominational missions; that they
should bring into the church one mil
lion new church attendants; that thew
should induce one million persons to
join the church,; that they should bring
one million new members in the
| brate this 25th anniversary in a fitting
| manner it is proposed to raise a fund,
both as memorial to DIR. Clark while
he is yet living and as per-
mannnt endowment for Christian
| Endeavor missionary work in all
parts of the world. The United
| Society OF Christian Endeavor is
unique among religious publishing
| enterprises in that it is not only self
supporting, but yields a good annual
profit, which is applied to missionary
purposes. But the advantages of this
Christian Endcavor work in the mis-
sion fields have proved so great and
the requests for assistance have so
multiplied that for the last few years
| DR.. Clark and his associates have un-
dertaken to raise $4,000 annually in
addition. To relieve them of the bur-
den of business cares while carrying on
| their religious work it is proposed to
| create this memorial fund. The OBJ
| ject is to obtain an average contribu-
tion Of % cents from each Endeavorcr.
Part of the fund will probably be used
in erecting Il suitable headquarters
building which will bring in rentals,
and the remainder invested in income-
| bearing securities.
