which is caused by a germ. Kill the
germ and it is almost certain that hair
will grow again, if the follicle has not
been totally destroyed. Nels Peterson

Senator Bailey of Texas says that
the government has no more right to
make deposits i9 the national banks to
help them out in times of stringency
than it has to make the southern far
mers loans on their cotton. He de
clares that when the banks are allowed
additional circulation instead of being
furnished with government funds, t.. y

are entitled. The recent crisis has

A Republican Admission.

The following admission coming
from such hide-bound republican
newspaper as the Peoria Star is a
clear Indication that the ascendaney
of Mr. Bryan as the first American
citizen is becoming to be more and
more recognized every day. The Star
says:
William Jennings Bryan has de-
clared he is candidate for president
of the United States, subject to the
desires of the next democratic ma
tional convention. He does this in
order to fend off any sandy that Charlie
Laid and Roger Sullivan may try to
run in on him. At the same time
Bryan says that if the democratic
party wish to put any other man on q
sound democratic platform, he VIII sup
port him without jealousy or heart
burning. Bryan is in that enviable
position where he is a greater mar
than his party. The great bulk of the
people are ready to accept him ant
