The STORY OF
REXALL "s3" HAIR TONIC.

Before placing RExALL "93' HAIR
Tonic on the market We realized
that we had a formula Of exceptional
value, and yet we determined TO give
it thorough trial before We offered
it as a Rexall preparation. We there
fore wrote to one hundred druggists
in as many cities, asking the name of
one customer who suffered from a
disease OF the hair and scalp. To
each of these customers we sent
three bottles of the hair tonic and
asked them to try it and report
upon it.
THE RESULT: Five reported no
answer, two reported adversely and

We therefore selected NINETY.

VILLAGE DEPoPULATED
As Result of mgration-Only
 Women Left.

Budapest, July 25.-The lure of the Unit ed States as a land Of opportunity and wealth to the people of hungary has brought about serious state of affairs in the village of Kerisoya. near Lusos, that at the last census had a population of $500 souls. One by one the male resi- dents of Kerisova heard the call across the water and they emigrated in patches until such time as the mayor was the only adult male to remain by the village. Finally he also succumbed to the reports of good wages and golden chances in America sent back by his fellow towns men, and packing his trunk he made his way to the emigrant ship at Plume.
 As a resudt of this exodus of males, tho women of Korlsova have just elected a young woman to the position of mayor. and other female residents have been elected to the position of municipal offices. The statutes in Hungary provide that no female shall hold public office and ac- cording to the letter of the law. the pres ence of the women In office Is illegal.

 Under the new regulations, in addition to denatured warehouses on dlstillery premises, central denaturing warehouses may be constructed at such points as bus mess interests may require and alcohol may be transferred from denaturing warehouses by means of tank cars to con- sumers.

 Industrial distilleries are divided into two classes. In the first class are placed distlleries of a surveying ca pacity of 30 proof gallons or less, or spirits in 24 hours. At such distill cries storekeeper gaugers are not regularly assigned unless necessary.
 Distilleres of the second class are those that produce more than 50 gall Ions and less than one hundred gallons of distilled spirits daily. At distil- leries of this class an officer will be regularly assigncl unless the collector shall certify that the dlstillery can safely operate without one

APPEAL STRIKES
 FAVORABLE CHORD

 The list was headed by Mrs. L. c. Hud- gins. who contributed $50O0.
 This was followed closely by the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company who contributed 5000; pr. E. M. Robinson, $500; Dr. B. A. Fox, $200, and F. l. Monk, $10
 That this list will be greatly increased within the next few days without any so- licitation on the part of the Sisters Is practically certain. The large corpora tions. it is believed, will be very liberal in their donations.

BACKBONE OF
 STRIKE BROKEN
LEADER OF IRON ORE WORKERS ASSURES GOVERNOR JOHNSON THAT NO VIOLENCE TWILL BE OFFERED TO NoN-uNloNIsTs

Duluth, Minn., July 25.-That the back bone of the strike of the iron ore workers Is broken seems to be the general impress sion among business men in the range towns, and there seems to be little doubt but that the steel corporation can secure men in steadily increasing numbers to work their mines as soon as they desira to open up.
 The men are assured of protection by the firm stand taken by the citizens and do not fear violence from the strikers Governor Johnson arrived In Hibbing to- day and was taken to Petriella's head quarters, where he was introduced to tho strike leader.
 Petriella gave the governor his assur- ance that there would be no violence if he could prevent 1t.
 He stated that 1t was the intention of the Western Federation of Miners to fight the strike out in peaceful manner and not to interfere with the men who de- sired to go back to work. He further stated that If any of the union men back slid they would not be intimidated but that the federation intended to establish or fees in Duluth, Chicago and Detroit 10 warn men that the United States Steel corporation was unfair" to organized labor.
 A special from Virginia, Minn., says the strike there appears to be over. All is reported quiet and men are going back to work.
 Governor Johnson left today on spe- cial train for Hibbing and will investl- gate conditions there The strike or the dock workers Is now of secondary impor- tance, and 1t is believed the men will be willing to go back to work at the old wages and leave their troubles to arbl- tiotion

Y|DD|SH WOMEN
 CREATE 4 RIOT Butchers Raise Price of Kosher
 Meat Too High MANY PERSONS INJURED 
Police Are Kept on the Run for Many Hours, While Twenty-eight Men and Women Are Locked
 Up to Await Trial.

Philadelphia, July 25.-The Jewish quar- ter in the southern section of the city was the scene of many disturbances and fncip- tent riots today of the Yiddish women to kosher butchers, who have raised the price of meats. All through the Ghetto there were furious outbreaks in which persons who attempted to patronize the stores were roughly handled In several instances the stores were sacked and the meat destroyed
 The women gathered in front of the stores and seized every person who en- tered. The meat the customers had pur- chased was taken away from them and thrown into the streets after coal oil or acid had been poured over 1t, In three shops oil was poured over every piece of meat, the chopping blocks and counters were overturned and the windows in the stores were demolished. The police of three districts were kept on the run an- swering riot calls.
 As a result twenty eight men and wo- men were arrested and placed in jail. As many more were locked up for the hear ings tomorrow.
 A number of men and women were sent to the hospital suffering from injuries in resisting the officers. None was seriously hurt however, and the authorities have the situation well in hand.
 Late in the day a meeting was held in the center of the troublous district in which the distprbers were advised 10 use Jess strenuous methods, but to fight the butchers by refusing to buy meat from them. The butchers plan to retaliate by having the "shockets" cease killing chick ems and poultry so that those participat- ing in the boycott cannot secure supply of flesh from this source.
 After the meeting it was reported that a committee of women would go through the district and endeavor to destroy all meat but the police have taken measures to prevent this and 1t is said there will be no further disturbances.
 The women allege the retailers have been charging IA cents and IS cents a pound for meat which last year at this time could be bought for 10 cents and F cents. More than 1000 women met and formed an organization. They pledged themselves to use all possible efforts to influence other Jewish women to join in the movement against the butchers. A committee of thirty women were appoint ed with instructions to post pickets around all kosher shops to urge prospective pur- chasers not to buy

They Will Remove Objectionable Words From Columbus Monument.

Madrid, July 25.-When the body of Christopher Columbus, after the Spanish American war, was brought back to Spain from Havana and placed in a magnificent sepulchre in the cathedral at Seville, the Spaniardsfi smarting under the memory of their defeat, placed the following epi- taph upon the tomb:
 When ungrateful America separate itself from the mother country, Seville took back his bones."
