fearful BURNS
FROM Tightening
But Preston Arnold Has a
Chance of Recovery.
Was Talking Over Telephone
When the Stroke
Came.

One-half of his body burned almost
to a crisp, his trousers torn into
strips no broader that a mans finger
and the shoe torn from one of his
feet by a stroke of lightning convey
ed over a telephone wire, Preston Ar
mold, of the Maceo neighborhood, still
lives, and apparently has fair
chance for recovery.
The stroke by which Arnold was
so severely burned shocked Joseph
Matingly so severely that he was rem
dered unconscious, and shivered the
telephone box into splinters.
The accident occurred at the home
of Ed Mattingly, about two miles
from Maceo, at $3.50 o'clock last
night, while the severe electrical and
rainstorm was at its height. Arnold
was talking over the telephone and
Joe Mattingly was standing about six
feet from him. Suddenly was lifted into
the air and fell to the floor unoon-
scious, his clothing torn into shreds.
At the same instant Joe Mattingly
fell to the floor unconscious, though
without any visible effect on his
body.
An examination of Arnold showed
that the left side of his body ives Sc
verely burned from the ear 70 the
bottom of the foot. The most Sc
we're burn was on the face and neck,
close to where the receiver was held
Mattingly recovered consciousness in
a short time, but persons in the house
thought for a time that Arnold was
dead.
DR.. NJ. b. Berry was summoned
and after working with the patient
for several hours succeeded in par
TALLY restoring him 10 consciousness.
At II o'clock last night Arnold was
in a semi-conscious condition. DR..
Berry said that it was impossible at
that time to say how seriously Ar
mold was injured, or what The
chances were for his recovery. He
said, however, that he had hopes for
his recovery.
Preston Arnold is about twenty
two years old. He is employed on

Hair Oils Return.

The young mans hair, when the bar
Der finished with it, was as smooth and
lustrous as well-brushed silk hat.
YES" said the barber complacently,
that is the fashion nova head as sleek
and shiny as plush. You get the effect
with brillantine. OF course brillantine
is hair oil, plain old-fashioned hair oil,
under a fancy name.
THE point | want to make is that the
revival of hair oil is improving the hair.
For nearly a generation men had been
brushing their hair dry, keeping oil out
of it as though oil were sin, and that
crisp, fluffy hair of theirs fell out in hand
fuls, and the men soon became bald.
''Our fathers used hair oil profusely.
That is why they had tides ON the
chairbaeks in those days. And our
fathers had good hair, much better hair
than we have.
But we are now improving. Already,
in 70 per cent. of my patrons, | have no
ticed new life in the scalp, yigor, a
freshness, such as spreadsS over the
fields in the early spring. 1t is all due
TO the return of that fine fertilizer-hair

to call it.
This is the best brand. One and
half for the small bottle. Three for
the large. The larger. Thank YOU.
