A GREAT DISCOVERY
Certain Ingredients That Really
Grow Hair When Properly
Combined

ResOrcin is one of the most eff
fective germ destroyers ever dis
covered by science, and in connec
tion with Beta Napthol, which i.
both germicidal and antiseptic, 8
combination is formed which des
troys the germs which rob the hail
of its natural nourishment, and also
creates clean, healthy condition of
the scalp, which prevents the de
velopment of new germs.
Pilocarpin, although not a color
ing matter or dye, is a well-known
ingredient for restoring the hair to
its natural color, when the loss of
hair has been caused by disease of
the scalp.
The ingredients in proper combi-
nation, with alcohol added as a
stimulant and for its we'll defined
nourishing properties, perfect the
most effective remedy that is known
for scalp and hair troubles.
We have a remedy which is
chiefly composed of these ingre-
dients, in combination with other
extremely invaluable medical agents.
We guarantee it to positively cure
'dandruff and to grow hair; even
though the scalp in spots is bare of
hair. If there is any vitality left in
the roots, it will positively cule
badness. If the scalp has a glazed
shiny appearance, it's an indication
that badness is permanent, but in
every other instance, badness is
durable.
We want everyone troubled with
scalp disease or loss of hair to try
Rexall 1893" Hair Tonic. If it does
not cure daudIuff and grow hair to
the satisfaction of the user, we will
without question or quibble return
every cent paid us for it. We print
this guarantee on ever bottle. 1t
has effected a positive cure in SO
per cent of cases where put to
practical test.
Rexall 1893" Hair Tonic is entire
ly unknown, and in every particular
better, than anything else we know
of for the purpose for which it is
prescribed. We urge you to try
this preparation at our entire risk.
Certainly we know of no better
guarantee to give you. DIR. W. E.
Hamil, Pocahontas, Ark.

Unionism Reviewed
tBy G. G. Davis, tho Union Man.l

(By G. G, Davis, the Union MANI
We herewith again ask the indul
gence of the editor of the Star Her
aid and thank him in advance for th,
space in his good paper, that we may
point out in the most explicit way
how we should be true union mem.
Der and see if we are living in con
formity to the principles of the order
Let us review ourselves from a
brotherly-love standpoint and see if
we are found wanting. Now, breth-
ren, we don't want to be misunder-
stood on this subject for this is truly
addressed to you and not to the 9TH
er fellow and leaving you out, but
this is to all alike and if this argu-
ment be SO so construed to be in har-
mony with the principles of the or
der and happens to find you not con-
forming with the duties enjoined
upon you as a member we say you
must be the judge and consider
where you are at and thon decide if
you have gone wrong to be a better
union man and more earnest to con-
cede the true principle for you and
that of your union brother, needing
not to those thing past that you have
done and made what you would have
us to believe a sacrifice, then do you
growl and kick almost out of the
harness because you think that the
union hasn't done enough for you.
We from our own personal endur-
ance in local way for the past two
years know what was demanded of
us and then to cry out that we have
committed a sacrifice would only
express ourselves as a "tender foot"
and dead.bea on the rock pile. |
We should ask ourselves the uues-
ton what did we join the union for? |
Are you just member because you
had the initiation fees? or Just to
have some place to go, or for moth
ng only the very curiosity? or did
Eou join for nothing more than to
'eek political favors? Haven't you
lad opportunities to impart the
lnion principles by doing some
hing for your brother? or did
you insist by not doing your duty
'ausing your needy brother to go
way feeling like that he had not
friend on earth, but who perhaps
oursed purer union blood than you
10. Brother we know in many in
tances where we have disregarded
ur obligation and fail to be true to
ur promise of love and fraternity.
Why is it then if we are so good a
nion and observed our obligation ,
nth rehictability that we sold our
orn at IS cents per bushel. Did /
OF such transaction depend upon
ur principle? or was it your best
pportunity to "skin'' your union

brother out the 25 cents by charging
such enormous prices. Did not yol
again lind yourself supported will
chance to exercise a oharitabl,
| deed of christian favor we'll as a
union duty when your brother came
to you for COW to milk and you
refused to let him have one when
you had two running out side and
knew at the same time that they had
not a single one. 0, you need not
grunt for this is true, then why not
let us be good to our neighbor and
be better union men and don't let
our dues go unpaid and when you
hnd a chance to buy something
cheap or want to sell something you
go at once and pay up your dues in
order to take advantage almost of
yourself, then why should it appear
to you when it is practically known
that You let your opportunities be
tied by some tnancier and declare
most abruptable that we are afraid
to ship our produce, fear we make
the business world mad at us, even
If | am member of the union, |
must favor the man who has the
money, well then my brothers and
sisters such efforts on your part
make you a free and independent
union member or does it only enable
you by dogging the business man
what you are to this order. Do you
believe that we have a true union
heart when we voluntarily talk about
some member doing certain things
and accusing them of doing things
that you know is not word of
truth in it. Now we hope that
there is not a man, boy or woman
who is true member of this great
organization that will let such
leering principles be incuIcated and
germinate and grow something
awful shameful rather than that
which is pure and white as the
snow flakes that fall from, the ele-
nents of prosperity. Now is the
lime that all members be loyal and
noble, so you can do an itimized
work in this fight by spontaneously
ioing so on a concrete foundation.

rider in your local and throughout

end your local meetings and have
vour local represented at all county
neetings, educate yourselves on

Much Corn Thrown Away.

The great amount Of variable
weather that has been the rule this
winter has tended to make the keep
ing of corn in the crib difiiel't task.
When it was put into the crib the
corn was not fully matured. Then
when the cold weather came the large
proportion Of water in the ears turn
ed to ice. Thawing weather then
coming caused the ears to steam,
this steam in turn becoming frozen
again. This condition of affairs kept
up all winter has caused hundreds of
bushels of corn TO mould. Farmers
are afraid TO feed this corn to stock
and the ea eater part OF it had to be
thrown away.
