Among the great and beneficial ac-
complishments of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration and one whose good eff
feet was worldwide, was the diplo-
matte step that brought the awful
war between Russia and Japan to a
close. The Peace Treaty of Ports
mouth was made possible only by the
conciliatory influence put forth by the
national administration. This is only
one of many accomplishments the Re-
publican party can point to with
pride. 1t is one. too, that helps to
prove the claim that 1t is a party
that does instead of dreams.

know that this statement Is :not true.
There has been tremendous de-
crease in the amount of direct state
taxes collected from real and personal
property other than that belonging to
public service corporations, and IN
local taxation thare has been an
equalization which has as rule, de-
creased the taxes on the homes and
the farms and increased the taxes on
certain corporate interests to their
fair share and no more. Mr.. BEN
nett would have made a stronger
point II he had said that the lobbying
force had been so strong at Charles
ton that so far It had been found i'm
possible to remove the direct state
tax entirely, and that II elected gov
ernor he would work to that end. 1t
would also be interesting to know
whether Mr. Bennett thinks there
should be production tax on oil and
gas, but we greatly fear he does no.
believe in that eminently proper tax.
Mr.. Bennett intimates that the old
system was preferable to the new.
Ergo, he would abandon the new for
the old. From this we may draw the
conclusion that Mr.. Bennett believes
that farm lands, homes and most
business houses in cities should be-
assessed at one-third to two-thirds
their value, railroad corporations at
one-tenth their value, coal lands. tim
Der lands and oil lands-of which he
has great store himself-at one
twentieth to one-hundredth their val
ne and express companies, telephone
companies, telegraph companies and
pipe lines and gas pumping stations
from little to nothing at all. Such
was the situation before the tax re-
formers got busy and to such Mr..
Bennett says he would like to return.
Could he have a personal interest in
the matter?

He accepted with a broad smile AMI

The Somerset reporter., 1908-11-05
Are Microbes In Your
Scalp.
Many Explanations Of Badness
Have Been Advanced. The
Most Correct Is That of
Microbes.

The term "microbe" refers to a
parasitic plant or fungi also call
ed bacteria. A microbe is so small
that it can only be detected by the
aid of microscope. Some microbes
are harmless, while others produce
various diseases, and derive their
growth or because of the diseases
they create, which diseases are infec-
tious or contagious
Prof Unna of of Hamburg, Germa-
ny, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
dermatologist of France, discovered
that microbe caused badness, and
their theory has time and again been
amply verified through research ex-
periments carried on through the OBJ
servation of eminent scientists. This
microbe lodges in the Sebum, which
is the natural hair oil, and If permit
ed to flourish, it destroys the hair fol-
licles, and in time the pores entirely
close and the scalp gradually takes
on a shiny appearance. When this
happens there is no hope of the hair
growth being revived.
Dandruff is a contagious disease
which a microbe causes, and later
produces itching scalp, falling hair
and badness. Dandruff is caused by
the microbe diseasing the Sc
baceous matter, which dries up and
scales off. Sometimes the cuticle
surrounding the hair allows the nat
ural oil OF the hair to force its way
between the flakes of scarf skin di
rect TO the hair and the microbe be.
ing between the fakes force them
apart and they scale off as dandruff.
We have a remedy which positively
will remove dandruff, exterminate
the microbe, promote good circula-
ton in the scalp, tighten and revita
lize the hair roots. grow hair and cure
badness. We back up this statement
on our own personal guarantee that
this remedy, which is called Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic, will be supplied tree
OF all cost to the user if it fails TO do
as we promise. 1t will also restore
gray and faded hair to its original
rich, glossy color, if loss of color has
been caused by disease, yet it is in no
sense a dye. Rexall "93' Hair Tonic
accomplishes these results by making
every hAEr root, follicle and pigment
gland strong and active, and by stim-
ulating q natural flow of coloring pig
ment into the hair cells.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is entirely
free from grease or sediment, is ex-
ceedingly pleasant to use, and will
not gum the hair or soil the clothing
or pillows.
We want everyone troubled with
hair or scalp ailments, even though
they are bald in spots, to try Rexall
"93'' Hair Tonic on our guarantee.
We exact no obligations or promises,
and simply ask you to give it thor
ough trial, and II not satisfied, tell us,
and we will refund the money paid US.

For the week of November 9Th, the
Boston Theatre will have an attrac-
tion that will lend itself particularly
to the great stage of that theatre,
with all the beautiful stage settings
that have now become associated
with it, and it will be particularly
notable, for the play is one in which
Frank Losee made one of his greatest
hits. This will be Paul Kester's
dramatization of Dorothy Vernon of
Haddon Hail." the novel by Charles
Major which gained such wide popu-
larity. 1t will also afford Miss Gordon
an opportunity to appear in one of
those emotional parts in which sne
has won such distinction. She will
appear as the famous Dorothy Yer

Fox Skin Business in Maine.

1t is estimated that about IS, 900 fox
skins are sold out of Maine every
year Very few of the sly animals
are shot. Many are killed by the use
of poisoned bait, while hundreds of
others are killed in "drivers," known
as the "New Hampshire method. u
This is not sportsmanlike, but the fur
hunters are in the game for cash, not
sport. No accurate statistics are
available as to the number of 70 xes
captured in Maine Ill a year, but
some time ago Charles b. Oak Of
Bangor, then land agent, said at a
committee hearing that more than
$4,000 fox skins were sold out of
Aroostook county alone every year.
Outside of Aroostook county, where
several men make business of fox
hunting, perhaps $4,000 pelts are
taken in a year, making the total
output of the State $4,000. This price
of good fox skins reached the highest
notch last winter, even red pelts
commanding from $3.50 to 95 each, as
against So. so two years ago and $3.50
five years ago. For silver greys,
which are rare, and black, which are
very rare, prices remain very much
as in former years, though the rates
have advanced somewhat, and the
market is much steadier since the
close of the war between Japan and
Russia, as nearly all these expensive
skins are marketed in Russia. One
fox skin in 200 is from ''crossn fox,
and is valued at $50; one in 10, 900 is
a silver grey and is worth from 5000
to 5000, and perhaps one i'll 100000 is
pure and radiant black, which may
bring $500 or even $1,000, thus
making the coat OF the black fox the
most valuable garment worn by any
animal on top of the earth.
