REWARD

Have you ever known of thor oughly verified, authentic case where hair was regrown or made to spront on bald head?
 If you have information of such a remedy, or formula, or hair grower, there's a few baldheaded millionaires who will cheerfully allow you to sep -arate them from great big wads of money. You can get from us enough to buy several automobiles, with a chaffeuer, a yacht and farm Or two thrown in.
 There's enough bald heads sitting nightly in the front rows of the big theaters to make us fabulously rich if we could become possessed of sOme- thing that would put hair on a bald head in which the roots are dead. About as far as We have gone in an investigation of years is to find some thing that will keep the hair you al- ready have, and that will restore, as well, the color to your hair if it has become gray. If we cannot do this the druggist who sells you our dis covery will return you the money up to the sixth bottle. Also, if you have dandruff, pityrias simplex, seborrhoeal eczema, alopecia areata folliculitis (cracking or splitting hair) We will cure you if there is any agency on this great globe yet found that can do so. Dandruff we will stop on the third application. We cannot, do not cure everybody, as in some cases our direc- tions for treatment are not closely ad- hered to, but if we cannot cure you your druggist will refund the money.
 This is a form of guarantee-what is it worth? Look us up in any Com mercial Directory or inquire of any bank, or ask any druggist. We guar antee to restore the color to your hair you now have-we guarantee to give you a fine, lovely, luxuriant, silken, glossy head of hair.

Hyperhole.

A Rochester clergyman was accust toned to use scientific terms, which the people did not understand. A deputa. ton waited on him with the request that in the future whenever he used such terms he would explain them. On the following Sunday he used the term hyperbole and added: "As agreed on, I beg to explain this word. Were l to say that at this moment the whole of my congregation are sound asleep 1t would be hyperbole, but if l say that one-half are asleep that Is no hyper bole, but the truth" The next day the Reputation again called to say that the minister need not explain technical terms. The people would learn their meaning from a dictionary.-Rochester Herald

At His Word.

Many postoff1ce names are queer enough to make one desire an explana, ton of them. Sometimes the explana. ton is queerer than the name itself. A minister in Cass county wrote to Washington in behalf of the residents of a growing hamlet, asking that s postof1ce be added to its institutions, The request was favorably received and he was asked to suggest a name that would be acceptable to his neigh bors. He replied that they were not hard to please so long as the name was peculiar. The postoflce department. took him at his word. and Peculiar Is the name of the office to this day. Kansas City Star.

Slang of Other Days.

Slang has always been fruitful source for the expansion of language, and instances may be multiplied of words now respectable which were once tabooed as vulgarisms. But, on the other hand. there have been many slang phrases in use for centuries which have never become acceptable to the purists. As long ago as 175o the celebrated letter writer Horace Wal pole used to speak of "sitting guzzling' 1nd getting drunk as an owl" Then again in the diary of one of the most prominent woman writers of the eight eenth century, Frances Burney, ars found good slang phrases of the Amer. lean college girl of today, as, for in. stance, "I sneaked out" Did you ever know such a toadY and "1 had . vile cold."-St. Louis Republic.

WastefuI Ignorance.

The ordinary waste of food in aL English middle class family would be sufficient wholly to maintain French family of similar station, and the waste of food is at least largely due to the ignorance of cookery which pre-. vails among the classes from which English domestic servants are derived London Lancet.

The efforts of the prohibitions to secure the appointment of elect.on commissioners, whom, they state, Jill give them a square count of the ,g, hibition vote, will doubtless fail to meet with success as it is eustomal, for the State board to name men recommended by the county convel- tions over the State.

Ing exactly on these stones and sep
arated by the wide expanse Of the

and failed miserably, says a writer In
the Washington Star ! suppose It is
merely that by some sort of outra-
geously complicated acoustic the hui
man voice, starting as a soft-spoken
word from one Of these stones, In
Dhonographically treated and magni-
fed until It is a regular below when
Il arrives at the other But this isn't
the whispering stones, but concerns .
congressional feud they started.
There are two Democrats ii the
house from the same southern state
who have never been particularly inn
pressed with each other, but who have
always taken the greatest pains to
remain on the most friendly terms.
Let's call them Jones and smlsA, And
explain their courtesy by saying that
Jones, although he didn't like Smith,
thought Smith likes him and vice
versa,
But it's all over now, for one day
last week Jones was standing in stat
uary hall talking with a constituent
and the conversation turned on Smith,
There we're few people scattered
around the hall, but Jones. always
cautious, spoke in almost a whisper.
But IN that whisper be relieved hia
mind. He called Smith everything be
could think Of from a conceited. pin
headed ass up. And after he had con-
eluded his peroration and had paused

dropped dead when, apparently out Of
she clear sky, came. in an enraget
roar. the voice Of Smith. And Smith
started Oh with "snake!" and from
that he branched out and became elo
quent.
When Jones recovered his presence
of mind he began to glance around
and far across statuary hall, standing
IN one Of the whispering stones
which, II might be explained, are moi
marked in any wayne saw Smith
gesiculating violently and apparent
~ talking to himself, for there was nj
one within yards Of him. But everJ
word that he said reached Jones, and
In a minute he was barking back, This
spectacle was perfectly idiotic, bu'
this fact didn't appeal to either JoneI
or Smith at the time

somewhat indiscreet whisperinl

Democratic Newspapers in Line,

Without exception, the Demo-
cratic newspapers of the State
speak in high terms of the action
of the Roanoke convention and
praise the platform there adopted.
Further, all Democratic publica-
tiOnS in the State now concede that
Mr.. Bryan Will be nominated, and
their support Is assured. In 1896
and 1900 Z number of the Demo-
cratic papers of the State "bolted"
the nominees of the Democratic
National Convention, and in 1904
the support which was given Par
ker by the Virginia press gener-
ally was very mild. All this had
its effect both in and out Of the
State, and now that there is no
possibility Ofany of the newspapers
of the State "bolting' the nomi-
neeS for this year the prospects
for election of a Democratic presi-
dent grow brighter every day. Let
every voter work hard for the
nominees of the party, irrespective
of his personal choice of candi-
date. The principles of the party
are greater than any man, and the
platform which will be adopted at
Denver in July will be one upon
which all Democrats and many Re-
publicans and Independents can
combine. Get together, and put
your shoulders to the wheel.

progressive rapidly, and the school
patrons expect to occupy it for the
