The Balkan situation.

Sofia, Oct. licking Ferdinand OF
Bulgaria today received the members OF
the special commission sent from Turkey
to negoliste, if possible, settlement OF
the Turko.BulgsriAn troubles. While
on the surface the meeting Is proceed
ing along pscifcatorS lines, little hope
is entertained here that the negotiations
will succeed.
Bulgaria has practically been forced
to submit 10 these negotiations by the
other powers, principally BY France,
whose activity In the crisis Of Saturday
Is believed to have averted for the time
being the commencement OF hostilitieS
between Turkey and Bulgaria.
Under these conditions Bulgaria Is
making a show of engaging In the con-
ference in good faith. Her real pur-
pose, it is recognized, is to assume 3
frisndiness In order to catch Turkey Oh
her guard and when the opportune
moment arrives to throw of her mask,
grab Macedonia and strike with all her
might against Turkey.
The Bulgarian war spirit Is just as
high as ever, and any agreement that
entails an indemnity to Turkey will be
bitterly resisted.
Belgrade, Oct. ia new and start
ling war menace arose today In the arrest
Of SO Austrian army officer BY the Ser-
Wan authorities who claim that the
officer is spy.
The Austrian minister has demanded
the officers release and has threatened to
call on the Austrian gunboht' In
the Danube, but q few miles
from Belgrade, to enforce his demands.
The situstiop is 80 serious that many OF
the foreign resident, are sending their
families out Of the country.
The SeIvian authorities refuse abso-
lutely to release the officer pending
Thorough investigation Of his movements.
They say he had been under surveil-
lance and WIS uuquestionsbly acting as
spy.
Oronstsdt, Oct. 19-The Russian
bst!leships CzArevitch and Slavs and the
Cruiser Bogatyr sailed today for Turkish
waters to watch the developments be-
tween Turkey and Bulgaria. The exact
destination OF the feet was not announced.
st. Petersburg, Oct. 49, That Bus
STA intends to aid Turkey 10 the event
of clash with Bulgaria is believed here
to be clearly indicated 10 the dispatch
Of Russian feet from Cronstadt to
Turkish wsters. The admiralty wells
its explanation with the vague announce
ment that the fleet goss to Turkey mere
lily to "wst:h developments" The
Russian public believes that the feet
will notaonly watch developments but
will take part In them II its assistance Is
needed by Turkey.
Paris, October l9.-As Inc result OF
conference today between N. Oonstans,
the French ambassador, and Grand
Vizier Kismil Pashs, the order for the
mobilization OF Turkish troops In Asia
Minor has been Withdrawn. NJ. Con-
staus gave the grand vizier assurances
that Bulgaria had no intention OF de-
claripg war.

Microbes in the Scalp
The Latest Explanation is that
Microbes Cause Badness.

Professor Unna, OF Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand of Paris,
France, share the honor of having dis
covered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through a few
weeks work of these hair microbes, but
is the result of conditions brought
bout by their presence. Badness may
not occur until years after the microbes
began work, but It Is certain to come
sooner or later.
The microbes cut off the blood sup
ply. They feed on the fatty matter
about the root Of the hair, through
which the blood is absorbed. Finally
the fatty matter is wholly consumed,
the food supply of the hair 10 gone and
It staryes and finally dies.
Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers; Beta Napthol is both
germicidal and antiseptic; Pilocarpin,
though not a die, restores natural color
TO hair when loss of color was caused by
disease. These curatives properly mix
ed with alcohol as a stimulant, perfect
a remedy unequalled for curing scalp
and hair troubles.
we WANT ever JOuS WIN Los al SOL
or hair trouble to try Rexall 'o3" Hair
Tonic, which contains all these ingre
dients. II it does not grow hair on
your bald head, stop your hair from
falling out; cure you of dandruff; make
your hair thick, silky, luxuriant; II it
does not give you complete satisfaction
in every particular, return the empty
bottle to us, and we shall return every
penny you paid us for 1t, without ques-
ton or formality.
Of course, you understand that when
we say that Rexall "e3" Hair Tonic will
grow hair on bald heads. we do not refer
to cases where the roots are entirely
dead, the pores of the scalp closed, and
the head has the shiny appearance of a
billiard ball. In cases like this, there is
no hope. In all other cases OF badness,
Rexall "e3" Hair Tonic will positively
grow hair, or cost the user nothing. W.
