Charles Neatc. on a visit to Vienna,
was either commissioned by certain
English authorities TO induce Beethoven
to visit England or was persuading
him to do so on his own account, and
as an allurement he spoke Of the su-
periority OF the English aurists In their
treatment Of ear disease and held out
hopes that were Beethoven to consult
them he might at least find some sort
OF relief. Beethoven shook his head.

Removing the DthicuitieS IN an army
OTeer's Transfer.
A young Russian officer wished to be
transferred TO another regiment and
took his request I'm person TO one OF
the lights Of the Russian general stan.
That powerful officer shook his head
and declared the matter very difficult
10 arrange-almost impossible. Then
his glance fell suddenly upon the shoes
OF the lieutenant. TO the ama2ement
Of his visitor. the senior officer said
that the lieutenants shoes were not
nearly>goOd enough for an officer and
that he would strongly advise him 10
buv new shoes OF a shoemaker whose
address he gave. Then. telling his vis-
itor TO return I'm eight days. he dis
missed him. The latter was clever
enough to realize that he could not re-
turn without the new shoes, so he hur-
ried 10 the shoemaker. On hearing
who had sent him the shoemaker said
that the lieutenant could have the
shoes I'm five. days for the sum OF $3.50.
Much astonished. the officer went to
comrade for advice. He was told to
pay half Of this sum at once and the
rest when his shoes were finished.
This the officer did, and. wearing his
new boots. he duly kept his appoint
ment with the general staff officer and
learned to his JOY that all the grave
difficulties" In the way of his transfer
had been successfully removed

GROWS HAIR ON BALD HEADS
Bald Headed Peopls Msy Get New Chance In
llfe

In these days when youth Is the NOV
ing factor In business; when man
makes his mark at thirty five aud Is
ready to retire at forty five; when busl-
ness houses pension the man we call
"middleaged" rather than allow his lag
ging influence to intrude upon the com.
mefcial rush, a bald head Is almost fatal
TO any mans hopes. The following must
therefore prove interesting TO people who
are losing their hair or who are bald.
Rssorcin Is one OF the latest and most
effective germ killers discovered by
science, and In connection with Beta
Nspthol, which is both germicidal and
antiseptc, a combination is formed
which destroys the germs which robs the
hair OF Its nutriment, and also creates q
clean and healthy condition OF the scalp,
which prevents the development OF new
germs.
PlIocarpin is a well known agent for
restoring the hair to It's natural color.
where the loss OF color has been due to q
disease OF the scalp. Yet, II Is not a col
oring matter or dye.
This combination OF curatives mixed
with alcohol as stimulant periects the
most effective remedy for hair and scalp
troubles.
The famous Rexall "03" Hair Tonic IL
chiefly composed OF Resorcin, Beta Nap
thol and Plocarpin. Ii makes the scalp
healthy, nourishes the hair, stimulates
the follicles. Where the head Is already
bare, Il enters the iollicles, reyilalizss the
roots, supplies nourishment and stimu-
lstes a new growth,
We want you to try lew bottles OF
Rexall "03" Hair Tonic, on our personal
guarantee that the trial will not cost
you penny II 1t does not give you alb
solute satisfaction. That's proof Of our
faith In this remedy and 1t should In
dIsputably demonstrate that we know
what we are talking about when we say
that Rexsll "93'' Hair Tonic will grow
hair on bald heads. except OF course
where badness has been OF such long du-
ration that the roots OF the hair are en-
tirely dead, the follicles closed and grown
over, and the scalp Is glazed.
Remember. we are basing our state
ments upon what has already been &C.
complished by the use OF Rexall "93'

Decay Of Building Stones.

The causes Of decay In building
stones are various and depend on the
physical structure Of the stone, Its
composition and the nature Of the sur
rounding atmosphere. The most de-
structiye agent to which the stone Is
exposed Is rain or moist atmosphere
and also in u minor degree wind, frost
and smoke. The air Of large towns Is
usually charged with various deleteri-
Gus acids. These acids are dissolved
by the rain, which penetrates the stone
In 4 greater or less degree, according
to its physical structure, and combines
with the constituents Of the stone.

BE SURE YOU'RE RIGHT.
Then Take a Long Think and Mind

The other day man travelling on a
shore line train noticed, protruding
from an overhead rack. dress suit
case which he recognized as belonging
to a friend. He knew that his friend
always got of at the station which
they had just passed. and as be was
not In the seat the conclusion was in
evitable that he had jumped of the
train and forgotten 1t.
The man called the conductor and
explained the case TO him. After some
discussion and mild protest on the
part OF the conductor that 1t wasn't a
part Of his duty, the suit case was put
off at the next station, with instruc-
tions to send it back on the first train
the other way.
The man. feeling that be had done
an able and friendly act. settled down
for the rest Of his journey.
But not for long. The face OF his
friend, who had been In the smoker
and who happened on that particular
afternoon to be going on 10 New Lon
don to attend a dinner party-loomed

The moral of this is. Of course, quite
evident.
