means business and is acting in good
faith and is not trying to work" the
people come to light every day.
The company seems anxious to ask
nothing unreasonable. IL simply
wants fair treatment and the united
support of the city and in return will
construct the city electric railway
system and then take up the construc-
tion of the line to Palisade.
As long as the company acts
squarely it should receive every en-
couragement from every citizen hav-
ing the best interests OF the commun-
ity at heart. An electric railway is
badly needed. it has long been wanted
and now that men with ample cap

ARE MICROBES IN YOUR
SCALP.
Many Explanations of Badness
Have Been Advanced. The
Most Correct is That of
Microbes

The term "mlcrobe" refers to para
site plant or fungi also called bacteria.
A mlcrobe is 80 small that it can only be
detected by the aid of "a microscope.
Some microbes are harmless, while others
produce various diseases and derive
their titles through the form of their
growth or because of the diseases they
create, which diseases are infectious or
contagious.
Prof. Unna of Hamburg, Gremany 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 experiments carried on
through the observation of eminent scien-
lists. This microbe lodges in the Sebum,
which is the natural hair oil, and if per
mitted to flourish, it destroys the hair
follicles, 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.
Dandrutf is a contagious disease which
microbe causes, and later produces
itching scalp. falling hair and badness.
Dandruff is caused by the microbe di-
seasing the sebaceous matter, which dries
up and scales off. Sometime the cuticle
surrounding the hair allows the natural
oil of the hair to force its way between
the flakes of scarf skin direct to the hair,
and the microbe being between the flakes
force them apart and they scale off as
dandTuff.
We have remedy which positively
will remove dandruff. eXterminate the
microbe, promote good circulation in the
scalp, tighten and revitalize the hair
roots, grow hair and cure bal ness We
back up that statement on our own per.
sonal guarantee that this remedy, which
is called ReXall "93' Hair Tonic, will be
supplied free of all cost to the user if it
fails to do as we promise. 1t will also
restore gray and faded hair to its origi-
nal rich, glossy color, if loss of color has
been caused by disease. yet it is in no
sense a dye. Rexall "93 Hair Tonic ac-
composites these results by making every
hair root, follicle and pigment gland
strong and active, and by stimulating a
natural flow of coloring pigment into the
hair cells.
Rexall ''93' Hair Tonic is entirely free
from grease or sediment, is exceedingly
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 guarntee. We exact no
obligations or promises, and simply ask
you to give il a thorough trial, and il not
satisfied, tell us, and We will refund the
money paid us. DIR. w. Ii. Sheldon,
