WOMEN OF BEAUTY
HOMELY AND UNATTRACTHvE
WOMEN ARE LEARNING THE
SECRET OF BEAUTY

Nowadays the clever American wo-
man studies herself. She mas learned
that to be born unattractive doesn't
mean that she must stay so all her
life.
Science has put into her hands
means Of identifying herself, and 1t
is only the ignorant, slovenly and
careless who refuse to accept Ibis
help.
A woman can have the plainest face
but IL she has beautiful
hair she will be attractive; and any
woman can have beautiful hair. Just
go to w. L. Gokays, the druggist, and
get bottle of Partisan Sage, the lad
les favorite hair dressing and dan
druff cure. Use 1t two weeks and
your hair viii be soft, silky, lustrous
and luxuriant.
Partisan Sage is guaranteed by w.
L. Gokay to stop falling hair; to
cure dandruff or itching scalp in two
weeks, or money back.
II is the most delightful hair dress
ing in the world. 1t is not sticky or
greasy and in warm weather 1t cools
and cleans the scalp, and drives away
all disagreeable odors.

FOR THE USERS OF TOBACCO
Assertion That Plant Was Certainly
Placed Here for Good Purpose.

II is passing strange that, with all
the experience at command, the ply
siologists are never in agreement as to
the effects of the smoking habit. Even
where lay opinion has been fairly well
established by the apparently well di
gested views OF the scientists with re
spect to certain phases of the whole
problem, they are wholly liable to up
setting by the latest opinion. For ex.
ample, two considerations have long
been thought to be determined--that
moderate indulgence In tobacco need
not be denied, and that the lad not
out of his teens would better allure
tobacco altogether 1t may be assert
ed that man is not smoker by ma.
ture; and certain effects of tobacco
seem to indicate, without especial ar.
gument, that the longer the acquire.
ment Of the habit is postponed the bet.
ter for the human system. At the
same time the remote antiquity Of the
tobacco plant suggests that 1t is one
Of natures unassisted growths; and,
II It were not designed for man to en-.
Joy in security, neither Is II at all
clear that 1t is to be classed with ma

The Modesty of Women

indellcate questions, the obnoxious ex-
amlnations, and unpleasant local treat
ments, which some physicians consider
essential In the treatment OF diseases OF
women. Yet, II help can be had, 1t is
better TO submit TO this ordeal than let
the disease grow and spread. The trouble
is that so often the woman undergoes all
the annoyance and shame for nothing.

No political campaign in recent
years presents such a promising op.
portunity for the Republican party to
make the contest on state issues as
that which is now upon us. We are
near The end of q biennial term in the
administration of the government of
Vermont that has been successful and
progressive enough to furnish WIN
ming platform all by itself. The rank
and file of the voters of the state,
encouraged by the signs of new life
and ambition that the Republican
party began to give forth after the
drastic quickening of 1902, are now
enthusiastically in harmony with a
political policy that shall continue
the work of making over our laws
and governmental institutions to con
form to the spirit of the New Yer.
mont" The long period of seemingly
unproductiYe agitation for progress
and Improvement in state affairs has
at length borne fruit. The voters
have tasted Of the practical benefits
of the changes that have already
been made and they are ready for
more. The last two years of abun-
dant gains for good government in this
state have fixed the public confidence
in the platform professions of the Re.
publican party. The personal atti-
tude of the head of the Republican
ticket toward this policy of reform
and improvement, the straight
forward declaration of candidate
George II. Prouty that his admins
tration shall be committed unreserv.
eddy TO the continuance of this policy
of progress. is clearly in harmony
with the new spirit of betterment Of
economic and social conditions that
has taken hold OF the thoughtful men.

Hard Times for Highbrows.
The highbrows are flocking back
to Park row. Highbrows, be it
known, are those intellectual gentle
men who fill the pages of the maga-
zines and weekly periodicals with in
effable rot designated as poetry, fic-
tfon and special articles. The finan-
cial stringency has led the publishers
of such literature to tighten their
pursestrings, with the result that
their contributors, who formerly
looked with proud disdain upon the
'scribblers of the daily press" are
now humbly begging city editors for
assignments on "space."
oh. pish, poet Oh. fudge, fic-
ZIONIST! oh, mush, muckraker! De-
spite your lordly bearing and affec-
tation OF spiritual superiority, your
prosperity is Hnextricably bound up
with that of makers of such material
things as baked beans and bubbles,
safety pins and soap. With the ad-
vertising appropriations withdrawn,
YOU are up against it, what? Really,
the despised daily press isn't such a
bad institution, after all, is it, Mr..
Highbrow?
