A BALD.nEADED WOMAN
sHORN OF HER CROWN OF BEAUT,
LOSES IN LOVE AND MARRIAGE.

Hair is certainly most necessary to
bald headed woman? What charms
could one array to offset such disfgure-
ment?
A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her browning glory Is her
hair. The loss of her hair mars her
beauty, happiness and success. Yet,
right here in Paris, there are thousands
of women who are neglecting or injuring
their hair to such an extent that 1t Is
only a matter of time when 1t will be
utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty OF
their hair through thoughlessness or ig-
norance of certain facts. They use cnrl-
ing irons over. heated, or to excess, which
destroys the natural oil of the hair, caus-
ing it to split, break and come out. They
do not shampoo their hair often enough
or too often. They use soaps or prepa-
rations which contain Ingredients posi-
lively harmful to the scalp and hair.
As a result of such treatment, dand-
ruff is created, the hair loosens, loses
color, falls out, and badness commences,
unless proper and prompt precautions
are taken in time. Then again, microbes
and certain diseases bring about un.
healthy scalp and hair conditions.
Almost anyone may rid themselves OF
dandruff and diseased scalp and hair II
they will but use the right remedy. We
have that remedy, and we will positively
guarantee that 1t will either cure dand.
ruff and badness or it will not cost the
user anything.
That's a pretty broad statement, but
we will back 1t and prove 1t with oui
own money. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is
] the remedy that will grow hair and over.
come all scalp and hair troubles. It will
grow hair even on bald heads, unless all
life in the hair roots has been extin-
guished, the follicles closed, and the
scalp is glazed and shiny. 1t gets Its
name from the fact that it grew bair in
90 out of 100 cases, where it received q
thoroughly hard, impartial and practical
test.
We want you to try Re1all "93" Hair
Tonic at our risk. You surely cannot
lose anything by doing so, while you
have everything to gain. You had bet
ter think this over. and then come in and
see us about this offer. You will be we'll
repaid for your visit to our store. +. A.

President Hyde stirred up the monk
eys" to some extent by criticising the
gambling games of more or less magni-
tude and some of the sideshows which
follow the fairs, using the Topsham
fair as an illustration because that was
the one nearest at hand. The general
trend of the discussion called out by his
remarks is that there is some truth in
what he says. There are undoubtedly
various degrees of offences, and some
times it is rather difficult to draw the
line between that which may be allowed
and that which may not, but there are
probably few of the fairs that will not
stand little fumigation.

JuDt, likewise, Is the requirement that

by an official disavowal Of a holy war

mitted to the various towns and tribes
Of the Moroccan dominions..
Now, although Germany, as we have

defer recognition of MULAI HAFID until
France and Spain should have been
reimbursed for the expenses incurred
by them In the reestablishment Of order
in Casablanca and certain coast towns
"a reimbursement now reserved for
subsequent negotiations-it is hard to
see how she a refuse to cooperate in
insisting upon those guarantees inter-
esting all the signatory Powers, includ-
ing the United States, which alone are
included in the note submitted by
France and Spain. We think the gen.
eral opinion will be that France has
exhibited in this Morocco business COM
mendable moderation and forbearance
and ought to receive the moral support
of all the Powers participating in the
Algeciras convention.
