And people who have cured them
selves of catarrh with Hyomei will tell

HOUSE DIVIDED AGAINST
ITSELF ON LOCAL OPTION
Repeal Republican Measure by the Democrats Is in
Doubt-Caucus Tonight Is Doubtful as to
It's Outcome.

indianapolis. Ind, Jan 29.-Although
they remained In session for more than
two hours, yesterday afternoon. the
democratic members of the house failed
to reach any definite conclusion as to
what they will do with the local option
matter. It had been expected that the
house committee on public morals
would make a report yesterday on the
bill and that IT would be a divided re-
port, the democrats favoring the pas
sage of the bill to substitute township
and ward local option bill for the pres
ent county local option law. This is
the bill that was introduced by Repre-
sentative Kleckner of Cass county, and
1t will probably be reported out of the
committee ahead of any of the other
anti-liquor bills that have been intro
duced.
VIII Present Minority Report.
The three republican members of the
committee, Elliott, Jay and Maddox,
announced that they were ready to
sign minority report against the pas
sage of the repeal BILL and for a time
there was a prospect that the demo
Gratis would get together and sign a
majority report favoring the passage
that Representative Hostetter, demo
crat, of Putnam county, would not sign
either report. So the democrats decided
to delay the making of a report unit
they could get together on the matter
The democrats of the house then de-
cided to hold caucus on the local op-
ton question and try to find out jusi
| where they stood. This caucus wa:
held yesterday afternoon in the speak
er's room. Nearly all of the democrati,
members were present, and there was
wide range of talk on the subject. Il
developed that there are several demo.
Gratis in the house who will oppose tn,
repeal of the county option law, ever
the substitution of the ward and town
ship unit for the county unit. Jus
how many of these there are is no
known definitely. but there are said II
be at least thirteen of them.
Democrats Elect Caucus Officers.
While the discussion of the local op
ton question was in progress some on,
suggested that this would be a goo,
time to elect house democratic caucus
officers. The democrats had not We

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
about by their presence. Badness may
not occur until years after the mi
crobes 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 is gone and
it starves and finally dies.
Resorcin is one Of the most effective
germ destroyers; Beta Napthol is both
germicidal and antiseptic; Pilocarpin,
though not a dye. restores natural
color to hair when loss of color was
caused by disease. These curatives
properly mixed with alcohol as a stimu-
liant, perfect a remedy unequalled for
curing scalp and hair troubles
We want everyone who has any scalp
or hair troubles to try RexaIl "93" Hair
Tonic, which contains all these ingredi-
ents. If 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; if it does
not give you complete satisfaction in
every particular, return the empty bot
tie TO US, and we shall return every
penny you paid US for it, without ques-
tion or formality.
Of course, you understand that when
we say Rexall "es" Hair Tonic will
grow hair on bald heads, we do not re-
fer to cases where the roots are en-
tirely dead, the pores of the scalp
closed. and the head has the shiny APP
