nevolent efforts of the gentleman

has resources, that, to use the hack

that all this wealth is purchased, for
nominal consideration, by parties
who will control it for their own
benefit. Alaska has begged piteously
for statehood, which is postponed
again and again. Unable to protect
herself, therefore, she is hopelessly
subject to the fair dealing of the De-
partment of the Interior in respect to
lands, mineral wealth, etc.

TO BID ON ALBANY
FEDERAL BUILDING.
Contractor Who Built Americas Build
ing Seeking Albany Contract.
ALBANY Herald.)

(Albany Herald)
Mr.. George Decking, a we'll known
contractor and builder, who has the
contract for erecting the government
building at Americus, and who has
done a great deal of work for the
government, was in the city yesterday.
Mr.. Decking called on Postmaster H.
f. Brimberry and secured set of
plans and specifications for Albany's
new building, on which he intends to
submit bid Mr. Decking, after a
casual examination of the plans and
specifications, expressed it as his
opinion that Albany was going to get
splendid building.
Mr., Decking greatly admired AL
bany's new municipal building, which
is now nearing completion. When he
learned what the building costs the
city, he was greatly surprised. Il
wouldn't like to have the contract at
that figure said Mr. Becking. THE
city is certainly getting its moneys
worth, and great bargain, in my es-
timation."

Care in Preparing Food.

In recent years scientists have
proved that the value of food is meas
ured largely by its purity; the re-
suit is the most stringent pure food
laws that have ever been known.
One food that has stood out promi-
nently as a perfectly clean and pure
food and which was as pure before
the enactment of these laws as it
could possibly be is Quaker Oats;
conceded by the experts to be the ideal
food for making strength of muscle
and brain. The best and cheapest of
all foods. The Quaker Oats Company
is the only manufacturer of oatmeal
that has satisfactorily solved the prob
lem of removing the husks and black
specks which are so annoying when
other brands are eaten
For hot climates Quaker Oats is
packed in Theoretically sealed tins,
keeps fresh and sweet anywhere. /

FOR YOUR HAIR.
Here Are Facts We Want You to
Prove at Our Risk.

mere Are FhctS we want You TO
Prove at Our Risk.
Marvellous as it may seem, Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic has grown hair on
heads that were once bald. OF course
it is understood that in none of these
cases were the hair roots dead nor
had the scalp taken on glazed
shiny appearance.
When the roots of the hair are en-
tirely dead and the pores of the scalp
are glazed over, We do not believe
that anything can restore hair growth
When Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will do
as above stated, it is not strange that
We have such great faith in it and
that we claim it will prevent badness
when used in time. 1t acts scientifi-
cally, destroying the germs which are
usually responsible for badness. 1t
penetrates to the roots of the hair,
stimulating and nourishing them. It
is a most pleasant toilet necessity,
is delicately perfumed and will not
gum nor permanently stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle of
Rexall "93" Hair TOMS and use it as
directed. If it does not relieve scalp
irritation, remove dandruff, prevent
the hair from falling out and pro-
mote an increased growth of hair and
in every way give entire satisfaction.
simply come back and tell us and
without question or formality we will
hand back to you every penny you
paid US for it,
We lend our endorsement TO Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic and sell it on this
guarantee, because we believe it is
the best hair tonic ever discovered.
1t comes in two sizes, prices 80 cents

tain it only at our store-The ReXall
