MONEY

The average man when he pays 15c
for ono application of hair tonic
thinks he is paying pretty good price.
but nevertheless the barber isn't MAX
ing as much money as his customer
supposes. The ready-to-use quinine
hair torlics Of real merit are expensive
preparations, costing 90 and $3.50
for small bottles. But there is one pro-
gressive, barber who has found a way
to satisfy his customers and more
than break even" on the use of
Quinine hair tonic.s He makes it him
self. using only one ounce Of Beta
Quinol and half pint of alcohol and
half pint Of water This gives him
q genuine and excellent quinine hair
tonic for about one-tlhird the usual
cost. His own preparation pleases bis
customers better than the higher
priced tonics he formerly used. There
Is nothing better than Beta Quinol for
the hair, for it keeps the scalp in a
clean and healthy condition, removes
dandruff and makes the hair soft and
luxuriant. This home made Beta
Quinol hair tonic has stopped falling
hair on many of the BARRIERS patrons.
He has given his recipe to several of
them and his customers are now MAX
ing the tonic themselves. The mater
ials cam be procured at any drug store.
Simply shake them well together and
they are ready to use.

An Important Effect.

Sioux City, Jan. 25.-Great import
arce attaches TO the decision of Judge
John f. Oliver, in the case of Rev. H.
II. Sawyer VS.. John II. Jones and 9TH
ers. The decision will settle the ques-
ton of cellar being used as q stor-
age department for a saloon under the
Iowa law. and whether or not beer may
be tapped and piped into a saloon.
The third attempt to convict Jones
of contempt of court was made. Twice,
before, he won out. and his attorneys
are making another hard fight. The
first time Jones was convicted. but APP
pealed to the supreme court and got a
favorable decision. The second action
was dismissed because of a technical
error.
John f. Joseph, representing the
anti-saloon league, proved that Jones
kept beer in the cellar under his sa-
loon at Fifth and Douglas streets. The
liquor was skidded in thru a window,
according to the testimony of witness
es. When keg is tapped in the cell
lar 1t is connected to pipe and The
contents pumped up thru the saloon

Virtually. the decision of Judge Oil
yer will tell whether or not saloon
keeper may go thru another mans
building and have an entrance to his
cellar which does not open on the
street. The anti-saloon league proved
that the cellar whs reached thru the
basement under the Harrington pool
nall, next door IN the Jones bar.
