Questioned Regarding Merger of Har-

New York, Jan. edwin Hawley
Of this city, president of the Iowa Cen
trail Railway company and of the Min
neapolis and st. Louis Railroad COM
pany and director in several other
railroads, including the Western Pa
cif1c, was the first witness called by
the government in the hearing of the
action to dissolve the merger of the
Hartman railroads. Mr.. Hawley said
he had been in the railroad business
for forty years, becoming connected
with the Union Pacific in 1888. Mr..
Hawley was questioned concerning
transcontinental business of the I'm
ion, Central and Southern Pacific at
the time of the alleged merger.
Mr.. Hawley said that he was gen.
eral Eastern agent of the Southern
Pacific at first and that he had juris-
diction over the Morgan lines of
steamers which was used as a part
Of the Sunset route. Competition
among the rival railroad companies
before the formation of the merger, he
said, was general. He declared that
he always opposed the consolidation
of the commercial agencies of the I'm
ion Pacific and Southern Pacific rail-
roads

HELPFUL HINTS ON HAIR
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused BY CareIessness.

Dandruff is a contagious disease
caused by microbe which also
produces a badness. Never use a
comb or brush belonging to some
one else. No matter how Clearly
the owner may be, these articles
may be infected with microbee,
which will infect your scalp. It
is far easier to catch hair microbes
than it is to get rid of them, and
a single stroke of an infected comb
or brush often produces the cause
of badness. Never try on anybody
else's hats for the reason that many
hatband is a netting place for mi
crobes. -
If you happen to be troubled
with dandruff, itching scalp or bald
| ness, we have a remedy that we
positively know will cure these
troubles, and we are so sure of
this that we offer it to you with
the understanding that it will cost
you nothing for the trial if it does
not produce the results we claim.
This remedy is called Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic. It is the most scienti-
fic remedy for all all scalp and
hair troubles, and we know, of
nothing else that equals it for
effectiveness. We know this because
of the results it has produced in
hundreds of cases.
Rexall ''93'' Hair Tonic will posi-
lively Danish dandruff permanently,
restore natural color when its loss
has been brought about by disease
and makes the hair naturally silky,
soft and glossy. It does this because
it stimulates the hair follicles,
removes dandruff, destroys the
germ matter, and brings ubout a
free, healthy, circulation of blood
which nourishes the hair roots,
causing them to tighten and grow
new hair. We want everybody in
Bemidji who has any trouble with
hair or scalp to know that Rexall
90" Hair Tonic is the best hair
tonic and restorative in existence,
and no one should scott at or doubt
this statement until they have put
our claims to a fair test, with the
understanding that they pay us
nothing for the remedy if it does
not give full and complete satisfac-
ton in every particular. Two
sizes, SOC and $1.0o. Barker's Drug
