The vital question vas. did the defend

Bald Heads Not Wanted
Badness Is Too Generally Consid-
cred a Sign Of Advanced Age.

A bald headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
a head OF hair, because badness Is too
generally accepted as an indication
of age Many large corporations
have established an age limit, and re-
fuse to take men over 80 years of age
as new employees.
Almost IS per cent of bald headed
people may regain a good head OF
healthy hair II they will follow our
advice and accept our offer. We have
a remedy that we positively guaran-
tee to grow hair on any head, unless
the roots of the hair are entirely dead,
their follicles closed, and the scalp
has become glazed and shiny. We
want people to try this remedy at our
risk, with the distinct understanding
that unless it does exactly what we
claim it will, and gives satisfaction in
every respect, we shall make no
charge for the remedy used during
the trial.
We know exactly what we are talk
ing about, and with this offer back of
our statements no one should scoff,
doubt our word or hesitate to put our
remedy to an actual test.
We want everyone in Skowhegan
who is suffering from any scalp or
hair trouble, dandruff, falling hair or
badness to try our Rexall 1893" Hair
Tonic. We want them to use 1t regu-
iarly-say until three bottles have
been used-and II 1t docs not eradicate
dandruff, cleanse and refresh the
scalp, tighten the hair In its roots,
and grow new hair, we will return
every cent paid US for the remedy for
the mere asking. There is no forma-
lily expected, and we exact no obi
CATION from the user whatever.
We are established right here in
Skowhegan, and make this offer with
a full understanding that our business
success entirely depends upon the
sort OF treatment we accord our
customers, and we would not dare
make the above offer unless we were
positively certain that we could sub
stantiate it In every particular. Two

"A PERFECT BLOOD PURIFIER"

AN IMMEDIATE PROBLEM.

Tillers Of the soil In all the older
agricultural sections of the country
are up against an economic proposition
which It would be well worth while
for them to take into serious account.
We refer to that to be found in an In
crease in the value of farm lands In
the sections referred to. correspond
ing increase in rental charges, and this
coupled with the fact of continually
decreasing soil fertility. Those who
have thought of this problem even su-
perficially can realize at once that this
condition of affairs cannot continue
long. Either the soil robbing methods
of filling land will have to be aban-
doned and a more rational system
adopted In their place in the shape Of
dairying and stock raising or else
farms Of the class referred to will
themselves have to be abandoned. The
wise course to follow would seem to
lie along the line of n reformation Of
agricultural methods, which Is the only
way out of the difficulty consistent
with financial consideration and patri-
otto regard for the dignity Of agricul-
ture as vocation and the marvellous
original endowment of soil fertility.
We should quit this dishonorable busi-
ness of soil robbery and develop a
keener regard than we feel for the
agricultural bankruptcy which 1t will
lead to II persisted In.

late bulletin issued by the United
States department OF agriculture In
treating of the economic aspects OF
some of our common wild animals
places high estimate on the value OF
the common ground hog and badger.
The bulletin cites a fact which may
not be generally known. that the chief
diet of the ground hog consists OF
ground squirrels. pocket gophers and
field mice. A few insects are devoured
as q side dish. and very rarely one Of
the little chaps will raid henhouse.
The chief and really the only fault
that can be found with the badger Is
the digging of its well concealed bur-
rows. which now and then cause the
fall of a horse and furnish an easy
harbor for rabbits during the winter
months. when the occupant is taking
his long sleep. The writer OF the bull
letin reviewing the service which the
ground hog renders in preying on de-
structlve rodents concludes with
statement expressing surprise that
man alone should be the worst enemy
of this, the most useful and least
harmful Of all Of our native mammals
