arms. six thousand ball cartridges and arg
quantity OF guard cartridges. IT was sugeesleo
that this was really blind that the purchase
would be conducted by Csstro's agents In New
York that cash would be paid for the arms ana
ammunition and that they would be shlpped 10
Venezuela instead Of TO Cuba.
It is admitted BY the authorities IN the war
Department that certain parties in New York
have been persistent in their inquiries regarding
the old Springfield rifles which have been dis
placed in the American army by more modern
eouinrneut although the officials declined to re-
veal the names OF those who had approached
Them on the subject. The department has
authority Under the law to sell the old Spring
felds, which have been superseded by the hrag-
JorgenseE guns, together with the ammunition
tor the former, and the authorities see no rea-
son why they should not dispose Of this obsolete
material, although they will take steps to ascer-
tain 10 what the arms will be put before
they make any delivery The quantity Of
springhelds hand is large. and it would be
regarded as good stroke Of business TO dispose
Of them g a reasonable price.

Are Microbes
In Your Scalp?
It Has Been Proved That Mi.
crobes Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and Dr. Sabourand, the lead
ing French dcrmatologist. discovered
that a microbe causes badness.
Their theory has time and again
been amply verified through research
experiments carried on under the OBJ
seTvation of eminent scientists This
micrObe lodges in the sebur. which
Is the natural hair oil. and when
permitted to flourish it DESTROYS. the
hair follicles and in time the pores
entirely close, and the scalp gradu-
ally takes on shiny appearance.
v hen this happens there is no hope
of the growth of hair being revived.
Dandruff is a contagious disease.
which is largely due to destructive
microbe, which when left to pursue
its course causes itching scalp, fall
ing hair and badness. Dandruff is
caused by the microbe affecting the
glands which produce the sebaceous
natter, which latter then unnatur-
ally dries up and scales off
We have a remedy which will, We
honestly believe, remove dandruff. ex-
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around
the hair roots, tighten and revitaIize
the hair roots and overcome badness
so long as there is any life left in
the hair roots.
We back up this statement with
our own personal guarantee that
this remedy called RexaIl "93" Hair
Tonic will be supplied free of all cost
