HELPFUL HINTS ON HAIR HEALTH
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by Carelessness.

Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by Carelessness.
DandrT1f is a contagious disease
caused by a microbe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use comb or
brush belonging to someone else. No
matter how clearly the owner may
be, these articles may be infected with
microbes, which will infect your
scalp. 1t is far easier to catch hair
microbes than it is to get rid of them,
and single stroke of an infected
comb or brush may well lead to bald
ness. Never try on anybody's else's
hat. Many hatband is a resting
place for microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with
dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair
or badness, we have a remedy which
we believe will completely relieve
these troubles. We are so sure of this
that we offer it to you with the I'M
derstanding that it will cost you moth
ng for the trial if it does not produce
the results we claim This remedy
Is called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. We
honestly believe it to be the most sci
entific remedy for scalp and hair
troubles, and we know of nothing else
that equals it for effectiveness, be-
cause of the results it has produced
in thousands of cases.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is devised
to Danish dandruff, restore natural
color when it's loss has been brought
about by disease, and make the hair
naturally silky, soft and glossy. 1t
does this because it stimulates the
hair follicles, destroys the germ mat
ter, and brings about free, healthy
circulation of blood, which nourishes
the hair roots, causing them to tighten
and grow new hair. We want every
body who has any trouble with hair or
scalp to know that Rexall 1913" Hair
Tonic is the best hair tonic and re-
storative in existence, and no one
should scott at or doubt this state
ment 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 satisfaction in every partic-
ular. Two sizes, so cents and $1O0.
Remember you can obtain Rexall
Remedies in Americas only at our
store-The Rexall Store. Dodson's
Pharmacy.

CITY DISPUTE OVER
BRICKS TO BE SETTLED.
City Has Offer to Take Bricks OFF Its
Hands at Cost.

The dispute of the city with w. P.
Wallis, Esq, growing out of the al
legged refusal of Mr.. Wallis to carry
out an alleged contract with the city
to take certain bricks off its hands for
which the city had substituted block
thing, is apt to have an amicable set
Element out of the courts, after all.
At the meeting of Council Wednes-
day night the statement was made that
a party was willing to buy the bricks
from the city at the cost, letting the
city out even on the transaction. City
Attorney Sheppard stated that care
full examination of the minutes failed
to show any official act binding Mr.
Wallis to take the brick, or any propo-
sition from Mr.. Wallis to take them
off the city's hands. In his opinion
the city would stand a poor chance in
lawsuit of forcing Mr.. Wallis tc
take them. Council then decided to in
struct the Streets Committee to ac.
cept the offer for the bricks and close
the matter up.

LITTLE ONES AT HOSPITAL
RECOVER FROM FEVER.
Brooks Children Have Returned TO
Their Home.

The five little children from Sumter
county, who for a month past have
been cared for at the Americas Hos
pital while very ill with typhoid fever
have regained their health and gone
home. OF the five little ones thus
cared for, three were taken as char
ity patients, while the expenses of two
the little Brooks children, were borne
voluntarily by Mr. Crawford Wheat
ley and their little lives doubtless
saved thereby, as three members OF
the family, residing in the country
had recently died of fever when Mr..
Wheatley went to the rescue and
brought the two surviving little ones,
already stricken, to the hospital here
for nursing and treatment.

on favorably by the people at the same

This action was ordered by Council
at its meeting on Wednesday night
Alderman Allen called attention tt
the fact that the city Is paying inter
est on 1000, borrowed from the loca
banks for the Agricultural College
and the bonds were lying unsold. He
stated that the Bond Commission were
willing, as he understood it, to take
the entire issue at par, and held thai
they should be sold, the city's in
debtedness to the banks paid and the
interest saved.
Council took this view of the mat
ter and ordered the Finance Commit

w. Bealer, the most popular divine who

dered his resignation as pastor of the First

press themselves on the subject.
Mr.. Bealer came here six years ago. and
in the six years he has endeared himself
to the entire community. His work in
and out of the pulpit for the good Of the
community has been most marked. and he
leaves behind him an enduring record OF
things accomplished of which any man
has a right to feel proud.
When he took this church 1t had a MEM
bership Of about $50. Now II has over $50.
The property has been greatly improved,
and the church strengthened in every
wav
The keen regret and great regard of all
brownsville will follow him to his new
home at Murfreesboro. His resignation
became effective on November 1.

Free Trial of Stock Tonnes

There is really no secret about stock
tonics-neither about their ingredients
nor their effects on live stock. There is
also no doubt about the usefulness of
stock tonics. Their good effects are as
certain as are the nutrient action of
foods. In fact the benefits of rightly
compounded tonic are more certain than
that of food.
Feed sometimes nourishes and some
times doesn't. 1t depends altogether on
the condition organs of digestion assim-
ilation.
But a good tonic, used as intended, al
ways acts with a stimulating and restora
tive effect on the functions that make
nutrition possible.
The Wilbur Stock Food company offers
to demonstrate the certainty of the bene-
fits of their stock tonic in every case, by
giving away, in locations where they
have no agent, a 25-pound pail to any
stock owner who will ask for it, accom-
panying the request by a statement OF
the number Of head of stock he owns.
They have been making this stock
tonic for Is years, and know absolutely
what it will do. They run no risk in CIV
ing away the Is pounds, as they are GER
tain II will be it's own best solicitor in
the hands of the intelligent stock owner.
Every keeper of live stock ought to
take advantage of the offer for his own
satisfaction and profit. Write the Wilbur
Stock Food company, 73S Huron street,
Milwaukee, Wis, stating the number OF
hogs, cattle and horses you own, or fill
out the coupon attached to the compa-
ny's advertising and send it with request
for a pail Of stock tonic which will be
sent promptly without any charge.

alone; not counting the high price for
the staple.
AS the south grows wiser II will not
sell cotton seed meal to other sections,
but will raise and fatten cows, and thus
get the real value of the product.
In the great corn sections of the west
farmers do not sell their corn, but have
learned to fatten cattle and they get
several times the value of the grain In
the high price for beef and hides.
The greatest corn raiser In the state
of Missouri told me he never sold corn,
as a money maker, but he fattened cattle
with the grain and trebled its value.
When 1 look at the worn and gashed
farm lands In my section, actually i'm
poverished by poor cultivation, II makes
me sorry to see the lack Of thrift, and
the curse Of laziness.
The cotton seed turned into meal will
fatten cows in winter and the pastures
will keep them up the whole summer long,
but these farmers sell the seed to the
ginner at his own price, and never I'M
derstand they are Saving at the spigot
and wasting at the bung."
1t is ignorance which is keeping our
people so poor. They don't think.
know of productive farms which have
been neglected all this year. while the
strong help went off to work in the mines
and left the crop to inexperienced ones.
mostly children, and then they wonder
why their crop is so short, etc. Unless
there is a new leaf turned over in farm
ing and more judgment used, we will grow
poorer every year.
