The Scalp
The Latest Explanation Is That
Microbes Cause Badness.

Professor Unna, of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, of Paris,
France, share the honor of having dis
covered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through a
few weeks work Of these hair mi
crobes, but is the result OF conditions
brought about by their presence. Bald
ness may not occur until years after
the microbes began work, but it is
certain to come sooner or later.
The microbes cut off the blood sup
ply. They feed on the fatty matter
about the roots of the hair through
which the blood is absorbed. Finally
the fatty matter is consumed, the food
supply of the hair is gone, and it
starves and finally dies.
Resorcin is one of the most effect
i've germ destroyers ever discovered.
Beta Naphthol is most powerful, yet
absolutely safe germicide and anti
septic, which prevents development OF
germ matter, and creates a clean.
healthy condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a coloring
matter or dye, is an ingredient we'll
established for its power to restore
natural color to human hair when loss
of color has been caused by disease.
Borax, because of it's well-defined
softening and cleansing properties, is
most useful in the treatment of scalp
and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as
a stimulant to the hair bulbs, and has
a soothing, healing and nourishing in.
huence. Alcohol is indispensable in
medicine because of it's antiseptic.
stimulating and preservative qualities.
We want every one who has scalp
or hair trouble to try Rexall '93" Hair
Tonic, which contains all these ingred-
tents. If 1t does not give you complete
satisfaction in every particular we
will return every penny you paid us
for it, for the mere asking and without
question or formality.
Of course you understand that when
we say that Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic |
will grow hair we do not refer to
cases where the roots are entirely
lead, the pores of the scalp closed,
and the head has the shiny appear
ance of billiard ball. In cases like
his there is no hope. In all other
cases of badness Rexall 1913" Hair
Tonic will grow hair, or cost the user
nothing. Two sizes, so cents and 81.

Interesting Figures.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 10.--Impor-
tations of hides and skins in the year
which ends with the present month
will aggregate nearly 500 100000 and
rank second in value in the list OF
articles or groups of articles import
ed. The value of the hides and skins
imported in the ten months ending
with October, 1909, is, in round terms,
$S2,000,000, and should this average
be maintained in the November and
December figures, the total value of
this class of merchandise imported
would aggregate practically 100000
900, while the single item Of impor-
tation likely to show greater value
$S4,OO0,0OO worth i'm
ported from foreign countries in the
ten months ending with October to
say nothing of the $56,0OO,OOO worth
coming from Hawaii and Porto Rico
during the same period, but not
classed under imports, since Hawaii
and Porto Rico are now customs dis.
tricts of the United States.
This total of practically 500, 900, 900
worth Of imports Of hides and skins
which the figures of the calendar year
1909 will show will exceed many mil
lions those of any earlier year.

Value of Goat Skins.

One especially interesting feature
of this development in the importa-
ton of hides and skins is found in the
fact that nearly one-third of the valUe
of this large total consists of goat
skins. The value of goat skins i'm
ported in 1909 will alone amount to
about $3O,0OO,O0O out of the approx
mately $1OO,OOO,OOO representing the
grand total of imported hides and
skins of all kinds. Goat skins form,
in fact, larger proportion of the total
value of hides and skins imported dur
ing the last ten years than does any
other single class, and aggregated
about 1854 100000 out of a total value
of 1857, 100000 worth of all hides and
skins imported during that period.

1lA AtOM HOUSE
Some Suggestions Which Might Be
Used to Advantage by Prospec-
tive Home Builders.

1t is no small task even for a good
engineer to arrange the lighting of an
ordinary six-room house. OF course
when lighting is being considered and
figured on, such little items as paint
and wall paper make great differ
ence in the general results. In a gen.
eral way 1t is good rule to use light
tints for both paper and paint because
they reflect the light and consequently
1t does not require so many lamps or
so much electricity to properly light
the house. Dark wall paper absorbs
the light and should be avoided, as il
is impossible to get a good lighting
effect with dark tints.
In laying out the plans for the fol-
lowing rooms it is to be understood
that the walls and ceilings are tinted
a light yellow or light buff and that
the woodwork is only a shade or two
darker.
Porch light, located directly above
the front door, with switch in vesti-
bule. An eight candle-power lamp
is sufficient.
Reception room, two ornamental
ceiling lamp fixtures for Tungsten
thirty-two candle-power lamps; con-
trolled by button switch on the recep-
ton room side of vestibule hall, and
also from the head Of the stairs. This
arrangement is most convenient.
Living room, planned for two light
ing effects. Five light Tungsten cell.
ing fixtures controlled from point near
reception room entrance. This fixture
may be installed so that a push of
the button throws on one, two, three
or five of the lights. A reading lamp
is also provided for the table.
Dining room is lighted with an or.
namental pendant lamp hanging low
from the ceiling. The lamp should be
about forty candle-power, chain pull
socket.
Kitchen lighting is obtained from a
single ceiling lamp switched on or off
from wall near dining room entrance.
Basement lighting should always be
controlled from head of stairs with an
Indicating switch, enabling one to turn
light on before going down stairs and
to turn it out after returning to the

Highest Figures.

The highest figures in value of i'm
portations of hides and skins in any
prior year was $S4,OOO,OOO worth in
1906, the average during the past dec
ade having been but $67,OOO,OOO worth.
The quantity imported during the year
will exceed 5OO,000,0OO pounds, while
on no earlier occasion has the total
reached the 100000 900 line, the high
est figure being in 1906, 399,0OO,O0O
Thus in quantity and value the impor-
tations of 1909 will be approximately
20 per cent in excess of those of the
previous highest record year, 1906.
The average monthly importation of
hides and cattle in the period since
the new tariff act went into effect,
August 5, 1909, has been 24,500,0O0
pounds, against about 100000 in the
seven months Immediately preceding
that date.
The growth of importation of hides
and skins into the United States, an
agricultural country, has been
marked feature of the import trade.
The value of hides and skins import
d in the fiscal year 1890 was in round
terms, $22,OOO,OOO; in 1900, $5S,OOO,OOO,
and in the calendar year 1909 will, as
above indicated, be approximately
$l0o,O00,O0O, while the quantity i'm
ported, which in the calendar year
1900 was but 3O7,0OO,OOO pounds, will
in 1909 exceed 5OO,OOO,OOO.

controlled from the head of the stairs.
Bedroom lighting should be con-
trolled from a point very near the
entrance. Wall brackets are used,
their position varying with the style
of furniture used.
The bath room should be lighted
with a wall lamp on each side of the
mirror. Suitable wall sockets for such
heating devices as the shaving mug,
water heater, massage machine and
luminous radiator to be provided.
Small Tungsten lamps are suitable for
all the upstairs lighting.

BLOOD

We live by our blood, and on
Il. We thrive or starve, as our
blood Is rich or poor. There Is
nothing else to live on or by.
When strength Is full and
spirits high we are being re-
freshed-b0ne, muscle and
brain, In body and mind with
continual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak in low spirits, no
cheer, no spring, when rest Is
not rest and sleep Is not sleep,
we are starved; our blood Is
poor; there Is little nutriment
in it.
Back of the blood Is food,
to keep the blood rich. When
Il fails, take
