CAN'T LOSE HAIR
Twenty Years From Today Bald
Headed Man viii Be An Unusual
Sight.

One of the most prominent drug
gists of America made a statement a
few weeks ago which has caused a
great deal of discussion among scien-
lists in the medical press.
He said: IF the new hair grower,
Partisan Sage, increases its sales as
it has during the past year, Il will be
used by nearly every man, woman and
child in America within eight years"
And when Partisan Sage is used
almost universally, dandruii will dis
appear and with its departure bald
ness, itching scalp, splitting hair and
all scalp diseases will follow and 20
years from nbw baldhead will be a
rarity"
There is only one way to cure dan
druff and that is to kill the germs.
There is only one hair preparation
that will kill the germs and that is
Partisan Sage
This unusual hair restorer with its
record of thousands of cures will grow
hair on any head where there is any
life left; it is guaranteed by VIM. L.
Gokay to cure dandruff, stop falling
hair and itching scalp in two weeks
or money back.
IT is the most pleasant and inyigora-
ting tonic, is not sticky or greasy and
is used extensively by ladies of re-
finement, who desire TO have and to
keep their hair soft, lustrous and lux
uriant.
Only so cents for a large bottle at
VIM. l.. Gokay's and leading druggists
everywhere, and remember when you
buy bottle of Partisan Sage, you get
more for 80 cents than the makers
of ordinary tonics give you.

WOULD RELEASE SANDY MILLER
c. II. Miller Says Drink Is Responsible

To the Editor of the Banner

to the case of Sandy Miller now in

he has been previously afflicted with
insanity. And what was the cause
of it, Nothing but liquor. or course

as | wish he were. For the love of
liquor he goes into saloon for
drink andtthere he tarries. He feels
himself a smart man and he gets in
to trouble with some one. 1t seems
that he has no control of his tastes
The only way, as | look at it, to man.

ces where intoxicating liquors are
sold. Then he will keep out of such
places. This is the only way that he
can be protected from himself. /

liquor he came back all right.
Now, l think if Sandy was let out
he wouldn't harm any one, but as it
is he is shut up away from all privil-
eyes with this same stimulan, in him.
It looks to me as though liquor is The
cause of his being insane again
through the blow he received on the
head in a saloon. Before tina. he had
an abscess In his ear. Through DR..
Ross he was relieved of that. Then
he goes to drinking again, and. as

is hit on the head in a saloon. He
then went home with battered and
bruised head and returned on the

into any difficulty. Let those persons

LIONS NEARLY
KILLED WOMAN
Ernesteen LaRose, the Lion Train

Thigh Torn by Feroc-
ious Beast.
LIGHTS ExTINGUIsHED
The Trainer Kept Her Nerve However
and With Her Whip and ProdS
Kept the Beasts at
Distance.
LIGHTS ExTINGU1sHED

A nerve of steel coupled with the
disciplined promptness of attendants
saved Erhesteen LaRose from being
torn to pieces in the lions den at the
Parker wild animal arena on Fourth
street Tuesday night The young wom-
an is one of the trainers of jungle
specimens with tne Parker shows, and
is one of only two or three female
beast subjugators in the business.
She had entered the den and had
about half finished her act, which is
the GROWING feature of the jungle
exhibitions, when the electric light
plant broke down, leaving the tent in
absolute darkness. The stygian black
ness seemed to brighten the lions with
which she was performing and in an
instant they rushed toward her.
Prince, the most ferocious of the col
lection thrust out an ugly paw, rip
ping Miss La Roses dress down the
side and inflicting long flesh wound
in the thigh.
Not deserted by her nerve of steel,
which a woman must have to perform
such feats with feroicous beasts, she
did not lose a second in frightening
the lions into subsection with her
whip and a steel pointed prod which
she jabbed viciously into the face and
breast of Prince
The excitement came on without
even a suggestion of warning, and It
came on SO quikcly that the people in
the audience were terror stricken and
started to rush from the tent
Through the presence of mind of
one of the trainers a strong gasoline
light was fastened to the den where
the woman was battling with the fe-
rocious Prince. The light seemed to
aid her in throwing the beasts into
fear, and they skunk to the opposite
corner of the den.
Calming assurances on the part of
the managers and attendants allayed
the fears of those WHO had not yet left
the arena, and the show proceeded
without further mishap Miss La

more than a scratch, but she surely

ly short time until the house will be
ready for occupancy
When the rapid growth in school
population of the district compelled
the erection of second school build
ing the board decided the structure
should be made one of the best rural
buildings of it's kind in this section
In order to make it freproof the
school authorities decided upon
cement blocks for the superstructure
and a non-inflammable interior finish,
Everything about the premises will be
made as nearly fire proof as it Is pos
sible to build and when completed the
place promises to excel all others
hereabouts in point of beauty and
durability.
