AN EXPERIMENT IN

story OF an experiment in human

DIR. Henry Head, physician to the
London Hospital, was the subject
OF the experiment., which extended
over a period OF five years, and its
object was the determination OF

Does Farming Pay-Or What?

Editor Democrat:
l hope you will excuse me for asking
space in your paper, but my attention
was called to letter of one Chas. L.
Case in your paper of Nov. l6, 1909.
And while NO answer is required or ex-
pected, | can not let this opportunity
pass without expressing my feelings as
to that 1916 bushels of good merchant
able potatoes raised on one acre Of
ground" by Mr.. Case-who / suppose is
one of those sports from New York who
is either sugar importer, or a coupon
clipper from Wall Street, or maybe
president Of some insurance company,
who poses as an agriculturist.
Now, Mr.. Editor, an agriculturist is q
man who gets his money in the city by
some such method as l have outlined
above, and spends it in the country rails
ing $40 bushels Of potatoes per acre. A
farmer is a man who gets his money by
the sweat of his brow in the country,
and spends it in the city.
Now am a poor farmer over in An
droscoggin County, with thousands of
others in the same class, work early and
late and have to dodge the tax collector
or hire money to pay up before the farm
is advertised. What we want to know is
this, does it pay to raise $40 bushels OF
potatoes on one acre Of ground? And we
should like to see the figures.
Evidently this sport from New York
was much pleased with his crop, al
though it may have cost him more than
he can get for it now that 1t is harvest
ed. Let him come out with the figures
and show us poor cusses how it was
done. The question was mentioned near
the close of his article, "Does farming
psy?" And now let that sugar importer
or whoever he may be, come out and In
form us when he began farming, what
the farm cost, what Is the interest on
the investment, taxes, insurance, repairs,
cost Of operations on the farm, and what
he has to balance that account with, for
each year since he became farmer"
The question is not, Mr.. Editor, "Can
a city man operate farm?" but, Can
city man operate farm so as to make
that farm pay the bills?
| am certain that lots of farmers IN
my class would be much pleased to
ascertain how to make farming pay
Now had to kill horse this fall be
cause could not afford to winter bel
on the farm, and there are others also

Are Microbes
in Your Scalp?
Ii Has Been Proved that Microbes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger.
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
microbe causes badness. Their theory
has time and again been amply verified
through research experiments carried on
under the observation of eminent scien-
lists. This microbe lodges in the Sebum,
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 gradually takes on
shiny appearance. When this happens
there is no hope of the growth of hair
being revived.
Dandruff is contagious disease, which
is largely due to destructive microbe,
which when left to pursue its course
causes itching scalp, falling hair and
badness. Dandruff is caused by the
microbe affecting the glands which pro-
duce the sebaceous matter, which latter
then unuaturally dries up and scales of.
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 revitalize 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 Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will be
supplied free of all cost to the user if it
fails to do as we state.
1t will frequently restore gray and
faded hair to its original color, provid-
ing loss of color has been caused by
disease; yet it is in no sense dye.
Rexall 1903" Hair Tonic accomplishes
these results by making every hair root,
follicle and pigment gland strong and
active, and by stimulating natural flow
of coloring pigment throughout the hair
cells.
Rexall "9S" Hair Tonic Is entirely free
from grease or sediment, is exceedingly
pleasant to use and will not gum the
hair or permanently soil the clothing or
pillows.
We exact no obligations or promises
We simply ask you to give 1t thorough
trial and If not satisfied tell US and we
will refund the money you paid US for 1t.

Hyomei to Cure Catarrh.
Catarrh can never be cured by taking
medicines into the stomach nor BY
sprays, atomizers or douches.
Intelligent physicians have long ago
discarded such ideas and not one OF
them would be worth consideration
were it not for the fact that unscrupu-
lous persons prey upon the ignorance OF
the people in regard to new discoveries
Catarrh is caused by germs and just as
long as these germs thrive in the folds,
crevices, hooks and corners, of the
mucous membrane that line the nose,
throat and chest, just so long will you
have catarrh.
There is only one way to cure catarrh,
and that is to kill the germs.
There is only one remedy that will
kill the germs when it gets where the
germs are, and that is Hyomei.
