ivory Soap is t his
standard by which all

Some soap manufac-
turers claim that their
product is "as good'' or
"as pure" or "as cheap"
as Ivory.
Possibly it is. But
neither you nor any other
sensible woman will
bother with the "as

real Ivory Soap; not the
imitation kind.

Bald Heads
Not Wanted
Badness is Too Generally Con-
sidered Sign of Ad-
Yanced Age.

A bald-headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
a healthy head of hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an
indication of age. Many large corpora
tons have established an age limit,
and refuse to take men over 35 years
of age as new employees.
Almost Go per cent of bald-headed
people may regain a good head cf
healthy hair if they will follow our ad-
vice and accept our offer We have a
remedy that we positively guarantee
to grow hair on any head, unless the
roots of the hair are entirely dead,
their follicles closed, and the scalp has
become glazed and shiny. We want
people to try this remedy at our risk,
with the distinct understanding that
unless it does exactly what we claim
it will and gives satisfaction in every
respect, we shall make no charge for
the remedy used during the trial.
We know exactly what we are talk
ing about. and with this offer back of
our statements no one should scoff,
doubt our word or hesitate to put our
remedy to an actual test
We want every one suffering from
any scalp or hair trouble, dandruff,
falling hair or badness, to try our
ReXall "93" Hair Tonic. We want
them to use it regularly-say until
three bottles have been used-and if
it does not eradicate dandruff, cleanse
and refresh the scalp, tighten the hair
in its roots, and grow new hair, we
will return eryscent paid us for the
remedy for the mere asking. There
is no formality expected and we exact
no obligation from the user whatever.
We are established right here where
you live, and make this offer with 2
full understanding that our business
success entirely depends upon the sort
of treatment we accord our customers,
and we would not dare make the above
offer except that we are certain that
we can substantiate it in every par
ticula- Rexall "93'' Hair Tonic comes
in two sizes, so cents and SI.00. Re-

Road Conducts Experiments Which
Officials Say Determines
Question.

The operating officials of the NIL
waukee railroad have completed an
experiment which seems to remove all
doubt regarding the entire practicable
ity of all steel cars for general passen-
ger service on steNm roads. The ex-
pertinent was conducted by A. J. Earl
ing, president of the road, who was
ACCOMPANIED by nearly every execu-
tive member of his operating staff.
In order to settle many mooted ques-
lions regarding the kind of service all
steel Pullman cars would give Mr..
Earring made 24-hour run with spe'
cial train in which were four new
cars Of this type. The result of the
trip was eminently satisfactory and 1t
caused the Milwaukee road to decide
to use nothing but all steel cars in the
future. Accordingly as fast as old
equipment wears out and new is need
ed cars which are all steel, both under.
frame and superstructure, will be or
dered.

In much the same position as the
Three-Eye was when it attempted to

lies the chance of Cedar Rapids to get

Down in the southern end of this

NEW YORK.

Improvement is more manifest in
general trade and industry this week,
but there is still present the feeling
of conservatism hitherto noted, which
makes for small and frequent, rather
than heavy individual sales. Develop
ments have been largely favorable,
chief among these the increased ar
rivals of buyers in most markets, a
greater disposition to take hold for
fall and spring delivery, very favor
able government crop report, the con-
tinuance of the marked strength in
security markets, the growing firm
ness of the time money market.
The railroad situation is improving
and idle cars are disappearing on the
western Zines as the winter wheat
movement enlarges. Industries are
active, iron and steel leading, with
railroads reported buying freely of
rails, cars and locomotives.
Collections show a little improve
ment, but as yet do not reflect the in
fluence of new crop marketing posi-
bly, because of the farmers being busi-
ly engaged Building is active and
