GROWS HAIR ON BALD HEADS
Bald Headed People May Get a New
Chance in Life.

In these days when youth is the
moving factor in business; when a
man makes his mark at thirty-five
and is ready to retire at forty-fve;
when business houses pension the
men we call middle aged" rather
than allow his tagging influence to
intrude upon the commercial rush,
bald head is almost fatal to any
mans hopes. The following must
therefore prove interesting to pea
pie who are losing thei" hair or who
are bald.
Resorcin is one Of the latest and
most effective germ killers discover
cd by science, and in connection with
Beta Napthol, which is both germici
dial and antiseptic, a combination is
formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair Of it's nutriment,
and also creates clean and healthy
condition of the scalp, which prevents
the development of new germs.
Pilocarpin is well known agent
for restoring the hair to it's natural
color, where the loss of color has
been due to a disease of the scalp
Yet, it is not a coloring matter or
dye
This combination Of curatives mix
ed with alcohol as a stimulant per-
fects the most effective remedy for
hair and scalp troubles
The famous Rexall "93" Hair Ton
ic is chiefly composed of Resorcin.
Beta Napthol and Pilocarpin. 1t

Where the head is already bare, it
enters the follicles, revitalizes the
roots, supplies nourishment and
stimulates a new growth.

where badness has been of such

CARNEGIE AND PEACE.

This is Mr.. Carnegie'S latest recon-
mendation to the Peace society, Of
which he is president
Britain and America to agree as
follows:
america will defend against attack
the British possessions upon the At
lantic, including the islands in the
south.
Britain will defend against attack
the American coast upon the Pacific
and Hawaii and the Philippines.
''This agreement to terminate at the
end Of five years notice, given by
either party"
A pretty scheme on paper, but re-
pugnant to Washington's advice and
all the practice based thereon. Great
Britain has an alliance with Japan
embracing possible duty in the Pacific.
We have none with anybody, and can
make none. Maybe we can continue
to prosper without one. At any rate
Mr. Carnegie's proposition is now out
of order.

REVISING THE TARIFF.

Probably a majority of the people
of the United States are at sea IN
the matter of tariff revision. Not be-
ing able to fathom the mysteries of
tariff schedules, the public merely
breathes with Shakespeare
"If it were done when t is done, then
t were well
1t were done quickly"
The last national platform of the
republican party declared for tariff
revision, although the issue was hard
ly a live one; it cut no figure in the
campaign. But the necessity of rails
ing many millions of dollars to pay
the huge deficit of the Roosevelt adj
ministration is incontrovertible. The
country is heavily in debt and the
only feasible way out of the difficulty
is in readjusting the tariff. President
Roosevelt recommended revision, and
a committee of congress has been
at work for several months trying to
formulate a measure which would
solve the problem. The result OF
this investigation is the Payne bill
now before congress in special ses-
embcdies the best thought and wisest
craftsmanship of the congressional
tariff experts.
Reports from Washington declare
that certain Western statesmen have
"made a careful examination" of the
Payne bill without being able to un-
derstand it fully. This is not at al
Siy1er in, ~ ha foa hot
The newer representatives in congress
usually don't understand much about
the technical features of public bust
ness. But this ignorance does not pre-
vent the adolescent statesman from
talking sagely about "maximums,
'minimums," reciprocity" and Other
tariff terms
One public demand that did mucl
to influence the republican leaders il
favor of revision was that of news.
paper publishers for a lower schedul,
on WOOD pulp and print paper. The
Payne bill has dealt with this delicate
subject in a manner that will prob
ably bring the relief sought. 1t il
unfortunate that the republican plar
of a general tariff revision must b.
complicated by the necessity of rails
ing money to wipe out a defici
caused by a republican president. Blu
if the tariff must be revised, tn
revision should not be delayed. Presi
dent Taft in his inaugural address EN-
phasized the necessity of prompt &C
ton in order that the great industrie
of the country could resume opera

basis. Until the new tariff schedule
are adopted many great business en-
terpriSes are almost at a standstill.

Evening
Chit.Chat
byPATRIcIAvANPATTEN

That women can prove OF great help
in bringing about civic reform even
without having the power of ballot has
been notably proven in New York. Bos-
ton, and Chicago.
In New York it was a woman, Mrs.
Isaac Rice, who started the Noise
Crusade" Her own home on Riverside
Drive was ruined as a residence by the
unearthly whistling and screaming Of
the many tugboats on the Hudson. She
set about to interest other women in
their suppression; the help of the
school children was enlisted. AS re-
suit of much writing and interviewing
of aldermen and city inspectors, many
mated from the busy city of New Yor.
Quiet lines" were established around
the hospitals SO that sick babies and
patients critically i'll might not be dis
turbed by rumbling wagons and noisy
street-venders. In bringing about this
h-needed reform, Mrs. Rice was
nicknamed 'The Apostle of Silence"
In Chicago the women of the suburb
Of Kenwood have recently arisen en-
masse to protest against the avalanche
of soft coal smoke that hourly descends
from the Illinois Central railroad, ruin
ing the cleanliness and health of their
homes and lawns. They demanded the
identification of the road and by wag-
ing a persistent fight have helped to
win the day.
In Boston the crusade for "beautify-
ing of back yards and fences" was
started by women and most success
fully carried out.
In Des Moines, Iowa, the garbage pail
system of disposing of refuse advocat-
ed by women has been adopted by civic
law.
1t is the woman with an intelligent
interest for the best good of the COM
munity at heart that will work benefit
in reforms Whether she holds the bal
lot in her hand or not matters little
so long as she can arouse and influence
public brain and heart back of it.

q bridge at Kennewick, which would
enable it to reach the south bank OF
the Columbia at point of no strategic
value to any other than q Hartman
line. says the Oregonian. The Nor1n
Coast at its terminals in Spokane
would. of course, come into direct
oomnetition with the o. r. & N. line
already in operation. Between Spo-
kane and Kennewick, however, 1t VIII
fan a very rich country in which the
North Bank road is already admlrapiy
located, and it will also give the Har-
r;man system a route between Port
land and Spokane which, in grades
curves and mileage, will make IL a
much more formidable competitor LOT
the North Bank line than the .. X. q
MS Spokane line ever can be.
There is a larger amount OF rail-
road building under construction In
the Pacific Northwest than at any pre-
vious period in the history of the
country. With its completion, Port
land will have access to much great
er trade territory than can be reached
from any other port in the Pacinc
Northwest. The building of the North
Bank road, the North Coast road, the
Snake river branch of the Q. X. q n.
the Wallowa extension of the 0. X. q
NJ. the Oregon Electric. and the two
lines now under construction to Tllla-
nook and Nehalem will almost double
the railroad mileage in the territory
served by Portland. The Milwaukee
road and the Hartman extension to
Puget Sound, together with the large
amount of electric road built in WASH
ington WILL when completed, cores
pondingly increase the mileage in
Washington.
That there is ample business for all
of these new roads and extensions IS
quite plain Aside from the projects
which were undertaken in the past two
years, very little railroad building has
been done in either Oregon or Wash
ington in the past decade. The roads
that were completed and were doing
business ten years ago were all pay
ing handsome dividends, and at times
were working UP to the limit OF their
capacity. Meanwhile, population
wealth and the production of railroad
traffic have increased enormously. In
that time the grain crops Of the two
states have nearly doubled, the lumber
business has increased in similar ratio
and the number of passengers riding
on railroad trains has about doubled
AS result of this development every
mile of new road built in the Pacific
Northwest will find awaiting it fully
as much traffic as was available fol
the railroads which entered the field
ten to twenty years ago, and vastly
more than was obtainable when the
first railroads were built into the coun-
try. Through all of this vast terri
tory lying north of the Columbia ano
Snake rivers where railroad building
is most active, Portland is on better
than even terms with any other coast
port, and in that vast empire SOUTH
of the Columbia and Snake this city
stands alone in her glory as the com
mercial and financial metropolis. L
is by reason of this matchlesS STRAIT
egic position at the foot of the down
hill haul that the matter of becoming 9
| 100000 city is not serious one, MOI
will it be long before that figure is
reached and passed.
