Any Hair Trouble.

Read This !:

People might as we'll look facts in the
face and not be humbugged any longer by
dangerous and worthless preparations for
the hair. The vital point to remember is
this: Dandruff is the direct cause of nearly
every case of badness, and is also the
principal cause of many other ailments of
the hair and scalp. The one thing needed
above all other things to overcome dan
druff and give the hair the gloss of health
is cleanliness. You have got to clean the
scalp of scales and dandruff, and you have
got to keep the pores of your scalp open,
before you can hope to have beautiful hair.
From the sebaceous glands on your head
there constantly comes an oily secretion to
moisten the scalp and give gloss to the
hair. Floating in the air are millions of
fine particles of dust dirt and disease
germs. These settle upon the head, mix
with the oily secretion, and in very short
time dandruff and scales are formed. These
scales stop up the pores, so that the hair
roots are not nourished as they should be-
And then the hair becomes sick. dies and
falls out. Some people allow all this dirt
and disease and filth to accumulate on
their heads for weeks or months without

washing the scalp and hair. Everybody's
head and hair ought to be washed at least
once week. no matter what anybody else
tells you. But don't make the, mistake of
using common soaps and shampoos. Com
mon soaps contain too much alkali, and
they leave the hair dry and harsh, and they
do not leave the scalp in healthy condi-

tually do more harm than good. on should
use the one thing in all this world whichis
above suspicion and above criticism, and
that is Birt's Head Wash 1t is made of
Refined Soap, Cochin Cocoanut Oil, White
of Eggs, Glycerin and Salicylic Acid This
formula is SO generally recognized as
proper that you are invited to ask any
physician you know what he thinks about
it. Birt's Head Wash doesn't simply take
off the dirt, dandruff, germs and microbes,
but it leaves the scalp soft and moist and
the hair fine and glossy. The first time you
use Birt's Head Wash you can see an i'm
provement in your hair, and its regular use
will help to completely overcome dandruff.
You will be astonished how many impuri-
ties will be found in your hea and hair,
because nothing takes them out like Birt's
Head Wash. Price so cents jar.

DOCTORS HELP SLATER.
Say Hammer Found in His Rooms Was
Not Instrument of Murder.

Edinburg, May 6.-The trial in this
city of Oscar Slater, alias Otto Sands,
charged with the murder in Glasgow
of Miss Marian Gilchrist, 50 years OF
age, entered today upon its concluding
stage.
Slater was extradited from New
York last February. The efforts of the
defence have been devoted largely to
proving an alibi. Doctors testified that
the hammer found in Slater's belong
ings in New York showed no traces OF
blood and could have hardly cause
Miss Gilchrist's injuries as claimed by
the prosecution. Slater himself did not
enter the witness box. The lord advo-
cate in addressing the jury for the
prosecution, contended that the evil
dence proved clearly that Slater was
the murderer.
