Snap Judgment on Football.

Has not the Board Of Education been
little quick on the trigger in aboiishing
football in the public schools3 An attempt
to modify the game for young players
might at least have been made before
taking so drastic an action. There are ovi-
dences Of snap Judgment In the sweeping
ofIhand condemnation Of a game which.
whatever its faults, has the support OF
many eminent educational authorities as
a sport and 10 which only a minority OF
public opinion opposes serious objections.
Football, as DR. Woodrow Wilson says,
is too fine a game to be abolished. For
that matter, it never can be; it nils too

Are Microbes
in Your Scalp?
IL Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unna, OF Hamburg, Ger
many. ami DIR. Sabourand, the lead
ing French dermatologist, discovered
that a microbe causes badness. Their
theory has time and again been
amply verified through research ex-
periments carried on under the OBJ
servation of eminent scientists. This
microbe lodges in the Sebun, which
is the natural hair oil, and when
permitted to flourish II destroys the
hair follicles and in time the pores
entirely close, and the scalp grad
ually takes on a shiny appearance.
When this happens there is no hope
of the growth of hair being revived.
Dandruff is a contagious disease,
which is largely due to a destructive
mlerobe, which when left to pursue
its course causes itching scalp, fall
ing hair and badness. Dandruff is
caused by the microbe affecting the
glands which produce the sebaceous
matter. which latter then unnaturally
dries up and scales OF.
We have a remedy which will. We
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex-
terminate the mlcrobe. promote good
circulation in the scalp aud around
the hair roots. tighten and revitalize
the hair roots and overcome bald
ness, 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 II it fails to do as
We state.
Il will frequently restore gray and
faded hair TO its original color, pro-
yidlng the loss OF color has been
caused BY disease; yet IL is in no
sense a dye. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
accomplishes these results by making
every hair root, follicle and pigment
gland strong and active, and by
stimulating a natural flow OF color
ing pigment throughout the hair
cells.
Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic is entirely,
free from grease or sediment. Is ex-
ceedingly pleasant to use and will
not gum the hair or permanently
soil the clothing or pillows.
We exact no obligations or prom
ises-we simply ask YOU to give IL a
thorough trial and II not satisfied tell
us and we will refund the money
you paid us for IT, Two sizes, prices
so cents and Sl.OO. Remember you
can obtain II in Rochester only at

NEAR BEER MAKERS
MUST PAY HIGH TAN
Decided Officially That They Arc
Liable for 81 800 Year.

Nashville. Tenn. oct. Sit has
been officially decided that near
beer dealers here are liable for a
tax OF $1,000 per year each. the

HOW TO CURE SKIN DISEASES

This is the question that has baf-
fled the medical profession for CEN
turtles. A great many medicines
have been exploited for the cure OF
skin diseases without much success.
Most of these remedies were salves
or greasy lotions. While they might
give temporary relief they did not
have the power to destroy the germ
life that causes the disease. You
can now obtain from Mr.. w. ]. Gill
bert, the druggist, a clean. vegetable
liquid remedy for external use that
will give prompt relief and perman-
emily cure eczema and every form of
skin or scalp disease. This remedy,
which is known as ZEMO cures by
drawing to the surface of the skin,
and destroying the fern life that
causes the disease. 1t can be used
freely on infants. Mr.. w. J. Gil
bert says ZEMO gives the best salts
faction Of any medicine he has ever
sold for the treatment of all diseases
of the skin or scalp.

to believe that the pig crop will be

is we have been getting into this
