EXTRAORDINARY HAIR TONIC
1T Won't Grow Hair on Bald Heads.

Unlike all other hair restorers,
Partisan Sage won't grow hair on
bald heads. Neither will it grow
hair on china eggs, door knobs or
hitching posts.
One claim is about as sensible as
the other.
If your head is bald and you want
to cover it with hair, get wig
Partisan Sage. the quick-acting
hair rejuvenator, is of no use to bald
headed people; but for people who
have thin hair, falling hair and dan
druff, and where the bald spot is
just beginning to show, there is moth
ing in this wide world that will give
such satisfactory results as Partisan
Sage
Partisan Sage is guaranteed by the
Harper House pharmacy to drive out
dandruff and stop falling hair in two
weeks, or money back. 1t stops itch
ing scalp in two days, and keeps the
scalp cool and free from odors in
warm weather.
There is nothing on earth that will
so quickly turn dull, faded hair into
lustrous and luxuriant hair as Paris
ian Sage.
Try a bottle of Partisan Sage at
the Harper House pharmacy's risk.
Use it for a week and you will have
no use for the ordinary tonics. Pa
risian Sage is delightfully."- perfumed,
free from grease and sickness and
a large bottle costs but so cents The
girl with the auburn hair is on every
bottle.

as a fertilizer unless the land is rich

Hard Wood ASHES.

Please give some time the best
method Of utilizing hard wood ashes.

satisfactory results.-S. w. A, Bath
County, Virginia.
Hard wood ashes are best applied
alone, and are a valuable fertilizer
for any crop, and especially for those
calling largely for potash, which is
the principal fertilizing ingredient
found in them. The reason why they
are best applied alone is that the
ashes have a large content Of lime in
them and when used with either hen
manure or farmyard manure, both OF
which are mainly heterogeneous fertil-
izers. has tendency to set the nitro
gen free and thus cause loss OF II.
When used with acid phosphate the
lime has a tendency to revert the
phosphoric acid and make II less read

manure, the two should not be mixed
until ready to apply the same, and
then the mixing in the soil takes care

the majority, are jewellers in towns

country among the birds, and the
flowers, to enjoy the shade OF the

they want to enjoy fresh eggs, fresh
