Olaton'S Young Hero.

To Master Beckham Stone, the S
year old son OF foreman John Stone,
is given the credit of having saved
at least one life, that of young Stan
ley Steaasman, aged about two years,
who fell into the water and would
have drowned but for the quick and
thoughtful work Of his playmate
Since the recent rains, the water at
this place is very high, and late Tues
day afternoon several children had
gone to the water mill to watch the
logs and timbers floating down the
creek when little Stanley fell into
the water, but fortunately the cur
rent was not swift enough to carry
him away. The heroic work OF this
playmate saved the child from death
in the muddy waters.

HELPFUL HINTS ON HAIR
HEALTH.
Scalp and Hair Troubles Are
Generally Caused by
CareIessness.

Dandruff is a contagious disease
caused by a microbe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use a comb or
brush belonging to someone else. No
matter how clearly the owner may be,
these articles may be infected with
microbes, which will infect your scalp.
II is far easier to catch hair microbes
than it is to get rid of them, and
single stroke of an infected comb
or brush often produces the cause of
badness. Never try on anybody elses
hat for the reason that many hat
band is a nesting PLACE for microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with
dandruff itching scalp, falling hair
OF badness, We have remedy which
we positively know will cure these
troubles, and we are so sure of this
that we offer it to YOU with the un-
derstanding that it will cost you
nothing for the trial if it does not
produce the results we claim. This
remedy is called Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic. 1t is the most scientific rem
edies for all scalp and hair troubles,
and we know OF nothing else that
equals it for effectiveness. We know
this because Of the result it has pro-
duced in hundreds Of cases.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will posi-

store natural color when its loss has
been brought about by disease, and
make the hair naturally silky, soft
ard glossy. 1t does this because it
stimulates the hair follicles, removes
dundruff, destroys the germ matter,
and brings about free, healthy cir
culatiCn of blood which rourishCs the
hair roots, causing them to tighten
and grow new hair. We want every
body in Hartford who has any troub-
lie with hair or scalp TO know that
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is the best
hair tonic and restorative in exist
ence. and no one should scott at or
doubt this statement until they have
put our claims a fair test, with the
understanding that they pay us moth
