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

In these days when youth is the NOV
ing factor in business; when a man
makes his mark at thirty five and is
ready to retire at forty five; when bust
ness houses pension the man 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 peo-
Pile who are losing their hair OF who are
bald.
Resorcin is one of the latest and most
effective germ killers discovered by
science, and in connection with Beta
Napthol. which is both germicidal and
antiseptic, combination IL formed
which destroys the germs which rob the
hair of its nutriment, and also creates a
clean and healthy condition of the scalp,
which prevents the development of new
germs.
Pilocarpn is well known agent for
restoring the hair to Its natural color,
where the loss of color has been due to a
disease of the scaly. Yet, it is not colo.
ring matter or dye.
This combination of curatives mixed
with alcohol as stimuiant perfects the
most effective semedy for hair and scalp
troubles.
The famous Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is
chiefly of Resorcin, Beta Napthol and
Pilocarpin. Mt makes the scalp healthy,
nourishes the hair stimulates the folli-
cles. Where the head IS already bare, il
enters the follicles, revtalizes the roots,
supplies nourshment and stimulates "A
new growth.
We want you to try a few bottles of
ReXall "y3' Hair Tonic, on our personal
guarantee that the trial will not cost you
"a penny if it does not give you absolute

in this remedy and it should indisputably
demonstrate that we know what we are

The Grab" Bill.

The Vermont legislators have right
to fix the compensation of members OF
future sessions at rate in advance OF
that which has been paid for years. but
their action in boosting their own salaries
is indefensble. They were elected to
serve at SO day, and that is the only
rate that ought to be paid them. To
vote 500, 900 to $4,000 bonus to them
selves in the face of the probability of
state tax is the limit of legislative folly.
The above is taken from the Brattle'
boro Phoenix, and is point well taken.
Once upon a time when "all the world
was young" most men were willing to
belong to the body of lawmakers, DEEM
ing it an honor and a privilege to be
selected by their townsmen to do their
little part in framing the laws. This
work should be done by those who have
other than mercenary motive in seek
ing the preference.
theoretically, at least, man who has
ability enough to be eligible to represent
the people. should be able-snd willing
to make some sacrifice when he goes to
Montpelier.
1t should be considered more OF an
honor to be instrumental in sending a
good man to the Legislature than to be-
come the favored one and conduct ones
self as the mercenary advocate Of special
interests. Putting it another way, the
voter who drops his ballot in the box
favoring highminded citizen for office
holding is of more value than the self
seeker who seeks Office for what it can
do for him.
A perusal of the aye and nay vote on
the above question will show that the
preponderance of "heavy" men voted on
the nay side, scorning to be the means
of furthering grab bill. And these
things will be remembered.
