WOMEN'S BEAUTY
It Can Never Be Perfect Without
luxuriant Hair.

A head of luxuriant hair is sure to be
attractive. But nature has not crowned
every woman with glorious hair. Some
very lovable women she has treated
rather scantily in this respect
For instance there are tens of thou
sands of women in America today, who
have harsh, faded and lusterless hair,
who are unattarctive simply because
they do not know that nowadays even
the whims of nature can be overruled
by the genius of science.
If you are woman without beauti-
full hair, do not permit your attractions
to be hidden because of this slight mis-
fortune. Just make up your mind now,
that you can have just as luxuriant ana
beautiful head of hair as any other
woman, and quickly too.
It's such a simple matter to just go
to Bowdtch, Webster & Co.'S. and buy
a large bottle of Partisan Sage for so
cents. The best tonic and the. largest
bottle for the money Use it each
night for few days and you will no.
tice the harsh. fepulsive hair disap-
pear ard in it's place will come soft,
silky, bright and luxurant hair that
irresistably attracts.
Partisan Sage is guaranteed by
Bowdtch, Webster & Co. to cure dan
druff, itching of the scalp, and stop
falling hair in two weeks or money
back. Sold by leading druggists every
where; the girl with the Auburn hair
on every bottle.
Ask Bowditch, Webster & Co. about
it today.

inductively affected the telegraph wires

the messages We're made to leap from
the train to the telegraph lines. The re-
cent experiments on a weli-known rail-
road where messages were exchanged be-

and operators in Toledo, Elkhart and
Chicago were of a. different character
The HertZian waves were used, which
transmitted the messages directly to the
receiving stations, and not to the tele-
