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

In these days when youth IS the
moving factor in business: when a
man makes his mark at thirty tive
and is ready to retire at forty i've;
when business houses pension the
man we call "middle aged" rather
than allow his tagging influence to
intrude upon the commercial rush, a
bald head is almost fatal to any
mans hopes. The following must
therefore prove interesting to people
who are losing their hair or 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 germici-
dal and antiseptic, a combination is
formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair Of its nutrlment,
and also creates clean and healthy
condition Of the scalp, which pre-
vents the development Of new germs.
Pilocarpin is we'll known agent
for restoring the hair to its natural
color, where the loss Of color has been
due to a disease Of the scalp. Yet, it
is not coloring matter or dye.
This combination Of curativ>s S mix
ed with alcohol as stimulant per-
fects the most effective remedy for
hair and scalp troubles.
The famous Rexall 1897 Hair
Tonic is chiefly composed of Resor-
Gin, Beta Napthol and Pilocarpin. It
makes the scalp healthy, nourishes
the hair, stimulates the follicles.
Where the head is already bare, it
enters the follicles, revitaGzes the

THE STREET PAVING.

The street paving which Was un-
dertaken by the city council is about
completed and the pity is that more
of this work could not be done while
the gentlemen in charge Of it are here
with machinery and their force Or
eanlzed.
It is hoped, however, that our peo-
pie will see the great advantage OF
this work by that which has been put
down and that by the spring time the
city will decide to issue at least $780,
900 of bonds for the purpose Of ex-
tending the paving Of our streets. We
do not see how amy one can offer any
objection to having more Of this work
done.
Newberry must keep pace with the
other cities in the State Of its class,
and in order to do so we must not on
ly endeavor to have the city beautiful
but We must have all streets and side
walks paved.
The city must not wait until it has
the money to do this work, because II
if does it will never be done.
