WOMEN'S BEAUTY
II Can Never Be Perfect Without
Luxuriant Hair.

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 a 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 and
beautiful a head of hair as any other
woman, and quickly too.
It's such a simple matter to just go
to Bowditch, Webster & Cos. 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 a few days and you will no
tice the harsh. repulsive hair disap-
pear and in it's place will come soft,
silky. bright and luxuriant hair that
irresistably attracts.
Partisan Sage is guaranteed by
Bowditch. 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
1t today.
Sold and guaranteed in Waterville
by the Dorr Drug Store, and in Gardi-
ner by Jackson Bros

Newport, Aug. Ada Lewis, "the
Grace Darling of America" who, from
Lime Rock Lighthouse, off this harbor,
had saved the lives of IS persons, has
AIDED five more lives to her splendid
record.
Ida Lewis is 6S years old and for
so years has kept burning the light OF
Lime Rock, helping and succeeding her
father. Capt. Hosea Wilson. Through
angry seas she has rowed to lift the
drowning in her tossing boat; the
American Congress and foreign socie-
ties have decorated her with medals
all Newpart honored her when she
celebrated her golden anniversary as
an occupant of the lighthouse
A steamboat from New York, the
Commonwealth, gave the aged lifesaver
the opportunity she took so quickly
The Commonwealth raised so heavy a
swell at Fall River that she upset a
towboat from which man was
drowned, it is said.
An hour later the Commonwealth
rounded the south end of the torpedo
station here. leaving and spreading a

Cling. Ida Lewis from her eyrie at the
south end of the harbor on a cluster
of rocks, saw the girls danger and
jumped into her lifeboat, named like
the first one, the Rescue
With a bracery and vigor remarkable

ten she rowed to the girls and one after
another lifted them into her boat. She
would not tell their names; she de-
scribed her feat most modestly.

forced total abstinence in Chicago and

II am heartily in sympathy with the

Gibbons said. 1T is wide movement
and I hope it will spread to the most
remote corners of the nation. In the
rural parts of the country and in the
smaller towns and cities there is every
sign that the agitation is GETTING a
foothold which eventually must mean
success and widespread prohibition.
However much 1 am in favor 'of
total abstinence, yet l feel that in the
large cities such as Chicago it would
prove impracticalbe and if lawsa pro.

Have Sharp Brains Nowadays or Drop
Back.

The man of today. no matter what
his calling. needs a sharp brain. and to
get this he needs food that not only
gives muscle and strength but brain
and nerve power as well.
A carpenter and builder of Marquette
who is energetic and wants to advance
in his business read an article about
food in religious paper and in speak
ing of his experience he said:
up to three years ago 1 had not
been able to study or use my thinking
powers to any extent There was
something lacking and I know now
that it was due to the fact that my
food was not rebuilding my brain.
About this time l began the use OF
Grape-Nuts food. and the result has
been that now I can think and plan
with some success. 1t has not only re-
built my brain until it is stronger and
surer and more, active, but my muscles
are also harder and more firm, where
they used to>be loose and soft and my
stomach is now in perfect condition.
Il can endure more than twice the
amount of fatigue and my rest at night
always completely restores me. In
other words, I am enjoying life and ]

purpose. The succeeding sections of
the act are as follows:
