THEY GROW HAIR.
Certain Ingredients if Properly Com
bined, Stimulate Human
Hair Growth.

Resorcin is one OF the most effective
germ deStroyers ever discovered. Beta
naphthol is a most powerful, yet abSo-
lutely safe germicide and antiseptic, which
prevents development OF germ matter,
and creates clean, healthy condition.
Pilocarpine, although not a coloring
matter or dye, is an ingredient well es-
tablished for its power TO restore natural
color to human hair.
Borax, because OF its well-defined soft
ening and cleansing properties, is most
useful in the treatment OF scalp and hair
diseases. Glycerine acts as a stlmulant
to the hair bulbs, and has soothing
healing and nourishing influence. Alco-
hol is indispensable in medicine because
OF its antiseptic, stimulating and preser-
vative qualities.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is chiefly COM
posed of these ingredients, which are
compounded in peculiar form, and we
believe il is the most effective remedy
known to medical science for scalp and
hair troubles generally. We personally
guarantee il to eradicate dandruff and
scalp irritations and to grow hair, even
though the scalp in spots is bare OF hair,
providing OF course there is life and vital
ity remaining in the hair roots.
We want everyone troubled with scalp
disease, dandruff or loss OF hair to try
RexaIl "93" Hair Tonic. II it does not
remove dandruff and promote growth
of hair to the satisfaction OF the user, we
will without question or bubble return
every cent paid US for If. This guarantee
is printed on every package. II has ef-
fected most satisfactory results in 90 out
OF 100 cases where put to practical test.
RexaIl "S3" Hair Tonic is entirely un-
like and in every particular different from
ANYTHING else we know Of for the purpose
for which it is recommended. We urge
you to try if at cur entire risk. Certainly
we could offer no better guarantee. Two
sizes, 50 cents and 500. Sold in Shep-
herdstown only at our store,-The Rex

dreat Smoke and Small Fire.

Shepherdstown came near having a
disastrous IRE carly this morning About
3 O'Clock a. m. the fire bell rang and
reused up the people, who found that the
trouble was in the basement under VIM.
r. Moler's store on Main street. Mrs.
Mamie Taylor, in charge of Sunbeam
Hall, whose living rooms are over the
store, was awakened by dense smoke
that filled the house. She gave an alarm
at once. The first persons on the scene
located the fire in the basement, but the
smoke was so dense that it was impossi-
BILE to enter the place. The doors were
kept tightly closed until the fire engine
was ready to start up, and then two
streams of water, one from the front and
one from the rear, were thrown into the
basement. The place was soon flooded
and whatever fire was there was extin-
guished. The heavy smoke was very
threatening at first, but fortunately there
was no outbreak into flames.
It's not known how the fire originated.
The basement was used as storage place
for boxes and barrels and there was a
good deal of rubbish in it, in which pos
sibly matches may have been dropped.
The only loss occasioned was from the
smoke, which filled the building and
favored some of the goods in Mr.. Moler's
store.
F.. L. Weltzheimer was the hero Of the
occasion. The wire with which the fire
bell is rung broke off. and he climbed to
the top OF the tower and sounded the
alarm long and loud by hand power. Nor
man Crowl also proved to be an intrepid
fireman by making his way into the base
ment where the smoke was thickeSt.
Mrs. Taylor was overcome by the ex-
element and had to have the service OF
physician. The damageto Sunbeam Hall
was insignificant.

Polk Miller Is Coming.

The people of Shepherdstown and vi
entity have genuine treat in store, for
Polk Miller, the inimitabIe Southern
f1umorist, will be here on Tuesday even
ing, February 9Th, and give his entertain
ment in the college auditorium. We
promise the people that this will be one
of the most enjoyable entertainments ever
given in this section. Polk Miller's rep
utation in the United States is that of one
of the very best of past or present enter
tainers, and everyone who has ever heard
him has come under the charm ofhis per-
sonality. He and his colleague, Col.
Tom Booker, both ofwhom are native Viz
ginians, are pair Of old Confederates that
have captured the country together, and
they are welcome North, South, East and
West. Their old plantation and war time
stories and songs are Incompatible, and
there is not dull minute in the enter
tainment. Mr. Miller will bring with him
the famous quartette of Virginia negro
singers, who have pleased audiences all
over the country.
The price of admission has been fixed
at the modest sum of IS cents, and the
auditorium ought to be iammed full at this
rate.
Mark Twain, on hearing one of Mr..
Miller's performances, wrote as follows:
81 think that Prince Henry in being out
West, and not hearing Polk Miller and his
wonderful four, has missed the only thing
the country can furnish that is originally
and utterly American. Possibly it can
furnish something more enjoyable, but
must doubt if until forget that pair OF
musical earthquakes, the Watermelon
Song and Old Dan Tucker.

Representative William P. Hubbard, OF
West Virginia, seems to be a man who is
not afraid OF the people. Mr.. Hubbard
has formally announced his candidacy tor
the United States Senate, TO succeed Sem
ator Nathan B. Scott, whose term expires
March Sd. 1911. Mr.. Scott has had the
Senate habit since 1889, having served
continuously since that time. Mr.. Hub
bard, in his letter announcing his candi-
dacy, advocates the holding of a primary
election TO designate the choice OF the
people for Senator. Close observers say
that Mr.. Hubbard has strong following,
and that Senator Scott faces the fight oil
his life But the real point is that Mr..
Hubbard and his friends are willing to
submit their case to the people. They
have flung down the gauntlet TO Senator
Scott and his adherents. They have SET
good example, not only to their fellow
Republicans OF West Virginia, but to pol
iticians of all States. The Senatorial pri-
mary is a twentieth century American in
stitution and has come to stay. Regard
less of the respective qualifications OF the
rival candidates, Mr.. Hubbard's willing
ness to LET the people decide is deserv-
ing of the highest commendation.-Bai-

the law of supply and demand, which
should be the ruling force in an open
and competitive market. The cold
storage process has accomplished re-
markable benefits for the consumer
in many ways. Rightly used it would
be the means of reducing his cost
OF living. Wrongly used it has in
creased the cost of his living and
created immense profit for specula-
tors and manipulators. With the IA
cilities of cold storage the butter and
egg markets can be absolutely con-
trolled. With the immense reserve
in storage the market can be broken
to such an extent as to ruin any in
dependent movement to regulate it,
With the facilities of storage a suffi-
ctent amount of the natural market
can be withdrawn at any time to
create an effective corner and to put
prices at any desired point. The
authoritative figures quoted above
are sufficient evidence to any family
head in the United States now being
forced to pay famine prices for but
ter and eggs to convince him of the
importance of an immediate and an
lnsistent appeal to the president and
to congress for a complete and thor
ough investigation of this and other
factors which have tended to in
crease the cost of living beyond the
point where there is a reasonable and
natural explanation. Macon News.

is THE NIGH BEER LAW LAME?
1t is Now Said That the Act Doesn't
Provide Penalty.

A well-known member of the legis-
latuTe advances the theory that ow-
ing to the legislatures failure to in
corporate in the near beer section of
the general tax act for 1910 any pen
atty whatever it has probably accom-
plished just the opposite of what was
intended
The law prohibits the sale of near
beer except in incorporated cities and
towns of $500 inhabitants or more,
according to the last census, and
license can be issued only in such
municipalities.
But, as there is no penalty at
taChed to the failure to procure
license, he suggests that it might be
possible for anyone to operate a neal
beer resort wherever he chooses
without paying any license at all, I'M
less he is located in one of the cities
or towns described, where he would
be liable to execution and levy, if he
did not pay it,
