FOR YOUR Hair
Here Are Facts We Want You
to Prove at Our Risk

Marvellous as it may seem,
Rexall "933" Hair Tonic has
grown hair on heads that were
once bald. Of course it is un-
derstood that in none of these
cases were the hair roots dead
nor had the scalp taken on a
glazed, shiny appearance.
When the roots of the hair
are entirely dead and the pores
of the scalp are glazed over, we
do not believe that anything
can restore hair growth.
When Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic will do as above stated,
it is not strange that we have
such great faith in it and that
we claim it vii, ;..ty-nt bald
ness when used in time. It.
acts scientifically, destroying
the germs which arc usually
responsible for badness. II
|penetrates to the roots of the
hair, stimulating and nourish-
ing them. 1t is a most pleas
ant toilet necessity, is delicate
ly perfumed and will not gum
nor permanently stain the hair.
We want you to get a bottle
of Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and
use it as directed. If it does
not relieve scalp irritation, re-
move dandruff, prevent the
hair from falling out and pro-
mote an increased growth of
hair and in every way give en-
tire satisfaction, simply come
back and tell us and without
question or formality we will
hand back to you every penny
you paid us for it.
We lend our endorsement to
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic and sell
it on this guarantee, because
we believe it is the best hair
tonic ever discovered. Itcomes
in two sizes, prices so cents and
$l.00. Remember you can OBJ.
tain it only at our store, The
Rexall Store.

The New Commercial Club

Clarinda Herald: At the
meeting of the Commercial
Club in the assembly room Of
the Library last Friday evening
the plan of reorganization
met with general approval and
the meeting was a most en-
thusiastic one. The committee
reported on the new plan, and
after its adoption, the commit
tee was retained to draft ar
ticles of Incorporation and to
report at the next meeting,
which will be on Friday even
ing, April Is, at eight o'clock.
The organization elected C
A. Lisle for chairman. Rufus
Lee for vice president and II.
r. Spry, treasurer.
The plan talked of was to
charge a membership fee of
Sis and an annual due of $40
There were some who thought
this charge to be prohibitive to
the greater number Of the busi-
ness men, but those who ia
vored the measure did so be
cause they thought it the most
economical plan. The thought
is to require all expenditures of
money to be made by, or
through, the recommendation of
the club and by this method do
away with the array of solicit
ors who almost daily visit the
business men with subscription
papers. 1t is believed, by the
club, that Gas iron sharpeneth

man sharpen the conscience of
his fellow man." sIn the mul.
titude of counsel there is wis

All of these plans will be dis

took a long look, and said:
