Risnham Recital a Trent.

The David Bispham recital of
songs given in Moline last evening
under the auspices of the musical
of the Women's club,
was one of the greatest musical
treats ever heard in the tri-cities.
The tri-cities were all represented in
the audience. Mr.. Bispham is quoted
as saying it was one of the most en-
thusiastic and musical audiences be-
fore which he has ever appeared.
The recitation to music of king
Robert of Sicily" was the best ever
presented in Moline. The ballad
Edward" is one of the most classic
songs ever written. His rendition of
the southern melodies were especial
ly good. The Invitation to Youth"
has been heard only once before and

NO MORE DANDRUFF
Harper House Pharmacy Sells the
Remedy That Is Guaranteed to
Kill All DandrufR Germs.

OF course you and every intelli-
gent reader of The Argus knows that
dandruff is caused by germ.
DR.. Sagerbund, the great French
physician, proved this beyond a
doubt.
In order to rid your scalp Of filthy
dandruff you must kill the germ.
There is a hair dressing called Pa
risian Sage which is now sold in
every town in America, that is guar
anteed to eradicate dandruff, stop
falling hair, splitting hair and
scalp itch in two weeks. or money
back.
If you have dandruff get a large
so cent bottle today and rid your
self of it. Remember that If dan
time. the hair will surely fall out
and badness will follow.
Here's proof of what Partisan
Sage has done; 1t will do more. 1t
is the finest hair grower and hair
dressing in the world, and people
who use it regularly will never grow
bald. Mrs. John Stoner, Evansville,
Ind, writes on June 2, 1910:
"I used Partisan Sage and found
it very successful; it removes dan
druff and gives the hair life. I only
used two bottles. 1 know it is a cure
for dandruff."
Large bottles so cents at the Har-
per House pharmacy and druggists
everywhere. The girl with the
auburn hair is on every carton.

Special cases Of pensioning and also
the total amount of national pensions
have brought forth burning criticism.
Here Is enc case on which all can
agree, that of John a. Kissinger, who
has just been granted a pension Of
500 a month.
John A. Kissinger is remembered
as the man who, during the Spanish
American war was subjected to a yell
low fever experiment. Physicians sus-
pected that the disease was caused by
singer, a private soldier, requested to
be allowed to be subjected to the first
experiment. The sacrifice vas to be
a gift to the world. There was one
condition, namely, hat he should re-
ceive nc compensation. He was in
oculated with the disease, and finally
escaped death only to remain a help
less invalid, with both legs paralyzed.
His wife and two children are depend
ent upon him.
There car be no question that he
deserved the pension, especially If he
roisfn, s~elf-sacrifce and resulting need
be the conditions On which pensions
are granted. Apart from any duty
on the part Of the government the
world owes a great debt to this man.
Doubtless another wou have been
found to do hat which he did. The
martial hero receives no less honor
because there may have been another
who would nave done the same thing
had the occasion presented itself.
1t is estimated that in 1873 yellow
fever cost the country 500, 900, 900 by
interference with commerce alone.
Each year claimed many thousands Of
victims. The dread disease is now
under control. Only because Of It's

deserves equal glory with him who,
at the risk Of his life, carries out the
national policies by war.
Personal glory is closely related to
much Of the heroism with which we
are acquainted. Many Of the heroes
Of history had every spur to action,
and they acted with others. Some
men have shown bravery when the
absence Of bravery would have meant
c~owardice. All honor to the obscure
nero who in the quiet ways Of life
fights the greatest Of battles all alone.

Asks Aid in Taking Census.

Thief River Falls News: George
Welsh, commissioner of immigration,
is sending circular letters to the COM
,merical societies and farmers clubs
urging them to assist the census
supervisors in obtaining complete
statistics of farm yields. The i'm
migration authorities of Minnesota,
he explains, have been hampered in
preparing advertising matter to
promote the welfare of the state by
lack of authentic statistics of the
crops.
Sometimes the census officials
are suspected of being assessors or
that their figures will form
the basis of assessments and the
farmer becomes too conservative.
The census reports are valua bic
for comparison with the crop yields
in other states, and Minnesota can
make a fine showing if correct in
formation is obtained.
