The long fight that has been in
progress in the special session of the
Illinois legislature over the primary
election legislation was brought to
a close last week when two bills
which were acceptable to the governor
were passed. The main direct plurality

81 to 90. It provides for the direct
nomination of all officers except men,

MICROBES IN THE SCALP.
The Latest Explanation is That Microbes
Cause Badness.

Cause Badness.
Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many. and DR.. Sabourand, of Paris,
France, share the honor of having
discovered the hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through
few weeks work of these hair.
microbes, but is the result of condi
tions brought about by their presence.
Badness may not occur until years
after the microbes began work, but it
is certain to come sooner or later.
The microbes cut off the blood
supply. They feed on the fatty matter
about the roots of the hair, through
which the blood is absorbed. Finally
the fatty matter is consumed, the
food supply of the hair is gone and it
starves ana finally dies.
Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered. Beta
Naphthol is most powerful, yet
absolutely safe germicide and anti
septic, which prevents development of
germ matter, and creates a clean,
healthy condition. ~
Pilocarpine.. although not color
/ ing matter or dye, is an ingredient
we'll established for its power to re-
store natural color to human hair
when loss of color has been caused by
disease.
Borax, because Of it's we'll fined
softening and cleansing properties,
is most useful in the treatment of
scalp and hair diseases. Glycerine
acts as stimulant to the hair bulbs,
and has soothing, healing and
nourishing influence. Alcohol is in
dispensable in medicine because of its
antiseptic, stimulating and preserva
tive qualities.
We want every one who has scalp
or hair trouble to try Rexall ''95''
Hair Tonic, which contains all these
ingredients. If it does not give you
complete satisfaction in every parti
culaI, we will return every penny
you paid US for it, for the mere ask

Of course you understand that when
we say that Rexall ''93'' Hair Tonic
will grow hair we do not refer to
cases where the roots are entirely
dead, the pores of the scalp closed,
and the head has the shiny appearance
of a billiard ball. i In cases like this
there is NO hope. In all other cases
