 In your report of the affair in Esq. McGraw's court, yesterday, you do me a very great injustice. At the trial Dr. Butterworth had testified as to the genuiness of the girls age, he was asked on, cross examination by MT. Steve Carrigan, Jr., if he ever whipped the girl. To this question I ob. Jected, because it was not ger mane to the issue as Smith was on trial for perjury and whether Butterworth had ever whipped his step-daughter or not made no difference. The court over ruled my objections and held that the witness might answer. Then l said that if such was to be the ruling of the court we would withdraw the charge and walk out of court. Mr. Carrigan then proposed to proceed with the proof against pr. Butter. worth. l told him that he could not do it, that we had withdrawn the charge and he could not pro. ceed.

One Million Baldheads Who Thought
Dandruff Wasn't Dangerous.

m the United States and Canada
to-day there are nearly million
men who at 35 can be put in the
baldhead class.
When these men had thick vigor-
Gus hair, damdruff made its appear
ance.
That was the time to attack the en-
envy of mankind-the persistent lit
tie devil called a dandruff microbe,
or germ that burrows deep down in
to the hair root and saps it of the
vitality that is so essential to the
hair.
Young man or any man, for that
matter, beware Of the dandruff germ;
it Is not theory, but an actual con
dition that confronts you. That dan
druff is caused by germ, is prov
en- beyond question. That this germ
destroys the hair root is to-day mat
ter of common knowledge.
Otis Purdy the druggist has the
remedy that kills the dandruff
germs. He guarantees it to eradicate
dandruff, stop falling hair and itching
scalp in two weeks, or money back.
1t is called PARTISAN SAGE, and
can be obtained at druggists in every
town i'm America--ask Purdy for ht.
