Lecture Course.

Frank @. Bruner, ID. Ph.D., of Chi
cago, will be the next attraction Of the
Washington township High School
lecture course, Wednesday evening
November 2, at 1880 o'clock.
The famous Byron w. King, Presi-
dent of King School or Oratory at Pitts
burg, after hearing one of Mr.. Burners
lectures, paid him the following fine
compliment:
"Our people were elighted with
your lecture; they looked for dow Of
eloquence but were not expecting a
Niagara; the flood was almost over
whelming. IL is quite difficult TO get a
man with voice power and magnetic
force to reach out and draw in four
thousand people and hold them SPELL
bound for two hours or more, as you
did. You seem to have something for
everybody, and everybody seemed
pleased with his portion. like your
lecture. 1t has nerve fiber and muscle
and back bone. l am glad you are not
afraid TO speak out. There are so
many people on the platform to-day
who, IL they have ideas, are afraid 10
give them expression. / should like
to hear all your other lectures. If you
come our way again, you shall surely
find me in the audience, with eyes and
ears attentive. We shall long remem-
Der you here as scholar, orator and
the man with a mission"
Other equally good things have been
said of him by the press, and no audi
ence will be disappointed with him.
The lecture is under the auspices of
the high school. Season tickets five
lectures) Adults, 81; school pupils,
75c; single admissions, 20 and 35 cents.
Seats reserved free.
II. J. Bobenmoyer, of that township,
who has taken considerable interest in
the course, while in town yesterday
said there has been a marked increase
shown in them over last year. He
said there was some disappointment
over the failure of DR.. King to appear
for his lecture, but his failure to keep
his date was unavoidable, and that he
will appear at later date.

Make This Test
How to Tell If Your Hair Is
Diseased.

Even if you have a luxurlant head
of hair you may want to know wheth-
er it is in a healthy condition or not.
SO per cent of the people need hair
tonic.
Pull hair out of your head; if the
bulb at the end of the root is white and
shrunken, it proves that the hair is
diseased, and requires prompt treat
ment if its loss would be avoided. If
the bulb is pink and full, the hair is
healthy.
We want every one whose hair needs
treatment to try Rexall "93" hair tom
ic. We promise that it shall not cost
anything if it does not give satisfactory
results. 1t is designed to overcome
dandruff, relieve scalp irritation, to
stimulate the hair roots, tighten the
hair already in the head, grow hair
and cure badness.
1t is because of what Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic has done and our sincere
faith in It's goodness that we want you
to try it at our risk. Two sizes, soc.
and $l.OO. Sold only at our store

HORRIBLE FATE

Another horrible death, resulting
from the accidental discharge of gun
is chronicled this week. VIM. Frank
lin Hole, son of VIM. J. Hold, living

arrival of help no would have burned

According to an opinion of Attornev

According to an opinion of Attorney
General Denman to II. H. Shirer,
secretary of the state board of chari-
ties, parent is responsible for the
payment of keep of child at state
hospitals, whether the child was COM
mitted after it was of age oris married.
In the former case, the father, althO he
is able to pay for the keep of his child
refuses onthe ground that the boy was
of age when sent to the asylum, and he
therefore is not responsible. The other
case is that of daughter who is mar
ried, but the husband is unable to pay
for her support at state institution,
altho the family is wealthy. Attorney
General Denman in his opinion goes
back to the English law in fixing the
responsibility of parents toward their
children confined in charitable institu-
tions.

1t is frequently stated that Catholics
won't vote for Protestant when there
is Catholic candidate in the field, but
Mr.. Fishers vote in the Catholic 4th
ward over Mr.. Callen puts the lie to
this as well as some other G.O.P cock
and bull stories.
To clinch matters, we don't believe
Mr.. Tenant can poll his party vote as
candidate against Mr.. Fisher.
