DANDRUFF MEANS Badness

Wise people say there is nothing
sure in this world but death and taxes.
But that dandruff means badness
later on is just as sure as either death
or taxes, and every physician knows it.
Dandruff is caused by germ-a
vicious, persistent, tenacious germ -
that up to the discovery of one Of the
worlds greatest scientists, was sup
posed to be unkillable. That discovery
is called Partisan Sage and F. P. Hof-
mann the druggist, who is agent in OF
tumwa guarantees it to kill every
dandruff germ and remove all traces
Of dandruff in two weeks or money
back.
But Partisan Sage is more than
dandruff killer; it is guaranteed to
stop falling hair, itching of the scalp,
and all diseases of the hair and scalp.
1t contains just enough Of sage prop
erly combined with other ingredients
to make any womans or mans hair
grow luxuriantly. 1t makes every
body's harsh, lusterless hair change to
soft, lustrous, and beautiful hair. F.. P.
Holman, agent sells it at so cents a
bottle, Or you can get it direct from
the American makers, The Giroux Mfg.
Co., Buffalo, N. Y, at the same price,
by express, all charges prepaid.

suspiciously, for she was not woman
to be caught or her guard.
"Well.'' he replied slowly, II was
thinking of Wilmer when spoke. He
had an ideal woman that he was al
ways talking about when he was in
college. She was tall and stately in
his dreams. and he seemed to have no
place in his heart for small woman.

TINE POKER.
Hardly Changed Since the Days Of che
Early Metal Workers.

Hardly Changed since the pays Of che
Early Metal Workers.
AS the 6rst fireplace was circle Of
stones at the mouth Of cave. 50 the
first poker was piece Of green stick.
1t was necessary to have something to
knock the logs together with when
they began to burn through the mid
die, and as primitive man did not wear
boots he could not use them to kick
the hot embers into place, as some Of
US do to this day. That was refine
ment, IL it can be so called, which
came later. The green stick lasted un-
til the age Of iron and was then super
seeded by handy piece Of metal which
possessed the advantage Of being
stronger and Of not burning away.
But since the days of the early work
ers in metal we have made no ad-
vance.
The poker has hardly. If at all,
changed through the ages. 1t Is. as 1t
always has been. simple and severe of
outline. 1t lends itself to no vagaries
and to little ornamentation. 1t Is one
of the few things which no one has
ever patented. because it may be said
to have leaped from the first foundry
perfect and complete in every respect.
The only notable attempt at improve
ment has been to make the poker Of
brass with twisted column. but even
then the iron poker turks at the side
and is known as the curate. because it
does all the rough work. The orna-
mental poker Is not poker at all. but
a sham. an upstart masquerading un-
der an ancient and honored name and
gaining credit for duties which it is
unable to perform.-London Globe.

A GREAT BATTLE.
The One Known In History as the
'Victory of Victories"

The One Known In History as the
Victory Of Victories"
The battle which is known in his
tory as the Victory of Victories took
place at Nehavend. in Ecbatana, and
was fought between the new Moslem
power III 637 and the empire of Per
STA, then one Of the most powerful of
the eastern monarchies. 1t was one of
the most absolutely decisive battles In
the history Of war. and it was all the
more amazing by reason of the fact
that it was won by people who
twenty years before had been IN
known barbarians. lost in the deserts
Of Arabia
Arabian historians place the Persian
loss in a single day at 100000 men
killed This may be and probably Is
an exaggeration. but the fact remains
that the Persian dynasty came to an
end when the battle was over and that
Zoroastrianism. which had been the re-
ligion of Persia for over thousand
years, was at once supplanted by Is
lam. Its modern representatives. as Is
we'll known. are now the Parsees of
India.
The victory was so absolutely de-
cisive that it extended the Arabian do
minions over the whole of the region
lying between the Caspian sea and the
Indian ocean. With the exception per-
haps of the battle Of Tours. no single
fivht over mazda Snch difference in
the after history OF the world.

New songs, together with some Of
the old ones, and a new play entitled,
1.-The Wearing of the Green" are the
Offering with which Fiske O'Hara will
make a bid to renew favor at the
Grand opera house.
In this play Mr.. O'Hara has role
much more fitting his talent than any
he has heretofore appeared in. The
play being from the pen Of Theodore
Burt Sayre, our best writer Of Celtic
plays, this would naturally be expect
ed: it is said to abound in scenes of
love, interest, romance, sentiment,
heart interest of the Emerald Isle,
and Celtic humor. A splendid produc-
ton is promised and with an excellent
cast of supporting artists, pleasing
entertainment will be prescribed.
