TO GROW HAIR ON
A BALD HEAD
BY a Specialist.

Thousands Of people suffer from
badness and falling hair, who hay
ing tried nearly every advertised
hair tonic and hair grower without
results, have resigned themselves to
badness and its attendant discom-
forts. Yet their case is not hopeless;
the following simple home prescrlp-
ton has made their hair grow after
years of badness, ana Is also un-
eGualled for restoring gray hair to
It's original color, stopping hair from
falling out, and for destroying the
dandruff germ. 1t will not make the
hair greasy, and can be put up by
any chemist: Bay Rum ounces,
Lavona de Composee 3 ounces, Men
thol Crystals IL drachm. If you wish
it perfumed add half to one tea
spoonful of To-Kalon Perfume, which
unites perfectly with the other in
gradients. This preparation is highly
recommended by physicians and spe-
cialists, and is absolutely harmless,
as it contains none of the poisonous
wood alcohol so frequently found
in hair tonics. Do not apply to face
or where hair is not desired.
Be sure to ask the druggist for
all the enclosures in the Lavona de
Composee' package. One of them en-
titles you to handsome free sprink-
lie, top for your hair tonic bottle
and you are also entitled to receive
the free advice of an expert on
the hair by simply writing to the
address you will find enclosed in
the carton.

CHAPTER VII.
A Significant Meeting.

In direct opposition to the Gus
tom amongst missionaries, the mis-
sion at Mafeliing was built in the
heart of the location. It consisted OF
four Kaffir huts in the center of a
small patch of yegetable-galden.
One large hut was where John Yer
ricker received deputations from his
congrega zion: two smaller huis We're

and the fourth was the missionary $

much a part of Kaffir architecture;
there was no pretension of any sort
The place might have been the kraal
of a fairly Well-to-do petty chief, or
at best, the home or n witch doc

characteristic of the man who own
ed it.

And the honey moth will eat the

"But first there will be much

drawing heavily at his pipe.
There was a long silence. Verlick-
er was staring at the papers he
had set aside at his friends COM
ing. Jan Kotze watched the clouds
of smoke swirling across his head
in the placid manner of his race.
Ferman was listening to the sounds
coming from Emily Verrickers kitch-
en-. But the clatter of crockery only
ticklel his ears. His thoughts were
running on in a channel from which
there was no divergence.
How are your cattle?" he asked
presently with apparent irrelevance,

fly has been bad, too; many are

Jan nodded Presently he removed

comprehensively.
Talk went on slowly, thoughtful
ly None of these men were great
takers in the ordinary way. Each
knew the other perfectly; and this
understanding saved words in their

At last all Jan Kotzes news was
exhausted. 1t was then that Ferman
spoke at some length, his eyes un-

look of answering purpose. His

acknowledging Hefeat, though it

made such a boast, and doubtless

Once he undertook a task which
took him six years to accomplish.
He had been away from home; and
in his absence his three Basuto farm
boys had decided to revenge them
selves for the harsh treatment which
he, a Boer farmer, meted out to
them. They waited until the small
hours of the morning, when the
wife and two children he had left
behind were asleep, and set fire
to the house, having first barricad-
ed the doors and windows. When
Jan returned his home was gone and
he was a childless widOTer. A neigh

suspicion they had of the Basutos.
Jan said little. Mercy, 81 will kill
them" He sold his land and went
off. He spent six years in his
search, but he killed all three of
the murderers-nor did he let them
lie easily. Such was the man-slow,
deliberate, but inevitable as fate.
Now he listened carefully to the
instructions Ferman detailed to him.
He made no comment, but every
word was craven upon his stolid
memory. At the finish he rose and
knocked out his pipe.
And the oxen?" he asked

A New Jersey Pastor.

Down in New Jersey there is a DEM
ocrat in pursuit Of an office because he
is bent upon the determination of the
office. In his plea to the voters he
says;
II am not a candidates because l
want this office, which is to pay $500
a year, for if elected L expect to con-
vince the New Jersey legislature that
they made 2, mistake when they estab-
lished the office, for it is worthless.
There is no need of this office, and if
the deeds in the county clerks office
are being delayed the salary to be paid
the register could be spent in hiring
additional clerks in the county clerk s
office"
This man is a patriot, but a misgudi-
ed one, measured by modern political
standards. The idea nowadays is to
create more offices, instead of abolish
ing any. The taxpayers groan, but they
seem to like to be taxed to provide
someone with a soft job. We think
this Jerseyite will be defeated. The
bosses will convince the voters that the
man is simply a crank; besides, at
some time in the future they or their
friends will want it for themselves.
