BEAUTIFUL HAIR
1t Is Easy to Get and Keep

When fifty sent bottle of Partisan
Sage will put life, lustre and brilli
ancy into any woman's hair, why
should any woman have repulsive or

to.
Partisan Sage is the ideal hair
dressing of the times, not only does it
make woman's hair beautiful, but 1t
is guaranteed by G.. R. Fogg to cure
dandruff, stop falling hair and itching
scapl in two weeks, or money back.

dandruff, get rid of it as soon as you
can. Dandruff is caused by dand-
ruff germ. and sooner or later will
cause badness.
Partisan Sage kills the germs that
cause dandruff, and kills them prompt
ly. 1t is a daintily perfumed tonic,
free from grease and sickness. The
girl with the Auburn hair is on every
bottle. Price so cents at druggists

THE BRONZE BUTTON
Charles w. Skillings Of Portland Tells
What II Means

A year ago Charles W. Skillings of
Portland, a U. 8. inspector of customs,
veteran soldier and member of Bos-
worth post. G.. A. R., at campfire
spoke of the bronze button worn by
members of the order. GEM. L. Cham
berlain. who heard him, complimented
him on his fine reply to the question
What does the bronze button mean ?"
and later said No one need ask again
after hearing that speech"
Since that campfire the comrades
of the Grand Army have talked OF the
brief speech of their comrade and feel
that 1t deserves the widest possible
circulation. Mr. Skillings said:
THE small round metallic button
seen in the lapel of many coats worn
by the rank and file of the survivors of
the rebellion of 1865 is fast becoming
a question, What is it and why do
men wear it?'
Il have had the question asked me
many times and am surprised there
are 80 many who know not what 1t
represents, and many, many more, who
have no idea of its meaning.
First it represents the life of ma
ton, the great republic, the United
States of America. 1t Identifies the
wearer as one of the nations preserv-
ers. To go into detail, it points to a
hero, one who left home and home
comforts, left wife and children, faith
er and mother sister and brother, all
for his country, put on the garb of
oh
the front and offered himself breast
work and defense, barred his breast to
the enemy's bullets. jeopardized his
life that the nation might live.
From it is reflected hardship, pri-
walton and suffering which cannot be
told. The march by day along dusty
and muddy roads from sunrise to sun
set, following up the enemy, Skin
and accommodating; the biv-
ouac by night whether under the pale
light of the moon with bright stars
shining down, or in the darkness of
storm and gloom with rain pouring
upon him; whether in camp and all
night in, or on picket with half the
night on duty; whether in front with
only hard bread and raw pork with
cold muddy water to drink or in the
rear with fresh Tread and coffee, it's
the same, it means a soldier in arms,
ever ready to fight, and If needs be
to die for country and the flag.
1.-The little round button so value
less and insignificant of itself, means
great sacrifice, the loss of leg or an
arm, the loss of health. 1t means

it means starvation even unto the

service.

no difficulty experienced whatever In
