Microbes in the Scalp.
The Latest Explanation Is
that Microbes Cause
Ra1dness.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Germany,
and DR.. Sabourand, of Paris, France,
share the honor Of having discovered the
hair microbe.
Badness is not caused through q few
weeks work Of these hair microbes, but
is the result of conditions brought about
by their presence. Badness may not
occur until years after the microbes
began work, but 1t Is certain to come
sooner or later.
The microbes cut off the blood supply.
They feed on the fatty matter about the
roots of the hair, through which the
blood is absorbed. Finally the fatty
matter is consumed, the food supply OF
the hair Is gone and 1t starves and finally
dies.
Resorcin Is one of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered. Beta
Naphthol is a most powerful, yet alb
solutely safe germicide and antiseptic,
which prevents developments OF germ
matter, and creates clean, healthy con-
dition.
Pilocarpine, although not coloring
matter or dye, is an ingredient well
established for its power to restore nat
ural color to human hair when loss of
color has been caused by disease.
Borax, because of it's well-defined soft
ening and cleansing properties, is most
useful in the treatment of scalp and hair
diseases. Glycerine acts as stimulant
to the hair bulbs, and has soothing,
healing and nourishing influence. Alco-
hol is indispensable in medicine because
of its antiseptic, stimulating and pre-
sentative qualities.
We want every one who has scalp or
hair trouble to try Rexall "93'' Hair
Tonic, which contains all these ingre-
dients. II it does not give you complete
satisfaction in every particular, we will
return every penny you paid us for it,
for the mere asking and without question
or formality.
OF course you understand that when
we say Rexall 1897 Hair Tonic will grow
hair we do not refer to cases where the
roots are entirely dead, the pores OF the
scalp closed, and the head has the shiny
appearance of a billiard ball. In cases
like this there is no hope. In all other
cases of badness Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
will grow hair, or cost the user nothing.

enough 20 that they can earn their board,
and be no expense to the county, and the
town can get the rest of the benefit from
their labor. This will comply with the
law, and be benefit to all, except to
the prisoner that purposely gets arrest
cd 80 as to get into warm place for the
winter.
This will do while the work Is being
done at this end of the town, but 1t
would not be my idea to work all the
time in one place, but rather to 60 over
the town and fix the worst places first
There are some bad places In West Paris,
North Paris and beyond Paris Hill that
ought to he fixed, and 1t seems to me the
proper way would be to flx all the bad
places as fast as possible, and what We
do, do 1t we'll, 30 1t would be done for all
time, as far as any now living are con-
cerned.
There is a mountain of stone at Mt.
Mica all blasted out ready to put into
the crusher, set the crusher there for one
winter, crush the stone in the winter,
and haul 1t by the ton, on the snow, and
have 1t left where we will want to work
the next summer. Any one who has
watched the teams hauling dirt In hot
July day, will understand that hauling
by the ton, on a good road in the winter
and hauling by the day, in the heat of
July, is different proposition altogether.
believe that it can be hauled for about
one-half of what it costs to haul the
gravel now.
There is nothing impossible in this
proposition. We can do it If we want to,
and do not try to be 80 prudent that we
will lose in the end. Prudence is
good thing, but carried to excess it
is foolishness. We have tried to keep
our road expenses down and We have no
more to show for our 100000 that we
have spent during the last twenty-five
years, then we had then. We cannot
build roads by raking the dead leaves
and dust up into the road every spring.
What we want is good solid bed of
crushed stone and heavy steam roller,
aud build good solid road that our
children's children will be proud of.
This is very important matter and
should be carefully considered by every
voter before he comes to the town meet
ing. 1t will affect every citizen in the
town, and will do more to build up the
town, and to bring money here than any
thing that can be done.

Some Changes In School Laws

A circular recently issued by the state
superintendent of schools calls attention
to certain changes in the laws which
should be noted by the towns as of inter-
est before their annual town meetings
are held. The following are few of the
points which are of importance:
Length of school year: Beginning
with the next school year towns are re-
quired by law to maintain schools for at
least twenty-six weeks. In the cases Of
those towns that have maintained
schools for shorter period than that
named, provision should be made for the
necessary increase.
High school funds: On the basis of the
law now in force the State aids any town
in the support of free high school to
the limit of $500 annually in place of
$3.50 as previously named and on the
basis of two-thirds reimbursement in
place of one half.
In appropriating for the support of a
free high school it should be noted that
the lowest appropriation and expendi-
ture permissible must be $3.50, the mini
mum provided for Glass G. high school.
Of this appropriation and expenditure
the State reimburses two-thirds, leaving
$3.50 to be raised by local taxation. The
minimum provisions in the cases of
Glass B. and Glass A. high schools are,
respectively, $500 and $3.50. The town
should in any case vote to appropriate
and expend the full amount intended for
the support of free high schools, indicat-
ing also the portion to be raised by local
tax.
Contracts with academies: 1t should
be noted that contracts between school
committees and trustees of academies
for the tuition of secondary students
should be authorized by the towns from
year to year, and that such q contract
can apply only to an academy located
within the town. A similar contract so
authorized may also be made with the
school board of ian adjoining town."
Conveyance: Conveyance Of common
school pupils Is in the control OF the
school committee, and does not call for
town action. Conveyance of secondary
school pupils can be paid only when q
special appropriation is made for the
purpose.

Bath Independent-Those who are
posted on the summer resort conditions
along the New Meadows are predicting
that there will be at least half dozen
new summer cottages this spring built
to add to the taxable real estate in West
Bath. This summer resort property is
quite an aid to this town when it comes
to raising taxes and the occupants of
the summer homes are good patrons OF

Many of our citizens are urging the
election of one or more road commits
sioners for the town of Paris, and an
article has been placed in the warrant
for town meeting to put the question be-
fore the voters. The friends OF William
B. Russell have urged him to be a candi-
date for the place, and he has finally
consented to allow his name to be used.
Whether or not the west and north Sec
tons of the town will present candi.
date remains to be seen, but the general
impression seems to be that one road
commissioner can not handle the work
for the entire town. Con-.

proposed to pay for same on easy terms,
of $1,000 per year and interest. This will
not call for so large an expenditure each
year that we will not have anything left
to work with, and it is hoped that the
amount of money that we usually spend
on the highways, can be spent more
judiciously so that we can make much

pense than usual, so that the tax rate
will not be increased. We have an
