An ECCENTRIC boa
HE Pet Hobbies wsrv sirdS Nssas
and q Cat

! once knew a very eccentric
dog. He was a real old English
spaniel, with long body, short legs
with great bone. grand head, jaws
and teeth like q VOLTS almost and
long Ears that would meet his nose.
Poor fellow. His temper was GER
tainly unamiable, but ] think this
was caused by the state Of his
health.
He was a very curious animal,
never showing much attachment to
any one. He would bite his best
friends on the least provocation.
Nothing, though, offended him so
much as being laughed at. That
was an insult he never forgave. If
you began to laugh at him he would
growl in a very ominous manner
and if you persisted in it would
snap at you and give you such a bite
that you would not care to try
again.
If you wished to please him you
had to get a lot Of old birds nests
and give them to him, one by one.
He would carry them about for
some time, and then he would sit
down and tear them to pieces. He
was not particularly fond of going
for a walk with any one, but if you
got some nests and gave him one
occasionally he would trot along
with you as happy as possible.
Another curious habit Of his was
that he would never get out of the
way for any one. When he was
trotting along he never moved from
his line if he saw any one coming,
but if he saw they did not intend to
move would begin to growl and look
so savage that people usually made
haste out Of his way. When be hap
pened to be running down a hill he
did not growl, but merely ran
against people il they did not clear
out, his great weight usually upset
ting them, Of which he took not the
slightest notice.
A great friendship arose be-
tween this dog and a fine cat we
had, and it was very amusing to see
them together. he would walk up
to the cat and begin to lick her al
over, and then she would rub all
around him, purring and seeming to
be very fond Of him, when all Of q
sudden she would stop, look up in
his face and spit at him, at the
same time giving him two or three
sharp scratches, the only notice Of
which he took was to close hiS eyes
50 that they might not be hurt

she saw seated on the lowest step a

their number, whom the treatment

GROWS HAIR ON
BALD HEADS
A Remedy that Costs Nothing if
it Fails 70 do as Claimed.


Resorcin is one of the latest
and most effective germ-killers
discovered by science, and in con
nection with Beta Naphthol, also
a powerful antiseptic, a combina-
ton is formed which destroys
the germs which rob the hair of
its nutriment, and thus creates
a clean and healthy condition of
the scalp, which prevents the de-
velopment of new germs.
Pilocarpine is a well known
agent for restoring the hair to
its natural color, where the loss
of color has been due to a dis
ease. Yet it is not a coloring mat
ter or dye.
The famous Rexall 1913" Hair
Tonic is chiefly composed of Re-
sorein, Beta Naphtol and PHO
carpine, combined with pure al
and ~antiseptic qualities. 1t makes
the scalp healthy, nourishes the
hair, revitalizes the roots, sup
plies hair nourishment and slim
ulates a new growth.
We want you to try a few
bottles of RexaI 1893" Hair Tonic
on our personal guarantee that
the trial will not cost you a pen
ny if it does not give you abb
sOlute satisfaction. That's proof
of our faith in this remedy and it
should indisputably demonstrate
that we know what we are talk
ing about when we say that Rex
all 1893" Hair Tonic will grow
hair on bald heads, except of
course where badness has been
of such long duration that the
roots of the hair are entirely
dead, the fOllicles closed and
grown over, and the scalp is glaz-
ed,
Remember, we are basing our
statements upon what has al
ready been accomplished by the
use of Rexall 1893" Hair Tonic,
and we have the right to assume
that what it has done for hun
dreds of others it will do for you.
In any event you cannot lose any
thing by giving it a trial on our
liberal guarantee. Two sizes, so
cents and $1.00. Remember you
can obtain Rexall Remedies in
Lexington only at our store
