team work was at its best and
in the first half Lii, Matchett and

Gratz Shelby, who formerly
lived here, was a member of the
Cub team. He is considered a
good guard in Kansas City and
has held down every forward he
has played against this year un-
til he struck Lii. But there was
no stopping the swift cadet.
Matchett, too, gave a great exhib-
ition of speed and accuracy. In
the second half he was replaced
by Parks, who had practiced little
during the preceding week. This
substitution weakened the ma
chine work of Wentworth. Groves
as usual, had things his own way

BALD HEADS
NOT WANTED
Badness is Too Generally Con-
sidered a Sign of Advanced
Ace

90
A bald-headed person does not
have an equal chance with one
blessed with a healthy head of
hair, because badness is too gen
orally accepted as an indication
of age. Many large corporations
have established an age limit,
and refuse to take men over
thirty-five years of age as new
employees.
Almost 65 per cent of bald
headed people may regain 4 good
head Of healthy hair if they will
follow our advice and accept our
offer. We have a remedy that we
positively guarantee to grow hair
on any head, unless the roots Of
the hair are entirely dead, their
follicles closed, and the scalp has
become glazed and shiny. We
want people to try this remedy
at our risk, with the distinct I'M
derstanding that unless it does
exactly what we claim it will and
gives satisfaction in every respect
we shall make no charge for the
remedy used during the trial.
We know exactly what we are
talking about, and with this offer
back Of our statements no one
should scott, doubt our word or
hesitate to put our remedy to an
actual test.
We want everyone suffering
from any scalp or hair trouble,
dandruff, falling hair or bald
ness, to try our Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic. We want them to use it
regularly-say until three bottles
have been used-and if it does
not eradicate dandruff, cleanse
and refresh the scalp, tighten the
hair in its roots, and grow new
hair, we will return every cent
paid us for the remedy for the
mere asking. There is no formal
Iity expected and we exact no
obligation from the user what
ever.
We are established right here
where you live, and make this
offer with a full understanding
that our business success entire,
ly depends upon the sort of treat
ment we accord our customers,
and we would not dare make the
above offer except that we are
certain that we can substantiate
it in every particular. Rexall
1913" Hair Tonic comes in two
sizes, so cents and $1.00. Remem-
Der you can obtain Rexall Rem
edies in Lexington only at our
