One of the fondest desire Of millions

This desire can be gratified without
the slightest risk, for druggists every
where, and Goolrick's Pharmacy, sell a
hair tonic called Partisan Sage for 80

Since its introduction in America,
Partisan Sage has won unstinted praise
from women Of refinement who have

Just because the makers are absolute

most popular men in the Assembly, but
he is worker of weight and influence,
always alive to the best interest of his
constituency. | am struck with the
contrast in size of the representatives,
varying in height from about five TO
six feet, and there is greater difference
in mental caliber. There are many
young men on the floor of the House,

are intelligent and alive to Virginia s
interest. Last night the Richmond
delegates entertained the Legislature al
a grand banquet in Murphy's annex.

ripe one he is. The speeches OF
Mayor Richardson, Gov. Swanson,

The sort of sales that have lived in

most memorable of all. The entire

little short of astounding; nothing
