Any Woman Can
Have Beautiful Hair
From French Beauty Monthly


NO woman should use water upon
her hair oftener than once in two
months" says NJ Fournier, the noted
French scientist DRY powder only
should be used. Moisture causes the
HAIR to lose its color and in time be-
come thin.
Any woman desiring abundant. lus-
trOus hair should use a dry shampoo

ounces Of powdered orris root with four
ounces Of therOX- Sprinkle about a
tablespoonful of this mixture upon the
head; then brush the powder thoroughly

You viii soon see new hair starting to
grow This treatment is the only thing
that I am sure will produce a growth
or hair.
While plain OTTlS root is used as a
dry shampoo by many women, still. no
such results can be obtained as by using
the formula I have given"

There Is absolutely no grounds for
stating there will be a dog show in

There Were 1855 Deaths in Iowa
in Month of August.

The Iowa state board of health is
sues a monthly report showing the
death for the whole state. The re-
port for August, which has just been
issued places the number at 1885,
which is 27S more than during the
previous month. The figures are not
accurate. Des Moines county, for
instance, is credited with "a deaths.
According to the local board of health
there were 35 deaths in Burlington
during August, one more than the
state board records for the whole
county, and there are some $4,000
people in the county outside Of the
city. However, the report will prob
ably prove sufficiently accurate for
purposes of comparison, and some day
we may hope to improve these re-
ports until they become absolutely
correct. 1t ought to be possible to
do this.

ONLY ONE BEST.
Leon People Give Credit Where
Credit is Due.

People of Leon who suffer with
sick kidneys and bad backs want q
kidney remedy that can be depended
upon. The best is Doan's Kidney
Pills. a medicine for the kidneys
only, made from pure roots and
herbs, and the only one that is back
ed by cures in Leon. Here's Leon
testimony:
Mrs. Mary A. Kinds, of Leon, Ia,
says: 81 think just as highly of
Doan's Kidney Pills now as I did
five years ago when I gave a public
statement in their favor. At that
time l was troubled considerably by
a retention of the kidney secretions.
1 also had pains through the small
of my back, and if over exerted, I
became worse. Hearing of Doan's
Kidney Pills, I procured box from
l.. P. Van Werden's drug store and
was surprised at the prompt way in
which they brought me relief. I
have used this remedy quite often
during the past five years and it has
never failed to help me-"

Postoffice Inspectors.

Special agents of the postoffice de-
partment are travelling around the
country, dropping in newspaper Of
fees when least expected to examine
subscription lists, to ascertain if the
regulation requiring the payment
of subscription is being observed.
1t is dangerous business for a
newspaper publisher to send papers
to subscribers who are more than
twelve months in arrears. To be
deprived of the second class mailing
privilege, which is the penalty for
noncompliance with the ruling, puts
a newspaper out of business, for the
expense of putting a one cent stamp
on every paper mailed amounts to
much more than the entire subscrip-
ton business, to say nothing of the
increased amount of labor for af-
fixing the stamps.
