DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH or
OUR PREACHERS.

A preacher occupying a pulpit OF
a Northern church, has recently SAID
ut is now rush or resign, break
the record or be laid on the shell.
Look at the ubiquitous parson o
today. He is expected to officiate
at a gathering of some charitable or
ganization; to preach the baccalau
reate sermon at an educational IN
stitution; to mingle in fellowship
with the clergy of sister churcn;
TO stir up temperance feeling with
indifferent voters and write letters
to hostile legislators; to rearrange
his Sunday school classes; to wait
on tables that should be properly
served by the steward; collect an
nual contributions; raise and pay
off debts contracted by his predeces-
sors and then play his part in get
ting 25.OOO conversions a year and
evangelizing the whole world. Some
ministers are a species of moral lu-
natics gone daft on rapid transit and
are never satisfied unless they are
in a cyclone. According to the mod
ern tendency meditation is a weak
ness Of the clustered monk, but 1t
will ever be true that the hour OF
quiet will bring the thrill of discov-
cry"
That greatest of preachers, the
Apostle Paul made meption Of the
care Of all the churches" which
rested upon him, and perhaps nc
preacher can hope to escape like bur
den. but we will not ask Of oui
preachers to carry the burdens OF
the community as we'll as those OF
the church. And in their Legitimate
work we win uphold their hands. "

HAIR HEALTH.
If You Have Scalp or Hair Trouble
Take Advantage Of This Offer.

If You Have Scalp or Hair Trouble
Take Advantage Of This Offer.
We could not afford to so strong
ly endorse Rexall "9S" Hair Tonic
and continue to sell it as we do, if
we were not cretain that it would
do as we claim for it. Should our
enthusiasm carry US away, and Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic not give entire
satisfaction to the users, they would
lose faith in us and our statements,
and in consequence, our business
prestige would suffer.
Therefore, when we assure you
that if your hair is beginning to
unnaturally fall out or if you nave
any scalp trouble, Rexall "93
Hair Tonic will promptly eradicate
dandruff, stimulate hair growth and
prevent premature badness, you
NAV rest assured that we know
what we are talking about.
Ont of one hundred test cases
Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic gave entire
satisfaction in ninety-three cases
It has proved that it will grow hail
even on bald heads, when, of course
the badness had not existed for Sc
long a time that the follicles, which
are the roots of the hair, had moi
become thoroughly lifeless.
Rexan "93" Hair Tonic is vastly
different from other similar prepa
rations. We believe that it vii
do more than any other human
Z. agency toward restoring hair growtl
and hair health. 1t is not greas'
and will not gum the scalp or haii
or Gauge permanent stain. 1t is a
pleasant to use as cold water.
Our faith in Rexall 49," Hal
Tonic is so strong that We ask yo'
to try it on our positive guarantee
that your money viii be cheerfuir
refunded without question or quib
bic it does not do as we claim
Certainly we can offer no stronge

ALL HONOR TO THE STEEL COR
PORATION.

In the words of another Make
haste to give the United States
Steel Corporation a due need OF
praise while occasion exists. 1t has
followed up the stoppage of unnec-
essary Sunday work in it's mills by
stoppage of the Sunday movement OF
coal and coke and other material on
the railroads it controls. There is
excellent authority for believing that
rest one day in seven is good for
man and beast. Whether the action
Of the Trust be upon the incentive
Of good morals or of business. that
need not be considered. No matter
1t is well worthy Of general imita-
ton. There must be some Sunday
labor. The waters and the winds
move ceaselessly, and the earth
whirls on it's orbit So men must
eat and drink and breathe and think
every day in the year; but they can
abstain from all undue and unnec-
essary labor with advantage to body
and mind"
That's example worthy of imi-
tation by other great corporations
and yet while the laws of Virginia
plainly designate what railway trains
may move on Sunday, they are con-
stantly and flagrantly and openly
violated.
