Pull Out a Hair
The Way to Tell Whether or
Not Your Hair Is Diseased.

Even If you have a Iuxuriant head
of hair you may want to know wheth-
er 1t is in a healthy condition or not.
Ninety-eight per cent of the people
need a hair tonic. You can make a
test yourself that you can see and
understand, which will tell you
whether your hair is healthy or not.
Pull a hair out of your head; if the
bulb at the end Of the root is white
and shrunken, it proves that the hair
is diseased and requires prompt
treatment if it's loss would be avoid
ed. If the bulb is pink and full, the
hair is healthy.
We want every one whose hair
requires treatment to try our Rexal
"93" Hair Tonic. We promise that
1t will not cost anything If it does
not give satisfactory results. Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic is designed to over
come dandruff, relieve scalp irrita-
ton, stimulate the hair roots, tighten
the hair already in the head, grow
hair and eradicate badness.
Out of 100 cases where it was
given a thorough conscientious test,
it grew hair on SO heads, which
should be sufficient proof that Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic contains extra
ordinary remedial and hair-growing
qualities. 1t is because of our knowI-
edge of this preparation and our sin
cere faith in its goodness that we
want you to try it at our risk.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is a clean,
clear preparation which does not
grease, gum, or thicken the hair,
and it has a very pleasant odor. We
have it in two sizes, prices so cents
and $1.00. Remember you can OBJ

Choir at Dinner.

The complimentary banquet tender
ed the ushers, collectors and choir of
st. Joseph's church last evening at the
New Harper by Dean J. J. Quinn was
attended by practically every one who
was eligible to go and there were about
so there Following an excellent eight
course dinner, Dean Quinn made
short address in which he expressed
appreciation of the services rendered
to the church during the past year by
the guests of honor. Rev. w. j. Cleary
also made a short address. There fol
lowed a musical program consisting of
vocal solos by Mrs. Mae Richards
Casey, Arthur A Burt and Miss Aman-

to audit the books of the officers from
time to time during the year.
The reports of Secretary G. L.
Beardsley and the retiring treasurer,
w. H Gest, Jr., showed that the past
season had been a very prosperous
of the year the organization was in
debted to the extent of $500 and at the
close it had cleared all this away and
placed a balance to its credit in the
bank. This required some tall hustling
on the part of the secretary and in
fact all Of the officers, and it was de-
cided that to make the club come
closer to meeting its actual running
expenses. the harbor rent for launches
should be increased from 81 per month
to $3.50.
Did Not Move House.
The plan of moving the clubhouse
at the foot of Twelfth street over the
railroad tracks in order to prevent its
being carried away by the ice was
abandoned with the consent OF tho
members when it was learned that 1t
would cost about $3.50 to move it from
and back to its foundation. Several
weeks ago when the ice first becanFe
q source of danger the officers got to-
gether and decided that the house
ought to be protected and the only way
to do this seemed to be to move it out
of the path OF the ice. Accordingly
several firms who make business of
moving houses were asked to make
price on the COB and they all wanted
so much for the work that the officers
decided they would rather run chances
with the ice than pay nearly as much
as a new house would cost.
VIII Beautify Grounds.
Alderman John Carse of the Second
ward and S. A LaVanway of the Third
ward were at the meeting, having been
especially invited to be present. They
we're asked as to what the prospects
were Of securing enough ground from
the city to make a short fill both above
and below the clubhouse in order that
the levee might be changed into lit
tie riverside park, Both aldermen
spoke very favorably Of the idea and
expressed a desire to aid in the pro-
ject. Some work along this line was
accomplished last year, the plan
is to have a real little park where the
people of the city can spend the sum
mer evenings watching the river craft
plying up and down the stream. Eff
forts are being made to get the rail-
way companies to aid in the project
by dumping carloads of ashes at the
place where the fill is required.

can be ascertained from history and

Egyptians were the first shoemakers
who were worthy Of that name. 1t is
a fact. too. that tanners Of today EN-.

as did the ancients. About the same
materials are used, and the processes
are almost precisely similar to those In
vogue hundreds of years ago. 1t is
true that tanners of the present day

modern machinery have done much TO
expedite and improve the processes Of
finishing the leather; but. after all. the

be termed a silk train" made
up of steel baggage cars which
were used to transport the com
modify of silk, which was des-
tined for New York. This was
a valuable train load of merchan-
disc, estimated at $500 to SAC. 90

bered that this is the second
train handled by the Santa Fe
