ANOTHER WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.

Electricity, telephones, airships
and all the wonderful inventions
of this scientific age seemed i'm
possible a few years ago. But it
seems there is nothing so i'm
possible but what some scientist
will discover the means of accom-
plishment. Prof. Emerson has now
discovered preparation which
will really grow hair. Iowa peo-
pie are amazed and astounded oy
Emerson's new discovery for the
hair. Emerson said that one bot
tie OF his new discovery would
grow a full head of hair and re-
store gray or faded hair to it's
natural color. The people did
not believe him. 1t was too much
to expect and too good to be true.
They had tried all the highly ad-
vertised hair restorers and had
always been disappointed and they
could not believe one bottle would
really grow a full head Of hair.
But now comes the most startling
part of all-for Emerson proved
it = yes, absolutely proved it.
What do you think he did? He
made the bold and remarkable
statement that he would give five
dollars to any person who used
one bottle of his new discovery
and failed to secure a new and
satisfactory growth of hair. The
people We're astounded by the un-
heard OF offer, but they knew that
he was financially responsible and
would do as he agreed II it cost
him his fortune. Thousands
bought bottles OF his new dis

HAZARD Of SOLDIER
LESS THAN POLICE
OFFICER SAVES cHILDREN's
LIVES, BUT IS EGEcTRocuTEp
FOR HIS BRAVERY.

When a soldier or officer in the
killed as result Of service, he or his
family receives a pension from the
government. Every true American be-
lieves this is proper.
But when a police officer in st.
Louis, Kansas City or st. Joseph is
disabled to the extent that he can no
longer serve on the force, even
though his injuries we're due to the
bravest and most meritorious act in
defense of public safety, he must beg
or depend upon charity. Is this right?
The soldier faces danger when in
battle, but the policeman faces 1t ev-
cry moment Of his life. His duties are
general, and no matter what the
trouble he must face 1t from the first
alarm until peace is restored.
On September 20, 1906, the young
children in a crowded part Of st.
Louis were going home from school.
Child-like, they were surging all over
the pavement, needless of danger.
Unmindful of a fallen live" electric
wire on the pavement in front Of 4311
Hunt avenue, the children were care
lessly approaching the danger. OFF,
Ger Humphrey O'Leary, in the prime
of life, 2S, was standing across the
street. The officer saw the wire
meant death to several children un-
less it was moved at once. Running
across the street, O'Leary headed of
the children and tried to keep them
back, but, child-like, they crowded
forward. Realizing that some of the
children would be killed, the officer
deliberately knocked the wire into
the street with his stick, thinking he
could better stand the charge than the
children. AS he did this the charge
knocked him to the pavement, a dead
man. The officer saved the lives of
no telling how many children, but sac
rificed his own while ON duty.
And yet the young wife and baby
Of O'Leary can not be provided for
as the wife and child of a soldier
would be, and the act of the father
was just as brave as any patriot could
perform.
Is there man in Missouri who
thinks the force of men who are sub
ject to dangers of this kind, and who
will meet them, is not worthy Of a
pension when injured?
Authority to establish the pension
is to be submitted by constitutional
amendment in November. The amend
ment will be No. l on the short bal
lot, and every patriot should vote for
it. There will be no tax on anyone
not living in the city where the pen
sion system is adopted.
The Montgomery tribune., 1910-09-23
CITIES TO CONTROL
PROPOSED PENSION
AMENDMENT HAS SANCTION OF
POLICE BOARDS AND THINK
ERS IN TOWNS.

For several years the police in St.
Louis have maintained mutual pen
sion system, but because the manage
ment is not especially provided for in
a constitutional and legal way it has
not proved as satisfactory as it
should. 1t is the duty of the state to
authorize the three large cities to es-
tablish and maintain system under
the careful eye of its financial Off
cials. The cost to the voters is moth
ing. Although the voters in the coun-
try are not in the least concerned in
the system, the pension system can
not be established without their con-
sent.
The demand upon the voters for
this consent is made by them for the
departments in st. Louis, Kansas City
and st. Joseph and by the boards and
citizens Of the three towns in touch
with the situation. Already the fire.
men in Missouri have been granted
the necessary permission to maintain
this fund.
AS the fremen's fund has the sane.
ton of the state. and is under the care
Of special board of whom the finan-
cial officials of the city are members,
there is safety check that inspires
the donors. They know that the fund
is well managed. 1t is to secure the
peoples consent to establish a similar
fund that amendment No. is submit.
ted to the voters in November. This
amendment is the first one on the
short ballot, and should be cast ia.
vorably on the amendment that heads
the list. Every voter should scratch
the word mo" and leave the word
''Yes" unscratched.
There can be no such thing as q
raid on the treasury as the result OF
the adoption of the amendment, for
the establishment of rules and regu.
lations Is left to the city government
And the city government will do moth.
ing to injure itself.
In fact, never more than one police
officer in fifty viii have cause to re.
ceive assistance. The amendment il
intended as an assistance to those DO
lice officers who, while on duty, are
critically injured or manned for life,
The amendment carries the indorse
