ARE MICROBES
IN YOUR SCALP
It Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unna Of Hamburg, Ger
many. and DR., Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
a microbe causes badness. Their
theory has time and again been amp
ly verified through research expert
ments carried on under the observa-
ton of eminent scientists. This mi
crobe lodges in the Sebum, which is
the natural hair oil, and when permit
ted to flourish 1t destroys the hair fol
Ices and in time the pores entirely
close. and the scalp gradually takes
on a shiny appearance When this
happens there is no hope of the
growth of hair being revived.
We have remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex.
terminate the microbe, promote good
circulation in the scalp and around
the hair roots, tighten and revitalize
the hair roots, and overcome badness,
SO long as there is any life left in the
hair roots.
We back up this statement with
our own personal guarantee that this
remedy called Rexall 1893, Hair Tonic
will be supplied free of all cost to the
user If it fails to do as we state.
1t will frequently help to restore
gray and faded hair to it's original
color, providing loss of color has been
caused by disease; yet it is in no
sense dye. Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
accomplishes these results by aiding
in making every hair root, follicle.
and pigment gland strong and active,
and by stimulating natural flow of

THINK GROCERY Boy
CAUSE OF FIRE
VIM. o. Francis Back Porch on North
Seventh Was Blazing at One


The chemical engine was used in
putting out fire on the under side
and supports of the back porch at
the VIM. o. Francis home, 119 North
Seventh street this afternoon at /
o'clock. Those living there say they
believe burning match thrown down
by the grocery deliveryman after
lighting a cigar, set the place afire.
There was some alarm at first as a
coal oil and gasoline can were under
meath the porch in the heart of the
fire which licked the porch rapidly at
the southeast end. The kerosene can
was filled but luckily the >lsoline
can was empty and an explosion
probably averted. The house is the
property of Mrs. Maxwell Two or
three dollars will cover the damage
resulting from the small fire.
