by Jas. r. Mcgowan, of this city,
finished third. Miss Stokes, first;
Justice Brooks, second. The
horse received bad start in the
irst heat, being sent off five
lengths behind, but finished a
close third. Ia the second heat he
and Miss Stokes finished right to-
gether, but the judges gave the
heat to Miss Stokes, although the
four timers said Mainleaf won the
heat. The colt being short of
work Mr.. Curtis did not push him
in the third heat. The best time
made in the race was 2:O84. 1t
was the opinion Of a large number
of the horsemen present that
Mainleaf secured a very raw deal,
both in the start and in the de-
clslon in the second heat, and it is
predicted that when they meet
again he will take their measures.

The Home Paper For Absent Ones.

In almost every home there is
an absent one who is off at college,
school or in business. If that
loved one is not receiving the
home paper, he is being deprived
of great deal of pleasant news.
Why not send him or her the
ADVOCATE for year9 1t will
certainly be a most welcome gift
and it's coming each week will be
almost as good as the letters from
home. 1t costs only two cents a
week and will give a dollars worth
of pleasure every time it comes.
Write to the absent members of
your family and ask them if they
wish it sent. But you can save
time and delay by subscribing for
them at once, for we are certain
what the answer will be. If you
want the paper sent only during
the time the college or school is
in session we will arrange to do
this, thus sending the paper only
while the addressee is away from
home. Does your neighbor bor-
row your ADVOCATE every week (!
Suggest to him that he subscribe
and thereby have one of his own.

the largest subscription list, but
the largest business of any paper

AND ITCHING
SCALP YIELD TO
ZENO TREATMENT

Why should yOu continue to eXper-
iment with salyes, greasy lotions and
fancy hair dressing trying to rid your
scalp of germ life. Thty can't do it
because they cannot penetrate to the
seat of the trouble and draw the germ
life to the surface Of the scalp and
destroy it.
Why not try a PROVEN REMEDY
One that will do this. We have a rem
tidy that will rid the scalp of germ life
and in this way will cure DANDRUFF
and ITCHING SCALP.
This remedy is ZEMO, clean, re-
fined, penetrating scalp tonic that
goes right to the seat of the trouble
and drivts the germ life to the sur
face and destroys it.
A shampoo with ZEMO ANTISEP-
TIC SOAP and one application OF
ZEMO will entirely rid the scalp OF
dandruff and scurf. Do not hesitate
but get a bottle of ZEMO today 1t
acts on a new principle and will do
exactly what we claim for it.
