great possibilities respecting the good
or evil Of their children. This respon-
sib1lity should be felt in mating-be-
fore marriage. We are not urging that
marriage should be put upon the same
plane as stock breeding. and the finer
sentiment disrega-ded; but we do claim
that the spirit Of sound mind should
be sought in connection with the most
important contract Of life, affecting
not only the destiny and happiness OF
the pair, but also of their offspring.
Is it any wonder that children are
born nervous and peevish when we
know that the mother In bearing them
was fretted and annoyed in a thousand
ways? Is 1t any wonder that children
are born to heritage Of passion, anger
and lust, when we think Of the expert
ences Of their mothers which are thus
impressed upon them? Surely ali par
ents of reasonable judgment, under
standing these matters, would lay prop
er foundations for character in their
children-foundations upon which, sub
sequently, they would patiently. care
fully and lovingly develop their chill
dren along the lines Of the highest
standards Of righteousness and the
beauty of holiness and loyalty to the
Creator! But while this should be the
endeavor of all, when could we hope
ever to bring the world into a condi'
ton to desire and strive for such re.
suits! Never! Hope for the world
would die were 1t not based upon the
sure Word of the Lord, which prom
ises mankind help from on High In the
great Kingdom of Messiah.

FOR YOUR HEALTH.
Here Are Facts We Want You to
Prove at Our Risk.

When the roots of the hair are
entirely dead and the pores OF the
scalp are glazed over, we do not be-
lieve that anything can restore hair
growth.
But, when the hair roots retain
any life, we believe there Is nothing
that will so surely promote hair
growth as will Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic. To prove this statement, we
promise to promptly return all the
money you paid us for Rexall "93"
Hair Comic, should it not please you.
Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic destroys
the germs which are usually respon-
sfble for badness. 1t penetrates to
the roots of the hair, stimulating
and, by promoting circulation, nour-
ishing them.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic helps to-
relieve scalp irritation, to remove
dandruff, to prevent the hair from
falling out, and to promote an in
creased growth of hair. 1t comes in
two sizes, prices so cents and $1.00.
Remember, you can obtain it only at
