A BALD-HEADED WOMAN
ShOrn of Her Crown of Beauty, Loses
in Love and Marriage

Hair is certainly most necessary to
woman. Who could love and marry
a bald-headed woman? What charms
could one array to Offset such a dis
! tigurement?
A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her crowning glory is
her hair. The loss of her hair mars
her beauty, happiness, and success.
Yet, right here in Rochester. there
are thousands of women who are
neglecting or injuring their hair to
such an extent that it is only mat
ter of time when it will be utterly
ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty of
their hair through thouhtlessness or
ignorance of certain facts. They use
curling irons Oyer-heated or to eX-
cess, which destroys the natural oil
of the hair, causing it to split, break
and come out. They do not shampoo
their hair often enough or too often.
They use soaps or preparations
which contain ingredients positively
harmful to the scalp and hair
AS a result of such treatment, dan
drutf is created, the hair loosens,
loses color, falls out, and badness
commences, unless proper and
prompt precautions are taken in time.
Then again, microbes and certain dis
eases bring about unhealthy SCALP
and hair conditions.
Almost any woman may rid her
self of dandruff and diseased SCALP
and hair if she will but use the right
remedy. We have that remedy, and
we will positively guarantee that it
will either cure dandruff and bald
ness or it will not cost the user any
thing.
That's a pretty broad statement,
but we will back it and prove it with
our own money. We will return
your money if you do not find that
ReXall "93' Hair Tonic is an entirely
satisfactory remedy that will pro-
mote hair growth and overcome SCALP
and hair troubles; that it will grow
hair even on bald heads, unless all
life in the hair roots has been eXtin-
guished, the follicles closed, and the
scalp is glazed and shiny. 1t gets its
name from the fact that it grew hair
in SO out OF 100 vases, where it re-
ceived a thoroughly hard, impartial,
and practical test.
We want you to try Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic at our risk. You surely
cannot lose anything by doing so,
while you have everything to gain.
You had better think this over, and
then come in and see us about this
offer You will be well repaid for

supreme court of Iowa in Hender-
shott V. Ottumwa, 46 Iowa 65S; 26
Am. Rep. 1872, says: 1T is well set
tied that If in making changes in the
natural surface of the streets, the city
is negligent in construction, so that
the adjacent lots are injured by rea-
son Of such negligence, the city is
liable for such injury" The same
court further says in Hume v. Des
Moines, 125 N. w. $40, S54. that "As
the city had power to grade and gut
ter its streets, 1t is not liable for
defective plans, for in adopting them
1t acts in a judicial capacity. But
1t is liable If it negligently carries
out such plans, or without the adop-
tion of any plans, 1t proceeds in a
negligent manner to make embank-
ments or fills to the injury of an
abutting or adjoining proprietor" Fin
ally on this point, the supreme court
of Maryland in Thillman v. Baltimore,
79 Att. 722, states the rule thus: "Al-
though the powers granted to mu-
nicipality by its charter to open,
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1911-10-20

necessarily results from the doing of
that which it was contracted or di-
rected to have done, although it is
done by a contractor unless what is
done is that which the city not only
had the right to do, but to do it in
the manner it did it." Chicago V.
Norton Milling Co., 81 Ill. App. 651.
In the case OF the City & Suburban
Ry. C. Moores, 40 Am. st. Rep. 345,
347, the rule is thus stated The
person for whom work is done may
still be liable if the injury is such as
might have been anticipated by him
as probable consequence of the work
let out to the contractor, or if it be
Of such character as must result in
creating a nuisance, or if he owes a
duty to third persons or the public
in the execution Of the work" In
Jacobs V. Fuller, 6j L. R. A. 1873, it
is held that the employer is liable for
injuries which might be reasonably
apprehended from the nature of the
undertaking although it was let to a
contractor. Again, in Thomas V. Har-
rington, 90 l.. r. A. 742, it is stated
that an employer is liable for injury
which is the direct result of the work
contracted for although it is per-
formed by contractor. In the apt
words of Lord Chief Justice Campbell
in Elliott v. The Sheffield Gas Co., 2
E. & B. 767, 'if the contractor does
the thing which he is employed to do,
the employer is responsible for that
thing as if he did it himself" See
also DeFord V. State, 30 Md. 179;
Thillman V. Baltimore, 70 Att. 722;
Hole V. Railway, H. & n Exch. 488;
McAllister V. Albany, Is Ore. 426. The
work in question lies properly within
both the eXceptionT noted-at least
within the first. 1t is plain that for
injuries resulting from work per-
formed by the contractor in the man
ner directed by the city the latter
cannot escape responsibility, neither
can it be eXonerated from liability for
what might reasonably have been ex-
pected from the manner in which it
contracted for the work to be done,
performed by an independent
contractor.
The defendant also contended at the
argument that the premises of the
plaintiff. were liable for lateral sup
port, but that would not justify the
negligent application of a load far
beyond the capacity of the soil to
neither does the evidence
in the case or the findings of fact
Justify the conclusions that this was
an inevitable accident. The court has
found the facts that the execution of
the work was negligent and was the
5uperinducing cause of the damage.
The judgment of the court below
was not erroneous as charged and |
should be affirmed 1t is so ordered. |
