tiles In Washington.

A firm in Elgin, Ill.,. recently de.
vised an advertising scheme in which
postal money orders played a part
very satisfactory to the advertisers
but somewhat upsetting to the postal
authorities.
The advertiser secured at the post
office 500 money orders for two cents
each. payable to as many individuals.
A form letter was then prepared
which notified the reader that mas
much as his time was probably worth
$4,000 year, the inclosed money or
der was to pay for the half minute
that 1t would take to read the Enclosed
circular.
AS result. practically everyone
who received a circular read 1t, but
very few of them cashed the money
orders. and in short time the postal
authorities were In serious difficulties
Every money order Issued. no matter
for how small an amount. must be
entered on the books. and If they are
not redeemed In certain time the
federal authorities must know the rea.
son why. Consequently every order
not cashed required an investigation.
AS a result each twOcent money or.
der purchased by the Elgin merchant
represented about a dollars worth OF
red tape.

HELPFUL HINTS ON HAIR
HEALTH.
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused BY Carelessness.

Dandruf is contagious disease
caused by a microbe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use a comb or
brush belonging to some one else. NO
matter how cleanIy the owner may be,
these articles may be infected with MI
crobcs, which will infect your scalp. 1t
is far easier to catch hair microbes than
it is to get rid of them, and single
stroke Of an infected comb or brush
may well lead to badness. Never try
on anybody else's hat. Many hat
band Is resting place for microbes.
Ii you happen to be troubled with
dandrutf, itching scalp. falling hair or
badness, we have a remedy which we
believe will completely relieve these
troubles. We are so sure of this that
we offer it to you with the understand
ing that it will cost You nothing for the
trial if does not produce the results we
claim. This remedy is called Rexall
'93" Hair Tonic. We honestly believe
it to be the most scientific remedy for
scalp and hair troubles, and we know
of nothing else that equals it for effec-
tiveness, because of the results it has
produced in thousands of cases.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is devised to
to Danish dardruff, restore natural COL
or when its loss has been brought!about
by disease, and make the hair natural
Iy silky, soft and glossy. 1t does this
because it stimulates the hair fOllicles,
destroys the germ matter, and brings
about a free, healthy circulation of the
blood, which nourishes the hair roots,
causing them to tighten and grow new
hair. We want everybody who has any
trouble with hair or scalp to know that
we think that Rexall "93" Hair Tonic
is the best hair tonic and restorative
in existence, and no one should scott at
or, doubt this statement until they have
put our claims to fair test, with the
understanding that they pay US moth
ing for the remedy if it does not give
full and complete satisfaction in every
particular. Two sizes, SO cents and
$l.OO. Remember, you can obtain Rex
all Remedies in Cresco only at our
