ARE MICROBES IN YOUR scALPf
Il Has Been Proved that Microbes
Cause Badness.

Professor Unna Of Hamburg, Ger
many, and DR.. Sabourand, the heading
French dermatologist, discovered that
a microbe causes badness. Their the
DRY has time and again been amply
verified through research experiments
carried on under the observation Of
eminent scientists. This microbe
lodges in the bebum, which is the ma
tural hair oil, and when permitted to
flourish it DESTROYS the hair follicles
! and in time the pores entirely close,
and the scalp takes on a shiny APP
pearance. When this happens there
is no hope of the growth of hair be-
ing revived.
We have a 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 OU
own personal guarantee that this rem
edy called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic

the user II 1t fails to do as we state.
1t will frequently help to restore
gray and faded hair to its original
color, providing loss of color has been
caused by disease; yet 1t is in no
sense a dye. Rexan "93" Hair Ton
ic accomplihses these results by aid
ing in making every hair root, follicle
and pigment gland strong and active,
and by stimulating a natural flow Of
coloring pigment throughout the hair
cells.
We exact no obligations or promises
we simply ask you to give Rexan
"93" Hair Tonic a thorough trial and

MARKET LETTER.

Kansas City SUOck 1aTuS, ApIll 8,
Slim cattle receipts continue to
give evidence of baroness at the base
OF supplies. The run last week was
rs per cent less than during same
week last year. Other markets exhibit
a similar shortage, and buyers had to
come across with a rise Of % cents
in prices. A New York buyer start
ed out to fill an order for export
bulls last Tuesday, and Immediately
the bull market jumped up rs cents.
Country kinds have strengthened a
little. Receipts of that kind are de-
creasing with the spring-like weather,
which has a tendency to keep them
at home. The run today is 5000 cat
tie, and prices are strong to Is high
er on all kinds. Top price today is
$50, but prime steers would reach
$3.50. Bulk of the native steers sell
at $3.50 to S.75. Quarantine steers
sold at $40 today exactly similar to
steers in that division week ago at
$3.50, indicating a rise of so cents for
the week. Other steers there sold
up to $40, and common little steers
around $500. A train Of hay fed
steers from Baker City, Oregon, sold
here last Thursday at s7.15 and
1920, with two loads at s7.S5, the lat.
ter weighing 1417 pounds. Hay fed
steers from Colorado sold at $40 to
$7.65 here today. Native cows, little
better than Gamers, sell at $4.75 to
$500, choice cows at $500 to $3.50
heifens up to $7.25, veal calves a quar-.
ter higher today, tops $3.50, stock
steers $500 to $6.25, feeders $500
tc 1915, stock COWS and heifers 1915
to $500. Demand here is greater than
the supply, a condition that means
strong prices as long as it lasts
Hog supplies at adj markets are
now running about half to two thirds
as large as at this time a year ago
Tops have lowered around eight dol
lars for a week. and that is the top
here today. The beneficial effect o.
slim receipts on prices is partially
offset by decline in consumptivt
volume, incident to the higher prices
Dealers admit the possibility of {
few days of heavy supplies this month
and a temporary break in prices, but
the majority Of them are bulliSh il
their talk. Bulk of sales today rang
ed from $3.50 to $7.95.
Sheep and lambs advanced a quar-
ter last week, though receipts vert
fairly liberal, at 1000 head for tht
week. The run is 1000 here today
half of which is enrOute to feed lOt'
in Illinois pricac ara IN IN X hiph
er today, lambs selling at $S15, AM
some III pound ewes at 500. Year
lings are worth up to S7.25, wetheri
to $3.50, clipped stock about seventy
five cents under wooded stock. EaSt
, ern markets are bare, and strengt
ahead is the forecast by the knOwinl

COST OF CHICKEN RAISING.

What does 1t cost to go into the
chicken business? So many are fright
ened away by the wrong idea Of the
expense. They have read Of 1000
and $4,000 plants, etc. Small won
der they ane shy.
Now let me give a few figures for
those who wish to keep chickens for
revenue purposes. Suppose you start
with 100 hens. These should be OBJ
tanned for SIS; not thorOughbreds, but
"one hundred good laying hens"
Now as to the plant: Two houses
lOx12x6 to 8 feet are plenty large to
accommodate fifty hens each. These
dimensions are for a shanty roof six
feet in the rear and nine feet in front
These two houses will take about
1000 feet of sheeting and two or
three punches Of lath for battening
this, with about 300 feet Of bill stuff
and $500 Gull shingles laid four and
one-half inches to the weather, with
perhaps twenty-five pounds of nails
and spikes and couple Of dollars"
worth of whiting in lieu Of paint
This will bring the total expense Of
the two houses to approximately as
follows:

On and About the Farm
CARE FOR THE MILK.

The pure food law of Kansas re-
qutnes that sidewalk displays Of fruit
and vegetables, edible in a raw con
ditiou, be at least eighteen inches
above the level Of the ground. How
about the milk bottles and bowles and
pans?
Look at the average back porch
in the early morning and note the
empty milk bottle or bowl, set there
the night before and still waiting for
the arrival of the milkman. They are
not elevated" says D. S. Burch, state
dairy commissioner OF the Kansas Ag-
ricultural College. And If they had
been carelessly washed, the passing
cat or stray dog may have been
tempted to complete the cleaning pro
cess by licking the inside Of the bowl
or the neck of the bottle. The dust
from the street and the SCOT from the
neighbours chimneys have found a
way into the receptacle, which later
will be filled with milk.
The law does not permit the in
spection Of the home pitcher, and the
methods of caring for mink after the
milkman has delivered his product.
The purVeyer Of milk and cream is
not above suspicion in his methods.
He is watched, but he Is not respon-
sible for the contamination introduc.
ed into milk from the time it leaves
his wagon until 1t enters the human
system. During this period the house
wife or her servants are the masters
OF its destiny. In other words it may
be kept pure and sweet or it may
become a death-dealing fluid. The
housewife has a responsibility to her
self and family.
With the approach OF warm wealth
er, conductive to the development oil
germs and the more rapid souring OF
milk, the following directions are
suggested for the proper care OF milk
between the hours Of its delivery and
its consumption.
Insist on having bottled milk de
livered, cold, in tightly capped, and
clean bottles.
Provide a shelf or other elevation
at least two feet above the ground OF
porch level on which the empty, and
the full bottles may be placed.
Keep milk covered at all times
and in a cool place.
watch for sediment, or dark set
things in the bottom of the bottle.
During the fly season, place mill
and cream for table use in a syrul
pitcher with a spring cover instead
Of using the ordinary dreamer.
After milk has stood for twelv,
hours, measure the depth of tn
cream line. If in the regular styD
OF bottle, the line is less than thre
inches in depth for a quart, or tw
inches for a pint, the richness Of tn
milk probably is below standard, am
the fact should be reported to tn
state dairy commissioner at Manhat
TAM"

GARDENS ON VACANT LOTS.

Idle town lots might well be con-
Verted into pnetty flower and vegeta-
Bile gardens by the idle boys and
girls. It's good for the lots and excel
lent for boys and girls.
On that platform the extension de-
partment of the agricultural college is
campaigning in Kansas now for boys
and girls garden contests contest
or two in every town. Prizes for the
best alLaround family garden, for the
prettiest girls flower garden'-get
that straight; prettiest garden-and
prizes, also for the best potato patch,
are offered.
OF course the college can be only
a promoter in these contests; it cam
not offer cash prizes. It is urging
commercial clubs, other organizations
and individuals to assume responsible
ty tor the prizes and for starting the
competition. Flower garden contests
for girls and family garden OF potato
growing contests for boys are suggest
ed. The college will send informa-
ton about the growing of vegetables
or flowers, and blanks upon which to
record yields, sales, and other infor-
nation desired by the judges.
Contests already have been started
in some towns. For civic improvement
and for promoting civic pride, not to
mention the other advantages, the
contests have proved valuable. IN
some places this competition has beel
started in an effort to get the town
cleaned up, genenany-as a part OF a
"city beautiful" campaign. Nothing
improves a towns appearance more
than Transforming its baTe or weed
ridden lots into vegetable and flower
gaNdens.
The family garden contests are
open to boys, and girls too, between
the ages of ten and twenty, whether
in town or on the farm. The garden
plot is to be 80 by 100 feet. In this
plot are to be grown at least ten varie
ties out of a list Of sixteen of the
common varieties of vegetables. Thi
is the sixteen from which to select:
String beans, peas, radishes, lettuce
cabbage, onions, beets, sweet corn
parsnips, satisfy, carrots, tomatoes
spinach, turnips, cucumbers and pep
perS.
In-awarding the prizes these point!
are to be conSidered The tota
amount of vegetables produced, tht
cost of material and labor, and tht
method of rotation whereby tbs
ground OF plot may be made to yielt
one or more varieties of vegetable
throughout the growing season. Th'
extension department is glad to fun
niSh information about the contest
to anyone interested.

dows can be added at a further cost
to bring up the total not to exceed
