ARE MICROBES IN YOUR
SCALP?
1t Has Been Proved That Microbes
Cause Balduess.

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and Dr. Sabourand, the lead
ing French dermatologist, discover
ed that nicrobe causes badness.
Their theory has time and again
been amply verified through re-
search experiments carried on UNI
der the observation of eminent SCI
entists This microbe lodges in the
Sebum, which is the natural hair
oil, and when permitted TO flourish
it destroys the hair follicles and in
time the pores entirely close and
the scalp gradually takes on shiny
appearance. Wien this happens
there is no hope of the growth of
hair being revived.
We have a remedy which will,
we honestly believe remove dam
drUff, exterminate the microbe, pro-
mote 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 our statement with
our own personal guarantee that
this remedy called Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic will be supplied free of all
CO y the user if it fails to do as
We state.
1t will frequently help to restore
gray vnd faded hair to its original
color, providing loss of color has
been caused by disease; yet it is in
no sense a dye. Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic accomplishes these results by
aiding 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 prom
ises-we simply ask you to give
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic thorough
trial and if not satisfied tell us and
We will refund the money you paid
us for it. Two sizes, prices so cents
and $100. Remember. you can OBJ
tain it in Monroe City only at our

Shade in Poultry Runs.

If your poultry yards are perma-
nent, be sure that provision is
made for shade. Plant low growing
shrubs and bushes, and border
them with a row of sunfiowers.
Pear and plum trees do specially
well in poultry runs Until natural
shade can be grown, provide board
shelters resting on the ground on
the south side and propped up on
the north side. Hop vines. if train
ed over a shelter, make a good
shade. Tall Scotch kale makes
shade if the chickens allow it to
grow; it is very good forage crop
for adult fowls.
The advantage of portable runs
in connection with colony houses is
that the chickens are easily, moved
to place where pasture is good
and there is no need of spadine up
the yard or otherwise sweetening
it. Wallaces Farmer.

The Year of No Summer.


The year 1916 was known through
out the United States and Europe as
the coolest ever experienced by any
person then living. There are per-
sons in Northern New York who
have been in the habit Of keeping
diaries for years, and it is from the
pages of an old diary begun in 1910
and kept unoroken until 1910 that
the following information regarding
this year without a summer has
been taken: ,
January was so mild that most
persons allowed their fires TO 60 out
and did not burn wood except for
cooking. There we're a few cold
days but they were very few, Most
of the tine the air was warm and'
springlike. Febra,,. .S,-.'tJt,an ,.
Some days were colder than any in
January, but the weather was
about the same. March, from the
first to the sixth, was inclined to
be windy 1t came in like small
lion and went out like very inno-
cent sheep
April came in warm, but as the
days grew longer the air grew cold
er, and by the 1st of May there was
temperature like that of winter
with plenty of snow and ice. In
May the young buds were frozen
dead, ice formed half an inch thick
on ponds and rivers, corn was kill
ed and the cornields were planted
again and again, until itbeCame too
late to raise a crop. BY the last of
May in this climate the trees are
usually in leaf and birds and flow
ers are plentiful. When the last of
May arrived in 1916 everything had
been killed by the cold.
June was the coolest month of
roses ever experienced in this lati-
tude, Frost and ice were as COM
mon as buttercups usually are. AL
most every green thing was killed;
all fruit was destroyed. Snow fell
10 inches deep in Vermont. There
was a seven-inch fall in the interior
of New York State and the same in
Massachusetts,. There were only a
few moderately warm days. Every
body looked, longed aud waited for
warm weather, but warm weather
did not come
1t was also dry; very little rair
fell. All summer long the wind blew
steadily from the north in blasts
laden with snow and ice. Mothers
knit socks Of double thickness TO
their children, and made them thicl
mittens. Planting and shiverinl
were done together. and the farmer
who worked out their taxes on tn
