A GREAT DISCOVERY
Certain Ingredients United Really
Promote Hair Growth

Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyer discovered by science
and in connection with Beta Napthol,
which is both germicidal and antiseptic,
a combination is formed which DESTROYS
the germs which rob the hair of its
natural n%ourishment, and also creates a
clean, healthy condition of the scalp,
which prevents the developements of
new germs.
Pllocarpin, although not a coloring
matter or dye, is a well-known ingre-
dent for restoring the hair to it natural,
color, when the loss of hair has been
caused by a disease of the scalp.
These ingredients in proper combina-
ton, with alcohol added as a stimulant
and for its well-detined nourishing
properties, perfect perhaps the most
effective remedy that is known for
scalp and hair trouble.
We have a remedy which is chiefly
composed of these in%gredints, in COM
bination with other extremely invalu-
able medicinal agents. We guarantee it
to positively cure dandruff and to grow
hair, even through the scalp IN spots is
bare of hair. If there is any vitality
left in the roots, it will positively cure
badness, or we will refund your money
If the scalp has a glazed, shiny appear
ance, it's an indication that badness is
permanent, but in other instances we
believe badness is durable.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease or loss of hair to try Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic. If 1t does not cure
dandruf and grow hair to the salts

A Small Bows Invention.

Sir Hiram Maxim began to invent
almost as soon as he could lisp. When
but a small boy he invented a sort of
sextant made Of wood. with sights, a
piece of thread with a bullet at the
end and an indicator for the thread
to swing along. On a dark night he
took his instrument outside, and while
he sighted it to the north star his lit
tie sister read the indicator. "Forty-
five, Hiram she called out. This
meant they were living in 45 degrees
north latitude. The observation prov
ed to be perfectly accurate.

Cats In Ancient Euvpt,

The ancient Egyptians treated cats
with great distinction. 1t was a crime
to kill them, and when they died they
received a public burial, at which the
people mourned, having first shaved
off their eyebrows as a token of sor-
row. The most prominent cats were
upon death embalmed in drugs and
spices, and cat mummies have been
found side by side with those Of kings.

SPICY SPORT CHATS
By TOMMY CLARK.

by lONF11 CLARK.
While it is unnecessary for the au.
thoritieS to prevent the averag, box
ing bout on the ground of threatened
brutality, yet in the case of the pro.
posed encounter between Jack John
son and jim Flynn the Nevada Off
Gals would be entirely justified in in
~tervening, not because of any danger
of brutality, but because it would be a
deliberate attempt to obtain money un-
der false pretenSeS. When two pugil-
lists are matched and the public is
asked to pay to see them in the ring
the Inference is that the ticket buyers
are to have Il fair return for their
money. The match should be one in
which each contestant, on form at
least, has 4 chance to win. True, there
have been many bouts in which the
contestants were apparently well
matched, but in which one or the other
of the boxers has been overwhelmed
by his opponent.
But in the case of Johnson and
Flynn the Pueblo fireman has no more
chance to win than a white mouse
would have against a Maltese cat of
the female persuasion.
The records Of the men. their weight.
size, boxing skill, ring generalship and,
In fact. all pugilistic qualifications, are
so unequal that no n would be justi-
fed in betting a stage dollar on the
chances of the white man.
The whole thing is merely a scheme
to get the money Of the public through
the medium of the reputation Of John
son.
When Bill Donovan, the star pitcher
Of the Detroit Americans, gave it as
his opinion that big Ed Walsh was the
best pitcher in the world he stepped on
the toes Of the New York critics, who
naturally think that this honor belongs
to Christy Mathewson. and yet Dono-
vans assertion is well based. There Is
no pitcher who has worked in as many
games every season as Walsh. Though
he has had a mediocre team behind
him most of the time, he has been in
owe fifty games nearly every season.
while other pitchers seldom go much
over the thirty mark. So far as value
to a team is concerned, Walsh really is
in a class by himself. Not only does
he frequently pitch three full games
In a week. but he is apt to be used to
save two or three others that some of
the other pitchers have started.
If Walsh was with a high class ball
team he would make a wonderful rec
ord in the matter of victories. but the
SoX. with one or two exceptions, have
been a rather poor ball team every
season. Even in 1906. when the Sox
won the pennant, it was far from be-
ing a team Of stars. and it was Walsh
more than any one else who was re-
sponsible for his teams victory that
year.
When Abe Attell embarked on his
career he was handled by Jack Nc

youth: held both hands up. signifying
a draw. In a flash McKenna was in
the ring with both fists doubled.
Rushing over to the official, he yelled.
"Hey, you boob, what did you say"
The frightened referee gave Nc

If you want to carry a full pail Of
