Hair
FaM;nq?

You certainly cannot lose
your hair and keep it, too.
Which shall it be? Lose?
Then do nothing. Keep?
Then use Ayers Hair Vigor.
That is about all there is to
it Ayers Hair Vigor is also
a splendid hair-dressing and
Ea;r-tonic. 1t keeps the hair
soft and smooth and greatly
p omotes its growth. 1t does
not color the hair. Consult
your doctor freely, Doctors
are stu dying these hair
questions much more than
in former days.

TAXATION or NUISANCEs.

We had thought that the adage that The
power to tax Is the power to destroy" was
well enough established to keep tho question
ing Stamp people are to take Winchester into
the Federal Court for another try at their
fort to do business against a prohibitive
license,
The better opinion of many cities ID to the
effect that the trading stamp, once so much
In vogue. Is an unmtigated nuisance In
deed, It Is claimed that its use tends to add
TO the cost of doing business, both to the
merchant and his customer. Certainly, when
the rivalry among the stamp givers breaks
out, 1t tends to the creation OF a craze that is
economically ridiculous. Time was when
everything from lemons TO collins was sold
with stamps attached, and SO great became the
desire for these commercial tokens that death
lost its sting and the grave that was covered
with red, green, gold purple trading
stamps won but sorry victory over an al
most complacent corpse
Seriously we are glad that this matter ia
to be tested in the Federal Courts and are
satisfied to believe that they will settle FOR ali
time the right OF a municipality TO impose
such taxes in the way of privilege licenses as
il sees A. In no other way can technically
lawful, but practically nuisance bringing
businesses be dealt with II a city has not
