stems are washed daily, and fresh water
added. they will keep for quite a long
time.
Regardless OF the season of the year,
reed and wicker furniture Is always
popular in the bed room. Its use in
other parts of the household is usually
dependent upon whether or not it is
summer, but because Of the weight,
comfort, and the fact that 1t lends itself
readily to cretonne coverings, 1t Is used
consistently in the boudoir.
Many of the pieces Of reed and wicker
furniture sold by the house furnishing

TO GROW HAIR ON
A BALD HEAD
RYA SPECIALIST


Thousands of people suffer from bald
ness and falling hair who, having tried
nearly every advertised hair tonic and
hair-grower without results, have re-
signed themselves to badness and its at
tendant comfort Yet their case Is not
hopeless; the following simple home pre-
scription has made hair grow after years
of badness, and Is also unequalled for
restoring gray hair to it's original color.
stopping hair from falling out. and de-
stroying the dandruff germ. 1t will not
make the hair greasy, and can be put up
by any druggist Bay Rum, ounces;
Lavona de Composee, . ounces; Menthol
Crystals, one-half drachm. If you wish
1t perfumed, add half to one teaspoonful
OF To- o-kalon Perfume, which unites per-
fectly with the other ingredients. This
preparation is highly recommended by
physicians and specialists, and Is abso-
lutely harmless, as II contains none of
the poisonous wood alcohol so frequently
found in hair toncs. Do not apply to
the face or where hair Is not desired
Before publication we presented this
prescription to O'Donnelis Pharmacy,
this city, and they state that they have
filled 1t many times for their patrons,
who report most astonishing results

land boom is on and the results are
following In this connection he
says:
This valley right about Carson

ton, as water is nearer the surface,
and the farmer has power on both

it down that the people are slipping

IS WRONG
IN PROFITS
An Example Cited by
Carson Woman

The merchants of this city dealing
in all class of goods should be able
to undersell the merchants OF Rene
and there are several reasons why
this is so. but there seems to be
something wrong along the line
somewhere.
Not long ago a Reno groceryman
was in this city and made the Stat>-
ment that on a twenty-dollar order
he would pay the fare Of the pur-
chaser from this city to Reno and
return. provide good dinner in Re
no and save them money beside II
this is the case there is a big differ
ence i'll the price OF groceries in the
two towns. with the advantage i'll ia

the other way.
\ lady. longtime resident OF this
city. reports that last week she went
to Reno. purchased all kinds Of ar
ticles. dry goods. groceries, fruit,
vegetables. meat. and even a turkey.
and after paying her fare. eating d1r
ner at a good restaurant she saved
$975 above what the bill OF gooo,
was listed to her in Carson. The
lady says she kept close tab on the
transaction and as she tells it hen
self and brought the goods home
with her, there is no reason to dis
believe the story.
Some OF the Carson merchants
say that it cannot be done and there
is both sides of the matter. Neve,
theless it is a we'll known fact that
many people of this city do a great
amount OF trading in the neighboring
city and there must be 4 reason for
it The lady above referred to de-
clares that she was attracted to Re
no by the advertisements in the
papers. and there is another stol-
