WHAT ADVERTISING DOES

Publicity eliminates pretence.
Falsehood makes for friction. Truth
and love are lubricants.
Where many people are involved
nothing goes but truth.
The sunlight of publicity destroys
the ptomaines of fraud. The faker
withers before the fact
AS the planets are held In place
through opposition of forces, so are
men held IN the straight and narrow
way to truth through public opinion.
The advertisers of America are
great and important factors in the
process of making men unionists.
The ad-crafters stand for ethics in
the highest sense, and also they
stand for effectiveness and efici-
ency.

BORROWED MONEY 70 GET HOME

Several would-be sports got
badly stung on chance game az
the circus grounds Tuesday. The
game was a gambling one, pure and
simple, where one bets on a bird In
whose mouth is number. The
would were playing this game
and so long as they won, were per
fectly satisfied and thought the
game the finest In the world. O.
course the proprietor was not in the
business to give money away so
after bit the luck changed and the
fellows lost steadily. Then they
became disguised with the game
and SAID that such thing should
not be allowed. They came to the
chief about 1t but upon their saying
that as long as they had won they
did not think it Necessary to have
him arrested he declined to do any
thing In the matter but advised
them to borrow the money to gel
back home on and remember this
experience before trying to best a
System" again.

A GREAT DISCOVERY.
Certain Ingredients That Really Pro-
mote Hair Growth When
Properly Combined.

Resorcin is one of the most effec-
tive germ destroyers ever discovered
by science, and in connection with
Beta Napthol, which Is both germi-
cidal and antiseptic, combination
is formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair of its natural
nourishment, and also creates a
clean, healthy condition of the scalp,
which prevents the development of
new germs.
Pilocarpin, although not a color
ing matter or dye, is we'll known
ingredient for restoring the hair to-
its natural color, when the loss Of
hair has been caused by a disease Of
the scalp.
These ingredients in proper CONF
bination, with alcohol added as
stfWnlant and for its well defined
nourishing properties, perfect per-.
haps the most effective remedy that
IS known for scalp and hair troubles.
We have remedy which is CHIEFLY
composed of these ingredients, in
combination with other extremely
invaluable medicinal agents. We
guarantee II to positively cure dand-
ruff and to grow hair, even though
the scalp i'm spots is bare of hair.
II there is any vitality left in the
roots, it viii positively cure bald
ness, or we viii refund your money.
If the scalp has glazed, shiny ap-
pearance, it's an indication that
badness is permanent, but in other
instances we believe badness is cur
able.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease or loss of hair to try
RexalI "937 Hair Tonic. If it does
not cure dandruff and grow hair to
the satisfaction of the user, we will
without question or bubble return
every cent paid us for it. We print
this guarantee on every bottle. 1t
has effected positive cure in 90
per cent of cases where put to
practical test.
ReXall 1913" Hair Tonic is entirely
unlike, and We think, in every par
ticular, better than anything else we
know of for the purpose for which
it is prescribed. We urge you to try
this preparation at our entire risk.
Certainly we know of no better guar
antee to give you. Remember, you
can obtain Rexall Remedies in De-
corah only at our store-The Rex
all Store. T.. j. Parman's.

The annual school election will
take place one week from next Mon
day, March 18th, when two members
of the board Of education will be
elected, one by reason of the resig-
nation OF Dr. A. f. Barfoot and the
other by the expiration of the term
of F. j. Rosenthal. Mr. H. A. War
ner was elected by the board to fill
out the uneXpired term of DR.. Bar

difficult to find two better men for
the position than the two now serv-
ing. Both are interested in the

have given excellent service.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.
Items of Interest From the DEBORAH
High School, Reported by Our
Special Correspondent.

The high school operetta is pro-
crossing rapidly, and will be given
at the Grand opera house the second
week in April.
The programs given by the liter
airy societies last Thursday were
thoroughly enjoyed by every one
present.
Each room in the DEBORAH public
schools celebrated Washington s
birthday.
There is one way, and one way
only, to protect ourselves as a ma
ton against ignorant, foolish and
dangerous legislation, and that is by
the education of all youths of the
land, in the lowest as we'll as in the
highest schools, in the fundamental
principles of good government, and
by the installation of the duty of
intelligent citizenship. Listen to the
words of Washington, Promote
then, as an object of primary i'm
portance, institutions for the general
diffusion of knowledge, in proportion
as the structure of q government
gives force to public opinion; it is
essential that public opinion should
be enlightened. Teach the children,
let the man go If you can hold the
children. 1t is the child of today
that holds in his small hand the
future of our country"
