he believes he has succeeded quite
we'll in the brief three months. He
has made over two hundred pastoral
calls in the pursuance of this plan.
The growing attendance in the
church service has been a matter of
great satisfaction; in each point the
increase has been large enough to
cause encouragement. 1t is earnest
ly hoped that this increase will con-
tinue throughout the year. The Sun
day schools are doing their work and
much can be said of the faithfulness
and in some instances the sacrifice
of the officers and teachers. The
school at WATERFOWL has had the
largest growth without any contest
or other artificial means of forcing
up the attendance. The growth of the
school has been happy, healthy and
continuous one during the quarter.
The schools at Hampton and East
Moline have at least held their own
and have accomplished good work.
Six letters have come for the church
at East Moline. Others are either
coming or are in the hands of the
people in both East Moline and Wa
tertown. There are some lettrs that
we hope to have placed in the Hamp-
ton church within a comparatively
short time. Mrs. Holt of Moline, a
sister of Mrs. Drury of Hampton,
made a most welcome Christmas
present to the Watertown church of
81 of the new Methodist hymnals.
They are a great aid to our worship
there and she has the honest and
| heartfelt gratitude of that church
| There have been no deaths in the
membership and no letters have been
granted. The harmony to be found
| in each church is a cause of thanks
giving to God. We have every rea.
son TO hope and believe this will con.
tinue. Within the past quarter a
young peoples society has been or
ganized at Hampton. The society is

excellent meetings and has provided

BALD HEADS NOT WANTED
Badness is Too Generally Considered
Sign of Advanced Age.

Badness is Too Generally Considered
Sign of Advanced Age.
A bald-headed person does not have
an equal chance with one blessed with
a healthy head of hair, because bald
ness is too generally accepted as an
indication of age Many large corpor-
atoms have established an age limit,
and refuse to take men over 80 years
of age as new employees.
Probably 65 per cent of bald-headed
people may regain good head of
healthy hair if they will follow our ad-
vice and accept our offer. We have a
remedy that we positively guarantee
to grow hair on any head, unless the
roots of the hair are entirely dead,
become glazed and shiny. We want
people to try this remedy at our risk,
with the distinct understanding that
unless it does exactly what we claim
it will, and gives satisfaction in every
respect, we shall make no charge for
the remedy used during the trial.
We know exactly what we are talk
ing about, and with this offer back of
our statements no one should scoff,
doubt our word, or hesitate to put our
remedy to an actual test
We want every one in Rock Island
who is suffering from any scalp or hair
trouble, dandruff, falling hair, or bald
ness, 10 try out Rexall "93" Hair Ton
ic. We want them to use it regularly
say until three bottles have been
used-and if it does not eradicate dan
druff, cleanse and refresh the scalp,
| tighten the hair in its roots, and grow
new hair, we will return every cent
paid US for the remedy for the mere
asking. There is no fOrmality expect
ed, and We exact no obligation from
the user whatever.
We are established right here in
| Rock Island, and make this offer with
a full understanding that our business
success depends upon the sort of treat
ment we accord our customers. and
Ge would not dare make the above
oifer unless We were positively certain
that we could substantiate it in every
particular. Remember. you can obtain
