The Cash Tax system.

One of the progressive measures of
the 1911 legislature was the passage of
law, Chapter 500, Laws of 1911,
whereby county boards are enabled by
a majority vote of all the members to
adopt the cash system of paying the
highway taxes in all the towns of the
county.
About one half of the counties of the
state took advantage of this measure at
the recent county board meetings
among which are, Ashland, Barron,
Buffalo, Chippewa, Columbia, Dane,
Douglas, Eau Claire, Florence, Grant,
Green, Green Lake, Juneau, Kenosha
Lafayette, Lincoln, Marinette Pierce,
Portage, Price, Racine, Rock, Rich
land, Waupaca, Vernon, Trempea-
leau, Walworth Waukesha, Waushara
and Winnebago. The old system Of
working ont the road tax has proved
inefficient and not productive Of the
best results. Men who work out their
road taxes do so usually without much
feeling of responsibility.
Within the last few years, most Of
the states have abandoned this practice,
and the few states that remain under
the old system are fast abolishing il &;
and Wisconsin will soon be among that
number.

Old sows are often made to walk one
half mile for their grain. In other
words, grain Is stored half mile
away from their sleeping quarters,
and they are fed at that point once or
twice each day. AS the result of IDS

HELPFUL HINTS ON HAIR
HEALTH
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by CarlesSnsSS

DandruH is contagious disease
caused by a microbe which also pro
duces badness. Never use comb or
brush belonging to some one else. No
matter how clearly the owner may be,
these articles may be infected with
microbes, which will infect your scalp.
1t is far easier to catch hair microbes
than to get rid of them, and single
stroke of an infected comb or brush
may lead to badness. Never try on
anybody else's hat. Many a hat band
is a resting place for microbes.
If you happen to be troubled with
dandrutf, itching scalp, falling hair or
badness, we have remedy which we
believe will completely relieve these
troubles. We are so sure of this that
it will cost you nothing for the trial if
it does not produce the results we
claim. The remedy is called Rexall
''93' Hair Tonic. We honestly believe
it to be the most scientific remedy for
scalp and hair trouble, and we know of
nothing else that equals it for effective
hess, because of the results it has pro-
duced in thousands of cases.
Rexall Hair Tonic is devised to ban
ish dandruff, restore natural color when
its loss has been brought about by dis
ease. and disease, and make the hair
naturally silky, soft and glossy. 1t does
this because it stimulates the hair fol-
licles, destroys the germ matter and
brings about free, healthy circulation
of the blood, which nourishes the hair
roots, causing them to tighten and grow
new hair. We want everybody who
has any trouble with hair or scalp to
know that we think Rexall '93' Hair
Tonic is the best hair tonic and restor-
alive in existence, and no one should
scott at or doubt this statement until
they have put our claims to fair test,
with the under standing that they pay
us nothing for the remedy if it does not
give full and complete satisfaction in
every particular Two sizes, so cents
and $1.00. Remember, you can obtain
