I'm The Frozen North

Many sections of Alaska are isolated
for nine months ofthe year and must
depend upon supplies during the open
season. Almost every camp has Han
ford's Balsam for sprains bruises, in
famed sore eyes, ETC., although it
takes a year to fill the order. James
Anicich handles it at Tanana-the very
heart of Alaska--and out of his own
stock cured one woman Of a lame back
after she had been unable to stand for
two years. Another man took a guam
tity back across the mountains above
the Artic Circle to Cold Foot. The
liniment is worth its weight in gold to

will view the interior of the great

We found the governor and his ret
inue alighting from their palanquins
in the courtyard, and after exchang-
ing the customary salutation we as
cended the steps toward the door OF
the temple, which swung open at our
approach. A company Of priests, gor-
geously clad, welcomed us in the yes
tibule and conducted us into the splen-
did hall, which was dedicated to the
worship Of the god who divides with
Confucius the reverence and deVo-A
ton Of the great empire. The ornac
mentation of the interior, II not beau
tiful to western eyes, was rich be-
yond all possibility Of estimate. It
seemed to me that the glitter Of bur-
nished gold and the fash of jewels
were everywhere. At one end Of the
hall there was a gigantic sitting fig
ure Of Buddha, executed in bronze and
silver. Before it stood large square
table Of ebony, inlaid with pearl and
precious stones, and supported by four
dragons On this table, rising out Of a
half globe of iridescent glass, was a
solitary lotus flower Reposing in the
heart of the flower was yellow piece
of bone about an inch In length. It
was dark streaked and rusty and
might have been a broken piece OF
sharks tooth or the dental remnant
of horse. The company salaamed
profoundly at sight Of this aged relic,
and few prostrated themselves.
"The Sacred Tooth Of Buddha Is
ready for exhibition to his devout fol
lowers" said the governor. breaking
the silence and addressing himself to
the priests.
1T is ready" replied a voice.
Then, an hour hence, you will cause
the gates to be opened, that all who
will may come and behold, and receive
the blessing"
Ian Fu's eyes glanced FIRST at the
relic and then his gaze met mine. Mrs.
Carhart intercepted the look, and we
both understood That ugly piece OF
yellow bone was worth more than all

A Bald Headed
Woman
ShOrn Of Her Crown Of Beauty,
Loses I'm Love and Marriage

Hair is certainly most necessary to
woman. Who could love and marry
a bald-headed woman What charms
could one array to offset such a disig-
urement?
wOman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her crowning glory is her
hair. The loss of her hair mars her
beauty, happiness and success. Yet,
right here IN Celina there are thou
sands of women who are neglecting
or injuring their hair to such an ex-
tent that IL is only matter of time
" hen IL will be utterly ruined.
Many women destroy the beauty of
their hair through thoughtlessness or
ignorance of certain facts. They use
curling irons over heated, or to excess,
" hich destroys tho natural oil Of the
hair, causing it to split, break and
come out. They do not shampoo their
head often enough or too often. They
use soaps or preparations which con-
tain ingredients positively harmful to
the hair and scalp.
As a result of such treatment, dand-
ruff is created, tho hair loosens, loses
color, falls out, and badness commen-
ces, unless proper and prompt prepar-
ations are taken in time. Then again,
microbes and certain diseases bring
about unhealthy scalp and hair condi-
tions.
Almost any woman can rid herself Of
dandrun and diseased scalp and hair
If she will but use the right remedy.
We have that remedy, and we will pos
itively guarantee that IL will either
o,ra ha ia naaR and dandrnR or IL will
not cost the user anything.
That's pretty broad statement but
we back it and prove 1t with our own
money. We will return your money
If you do not find that Rexall "93"
Hair Tonic is an entirely satisfactory
remedy that will promote hair growth
and overcome scalp and hair troubles;
that IL will grow hair even on bald
heads, unless all life in the hair roots
has been extinguished, the follicles
and the scalp is glazed and shiny. 1t
gets it's name from the fact that IL grew
hair in 80 out of 100 cases where II re-
ceived thoroughly hard, impartial,
and practical test.
We want you to try Rexall SO Hair
Tonic at our risk. You surely cannot
lose anything by doing go, while you
have everything to gain. You had
better think this over and then come
in and see us about this offer. You
