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


Resorcin is one of the most effect
i've germ destroyers ever discovered
by science, and in connection with
Beta Napthol which is both germi-
cidal and antiseptic, combination s
formed which destroys the germs
which rob the hair of it's natural
nourishment and also creates a clean,
healthy condition of the scalp, which
prevents the development of new
germs.
Pilocarpin, although not a coloring
matter or dye, is a we'll known ingre-
dent for restoring the hair to it's
natural color when the loss of hair
has been caused by a disease of the
scalp.
These ingredients in proper COM
bination, with alcohol added as a
stimulant and for its well-defined
nourishing properties, perfect per-
haps the most effective remedy that
is known for csalp and hair troubles.
We have remedy which is chiefly
composed of these ingredients, in
combination with other extremely
invaluable medicinal agents. We
guarantee it to positively cure dan
druff and to grow hair, even though
the scalp in spots is bare of hair.
If there is any vitality left in the
roots it will positively cure badness.
or we will refund your money. If
the scalp has glazed, shiny appear
ance it's an indication that badness
is permanent, but in other instances
we believe badness is durable.
We want everyone troubled with
scalp disease or loss of hair to try
Rexall "93" 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

per cent of cases put to a practical
test.
Rexall "93" 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.

antee to give you. Remember you

FROM FRONT DOOR TO GATE IS THIRTY MILES
SIZABLE YARD IN WHICH MRS KING, TEX
AS RANCH, WOMAN TAKES PRIDE

Richard King. AS a boy he was a
homeless waif on the streets If New
York. He obtained a place as a
cabin boy upon a steamship and for
years was a sea-faring man. During
the war between the United States
and Mexico he was sent to Texas as
captain of transport that conveyed
soldiers for Gen. Taylor's army and
military supplies to points along the
Texas coast.
After that war was ended he en-
gagged in steamboat traffic along the
coast for some years. He saw an OPP
pOrtunity for the cattle industry in
the south Texas region, which was
then an unfenced and unbroken will
derness of chaparal. With his young
wife he established a typical frontier
home upon the site of the present
ranch headquarters buildings.
The structure was a combined res
idence and fortress. 1t was con-
structed of stone, and in each corner
was a cannon. The cannon were
used to defend the home from at
tacks of Mexican outlaws. The an
Gent guns now ornament the beauti-
full lawn that surrounds the modern
ranch residence.
About $4,000 calves are branded
each year. More than 800 Mexican
fence riders and other en-
ployes live on the ranch and are on
the payroll.

DRAWING THE LINES TIGHTER
1T WILL NOT BE so EASY TO GET
PARDONS IN THE FUTURE,
Governor Brown Believes That En-
tirely Too Many Criminals in GeOr-
gia Escape Punishment.

gia Escape Punishment.
ATLANTA.-That Governor JOS.
NJ. Brown Believes too many pardOns
are being granted in Georgia and
that there is to be pretty strict lines
drawn in this particular during his
term is clearly indicated by his ex-
pressed views and his attitude so far.
Although very strong pressure has
been brought to bear on him by in
fiuential parties to grant a pardon
to Moss Garrison, the Atlanta youth
who wounded his employer, ]. P.
Allen, and two accountants, several
months ago, when confronted with a
charge of shortage, Governor Brown
has declined to interfere with the
courts sentence of twelve months.
The prison commission recon-
mended communication to payment of
$3.50 fine, but the governor, after
studying the record closely and prob
ing into all of the facts, came to the
conclusion that young Garrison had
received very light sentence con-
sidering the seriousness of his Of
Tense.
Governor Brown feels very strong
ly on this question of the reckless
use of firearms, and in cases where
the deadly pistol is used very strong
reasons will have to be presented
to him to secure clemency. He holds
to the view that the law abiding
members of society are more entitled
to protection and consideration than
those who violate the laws and re-
ceive the laws punishment.
AS a result of the extended confer
ence between Governor Brown and
the prison commission the present
week a set of rules will shortly be
formulated to fix the policy regard
ing pardon matters during the in
cumbency of Governor Brown, at
least. These rules, so it is under
stood, will be in the form of an exec
utiye order signed by the governor
and the prison commission, and
which will be printed and posted at
every court house in the state.
1t may be stated also as a fact
that Governor Brown does not in
tend giving one day each week to
pardon matters, but it is probable
that following each weeks work of
the pardon board the governor will
devote two days to passing On their
work. AS an aid to him in expedit-
ing the work and to prevent the
necessity of wading through long
