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

Dandruff is a contagious dis
ssse caused by a microbe which
also produces badness. Never
lse a comb or brush belonging to
come one else. No matter how
cleanly the owner may be, these
articles may be infected with mi
,robes. which will infect your
.ealp. 1t is far easier to catch
hair microbes than it is to get
i'd Of them, and a Shingle stroke
ofan infected comb or brush may
well lead to badness. Never try
on anybody else's hat. Many a
bat.band is a resting place for
microbes.
Iryol happen to be troubled
with dandruf', itching scalp, fall
inc hair or badness, we have a
remedy which we believe will
completely relieve these troubles.
We are 50 sure of this that we
offer it to you with the UNDER
standing that it will cost you
nothing for the trial if it does
not produce the results we claim.
This remedy is called Recall
''93" Hair Tonic. We honestly
believe it to be the most scientific
remedy for scalp and hair trou-
bles, and we know of nothing
else that equals it for effective
ness, because Of the results it Las
produced in thousands Of cases.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is de-
vised to Danish dandruff, restore
natural color when its loss has
been brought about by diseases,
and make the hair naturally
silky, soft and glossy. 1t does
this because it stimulates the
hair follicles, destroys the germ
matter, and brings about a free,
healthy circulation of 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 that
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is tn
best hair tonic and restorative in
existence, and no one should
scott at or doubt this statement
until they have put our claims to
a fair test, with the understand
ing 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.

WONDERFUL SURGICAL
TEST and OPERATION
With The Stomach Of Ape Placed
In Human Being.
Worn Out Stomach Replaced by
Surgeons il. Paris Hospital

Trading his old and worn-out
stomach for the new and healthy
one Of an anthropoid ape, Pierre
Laurent, after resting few days in
the hospital, tested his new digest
i've apparatus by becoming intoxi-
Gated. The young farmer got him
self s'as full as goat but the stom-
ach stood the test and, aside from a
slight wabble in, his walk, Laurent
Is as we'll as ever.
The surgical operation, perform
ed by DIR. Routes at the hospital of
Agen, Is the sensation of Paris.
The famous surgeon took the entire
stomach from the young farmer,
and when the organ was found to
be worn out it was replaced by the
complete stomach of the ape. Lau-
rent, who is prosperous farmer Of
Agen, remained in the hospital
twenty-five days, at the end of
which time he was eating the keav-
lest of foods with perfect ease. His
stomach, which was from an ape
two years old, fitted 90 perfectly in
to the 27-year-old interior of the
patient that it withstood the sur
charge of liquor without a protest.
DR.. Roulies speaks with certainty
OF the benefits of his surgica! dis
covery and is preparing a paper to
be presented to the Academy of Med
icine on the subject.

WILLIAM R. THOMPSON
A Biographical sketch OF the Man
Whom the People OF West viz
ginia VIII Elect Governor
This Autumn.

Hon. w. r. Thompson, the Dem
ocratic nominee for Governor, is
one of the best known citizens Of
West Virginia. For many years he
has been recognized as one Of the
leaders of the state bar, and he has
lone been prominent in Democratic
politics. He is native Of Kama
wha county, having been born at the
mouth Of Coal river in 1856.
He was the first graduate Of the
law school at the University OF West
Virginia, receiving his honors there
in 1873 At the next general cleo
ton he was named as prosecuting
attorney of Summers county, his
home at that time being in Hinton.
He was the first assistant district
attorney in West Virginia; having
been appointed to serve as such un-
der Gen. G. G. Watts during the
first administration OF Cleveland.
In 1888 he was elected member
of the house of delegates from Sum
mers county.
In 1902 Mr.. Thompson went to
Huntington and entered into the

The second member OF
the firm died and the firm became
Vinson & Thompson, .as which it
continues in existence today. Out
side OF being a delegate to the Dem
yer convention, which nominated
Bryan in 1908, he has not been
honored by his party since going to
In 1904 his name was
presented to the state convention for
governor, but after one of the most
remarkable convention battles in
the history Of the party, the honor
fell to Hon. John J. Cornwell When
the matter of choosing Democratic
United States senator arose at the
last regular session of the legisla-
ture, the name Of Thompson was
suggested in many parts Of the
state, although Mr.. Thompson was
at no time candidate.
Besides his known ability as q
lawyer and business man, Mr.
Thompson is man OF pleasing and
lmpressing personality. His manner
and bearing are distinguished and
graceful, but he is, at all times. ap-
proachable and cordial. His per-
sonality is picturesque, 80 much SO
that his bearing as governor would
be certain to give the people reason
to be proud of him.

for Congressman Mt Large
Speaks i'm Williamson.

Speaks i'm Williamson.
The Hon. B. H. Hiner made fine
impression here on last Thursday
night He spoke to large audi
ence and was in pleasant mood and
the best condition. After thorough
~ going over State and National
politics he came to Mingo county
and waxed warm on the past record
OF our political crimes. He was
pleased with his audience and said
he had not had more enthusiastic
assem- blage Of people in the State.
He had. read of the political frauds
committed in this county and he
appealed to all as American citizens
that the ballot be purified in our
county. He said that the blacklist
spot In the political history OF West
Virginia was Mingo county. It had
disgraced the records of the State
and had been condemned Nnani-
mously by q congressional commit
tee composed of both Republicans
and Democrats, and he appealed to
citizens Irrespective OF past political
Affiliations, to be honest with them
selves and remove this plot from the
escutcheon OF the youngest daugh-
ter Of the sisterhood OF counties of
the State. He warned the perpe-
traitors OF these political crimes that
their sins would find them out and
cited Tyler county as an example,
where election outrages had become
so unbearalble that all good citizens
Joined in the prosecution of the Of
tenders, and over one hundred in
dictments were made, and now not
a single election officer who partici-
pated in that election 10 left in Ty-
Ter county. They all decided that
the great West was large enough
for them. It Is only the machine
and bosses that are committing
these election frauds and thrusting
this disgrace upon the liberties of
the franchise. He declared that he
knew that the great mass of the
Republican voters were honest and
they will not continue to, counte-
nance these frauds. He wanted
the honest voters OF all parties to
correct this disgraceful condition in
Mingo county and said that he
hoped to see 1t come in the APP
election He intimated
that the white people OF the State
would not longer stand for such po-
litical dissertation of the franchise
and that now Is the time for all
good and honest citizens to join in
terests and forever end such de-
Of the ballot on the 9Th
OF next November. He Is an orator
and pleasing speaker and was APP
plauded from start to finish.

DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN.
Had Been Member of Legislature

Had Been Member of Legislature
and Prominent in Local Politics.
Mr.. Joseph Simpkins, one of the
best known citizens of the county.
has passed to the great unknown
hereafter and leaves a host of
friends and relatives to mourn his
loss. He was born February goth,
1843 and died at HIS home in De-
Won, this county, on September 18th,
1912. Age So years, 6 months and
% days. Was married to Elizabeth
Hatfield February 18th, 1866. He
reared three sons and three daugh-
tiers, most of whom are now citizens
of this county. He took an active
part in the formation OF Mingo coun-
ty and served in the legislature of
this State with distinction. The
writer remembers him as one of the
citizens of this section
when we first came to this region,
and he was one of the stockholders
in the first newspaper ever publish
ed in Mingo county. He has always
taken an active interest in the upiitt
of the section in which he was rear
ed and had a kind word for every
one with whom he met. Calm and
considerate in his business methods,
he had many friends who admired
his excellent disposition and kind
hearted greetings. His funeral was
preached by Rev. Halsey Gibson and
a large assemblage of citizens from
different sections of the county at
tended the funeral to pay their last
respects to their departed friend.
He had been a member Of the
church since 1871 and had lived an
upright life with his family and
the friends he had drawn close to
him by his friendly intercourse. NIt
is with deep regret that we chroni-
Gle his demise, for we had known
him for long time, and had never
met him without kindly word and
his best wishes To his relatives
we extend our sympathy and may
peace be with the departed spirit of
the man who devoted his life as
best he knew how to the better in
stinets of human nature.

Why He DECLINED II.

A South Side young man who has
a reputation for wearing the sporti-
est clothes to be obtained recently
decided to give one of his very light
suits to the colored houseman. The
young man took the suit from his
room and went down into the yard.
where the servant, who is especial
ly black. was working.
Look here" he said. 1--WE got a
fine suit here which would like to
see you wear"
The colored fellow took one look
at the suit and exclaimed.
''Lawsee, boss, I couldn't wear
that suit. I would look like a fly in
a bottle of milk, and you knows
that's a terrible disgusting sight. -"
