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

Dandruff is a contagious disease
cansed nv microbe which also nro-
duces badness. Never use comb
or brush belonging to some one else.
No matter how clearly the owner
may be, these articles may be infect
ed with microbes, which will infect
your scalp. It is far easier to catch
hair microbes than it is to get rid of
them, and a single stroke of an in
fected comb or brush may we'll 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
dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair
or badness, we have a remedy
which we believe will completely re-
lieve these troubles. We are so sure
Of this that we offer it to you with
the understanding that it will cost
you nothing for the trial if it does
not produce the results we claim.
This remedy is called Rexall "93'
Hair Tonic. We honestly believe it
be the most scientific remedy for
scalp and hair troubles, and we know
of netting else that equals it for ef-
fectiveness, because Of the results it
has produced in thousands of cases.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is devised
to Danish dandruff, restore natural
color when its loss has been brought
about by disease, and make the hair
naturally silky. soft and glossy. 1t
does this because it stimulates the
hair folliciles, 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 sc lp to Know
that Rexall '93" Hair Tonic is the
best hair tonic and restorative in ex-
istence, and no ore should scof at or
doubt this statement until they have
put our claims to a fair test, with
the understanding that Their pay Us
nothing for the remedy if it does not
give full and complete satisfaction
in every particular. Two sizes, SO
cents and $1.O0. Remember, you

for his age, and no doubt would

whose divine providence we are, had
use for him in yon heaven and took
him from the home where for these
years he has been accustomed to the
care and instruction Of parents who
did their best to instruct IN the

Standing for The Right.

Hurrah for Bishop John c Kilgo
and those consecrated Methodist
ministers Of Durham, who have the
courage to stand up and tell the
world they do rot believe that re-
vival meetings go hand in hand with
pool tables, card tables and the like
They may not be able to reform the
world and change the customs Of the
times by the fearless stand they have
thus taken for God and the right,
and this they hardly expect to do.
But they may at least save the grand
old Methodist Church in Durham
from a huniliating compromise with
the devil. Even this is worth while.
What place have pool tables and
the like in Christian institutions
anyway? This is one Of the chief
objections to the Young Mems
Christian Association. 1t started
out all right. But 1t has become
entirely too much Of worldly Or
ganization under Christian name
OF course there are great many
people who can see no harm in the e
things, and there are still a grea t
many who would mix up no end Of
worldly amusement with the Church
itself.
Probably one Of the chief elements
Of weakness in the Church today
grows out Of the fact that it has
compromised too much with worldly
tendencies among its own members.
Shall we say it? The Church has
already become too much Of fash
ionable worldly organization in
many places, and just to the extent
that it has done so it has lost it's
power with God and men.
ltsis against this unfortunate state
Of affairs that Bishop Kilgo and the
Methodist ministers Of Durham are
now contend:ng, and every conse-
Grated preacher of Righteousness in
the land ought to join forces ana
make common cause with them.
But will they DO it? What of the
poor pastors Of fashionable churches
who might desire to do so, but must
preach with a muzzle on or give
place to someone else who will?
All honor to ministers who are
not afraid to speak out, just like
Bishop Kilgo and those other Dur
ham preachers have done, regardless
of the sentiments of those who may
want to be in the Church because it
is popular to be there, but are not
willing TO give up any of their sin
full and worldly amusements for the
sake of the Church and for Christ's
sake, and may this type of fearless
ministers increase in the land which
the Lord their God stands ever
ready to give them if they will only
stretch forth their hands and take it
in His name.-Z;on Landmark.

Pompeii's Latest Disclosures.

AoiA Inc New 1Ofk Zines.
It is evident from the reports as to re-
cent discoveries in Pompe;i that the ex-
cayators are now working in a part OF
the city that was more deeply buried by
the great eruption of 70 than was the
portion hitherto uncovered. There were
in Pompeii. Of course. no tall buildings.

but many. perhaps the majority of them.

with balconies and porticos on the more
important structures. OF these, till now
little more than hints or traces have been
round, owing presumably to the fact that
posed to the weather or to the many ac-
cidents and robberies that a shallow COW
erins OF ashes made possible.
Access to most OF the buried houses
must at first have been easy, or not very
difficult, else would the harvest OF rel
ics,' when systematic excavation began
in modern times, have been greater and
OF more intrinsic value. The city has, in
deed, been a mine OF priceless treasures,
from the standpoint OF the archeologist
comparison with what must have been
there on the day OF doom. the property
recovered has been small in amount and
OF poor quality. AS very little was &C
tually DESTROYED by the eruption, the in
been we'll rewarded.
The better preservation Of the houses
Just revealed adds to the widespread i'm
patience that the work OF excavation is
proceeding 80 slowly. and should inspire
renewed appeals to Italy to let the rest
OF the world help in the performance of a
task OF such general interest as this one.
Contributions to hasten its Completion
would be gladly made wherever Latin let
tiers are cultivated, and they could be ac-
cepted without the slightest injury TO
Italian dignity.

English Coal.
From the London Chronicle.

FROM the London Chronicle.
II Queen Elizabeth was the first Of our
monarchs to realize the value Of the coal
mines as state monopolies. her successor.
James /. was the first to interest himself
personally in the working Of the mines
When still King Of Scotland only he paid
visit Of inspection to a colliery worked
under the sea in the Firth Of Forth and
having one shaft sunk on a small is.et,
where the coal was raised and shipped.
King James went down one OF the shafts
on the mainland, but when he was raised
out OF the mine at the pit on the island
and found himself surrounded by water
he became alarmed and shouted Urea
SON.. until treasured by his followers of
his complete safety.
English coal Is first mentioned in the
reign Of Henry III, who granted a char
ter to the citizens Of Newcastle empow-
ering them to dig 1t. So the times when
people did without are not SO remote
after all. Elizabethan references to the
fuel are not numerous. but Shakespeare
seems to have regarded it favorabiy at
a period when its admirers were few.
The chief objection to It was its deleteri-
Gus effects on stone, and In Shakespeare
day it was blamed for injuring famous
structures in the capital. Still. he speaks
in a cozy way OF the latter end OF a
sea coal fire." white some of his fellow
dramatis:s had for it only abuse.

made to the Chinese amban. or ambas-

to welcome the Chinese. The latter, how

the dalia lama, with his chief ministers,
left Lassa, and made across the noun

CY YOUNG DISCUSSES
0LD-T|ME HURLERS
Recalls Rhines, Rusie, Keefe,
Griffith and Other Star Per-
formers on the Mound.

1T may sound strange to the fan of
today" said Cy Young in an interview,
when j say that after I had been in
Cleveland but day or two l was put
in the box against Chicago and. more
than that. l was pitted against Billy
Hutchinson, one of the greatest stars Of
the league.
In those days. YOU know, they didn't
handle recruits as they do now. Man.
ayers nowadays won't take a chance on
a youngster until he has been thorough
~ tested. They cannot afford to risk
the loss of game by an experiment.
The managers of today buy and sign
youngsters by the wholesale and then
keep them on the bench for months until
they are thoroughly saturated with the
big league ideas of base ball. Often these
youngsters are sent away without ever
getting a chance.
Twenty years ago, when player was
bought or signed. he was bought for the
express purpose of going on the regular
team 1t was not uncommon for young
pitchers to step In and make good right
of the reel In fact, the signing of q
new man indicated that he was a star
and neither the management nor the fans
could be patient about the time he start
ed. We didn't have so many players on
ly no bench warmers. Pitchers often
played in the outfield when not pitching.
They also pitched oftener than they do
now.
the veteran. whether the home team
was way ahead or way behind, the
pitcher was removed from the box. Tn
0erstard. he was not removed because he
was losing, but because he might be
needed to pitch the next day.
Among the great pitchers that I mot
that summer and defeated was Billy
Rhines of Cincinnati He was star, and
! believe he would have made great
pitcher today
AS long l am talking about great
pitchers. though. l must not overlook
Tim keefe of New York. There was
wonderful pitcher. and l learned much
from watching him work He is the
fast ball through like a bullet and
would then follow it up by slow one
that would have the batters breaking
their backs reaching for it. 1 guess Tim
and besides that he had wonderful
curve ball.
we had better not talk too much
about these great pitchers until l men
20 long way to find a better man than
the Zig fellow from Vincennes, Ind. He
was a marvel
That curve ball Of Rusie's had all the
batiers buffaloed. Leon Ames Of the
Giants has curve ball something like
Rusie's. but ne hasn't it under such per-
feet control l have often heard Clark
Griffith say that Ames has the greatest
curve ball since Rusie's time.
Talking of Clark Grtfnth reminds me
that he was another great pitcher. He
didn't have the great speed OF the other
fellows. but he had wonderful control
and he tantalized the batters by con-
tinually outguessing them. He used a
change of pace that was very effective -
