A GREAT DISCOVERY
Certain Ingredients That Really Pro.
mote Hair Growth When Proper
ly Combined

Resorcin is one of the most effective
germ destroyers ever discovered by
science, and in connection with Beta
Napthol, which is both gremicidal and
antisephc, a combination is formed
which destroys the germs which rob
the hair OF its natural nourishment, and
also creates clean, healthy condition
OF the scalp, which prevents the de-
veloping of new germs.
Pilocarpin, although not a coloring
matter or dye, is well-known ingre-
dent for restoring the hair TO its nat
ural color, when the loss of hair has
been caused by disease of the scalp.
These ingredients in proper combina-
ton, with alcohol added as a stimulant
and for its well-defined nourishing
properties, perfect perhaps the most
effective remedy that is known for
scalp and hair troubles.
We have remedy which is chiefly
composed of these ingredients, in COM
bination with other extremely invalu-
able medicinallagents. We guarantee
it TO positively cure dandruf and to
grow hair, even though the scalp in
spots is bare of hair. IL there is any
vitality left in the roote, it will positive
ly cure badness, or we will refund your
money. II the scalp has a glazed,
shiny appearance, it's an indication
that badness is permanent, but in other
instances we believe badness is cur
able.
We want every one troubled with
scalp disease or loss of hair To try Rex
all 1893" Hair Tonic. IL itdoes not cure
dandruff and grow hair TO the Salts
faction of the user, we will without
question or bubble return every cent
paid US for il. We print this guarantee
on every bottle. 1t has effected a
positive cure in $50 of cases where put
TO a practical test.
Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic is entirely
unlike, and we think, in every particu
lar better than anything else we know
OF for the purpose for which IL is pre-
scribed. We urge you to try this pre-
paration at our entire risk. Certainly
we know of no better guarantee TO give
you. Remember, you can obtain Rex
ali Remedies in Bedding only at our
store-The Rexsll Store. Connell's
Drug Store.

Copper and Peas.

The recent ruling of the department
at Washington, that after the first of
next January the sale of tgreened -
canned pease and beans, which "green-
ing' is accomplished with copper salts,
shall be prohibited, win not cause as
much annoyance in the trade as if it
had not been anticipated for two or
three years, says New York Journal of
Commerce. There has been a general
apprehension that in anticipation of the
formal issuance of the ruling importers
had heavily stocked up on French peas
| and beans-most of the goods in ques-
| ton come from France-but it appears
| on inquiry that the short pack of French
goods of this character during tine past
two seasons has frustrated any such at
tempt. Otherwise, it is said that there
would now be in American warehouses
large stocks of "coppered goods
which the department would allow to be
unloaded, since they were actually in
the country.
AS a matter of fact, food trades have
come to realize that when a substance
is seriously brought in question it is
| pretty likely to ultimately come under
the ban Of the food law. Such has beer
the experience on most of the great
questions at issue among food experts
Besides, public opinion is more to b,
feared than formal departmental rul
ings. With this in view, importers hav,
been placing smaller orders fo
greened " goods and larger and large
orders for goods packed eau naturel. ,
The result is that the trade has grad
ually been readjusted and importer
say there will be little friction result
ing from the new ruling. AS a rule
the trade always did regard copper col
oring of canned goods as silly and un
necessary and efforts to wean the pub
lie away from them have not bee
difficult.

ham, England, April 10, 1929. He be-
came a minister of the Methodist New
Connection, 1850; was appointed to
hold special evangelistic services un-
til 1861, when, being required to set
tie in the ordinary circuit work, he
resigned and began his labors among
the churches as an evangelist.
Finding the most of the inhabitants
of London attended no place of wor-
ship, he began the Christian mission
1865, which soon grew to be a large
organization formed on military lines
and was in 1878 rechristened the "Sal
walton Army" Under this name it has
become widely known, and has grown
to immense proportions.
A weekly paper, the War Cry, estab
lished in 1880, has very large cir
culation throughout the world. Gen
eral Booth published several hymn anC
music books, Salvation Soldiery" anC
In Darkest England and The Wa!

GENERAL VIM. BOOTH
dies in London
WAS COMMANDER N-CHIEF of
SALVATION ARMY FOR
MANY YEARS.
He Underwent an Operation on His
Left Eye Few Weeks Ago and His
Health Steadily Declined-Was Born
in 1829-His Successor Not Named
Until viii Is Made Public.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS William Booth,
commander-in-chief of the Salvation
Army, died at 1920 o'clock Tuesday
night. He was born at Nottingham in
1929.
The veteran Salvation Army leader
was unconscious for AZ hours before
his death. The medical bulletins had
not revealed the seriousness of the
generals condition, which for a week,
it now is admitted, was hopeless.
Twelve weeks ago General Booth I'M
derwent an operation for the removal
of cataract in his left eye. For two
days after the operation indications
gave hope of his recovery. Then sep
tic poisoning set in, and from that
time, with the exception of occasional
rallies, the patients health steadily de-
clined. The general recognized that
the end was near and often spoke of
his work as being finished
