A BALD.HeADED WOMAN.
ehsru Of Her Crown Of Beauty, Losss
In Love and Marriage.

Hair is certainly most necessary e
woman. Who could love and marry
bald headed woman? What charms
could one array to Offset such a disig
urement?
A woman's goal is usually love and
marriage. Her browning glory Is her
hair. The loss OF her hair mars her
beauty. happiness. and success. Yet
there are thousands OF women who are
neglecting or injuring their hair to
such an extent that II is only q matter
Of time when II 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 20 excess.
which destroys the natural oil Of the
hair, causing 1t to split. break. and
come out They do not shampoo their
hair often enough, or too often. They
use soaps or preparations which con-
tain ingredients positively harmful TO
the scalp and hair
As a result Of such treatment. dan
d-uff is created. the hair loosens, loses
color, falls out. and badness com
mences. unless proper aud prompt pre-
cautions are taken In time. Then
again, microbes and certain diseases
bring about unhealthy scalp and hair
conditions.
Almost any woman may rid herself
OF dandruff and diseased scalp and
hair II she will but use the right rem
edy. We have that remedy. and we
will positively guarantee that Il will
either relieve dandruff and badness or
II will not cost the user anything.
That's a pretty broad statement. but
we will back q and prove II with our
own money We will return your
money II you do not find that Rexall
'03" Hair Tonic is an entirely salts
factory 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 closed. and the scalp Is glazed
and shiny. II gets its name from the
fact that Il grew hair In % ont Of 100
cases. where il received thoroughly
hard. impartial. and practical test.
We want you TO try Rexall 'o3'
Hair Tonic at our risk. You surely
cannot lose anything by doing so.

That the whole theory Of pena,

the relation Of the state to crime. is
the contention of Eugene Smith Of the
New York bar. writing in the May
number OF Case and Comment the

surdity and disparity between penalty
for crimes In different states. Mr..
Smith says: "The average sentence
for perjury in Florida 10 ten years. in
Maine one year; for larceny. In EelG
ware ten years, In. the District of Co.

The good potato bug dies young.

The good potato bug dies young.
Oats makes most nutritious green
food.
It pays to do right when you are
plowing corn.
Oats, peas and barley are sometimes
sown together.
Corn should not be planted until the
ground is warm and dry.
Leave no long nails sticking up out
Of fallen rails or posts in the pasture.
/ Corn planted In mellow soil will
germinate and make q strong, healthy
growth.
Deep cultivation cuts of the side
roots Of the corn. and destroys part
of the crop.
Nearly every careful farmer has that
variety of corn best suited for his soil
and climate.
Two ounces OF corrosive sublimate
TO 16 gallons Of water makes solu.
ton that kills potato scab.
( No use to treat potatoes for scab II
they are to be planted in ground in
which scabby potatoes grew last year.
Plant the first row or two Of space
along the fence in the cornfelds ad.
Joining the pasture lands to potatoes.
Use slaked lime for the striped
squash or cucumber bug. An early
vine makes trap to catch the first
ones.
Corn that yields well in one locality
will often make an entire failure in
another locality where conditions are
different.
The keynote Of success In corn

There are many methods OF COM
