Are Microbes Ia Your Scalp?

Cause Badness.
Professor Unna of Hamburg. Ger
many. and DR.. Sabourand. the lead
ing French dermatologist. discovered
that a mierobe causes badness.
Their theory has time and again
been amply verified through research /
experiments carried on under the .
observation Of eminent scientists. /
This microoe lodges in the Sebum. /
which is the natural hair OIL, and
when permitted 70 flourish il de-
stroys the hair tolliclss and in time
the pores entirely close. and the
scalp gradually takes on a shiny ap-
pearanee. When this happens there
IS no hope of the growth Of hair
being revived.
We have a remedy which will. We
honestly believe. remove dandruff.
sX'erminate the microbe. promote
good circulation in the scalp and
around the hair roots. tighten and
revitalise the hair roots. and over
come badness. so long as there is
any life left in the hair roots.

cannot remain there much longer

Some say it would be good idea TO
pitch them into the briars by the
roadside. while another suggested
selling them at the next public sale.
Either plan would be welcomed by
all who travel this road.

Norge. Va, April lO-The base
ball enthusiasts OF Norge and Toano
were very much elated over the
scrappy game Of ball that was pull
ed off here last Friday. When
toe writer said "sorappy'' he meant
it only in a baseball sense. But
nevertheless it was both sorsppv"
and "snappy." considering the
practice that each team had, which
was none for the Norge team and
you may say none for Toano boys,
as this was their first game. The
game was q battle royal from the
start and was filed with plays that
would DO credit to most any ANA
teur team. The final soorce was 3
to 2 in favor of Norge. The line up

RESPONDS TO CALL FOR HELP.

Mayor Murphy received a message
yesterday morning from the mayor
of Aurora asking aid in the search
for the three-year-old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Hiram of that place.
Mayor Murphy turned the matter
over to the police and fire commits
sion, and Acting President J. w. Muir.
ply Immediately took steps to send
men over to Aurora to aid in the
search. Chief Walsh of the police
force detailed three men, Chief Thay-
er of the fire department secured the
services of three others besides him.
self and Chief Deputy Sheriff Merrill
delegated two of his men, and sev-
eral volunteer citizens were added to
the searchers, who left for Aurora
yesterday forenoon to aid in the
search.
The child wandered away from
home Tuesday afternoon and al
though hundreds of men had secured
the woods in that vicinity no trace of
the little one could be found.

The reply of the company to such
an offer when it shall have been for
mally made is problematical, but that
it will be turned down is the general
belief. However, it will be plenty of
payers to cross the bridge when they
come to it, and the reply will be
awaited with interest.
The sum as named does not include
the real estate holdings of the COM
pany, it being the idea of the mover
of the resolution, evidently, that the
city in case of purchase would not
need the power house or other prop
erty included in the holdings.
The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1912-06-21

c. c. Butler, who has the contract
for doing all the cement curb and
gutter and crossing work for the city,
has a large crew of men at work on
Wyoming avenue, and thus far three
blocks of curb, gutter and crossings
have been put in. The three days
rain of the past week delayed the
work somewhat but it is now pro-
crossing nicely.
The work of paving this avenue
is expected to begin within the next
three or four weeks, and at the same
time the street railway company will
begin the work of laying its tracks
on this avenue. 1t is expected that
cars will be running around the horn
by the time winter sets in. Wyom-
ing will be paved from Ash street on
the south side to Orange street on
the north side.
The other streets and avenues to
be improved are: Virginia avenue
from Cook street to Maple street,
Beech street from Cleveland ayenue
to Virginia avenue, Cedar street
from Virginia avenue to Railroad
avenue, and Locust street from Vir-
ginia avenue to Railroad avenue.
Bids for the paving of these
streets and avenues are being adver-
tised for in the Enterprise, will be.
opened and probably passed upon at
the meeting Of the city council on
Tuesday evening, July 2. -

On the 136th anniversary of the
birth of our nation the people of Vir-
ginia will be awakened by the dis.

only will they be awakened at that
time but they will be kept awake all
through the day and practically all OF
that night. There will be "hullaba-
loo" of everything from the swapping
| of cap pistols in the hands of the
youngsters to the loud-mouthed ven-
der of peanuts and chewing gum.
There will be more noise, Joy and
hilarity than was ever heard in Vir-
ginia at any one time. There will
be all kinds of music from squeeky
whistles and tin horns to the soft
strains of brass bands and orchestras.
There will be oratory and speech
making. There will be skipping and
jumping and all kinds of athletic
sports, including ball games and
dancing. There will be grand pa
rade in the forenoon, and all the
business houses will be represented
in floats and other designs.

"Grand Mardi Gras," which will be
one of the best stunts ever pulled off
in Virginia or in any other part of
this country. From seven o'clock in
the evening until long past the time
for the "Curfew" to sound merry
making will be the program of the

out of the policy instituted under the
past administration looking to the
eventual requirement Of the plant OF
the Virginia Electric Power & Water

purchase of the plant at the assessed
physical value as given by Burns &
Mcdonnell, appraisers, together with
an advance offer of 10 per cent for
the going value of the business and
franchise.
This motion was seconded by AL
derman Heritage, in conformity with
the pledge of the "Big Six in the
recent campaign, and received the
endorsement of the full membership
of the body.
The physical value of the plant as
given in the Burns & Mcdonnell re-
port is approximately 100000, and
with the added 10 per cent would
make the total cost of the plant un-
der the terms of the resolution ap-
proximately $445,O00. This sum is
considerably in excess of, the figures
