.coverer of some of the most i'm
portant secrets of bacteriology
and pathology.
Twelve years ago Professor
Migge, then bacteriologist at the
University of Berlin, began a
study of the cause of badness
and other hair troubles, and this
study verified the fact, then ac-
cepted by theorists In bacteriology.
that inhnitesimal bacteria, infesting
the hair roots and it's hollow canals,
were responsible for the breaking,
falling and destruction Of the hair
thus causing badness. With this
discovery verified the scientist con-
tinued his researches until he had
found an application of chemistry to
destroy these bacteria without harm
ing the hair itself. For more than
five years Professor Migge kept his
secret to himself. while he demon
strated his method to his own salts
faction upon hundreds of subjects
whom he invited into his laborato-
ries. It was only when he had con-
vfnced himself that his method was
infallible wherever nature itself had
not made 1t impossible for restora-
ton of the hair by any method that
he introduced 1t to the world and in
vited the public to avail itself OF it's
benefits
The Migge treatment as 1t is dis
tributed from The Call building labo-
ratories Is an application of science
to the task of eradicating the bac-
terra, which destroy the hair. Vis-
itors to the laboratories are shown

An examination of hair plucked from
the scalps of persons whose hair is

places, is made, and this examination
reveals the extent OF the infection

ONE SERGEANT TOO MANY,
BUT NO SALARY FOR HIM

Because of the recent shakeup the
police department has one sergeant
too many. Funds are on hand to
pay the extra officer, but TIE depart
ment can not use the money without
authority from the supervisors
The budget, as made up by the su-
pervisors, provides for SO sergeants
In leaving the chiefs office J. J..
OMeara, chief clerk assumed his
regular title and became the fifty
fourth and extra sergeant, for which
no salary has been provided How
ever, the salary which was provided
for him as chief clerk is hanging
around without a claimant. and the
supervisors will probably grant the
police department authority to pay
him from that fund.

killed. and then science can do moth
ing to restore the hair. Many times
the Infection of bacteria has become
so severe that results can not be
promised. These conditions are sell

are, Professor Migge frankly tells his
visitors Just what they can expect
from the treatment and that ALI the
results they would like to have ac-
complished can not be had Usually it
Is possible to correct all hair troubles
and restore at least the most of what
hair has been lost, by short appIica-

as the "Migge treatment"
Professor Migge himself needs no

for his Is one OF the best known
