Authorities say that a microbs
causes badness. If you are losing
hair try our remedy at our risk.
Professor Unna. Of Germany, and
DR.. Sabouraud, the great French
Dermatologist, claim that mi
crobe causes badness, and their
theory has been verified by eminent
scientists. This microbe destroys
the hair follicles, in time causing the
scalp pores to close and the scalp to
become shiny. Then, it is believed
nothing will revive the growth. Ii
treated before this occurs, badness
may be overcome.
We know of nothing that has
riven such universal satisfaction in
treating the scalp and hair as Rexall
"93" Hair Tonic. 1t has been de-
signed after long study to overcome
the cause of falling hair as discovered

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
tBy clyde II. Tavenner, special
WASHINGTON correspondent to The

Washington correspondent to I'M
Reporter.)
Washington, April 12.-The demo
cratic tariff bill, now pending in con
gress proposes to take some or tn
tax of such articles as wOolens. cot
tons. sugar, meat and lumber, and tt
make up for Tie loss OF revenue b!
taxing the incomes of the wealthy.
Under the Payne-Aldrich law the
hats, coats and shirts OF the masses
are taxed almost II per cent, while
men like John D. Rockefeller having
an annual income of $5O,OOO,0OO
year have not been required to pa!
a single penny Of taxation to the
National Government on their sWol
len fortunes. =.
It goes without saying that the
sugar trust, the wooden trust, the
lumber trust, and the beef trust, vii
condemn the new tariff bill as class
legislation. They we're never heard tc
complain however, of class legisla
ton when it hit the other fellow.
The masses of the people produce
the wealth, and by legislative advan.
tage a few get possession OF 1t, and
now these few object to the transfer
of wealth of even the amount OF taxa
ton derived from the tariff on wool
ems, cottOns, sugar, meat and lum'
Der, which are but a few of several
thousand items on which the masses
are now paying a tax.
THE INCOME TAX.
Under the income tax provision
those having an income of more than
$4,000 must pay a tax OF one per
cent, on his income in excess of the
exempted $4,000: For instance, a
man having an income of -, LOU
would pay a tax of 81; a man having
an income of $1,000, would pay a
tax Of $40; $4,000, $50; etc.

Woodrow Wilson has already

ed States. You may verify this from
the first man you meet in the street,

or color. It seems to be in the air
everywhere. The people appear to
understand that Woodrow Wilson is
on the Job in Washington, working
carefully, courageously and con-
scientiously, In their interest, and
they stand ready to hold up his
hand as often as he may need the
backing of the public sentiment.
President Wilson's action in read
ing his message to the members of
congress face to face is being ap-
plauded everywhere. Here is the
story OF the presidents visit to the
Capitol, told in minutes:

The government has allotted 81, $780,
600 out of the national irrigation fund
to build the Pasco irrigation project,
and approved the scheme. Engineers
are in the fields making surveys. When
their reports are in the subject will re-
ceive more fully the attention of the
department. There are, of course,
contingencies in the way. The right
of way, the proper water rights and
water supply, the cost of undertaking
must all be satisfactory so that the

is feasible and practical in every way.
We are pleased the government has ap-
proved the plans. If it be constructed,
