\ Happy Bald
Headed Man
Well-known Politician Nearly Bald
Now Has Heavy Growth Of Hair.
Tells How He Did It.

A western politician, we'll known on
account OF his badness and ready
wit, surprised his friends by appear
ing with heavy growth of hair; many
OF his old friends did not know him
and others thought he had wig. On
being asked how he did 1t, he made
the following statement: II attribute
the remarkable growth Of my nair to
the use OF the following simple recipe
which any lady or gentleman can mix
at home: To half pint Of water add
OF. OF bay rum, a small box of Barbo
Compound and u OF. OF glycerine.
Apply to the scalp two or three times
a, week with the finger tips. 1t not
only promotes the growth of the hair
but removes dandruff, scalp humors
and prevents the hair from falling out.
1t darkens streaked, faded, gray hair
and makes the hair soft and glossy.
These ingredients can be purchased
at any drug store at very little cost
and mixed at home"

citation Tells Of
Work.
HELD SERVICE IN JAIL
Believes lowa's Indeterminate SEN
tence Law is Step In Right Dl-
rcctIon-other Reforms
Needed.

The Rev. r. A. Hoffman, field Sec
citation, the organization which Is as
sisting men who have been released
or paroled from prison, to make good,
has been in the city for the last three
days In the interest OF the work. The
Rev. Hoffman is former prison chap
lain and is well acquainted with pris-
on work both inside and outside OF
the institutions.
On Sunday afternoon services were
held in the county jail ny the field
secretary. During the day he spoke
in -four churches, also, United Pres
byterian, Congregational, Westmin-
ster Presbyterian and Trinity Metho-
dist
Part OF our work is to aid the
men to make good and to throw off
the stigma which unfortunately at
taches itself to the men who are dis
charged or paroled from our prison
institutions" said the Rev. Hoffman
yesterday. However, this is only a
part of our work. We also have at
heart the interests Of the men inside
the walls, and we are working for
better prison laws and regulations.
Too often our prisons are schools Of
crime rather than reformatories. Bet
ter conditions inside the walls, and
thus better men who are released is
the result nf orr work.
The Rev. Hoffman said that some
of the prison reform work OF this
state was due to the work OF the Cen
trail Howard Association to certain
extent. He spoke about the plan which
trusts prisoners and sends them out
to work. All of these things go a
long way with the prisoner, who often
if he finds that he is being trusted
will endeavor to make good that trust
Many of the men who are In our
prisons today, got there through ig
norance," the Rev Hoffman said yes
terday. I'm my work as prison chap
lain talked with men who told me
their stories, and who we're really
ignorant of the fact that they were
committing wrongs"
The Iowa infeterminate sentence
law was praised by the Rev. Hoffman
as step toward better conditions.
In thirteen years existence the as
sociation has aided 10,997 msn In
1918, 1885 men were helped through
the efforts of the assoc alton. This
is the largest number yet aided
Funds for use in the work are being
solicited by the Rev. Hoffman, and
after leaving Keckuk he will visit
other cities in the state.
