natural color and beauty to the hair
and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist

at time. By morning the gray hair
disappears; after another application
or two, it is restored to its natural
color and looks glossy, soft and abun-
dant.

Analysis to show the saving per

Of steam cost in different plants. The
cost of the electric power IL Of course

$4,000 every year as compared with

investigation of the company, one OF
his accusations being that the dam is

Actual Investigation made by an ex-

considerable money for people in the

Ten customers of the Mississippi

each one is saving over $4,000 year
by using that electric current. The
total for the ten is $36,76s saved over
the cost of steam every year.
