How Dull, Lifeless Hair May
Be Frightened and
Invigorated

People whose hair looks dull and
lifeless and who find it growing dry,
brittle, splitting at ends and coming
out fast at every combing, need a gen.

one without a days delay. A little

scalp with the finger tips twice daily
will work wonders for hair of this
kind. Just a few days use and the
hair becomes glossy and healthy look

itching and hair stops falling cut.

Normal School in Bemidji.
Bemidji is to be the location of the
states sixth Normal school. The
site for the school includes in the
neighborhood of 22 acres and over
looks Lake Bemidji, the remainder
Of the land being retained by the
city for park purposes. The site is
located about three-quarters of mile
from the heart of the city and with
the exception of three small build
ings is free from buildings and is
still in its natural state, beautifully
wooded. City residences are built in
close proximity to the grounds.
Site is Large.
The site is of sufficient size to &C.
comodate all the buildings, main
school, model building, heating plant
and dormitories for years to come,
and all the buildings will be con-
structed on an elevation so as to
overlook and face the lake. There
is sufficient room for athletic
grounds, tennis courts, etc., in fact
in the opinion of the state normal
school board members there is moth
ing, and that the site or the sixth
Normal school is the most beautiful
ly located and ideal of any in the
state. =... .-
Construction of the school, it is
expected will be begun next year.
With the establishing of the Nor

Ruggles Timber Included.
The famous Ruggles timber a fa-
vorite resort for partridges and
grouse, is included within the strip
and although the action taken by
the solons was not directly for the
establishment of a game refuge, it
so Influenced the citizens of Bemidji
that they Immediately endeavored to
have the spot set aside as a harbor
for hunted and nearly exterminated
animals in hopes of seeing the timber
itself adopted as a state park.
Not only small game such as
grouse, partridges, ducks, geese
and other wild fowl are to be
found in and about this place, but
deer in great plenty, bear and pos
sibly moose, make it a favorite herd
ing and grazing ground. Already
has the state board of game and fish
seen fit and made possible the plac-
ing Of quail as a likely experiment to
determine whether this delicate bird
can endure the hhrdships Of this
climate, in the reserve.
Lake Bemidji partly lies in the re-
serve. Here also has been the basis Of
many experiments by state officials,
most of which have been quite sue
cessful. The latest experiment is the
Introduction Of trout.

X BUY RED CROSS SEALS. !
Z I I 4 4 4 4 L 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 /


When we realize that one person
out of every four in America who
dies between the ages of fifteen and
fifty dies from tuberculosis, and that
it is mainly through voluntary sub
scriptions that the fight against the
disease is initiated, we realize what
the sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals
means to Minnesota.
The economic loss to this State
annually from tuberculosis is ten
million dollars, which means that
| every one of us looses five dollars
personally. Practically all of the
$500 annual deaths from tuberculosis
are preventable if taken in time
and properly treated. When you buy
Red Cross Christmas Seal you
help Minnesota to "take them in
! time" and to eliminate the needless
suffering and needless loss OCCASION
ed by the white plague in this state.
Tuberculosis leaves more destitute
widows and orphans than ony other
disease Cross Seals save fam
lilies from misery. .~&>-..
II Minnesota raises the fund which
it should, it will mean that poverty
will not prevent the proper treat
ment of tuberculosis victims. Ade-
quate funds will make possible the
free services of physicians for di-
agnosis and treatment, the care of a.
visiting nurse, and the provision of
proper diet and open air living for
the patient and protective care for
the families of the poor.
OF course we want our community
to rank among the first in per capita
seal sales this year. The way to do
this is not to talk about it, but to
buy seals. Let us put them on our
calling cards, on our private and
business correspondence, bills, pack
ages and everything that will hold
them from now until the end of the
year. If each of us purchased one
hundred seals, think of what our
community and the State could do
in ridding itself of disease next year.
