GIRLS-.D0 YOU KNOW
WHY YOUR HAIR
Is UGLY?

1t is astonishing how much good
looking hair does toward producing a
youthful appearance and still more
astonishing to realize how much the
attractiveness of the hair is affected
by the care we give it.
Loving care and frequent attention
are as necessary to keep woman's
hair beautiful and luxuriant as is the
tooth brush to keep teeth from de.
cay.
Every woman who values the beau
ty of her hair as she ought to do
should make it never broken habit
to frequently apply little Partisan
Sage, rubbing it briskly into her
scalp with the finger tips.
Partisan Sage is Natures modern
handmade to beautiful feminine hair.
1t is a simple, harmless compound OF
wholesome nutritious ingredients
that make an ideal lotion for nourish-
ing both hair and scalp. 1t feeds
and builds up the delicate hair and
scalp structures making the hair,
soft, lustrous, brilliant and easy to
dress and arrange. w. L.. Gokay and
many other of our best druggists
sell Partisan Sage and gladly recon-
mend its use.

A Queer Sentence.

a monkey exhibited at a museum es-
tablished at Tacubaya, Mexico, was
condemned to be shot under judicial
sentence. 1t seems that the animal bit
a man, who died from the results of
the bite. The family of the deceased
brought complaint before a judge, who
was foolish enough to institute Grim
inal proceedings against the monkey
and sentenced him to be shot Luckily
the manager of the museum brought
influence TO bear and succeeded in OBJ
tanning change of the sentence to
perpetual Imprisonment. The monkey
is now enduring the punishment of his
crime behind the bars of an iron cage
at the museum.

table, making an appropriate adorn-
ment. The centerpiece can be formed
Of vegetables piled up III the center of
the table. Carrots, turnips, parsnips,
sweet and white potatoes, celery tops,
red and a green cabbage, can all be
used il they are scrubbed clean and
wiped dry Their colors are beautiful,
and if they are neatly mounded and
then edged with a border of fresh green
parsley they will be quite effective.
About the centerpiece candlesticks
formed of vegetables can be grouped.
Big carrots make good candlesticks.
Cut off the big end to make solid
foundation on which these candlesticks
can rest and cut off some of the taper
ing end SO that the end left Will be
half IN inch bigger in diameter than
the candles used Then scoop out a
little cup to hold the candle.
Cucumbers cut on one side so that
they will sit soidly on the table, with
little cup followed in each end, can
be used for holding two candles each.
Turnips, potatoes and parsnips can all
be used

of decoration might be hand painted

ORIENTAL LACQUER.
Japan Got the Art From China, Then
Surpassed Her Tutor.

Lacquer has furnished most varied
| material for one OF the earliest indus
trial arts of China. and. though there
are no authentic records of its origin
nor of the steps of its early develop
ment, the process Is already called an
ancient one in work published in
1887, In the first year Of the Ming pc
Rod. which proves that the art was
known in as remote an epoch as the
Sung dynasty. The eliminating years
of its development were reached in the
reign of the Emperor Chen Lung 1136-
80. who greatly encouraged its manu-
facture and had large quantities Of
lacquered objects made with which to
furnish and decorate his palace. After
his death the art seems to have de-
clined in merit. and since that time lit.
tie or nothing OF any high artistic value
In Chinese lacquer has been accom-
plished
The Japanese first learned the proc.
ess from China, but have since brought
1t TO point OF perfection which sur
passes the finest productions of the
Chinese. In Japan, however. lacquer is
applied solely to ohjsets of compare
lively small size. while in the Chinese
empire il served 10 decorate screens
and panels of tremendous dimensions.
Lacquer is divided into two classes
painted and carved lacquer Both kinds
are sometimes inlaid with mother-of.
pearl. ivory, jade and various semi.
precious stones.
1t was In the early seventeenth cen.
fury. when Holland and Portugal be.
gan their trade with the remote east.
and particularly with China. that mar.
velous empire teeming with SO many
extraordinary artistic manifestations.
that Europe first began to realize the
new and vast field of decorative ele-
ments which Were contained In and re.

w. L. Gokay Guarantees to Return
the Money II Mona Does Not
Relieve You


Its a pleasure to sell a medicine
when my customers come in after
ward and tell me how much good it
has done Them" said W. l., Gokay,
the popular druggist to Banner man
and that is why like to sell and rec
ommend Mi-o-na, the dyspepsia rem.
edy. l have so much faith in this ar
ticle that | am going to guarantee it
money to any purchaser OF Mona
whom it does not help. That may
seem rash but my customers have
said so many good words in its favor
that l do not expect to have many
packages returned.
Anyone who has dyspepsia, whose
food does not digest well, and who
has to take thought as to what he
can eat, and when, can leave so
cents deposit at my store and take
home box of Mona and If the
remedy does not regulate his diges-
ton and help his dyspepsia he can
withdraw his money"
This shows great faith in the merit
OF Mona 1t is really most I'M
usual medicine and the rapid increase
of sales since w. L. Gokay introduc-
ed it in Bennington shows that it
does all that it is claimed to do-re-
lieves dyspepsia, regulates digestion
and enables those who use 1t to eat
just what they want with he fear of
trouble after.
