NO NEED TO
FEAR BADNESS
Tells How to Make Hair Grow Thick
and Lustrous on Bald and
Thin Snots

Thousands of men and women are
growing bald every day and don't
know the reason why. This is indeed
a pity, says hair specialist. who
states that badness usually comes
from carelessness, and that anyone
who gives the hair just a little atten-
ton should always have an abundance
of good, healthy hair. Dandruff and
dirt cause badness by clogging the
pores in the scalp, and giving the dan
druff germs fertile ground for prolific
breeding.
The treatment is very simple: re-
move the dirt by shampooing at least
once in ten days and destroy the dan
druff germs by frequently applying a
little of the real Partisan Sage, a most
efficient preparation that the best
druggists everywhere are now recon-
mending as one of the quickest and
safest treatments to surely stop itch
ing scalp and falling hair, remove all
dandruff and to properly nourish and
invigorate the hair roots.
Partisan Sage is also the discrimi-
mating woman's favorite hair dressing
because it gives her hair softness
and luster that fascinate and compel
admiration. A generous bottle costs
but little from Lee e. Osgood Co., who
guarantee it to you.

Rev Joseph F. Cobb Pastor of Church of Good Shepherd
Read Interesting Paper the Prospects of Saoonless
Nation-Meeting Well Attended

scripton In newspapers, and maya
zines coming into the state; and one
state has total Of prohibition nor per-
hitting any inhabitant to possess any
amount Of Intoxicating liquor at any
time.
In some Of these states all political
parties had prohibition plank In
their platforms.
/ As a friend of mine says: ":As it 50
reasonable to assume that any state
voting for state prohibition will vote
for national prohibition, the battle lis
two thirds won on that basis alone"
The fifth reason is that out of the. 4S
states only four, viz: Nevada, New
York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey
have not passed or enacted tenper-
ance legislation in the last ten years.
Another great factor in the prospect,
for salConless nation Is the rapid
spread Of woman suffrage, which gem
orally means death to the liquor traf-
fc :.
am informed that the liquor trafnc
spends more money to defeat suffrage
than it spends for other purposes It
goes to its utmost limit to oppose it
because 1t knows that in general
women may be counted upon to vote
out the saloon. So this rapid in
crease of woman suffrage is looked up
on as one of the strongest prospects
of national prohibition, or saloon
less nation.
ton is that the increasing opposition
of the public press, the great indus
tries, the medical profession, the in
surance underwriters, the boards of
health, the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. associa-
| ton and other organizations, all point
| to or make for a saloonless nation The
| action of the great railroad systems in
| abolishing the sale Of liquor on their
| trains and in the railroad stations is
significant as well as their rules not
to employ men who drink.
! read the other day an interesting
article which said IF prisoners had
their way liquor would ge from New
York state Petitions said to con-
tain the names of 1000 inmates of
Sing Sing, Auburn, and Dannemora
| state prisons of New York, were filed
with the legislative committee recent
| ly at a hearing in support of the state
wide prohibition bill.
| But we will mention our last pros
pect for saloOnleSS nation. 1t is
question of time. When congress will
give the people an opportunity to vote
they will vote right, undoubtedly. But
in many states the legislature meets
only once in two years. Unless a spe-
cial session is called there would be
some delay from this cause if con-
gress should act in the off year
Brethren, 1 think I have brought
before you sufficient data to start you
discussing the subject: for as dark
as the picture looks if we keep our
eyes on Norwich or Connecticut with
its 50 per cent. of population under
wet territory; the outlook S bright
