DON'T BE BALD
Here's a Good Way to Stop Loss Of
Hair and Start New Hair Growth

Here's a Good Way to Stop Loss Of
Hair and Start New Hair Growth
Hair can never be made to grow
again after the hair roots themselves
are dead. But few Of us. fortunately,
grow bald in a day. and we have ample
warning that our hair is steadily grow
ing thinner.
Partisan Sage is probably as effec-
tive a hair grower as could possibly
be found, but to prevent further loss
Of hair, and to actually start a new
hair growth on the bald and thin spots.
it must be rubbed right into the scalp
with finger tips. or a medium stiff
brush. so that the hair roots can really
absorb it. Try 10 get as much on the
scalp, and as little on the hair. as pos
stble. Your hair doesn't need it but
your scalp does, and few weeks scalp
massage with Paristan Sage tjust a
few minutes daily will usually check
any further loss Of hair and make the
hair grow as thickly and luxuriantly
as ever
Unlike many hair tonicS, Partisan
Sage contains no sulphur or poisonous
wood alcohol. and will not make the
hair greasy or stain the hair or scalp.
II can be obtained from C.. H. GrieSt &
Co. and druggists everywhere, and is
not at all expensive.

to adjust his farming 10 the urge
Of economic pressure or 10 the
spur Of such an opportunity as
that which has been of1ercu by
the war in Europe.
The closing of tho err or free
land is reflected in the activities
of the Federal Department Of
Agriculture, as we'll as in. the
gradual change which is taking
place naturally in the farm prac-
iice of American farmers. The
Department, too, is getting down
TO the business Of farming, and
where hitherto it has developed
itself largely 10 aGrOnomy-to the
science of growing individual
cropS-it is now beginning TO pay
more and more attention 10 the
art of dovetailng different crops
together and marketing them at
q profit. The stress which the
Department within the past three
years has laid upon farm manage
ment. upon marketing and rural
organization, and upon farm eco
Monies in general. is evidence
that the Department means 10 set
the mace in the new agricultural
era and give the farmer every
possihle aid in the consolidation
of the position he has won in the
era Of pioneering.
We. have been wont 10 think or
ourselves as an agricultural peo'
pie, but the truth is that we are
lust getting over the nomadiC
stage. Hitherto the principle
business Of the American farmer
has been selling one farm and
buying a cheaper one farther
west. Now the cheaper farms are
about gone. We've got to settle
down to farming at a profit in
stead of specializing in real cs-
tate. And when We do-well what
tho American farmer has done in
the past year, without half try
ing, is an earnest of what he can
do when he hits his stride in per
manent farming.

William Eliza Williams of Pittsfeld
