1t has been discovered that II a per-
son is going to be bald in middle life,
or even in old age. the symptoms will
appear between the ages Of fifteen and
teenty.one. Although the hair may
gradually become thinner as one
grows older, It will never entirely dis.
appear unless signs Of this thinning be-
come manifest before the age Of
thirty.five years.

Lucille oregg.welch again deaaonstrated hsr supreme

Mr.. Lucille Gregg-weicha again demonstrated her supreme
talent as an organist TO the satisfaction. Of all.
As to the individual members OF the Organization OF
singers & would be. perhaps. unfair to discriminate.
o body such as the Fairmont Choral Society Il Is the
collective, and cooperative effort OF the organization as
! whole that brings the best results. It was this united
effort Of every individual that made for the complete
attainment last evening.
That the organization may continue to gain fresh lau.
rels from time to time Is our earnest wish. And in this
wish. or toast. we are certain every citizen Of Fairmont
Joins us.

The Semi-weekly leader., 1916-05-03
Prohibition is Prohibiting.

The officials of every city and
town in the state will no doubt
agree with those of Jackson, that
the new prohibition law restricting
liquor shipments to one quart ev-
cry two weeks, has, or soon will,
put the ''blind tigers" out of bus
mess, largely because the handling
and sale of such a small quantity
is Improbable, and any attempt to
handle more than one quart in fif-
teen days is very risky. Several
old offenders have tried it on other
towns, making a trip to some
Louisiana town and returning with
a trunk or satchel filled with
booze. In many instances they
have been caught with the goods
on and sentenced to pay fines of
not less than 500, or 80 days in
all, or on the county farm. One
dose like that is guaranteed to
cure the worst case. The express
companies everywhere report a
great falling off in the business.
Where a year ago, or until the new
law went into effect, many gallons
were received every day by ex-
press, the shipments now amount
to but very few quarts, and the
"blind tigers are not getting
much of that.
