THIS STOPS HAIR
FROM FALLING OUT

Ever try to count the dead hairs in
your comb and brush? They are ma
ture's warning of future badness and
proof that the dangerous little dand-
run germ Is busy on you scalp.
DR.. Sangerbund. the famous Paris
specialist, first discovered that dand-
run and falling hair are caused by a
microbe. Then came the discovery OF
the value of the real Partisan Sage
(liquid form) in destroying the dand-
run germ and promptly preventing
the further loss of hair. The effect
of only three days use of Partisan
Sage Is simply marvellous. and the
American people have now. awakened
to the fact that dandruff is just as
unnecessary as Ii is unhealthy, and
that they can be quickly rid of II and
save their hair by using a few ounces
of Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage Is sold by O'DonnelFs
Drug Stores and good druggists every
where. It's an inexpensive, daintily
perfumed liquid. free from sickness,
and will surely cause hair to grow
soft, lustrous, and really seem twice
as abundant.-Advt-

SWEET POTATOES EASIER
TO GROW THAN TO KEEP
Large Part of the Crop Lost Each
Year Because OF I'm
proper Storing.

Sweet potatoes can be made an inn
portant and cheap source Of food, say
specialists in the United States Depart
inert OF Agriculture. Ii is quite easy
10 Increase the acreage enormously,
and the adoption Of better methods Of
handling and storing would improve
tle product TO such an extent that. the
semand would be greatly stimulated.
Storing sweet potatoes has always
leen more difficult problem than pro-
-Ucing them. \ large part of the
oIthcrn crop is kert in pits and banks.
with the result that probably so per
mt Of the potatoes decay. and even
hose which are I'll 10 put on the mar
Net do not keep Well Moreover. the
Eits and banks cannot be opened dur
inE Wet or rainy weather without risk
uf iGiuriHG all the stock in them. SO
aat il is not uncommon for growers to
~ unable. because of weather condi-
ions. to get out their potatoes at the
very time that the market demand for
hem is greatest.
These difficulties can be done away
with 10 q great extent by the use Of
sweet potato storage houses, the man
asemeHt and construction of which are
discussed in detail in Farmers Bulletin
