DON'T BE BALD
Tells How to Make Hair Grow Thick
and Lustrous on Bald and Thin Spots

IeiIs ROW TO make Hair Grow Thick
and Lustrous on Bald and Thin Spots
Thousands of men and women are
growing bald every day and don't
know the reason why. This Is indeed
a pity, says q hair specialist, who
states that badness usually comes
from carelessness.
The treatment is very simple; re.
move the dirt by shampooing every
ten days and destroy the dandruff
germs by frequently applying little
of the real Partisan Sage, a most effic.
lent preparation that the best drug
gists are now recommending as one OF
the quickest and safest treatments to
surely stop itching scalp and falling
hair, remove all dandruff and to prop.
erly nourish and invigorate the hair
roots.
Partisan Sage is also the discriminat.
ing woman's fayorite hair dressing be-
cause it makes the hair seem twice as
abundant and gives It softness and
luster that compels admiration. A gen.
erous bottle costs but little from the
Mountain City Drug company who
guarantees It to you.

The strange cage or peach basket"
masts of United States battleships
and larger cruiser are unlike those of
any other naval ships afloat. No sea-
man of wooden shipdays would rec
ognize these odd structures as masts.
They are really observation towers Of
steel.
The cage mast is the result of years
of experiment by American naval Of
ficers in an effort to create light
tower that could be shot fell of holes
and still stand up.
The cage mast is built OF large
number of slender steel rods, so ar
ranged that everyone of them could
be pierced by shells and unless these
hits were closely grouped the mast
would stand. So far no other ma
ton has copied the United States style
OF mast.
Each cage mast is capped by "spot.

Philadelphia, Pa. Victims of eye strain
and other eye weaknesses, and those who
wear glasses, will be glad to know that
according to DR.. Lewis there is real hope
and help for them. Many whose eyes
were failing say they have had their eyes
restored by this remarkable prescription
and many who once wore glasses say
they have thrown them away. One man
says, after using it: II was almost blind.
Could not see to read at all. Now 1 can
read everything without my glasses and
my eyes do not hurt any more. At night
they would pain dreadfully. Now they
feel fine all the time. It was like q
miracle to me- A lady who used II says :
"The atmosphere seemed hazy with or
without glasses, but after using this pre-
scription for 15 days everything seems
clear. ] can read even fine print with

and we also remember that a great
comet II slated to appear in the spring

This Is from the Braxton Central
OF last week: "Bill Thayer has dem.
onstrated to the world more than once
that he is a man of nerve. He was
going to the country few days ago
after beef and upon crossing the
bridge he discovered that the wind
had blown little girls hat into the
river, and his little adopted son, Lee,
who accompanied him, was quickly
tied with rope and let off the bridge
a distance of 40 or so feet and recov-
cred the hat and was drawn back up
to safety. We are inclined to think
that little Lee has demonstrated to
the world too that he is about as nervy
as his foster father. Bill is a dynamo
of energy and a big asset to any
town"
During the sharp debate In the
house Friday on the provisions Of the
public service commits ION bill, re-
marks were fired back and forth be-
tween some of the members that
caused considerable laughter from the
galleries and listening members says
the Capitol Gossips man Of the
Charleston Mail.
One instance OF this was when Dele.
gate Louis johnson objected to the
manner in which Delegate Buell.
Swope proposed to amend the bill as
1t stood could only be gained from a
full reading Of the sections as they
stood in the bill. To illustrate his
objections he said:
Il suppose you have read the Bible
have You not. Mr.. Swope?"
Il certainly have" the delegate from
Mcdowell replied.
"You know, then" Mr., johnson con.
tinued. that you can only get a cor.
rect view of the teachings Of that book
by reading 1t as whole. You can't
take line here and sentence there
and get sense out of it. If you should
read the Bible as you are trying to
read this bill you would get queer
teaching.

ed himself. In another place. It saws
GO thou and do likewise. but Won

ALLEGED LIQUOR SELLER ARRESTED

The local authorities ran into evil
dence in a round about manner Sat
urday which resulted in the arrest
and holding for court on the charge
of liquor selling of Pete Brown col
ored. The chain of circumstances
which landed Brown in the hands Of
the officials commenced when Ed.
Williams, white. was arrested on a
warrant sworn out by some local par
ties. At the trial of Williams he i'm
plicated Andrew Van, cOlOred, as
having been guilty of the illegal sale
of LIQUOR. Van was arrested and Will
liams was released on his promise to
appear against Van on Monday. Will
liams did not make his appearance at
that time, but Van did "squeaI on
Pete Brown, whom the local author
tiles had suspected of selling liquor
A search of the place designated by
Van as Browns hiding place for the
liquor disclosed six quarts of liquor,
which Brown acknowledged was his.
He was arrested and held under $500
bail for court, failing to secure which
he was sent to Jail. There are few
other suspected men whom the ottic-
ers are watching closely, and it will
be only the question of very short
time before the needed evidence Will
be ready for presentation against
them. The new dry laws are work
