The Brattleboro daily reformer. (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1913-1955, 1917-08-23

the King Of the Clouds, telling him
how much the bears liked the rain.
"And from the way the rain kept on,
it seemed as if the rain wanted to
please the bears.
"There are some people who go in
side when it rains said Mr.. Brown
Bear.
And I have heard it said added
Mrs. Brown Bear, that folks who do
not go in when it rains, do not know
much. In fact there is a saying about
very foolish people, that they do not
know enough to go in when 1t rains
allow can such foolish sayings go
aboutT asked Mr. Brown Bear. We'll,
they never consulted the bear family
when they made up that saying-cer-
tainly they never asked us about it in
the summer time And throughout
the rainstorm the bears stayed outside
and enjoyed it thoroughly"

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

If your hair is thinning out, lifeless,
full of dandruff. and your head itches
like mad, it s sure sign of the danger
Gus dandruff germ, and quick action
must be taken to save what hair You
have and start new growth. Don t
wait until the hair root is dead, for
then nothing can help you, but get
from your druggist four ounces OF
Partisan sage-it don t cost much and
there is nothing you could use that g
any better. Dr. Sangerbund, the fam
Gus Paris specialist, discovered that
dandruf and falling hair caused by
microbe-then came the discovery
of the value of Partisan sage 0iquid
form) to destroy this germ, prevent
falling hair and the formation of dan
druff. A few messages with Partisan sage
are all that are usually needed, and very
soon you should be able to see the new
hairs coming in. Partisan sage is
women s favorite hair dressing, be-
cause it will not stain and makes the
hair lustrous, soft and fluffy. Be sure
you get Partisan sage (Giroux 's), for
this brand is guaranteed. Wilfred F.
Root can supply you.-Adv.

In his zeal to defend the Vermont
regiment against what he tries to make
out is ISLANDER the editor of the Bur
lington Free Press bids fair to do tile
cx guardsmcn harm and make himself
ridiculous. 1t is well understood by
those familiar with the situation that
the regiment has been seriously lacking
IN equipment of every description, but
this is not the fault of anyone connected
with the regiment and to state the fact
IS no criticism of its personnel. At the
time General Edwards made his inspec-
tion of the Vermont troops this lack was
no doubt apparent to his trained eve
and it would not be surprising if he OF
one of his aides, commented upon it.
From such 4 remark, no doubt arose the
story that the Vermont regiment did
not rank as high as the other New Eng
land units. Probably the story was ex
aggcrated, as newspaper stories occasion
ally are, but the Free Press help.
the matter not at all by attacking
the patriotism of every editor who does
not concede that the story was false il
its entirety.
