Don't Be Bald

Hair never can be made to grow
egain after the hair roots are dead,
but few of us grow bald in day and
have ample warning that our hair Is
thinning out. Partisan sage is most
efficient hair grower, but to immedi.
ately stop any further loss of hair and
quickly start a new frowth it must be
rubbed into the scalp SO the starved
hair roots can really absorb 1t and
get the vital stimulation so badly need
ed. You will surely be delighted with
the first application for your hair and

you most is-no matter how much dan

Partisan sage, which is obtainable at
any drug store or toilet counter, is a

sticky, antiseptic, amber liquid, that
is guaranteed not to contain denger-

Good looking hair is half the battle
in any mans or womans personal ap-

The names Of those who had
passed were read out. The officer
in charge said:
"The rest of you may go. In my

thing, but may be mistaken, and
I hope the future will show that

prove this now. You can enter the

The great war has developed

art Of flying, at tremendous speed,

through clouds or above them.

endurance and quick wit, as to

However, air flghting is only in
cidental to the main objects of the
aerial arms of the armies. Recon-
naissance is the big thing, and this
involves not only the flying Of ma
chimes, but also photography, map
making and the use Of wireless to
convey information quickly. Direc-
ton Of artillery fire, or spOtting,
and bomb dropping are other major
duties OF the flying corps, and the
actual lighting is done only in pro-

though they craved the machine-gun
