Original Spartacus
Was a Roman Slave

Berlin, Jan. 19.-Spartacus. from
whom, the German Spartacans take
their name, was a Roman slave. He
was a powerful man and was trained
for a gladiator. but he objected to
torture for the amusement of the free
Romans and led a revolt of Stoves
which resulted in the gathering of an
army of 10000. about him and a re-
sistance to organized authority which
lasted several years. He and his bands
defeated one Roman army after an
other and ravaged Europe from the
Alps to the AdriatIc before he was

The DrecO man, the noted expert
who recently came to this section for

in this section, has issued a formal
statement with the request that it be
given wide publicity through the col

time he has always been glad to meet
the men and women who desired his
suggestions on the treatment and re-
lief Of many ills and malignant dis
eases common to the average business
and working man and woman.
When seen recently he said az is
probable that nine-tenths of all dis
ease could be prevented if proper care
were taken of the stomach. Poor di

Don't Be Bald
How to Make Hair Grow Strong, Thick
and lustrous.

Few OF US get bald in day and we
all have ample warning when our hair
is thinning out.
Partisan sage is most efficient hair
invigorator. but to quickly stop any
further loss of hair and promote a
new growth it must be rubbed into
the scalp so the starved hair roots
can really absorb it and get the vital
stimulation so badly needed.
You will surely be delighted with
the first application, for your hair and
scalp should look and feel 100 per
cent better.
Partisan sage is not expensive. It's
a scientific preparation that supplies
hair needs-a clean, non-sticky. anti
septic liquid that is sold at good drug
stores everywhere with guarantee
to give satisfaction or money re
funded.
Good looking hair is half the battle
in any mans or womans personal ap-
pearance. Neglect means dull, thin
lifeless hair and finally badness
while little attention now should
insure thick and lustrous hair for
years to come.
No matter what your hair troubles
try a Partisan massage tonight-you
will not be sappointed.-Adv.
