TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR.
You Need a Real Scalp Food.

You probably have tried all sorts
OF remedies on your scalp without
getting the desired results, until you
have become discouraged and lost
confidence in all hair remedies. Thou
sands of others, like yourself finally
turned to using Seebys Quinade, and
have been so pleased with the result
they would never again waste their
time or money using anything else.
Quinade Is not an ordinary pomade;
1t Is highly medicated and Is a real
scalp food. Quinade stimulates and
nourishes the roots of the hair, caus-
ing natural growth of long, straight
hair. 1t will make coarse, stubborn
hair soft and silky and easy to nut
up in the style desired. Ouinade will
positively allay itching of the SCALP:
and dandruff, which is the real cause
or most hair and scalp troubles.
To get best results from the use
OF Quinade, one should shampoo the
scalp every two weeks with Seeby's
Qulnasoap a soap made entirely of
pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap fathers
very freely and is a thorough clean
ser: 1t leaves the hair soft and
ilury and imparts a refreshing feel
ing TO the scalp unequaled by any
other shampoo.
Insist on getting seeby's ouinade
a en Qu1nasoap, asking for them by
eneir tull name. Price is rs cents
eaeh. II your druggist or dealer does
not stock these two articles ask him
20 OBTAIN them. from his wholesaler

a touch Of hysteria until q physician
could give her attention.

SITUATION
REMAINS STATIONARY

The local phase of the nation wide
strike of union ~telegraphers was un.
changed Tuesday, according to state.
ments made at the offices Of both the
Postal and Western Union and the
headquarters of the union strikers. AT
the Western Union it was said that
they expected no change In the sitya-
ton until the strike is finally ad-
justed. Strikers declare that the
employing companies are weakening
under the strain of trying to carry
their business short-handed, The COM
panies declare, however, that they are
managing to handle the important bust
ness, though they are suffering some
inconvenience. Nc wires are being re-
ceived for small railroad stations, where
the business must be handled by rail-
road operators. kilograms are said to
be going through to the cities where
the companies have establishments.
There is some difference of opinion
as to the number of ~telegraphers out.
p. M. Burns, member Of the publicity
committee of the local union, asserts
the Postal has lost, between IS and 40
men and the Western Union 80 men
and IA or Is girl multiplex operators.
The Western Union declares there are
only is men out and says three OF
these have been replaced.
The local strike will have been in
progress one week Wednesday, although
