Dear Sir:
Several months ago I came into
your office to investigate your system
Of treatments for bald heads for the
reason that I was almost fully bald,
and desired to have full head of
hair. I did not believe it possible for
your treatments to give me what l
desired for the reason that had pre-
viously tried many advertised reme-.
dies which had failed. l read your
contract carefully and determined
that I was taking no chance in trying
out your treatments, 50 l took q
course of treatments with you; the re-
suit has been that l now have full
head of hair. consider your accom-
plishment in my case nothing short of
marvellous. During the time l was
taking treatments l had occasion to
meet and converse with many other
men and women, who were taking
treatments and to observe the result in
fence and observation, I consider you
are doing a wonderful work, and hope
that you will be able to serve thous-
ands Of others as you have served
me.
l shall remain forever grateful for
what you have done for me.
Yours truly,
JOE SCHALJO.

them is the possibility that the dcmUli-

injury to the natural beauties of Hell

dance i'm China. Emphasis is given to
the rice crop, which forms the chief
article of food for the nation. In
many of the valleys are found vast
beds of clay of excellent quality for
the manufacture of pottery. The ex-
tent and vake of China's clay is not
yet realized by the world. For cen
turtles the nation itself has been known
in the western world, largely because
of the excellence of its pottery. Add

Immediately went. as usual, into a

Frenchman,' that frog-eater." etc. Ma
jor Anderson very quietly allowed the
storm to pass and then sat down, took
out his pencil and started to write.
Seeing this, General Wayne asked him
what he was doing. to which Major
Anderson replied that he was taking
some notes to make a faithful report
tc General Lafayette. That answer
brought forth another outburst. but by
and by General Wayne listened to the
explanation of Major Anderson and
finally exclaimed: ''Tell him I'll jine

New zealand.. Trade with J.p..

Japan's imports into New Zealand
are increasing rapidly. and they con-
sist almost entirely of manufactured
goods. During the war period large
quantities of Japanese. goods flooded
this market. some Of which were of a
fairly good quality. but some were
very shoddy. The shoddy goods were
imported chiefly during 1916 and 1917.
since which time the quality Of. the

improved.

that it be accurate and un>

the particular news in which
