Why 6 Women in s Have Dull,
Unattractive Hair

Science has recently made amazing discov-
cries. 1t is now known that hair roots seldom
really die. They can be revived-given new life
We have proved that conclusively by re-
growing hair on 81 heads in 100.
The method we use is new. Years of ex-
haustive experiments were spent perfecting it.
Now world-great dermatologists employ
these ingredients. Some charge as much as
$500 for the same basic treatment.
Falling hair, dull, lifeless hair; hair without
sheen or lustre-6 women in 8 have it.
The reason for most of it is very simple
infection. An infected scalp oil called Sebum.
This new way quickly overcomes it. 1t starts
to act instantly. The effect is soon marked.
The Infected Sebum in Your Hair
Sebum is an oil. 1t forms at the follicles of
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1922-10-20

the hair It's natural function is to supply the
hair with OIL
But frequently it becomes infected. 1t cakes
on the scalp; clogs the follcles and plugs them.
Go to the mirror and you see it in your hair,
either in the form of dandruff or in that OF an
oily excretion at the hair roots.
Germs by the millions breed in it, then feed
upon the hair. Soon your hair begins falling.
You note too how lifeess it appears. In short
time, all the natural lustre and beauty gone.
But and note this scientific fact remove
the infected Sebum and the hair reverts back
to the softness and brilliancy it displayed when
you were a school girl.
The Van Ess treatment accomplishcs that
result. We know you will doubt it. So we
guarantee it.
New hair grown in 90 days. Falling hair
stopped in three weeks. Your own druggist
gives you our guarantee to do these things il
you buy o0-day treatment. He signs it. If
we fail, your money will be refunded usthout
argument.
We urge you to give this new way fair
trial. 1t is folly not to test it; for remember,
you take no risk.
Go to any druggist or department. store to-
day. Ask for the Van Ess Liquid Scalp Mas
sage. Written guarantee accompanies it.

THOROUGH INSPECTION
OF THE OYSTER BEDS

Recently because Of the appearance
OF a few cases Of typhoid fever. there
was some hysterical talk about the
danger Of eating raw oysters. despite
the fact that the Louisiana oyster Is
bedded far from any source Of typhoid
infection. Nearly q decade ago the
scientists Of the Federal government
in Q widely distributed pamphlet de-
clared that because Of the situation Of
the oyster grounds In section remote
from any centre Of population. the
Louisiana oyster was and would re-
main less subject TO infection than the
oysters from any other section OF the
country. The oyster beds are not only
distant from any considerable popula-
ton, but because OF the marsh along
the Gulf coast will always be 50 iso-
lated, or at least for many generations
to come.
In addition 30 this natural protec-
ton Of the source Of supply the Con
servation Department Of the State has
for years made periodic inspections Of
the oyster beds in relation to possible
infections and he's INCREASINGLY inspect
cd the fishing boats and the fisher
mon who are engaged In the trade. Il
10 certain that there could be no infec-
ton of the Louisiana oyster until after
the bivalve passed into the hands Of
the retail dealer. At that period the
authority of the Conservation Depart
mont ceases, and the matter Of protec-
ton Of the public devolves en- the
health authorities.
In the next inspection q the oyster
beds, the State Board of Health will
cooperate with the Conservation Do
partment. and a thorough biological
and chemical examination Of the oys.
tors and the waters surrounding them
will be made The Conservation De-
partment will supply one Of its best
boats for the work, and q working lab
oratory will be put aboard, with the
State chemist IN charge. while agents
Of the department will send along ex-
perts and practical oyster men to aid
In the investigations. The State
Health Board has already declared he
oyster to be free from infection, but
the present investi-,tio, comes at Q
good time to set doubts at rest.

FUR PRODUCING AREAS
CREATED BY THE SAW

Much mental effort has been expend-
Cd in recent years in the solution OF
the problem of the use OF cut over
lands in the South. An experienced
trapper, who knows every rod OF
ground In the territory north and west
of Lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain,
at a recent visit to the Conservation
Department, dec AIRED that nature had
settled that problem in the section
with which he Is acquainted. The cut
ting of timber in the Bottoms and
swampy sections surrounding these
two lakes, he says, Is becoming pro-
ductive at once by reason OF the occu-
patton OF the denuded land by fur-bear-
ing animals When the trees are cut
there Immediately springs UP dense
underground that makes an ideal resi-
dence for coon, mink. otter and other
Wild creatures that afford rich returns
to the trappers Of the section. The
Importance Of this occupation can be
seen when 1t is stated that one trapper
this last season made $500 net in the
three months OF trapping. This sum
was reaped without the investment OF
any capital except about 800 expended
for traps and bait. The merchant 30
whom the trapper sold the fur Cid not
clear this much, despite the fact that
he had everything he possessed invest
Cd in his business.
This trapper said this cut over land
was making as profitable returns as 1t
would make had 1t, by vast expendi-
ture OF labor and capital. been fully
cleared and prepared for the plow.
