Thousands OF men and women are
growing hairless every day. This is
needless because badness usually
comes from neglect and anyone who
gives the scalp n little attention should
always have an abundance Of good
looking. healthy hair. Dandrun and
dirt cause badness by clogring the
pores in the scalp. and giving the dand-
ruff germs fertile ground for prolific
breeding.
The treatment f. very simple: re-
move the dirt by shampoolng and de-
stroy the dandruf germs by applying
the genuine Partisan sage, a most cf-
hcient Rntisepuc liquid that druggists
everywhere are now recommending as
one Of tho quickest and safest treat
ments 20 surely stop itching scalp and
falling hair. remove all dandruf and O.
properly nourish and invigorate the hair

Partisan Sage Is in great demand by
discriminating women because Il is

compels admiration. Eckerds or Dan

There is much being said these days

the commonly accredited view:
1T is a proposition too plain to be
contested that the Constitution con.
tiols any Legislative act repungnant to
It; or that the legislature may alter
the Constitution by an ordinary act.
Between these alternatives there is
no middle ground. The Constitution
Is either a superior, paramount law,
Interchangeable by ordinary means, o..
T. Is on a level with ordinary legisla.

Alternative be true, then a legislative
act contrary to the Constitution Is

then written constitutions are absurd

This doubtless will be the American
constitutional view, in contrast with
