FALLING Hair Is due to one or more of
l. four causes. 1t can now be stopped.
Most cases within 30 days. A new treatment
has just been perfected. 1t works in an
entirely new way. II treats simultaneously
each of the four causes to which 9Oes of all
hair troubles are due.
SUCCEEDS NllERE ToNlcs FAIL
Many 'Hair Tonics" have been offered
Few have given satisfaction. Scientists have
discovered why. They found that Falling
Hair, Dandruff, and 9O% of all hair troubles
are due to one or more of four causes. They
proved that "tonic" was not enough. The
causes must be treated So they studied
their problem scientifically.
TREATS CAUSES SCIENTIFICALLY
At last a treatment was discovered. 1t
succeeded where toncs failed. II stopped
Falling Hair by attacking the causes.
1t stimulated scalp tissues to action-pro-
viding proper nourishment for the hair roots
1t regulated the oil glands to function prop
erly-lubricating and preserving the hair. 1t
penetrated deep into the hair shaft-destroy-
ing harmful bacteria. II removed dandruff,
dead tissue and caked sebum that clog the
mouth of the hair follicles 1t allowed sickly
hair to get healthy-new hairs to grow.

PREVENT TOMATO WILT

The tomato wilt disease is present
i'll many gardens this year, causing
the vines to wilt and die before the
fruit begins to ripen. This fungus
trouble is most abundant in the small
garden where tomatoes have been
grown continuously for several years
The wilt-resisting tomato developed
by government breeders several year
ago has proved effectiv in eliminat-
ing this loss. Tomato growers wish
ing to scure seed this year or seed
for next years crop can obtain them
through the county agent provided
request is made during the next few
weeks. -
If in doubt as to whether the vines
are dying from wilt or from other
troubles the tomato grower should
submit the lower portion of a bad
ly affected stem to the county agent
for examination. Wilt infected plants
display a characteristic hlackenine
of the interior of the stem by which

more students, better and larger
buildings, finer professional spirit,
earnest application to work. Three
hundred and twenty five are regis
tered for the second term, an in
crease of twenty per cent over the
corresponding term last year. 1t is
interesting to note that in attendance
Watauga led in the first term, but
Iredell, which had second place in
the first term, leads now. This con-
dition is possible because the public
schools of Watauga are now in ses-
sion.

during the week were DR.. Davis, the
pastor of the First Baptist church of
Albemarle, who spoke at chapel on
Tuesday, Prof. and Mrs. Hannaman
