This does not mean, however, that the creditors have settled on this basis of assets and liabilities. The Mandevilles have other oil property and assets besides the small sales made by Mr. Sidey.

DANDRUFF. An Easy Task to Cure It When You Know How. There are tnree kinds of dandruff cures: Good dandruff cures. Bad dandruff cures. And plain liquid junk. The first is good to put on the head; the second is good to keep off the head; and the third is good to flush out the sewer. The owners of good dandruff cures say our remedy will cure you in two weeks or money back. The owners of bad dandruff cures guarantee nothing, but spend their money howling fake at the good dandruff cures, whicn policy they consider is a clever method of enticing the sheckels from the unwary. Parisian Sage is a good dandruff cure. It is, guaranteed by Holthouse Drug Co. to cure dandruff, stop falling hair and itching scalp in two weeks or money back. It kills the dandruff microbes, it promotes a new growth of hair, it makes hair- soft and luxuriant, and it without doubt the most pleasant and invigorating hair dressing made today. To every reader of the Democrat, both man and woman, we want to say these few words: If you have tried other dandruff cures, hair restorers, and have failed to receive any benefit from them, don’t give up hope, try Parisian Sage at our risk. Holthouse Drug Co. will sell you a large bottle for 50 cents with a money back guarantee if it does not do as advertised.

All garments look well when new, but if they are not carefully and skillfully tailored they soon look old and worn with every-day wear. The longer a woman wears a “Bischof” garment the more satisfied she is with it. The lapels never break, the collar always fits snugly, the shoulders do not lose their shape, the seams never pull out. The garment never looks shoddy. This superior quality, coupled with correct style, makes this line suit the most critical buyers everywhere.
