Xow that the tariff is to be revised by its friends, nc fear is expressed that the beneficiaries of the tariff will be hurt. Revision in the eyes of those who have benefitted at the expense of the government, means no revision. In so far as the Democrats in the coming session of the legislature is concerned, economy and retrenchment should be their guiding star. They have a fertile field to work in. Extra clerks, doorkeepers and commissions should be no allurement to Democratic legislators. They should show the people that Democratic simplicity and efficiency are one and the same. Five Democratic governors-elect will be invited to address the Iroquois club at Chicago, March loth, 1909. They are from the states Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Nebraska and North Dakota. That will be the first opportunity the people will have of comparing the man from Indiana with the other gentlemen. Johnson and Harmon have been in the public eye for several years, but Marshall is a newcomer and Democrats throughout the nation are anxious to get a I’ne on him. His friends here have no doubt at all that he will get to them when the time comes. —Columbia City Post.

If any one has money to invest, he should consult a conservative, reliable banker with whom he is acquainted.

Those present were Messrs, and Mesdamee drover Hoffman. Wesley Hoffman, Dr. Knorr and O. L. Vance ——o ARE MICROBES IN YOUR SCALP? Many Explanations of Baldness Have Been Advanced. Tne Most Correct is That of Microbes. The term "microbe” refers to a paras it Th plant or fungi also called bacteria. A microbe is so small that it can only be detected by the aid of a microscope. Some microbes are harmless. while others produce various diseases, and derive their titles through the form of their growth or because of the diseases they create, which diseases are infectious or contagious. Prof. Unna, of Hamburg, Germany, and Dr. Sabourand, the leading dermatologist of Franee, discovered that a microbe caused baldness, and their theory has time and again been amply verified through research experiments carried on through the observation of eminent scientists. This mic’Obe lodges in the Sebum, which is the natural hair oil, and If permitted to flourish, it destroys the hair follicles, and in time the pores entirely close and the scalp gradually takes on a shiny appearance. When this happens there is no hope of the hair growth being revived. Dandruff is a contagious disease

which a microbe causes. and later produces itching scalp, falling hair and baldness. Dandruff is caused by the microbe diseasing the sebaceous matter, which dries up and scales off. Sometimes the cuticle surrounding the hair allows the natural oil of the hair to force its way between the flakes force them apart and they scale off as dandruff. We have a remedy which positively will remove dandruff, exterminate the i microbe, promote good circulation in i the scalp, tighten and revitalize the' hair roots. grow hair and cure bald-; ness. We back up this statement on our own personal guarantee that this remedy, which is called Rexall "93” Hair Tonic, will be supplied free of all cost to the user if it fails to do as we premise. It will also restore gray and faded hair to its original rich, glossy color, if loss of color has been caused by disease, yet it is jn no sense a dye. Rexall “93" Hair Tonic accomplishes these results by making every hair root, follicle and pigment gland strong and active, and by stimulating a natural flow of coloring pigment into the hair cells. Rexall "93” Hair Tonic is entirely free from grease or sediment, is exceedingly pleasant to use, and will not gum the hair or soil the clothing or pillows.
