Taft says he has practically enough to elect him and there are still ISB to be elected, This is about two hundred more than the total number of delegates, and who said “figures won't lie.” --- - — President Taft has found another i name for his opponent, Colonel Roose-, velt. In a speech Thursday he called him a "honeyfugler.” Now you might ! think, dear reader, that the word means something awful. It doesn't for according to Webster it is a slang phrase for “cheat or swindler.” It's a new one, anyway. The astounding facts and figures printed in Thursday's Democrat, surprised many of our readers, and awoke ' them to the fact that there is really j something doing in the old town. We acknowledge all tlJte nice things that have been said about us, and thank those who said them. Let's make it possible to say even better things. BEAUTIFUL HAIR AT SMALL COST A Simple Remedy Beautifies the Hair, Cured Dandruff, Stops Falling Hair. What a pity it is to see so many people with thin, wispy hair, faded or streaked with gray, and realize that most of these people might have soit, glossy, abundant hair of beautiful color and lustre if would but use the proper treatment. There is no necessity for gray hair under sixty-five years of age, and there is no excuse for any one, young or old, having thin, straggling hair, either full of dandruff or heavy and rank, smelling with excessive oil. You can bring back the natural color of your hair in a few days and forever rid yourself of any dandruff and loose hairs, and make your hair grow strong and beautiful by using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. For generations common garden Sage has been used for restoring and preserving the color of the hair; and sulphur is recognized by scalp specialists as being excellent for treatment of hair and scalp troubles. If you are troubled with dandruff or itching scalp, or if your hair is losing its color or coming out, get a fifty cent bottle of Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur from your druggist, and notice the improvement in the appearance of your hair after a few days’ treatment, m-w-f o FOR SALE —Barred Plymouth Rock eggs: seeting of 15 eggs, 50 cents, or $3.00 per hundred.

Os the New Tissue Builder Bloodine, in Many Cases of Run down Men and Women. Prove it to Yourself by Buying a Bottle of Bloodine. “By George, 1 never saw anything like the effects of that new treatment, Bloodine, forth building up of weight and lost nerve force. It acted more like a miracle than a medicine," said a well known gentleman yesterday, in speaking of the revolution that had taken placfe in his condition. “I began to lhink_Jhat there was nothing on earth that could make me fat. 1 tried tonics, digestives, heavy eating, diets, milk, beer and almost everything else you could think of, but without result.” Any man or woman who is thin can recover normal weight by the remarkable new treatment, Bloodine "1 have been thin for years and began to think it was natural for -me to be that way. Finally I read about the remarkable processes brought about by the use of Bloodine, so I decided to try it myself. Well, when I look at myself in the mirror now, I think it is somebody else. I have put on forty pounds during the last forty , days, and never felt stronger or more ‘nervy’ in my life.” Blobdine is a powerful inducer to nutrition, increases cell-growth, makes perfect the assimilation of food, increases the number of blood-corpus-cles, and as a necessary result, builds up muscles, and solid, healthy flesh, and rounds out the figure. For women who can never appear stylish in anything they wear because of their thinness this remarkable treatment may prove a revelation, it is a beauty maker, as well as a form builder and nerve strengthener. Bloodine costs 50 cents for the usual SI.OO size bottles. Mail orders filled by the Bloodine Gorporation, Boston. Mass.
