Buy Hair at Auction? At any rate, you seem to be getting rid of it on auction-sale principles: “going, going, g-o-n-e! ” Stop the auction with Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It certainly checks falling hair; no mistake about this. It acts as a regular medicine; makes the scalp healthy. Then you must have healthy hair, for it’s nature’s way. The beet kind of a testimonial — “Sold for over sixty years.” m MsdebT J.O. Ayer 00., Uowell, Mas*. /W Al»o manuAMunrs of / «a£a SABSAPARILIA. CHERRY PECTORAL.

STORY OF “AN ARISTOCRATIC TRAMP.”

Anew addition to stage trampdom, “Sir Seedy Usetobe,” an individual who has a strong dislike for anything that smacked of work. Of course the tramp is a man of history. About sixteen years before he had been knocked in the bead by the bad man of the play, and losing all recollection of his former self he becomes a wanderer. He loses sight of his daughter and wife, whom he has made an outcast. In the end the playright gives the tramp back his memory after strenuous complications in which the villain commits murder and attempts to wipe out a number of other people. During the play an automobile race occurs between the tramp and the adventurer in which the tramp gets the better of it, owing to the fact that his foe’s car blows up at the right moment. Another situation which causes a demonstration is where a train is stopped in time to save the life of the tramp who had been tied to the track. All ends happy. The bad man dies the death he has earned and the audience go home satisfied. At Ellis Opera House, Thursday, Sept, 6.

THINK OF THIS ONE MINUTE.

How does it happen that the Studebaker factory in South Bend, Ind., covering 101 acres, is the largest vehicle factory in the world? How does it happen that more than a million Studebaker vehicles are in use the world over? How does it happen that the Studebaker business has shown a steady growth and increase every year for more than fifty years? How does it happen that the Studebaker reputation for all that goes to make a good vehicle is higher today than ever before? Do you think it just happened or was there a reason for it? You know there must have been a reason and this is it. The absolute reliability of the Studebaker product. It appeals to careful buyers, men who are satisfied only with the best. If you belong to that class, if you like a good farm rather than a poor farm, a good horse rather than a poor horse, a good wagon rather than a a poor wagon, we ask you to investigate the Studebaker before buying. See the Studebaker agent C. A. Roberts the buggy Man. Rensselaer, Ind.
