WALKERTON, INDIANA. JAN. 2, 1892 THE HAIR V hen not properly cared for, loses its lustre, becomes crisp, harsh, and dry, and falls out freely with every combing. To prevent this, the best and most popular dressing in the market is Ayer’s Hair Vigor. It removes dandruff, Deals troublesome humors of the scalp, restores faded and gray hair to its original color, and imparts to it a silky texture and a lasting fragrance. By using this preparation, the poorest head of hair soon Becomes Luxuriant a.d beautiful. All who have once tried Ayer’s Hair Vigor, want no other dressing. Gajbraith & Starks, Druggists, Sharon Grove, Kj’„ write: “We believe Ayer’s Hair Vigor to be the best preparation of the kind in the market, and soil more of it than of all others. No drug store is complete without a supply of it,” “I have used Ayer’s Hair Vigor with great benefit and know several other persons, between 40 and 50 years of age, who have experienced similar good results from the use of this preparation. It restores grayhair to its original color, promotes a new growth, gives lustre to the hair, and cleanses the -scalp of dandruff.” — Bernardo Ochoa, Madrid, Spain. After Using A number of other preparations without gny satisfactory result, I find that Ayer's Hair Vigor is causing my hair to grow.”— A. J. Osiuent, General Merchant, Indian Head, N. W. T. “Ayer's Hair Vigor is the only prepar ■ tion I could ever find to remove dandruff, cure itching humors, and prevent loss of hair. I can confidently recommend it.” — J. C. Butler, Spencer, Mass.

If the reader wants to settle in a wideawake community all he lias to do is to look at the local newspaper. A wideawake, well-supported home newspaper is awlays associated with good schools, churches, ac ; ve baisness, and intelligent people. It never fails. No business man or pioneer in any community makes any better investments than in the dollar he gives to the support of a good home newspaper.— Chicago Inter Ocean AN INTRODUCTION in the through car service of the Wisconsin Central Lines and Northern Pacific Railroad is unneecessary. Its advantages and conveniences have been fully established. It is the only route to the Pacific coast over which both Pullman Vestibuled first-class and Pulman Tourist Cars are operated from Chicago via St. Paul without change. Through train leaves Chicago everv day at 10:45 p. m. The traveler via this route passes through the most picturesque, interesting and prosperous belt of country in the Western World. There is scenery with most striking con trasts that range from the rolling prairie and the pine forests level to the widest passes of the wildest mountains in the world. There is a series of the noblest cities, towns and villages of every variety, and size, from the hamlet or the tiny farm, upward ; the richest mines in the world ; I the greenest and most lasting pastin’- I age; the wildest scenery on the conti- j nent; canons as weird as a nightmare; hills, snows and peaks startling in the magnificence of their beauty, and a perfection of comfort in traveling that has never been surpassed. Fast train via the Wisconsin Central Lines for St. Paul, Minneapolis, Ashland and Duluth leaves Chicago at ; 500 p. m. daily with Pulman Vesti- ’ lulled sleepers and the kmtral’s famous attached. i

An Incident nt West Point. I Nj doubt most boys and girls have ! met with the words “serving the flag”; ' but I dare say that few of them know ! how literally the phrase expresses the I sentiments of army and navy officers, i They do not talk much about it, usually; but they have, away down in their hearts, a deep veneration for their country’s color; and .they do what they can to imprest the feeling on the men who serve under them. I read iu a newspaper not long ago an interesting anecdote of that splendid old soldier ■ and gentleman, General Sherman. An I officer at West Point told the newspaper correspondent that when he was ■ a cadet General Sherman visited the post, and, of course, reviewed the battalion. “I was in the color-guard,” said the officer, "and when the general, passing down the line, came to the flag, he uncovered his head, bowed low, and his face wore an expression of deepest reverence. This act of veneration by the stern old soldier taught us cadets a lesson that we oan never forget.” Boys who have attended military schools will know what is. but perhaps some.—v young readers will not know. ’TTw coloi” guard is a small body of picked men, sergeants and corporals chiefly, who are stationed on each side of and behind the color-sergeant. The colorguard'never leaves the flag in action, and never does any lighting until the last reserves are called upon. Their business is to stand by the flag and prevent it from falling into the '’hands of the enemy. Aboard ship, one of the things that used to be done in the good old days of wooden frigates was to nail the colors to the mast. Hauling down the colors in a naval light is the sign of surrender. When they are nailed to the mast they cannot be hauled down; the mast must be shot away, or the vessel sunk before the colors can be lowered. — IK J. Henderson, in St, Nicholas. Rigid examination of the applicants for certificates to teach in Willis. Tenn., has resulted in the idleness of half the schools of the county. Whooping cough, croup, sore throat, sudden colds, and lung troubles peculiar to children, are easily controlled by promptly administering Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. This remedy is safe to take, certain in its action, and adapted to all constitutions, "Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer” by Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. This wonderful medicine so invigorates the system and enriches the blood that cold weather becomes positively enjoyable.

It is not often that The Tidings indulges in a puff of any business enterprise, but in this instance we are induced to say a few words in reference to the great, growth of the Dr. Kilmer Medicine Company at Binghamton, N. Y. From a small beginning a dozen years ago Dr. Kilmer A Company have grown to immense proportions already. Having only just completed a large five-story addition to their factory the rapid growth of their business demands still more room, until another large addition is now being contemplated to their enormous establishment. In addition to the special practice of Dr. Kilmer himself, extending into several states, his several states, his several proprietary remedies have large sales and enjoy great popularity all over the country. The justly celebrated kidney remedy, known throughout the land as Swamp-Root, has already reached the largest sales of any kidney remedy in the world. And what is more this remedy has acquired its popularity and enormous sales, not by great advertising, but mainly through the reputation of the cures which it has wrought. Testimonials as to its merits and the cures it has made have been received by hundreds from every state in the Union. Where a remedy accomplishes such cures as SwampRoot has done in cases where they were even regarded as hopeless it is a pleasure to refer to such facts in our columns.—Buffalo Saturday Tidings. _ OR.
