Just think how much pleasure you could realize if your daughter, or aon, had a sweet toned piano and could play and sing, not only the latest songs, but also those dear old songs of long ago, which grow sweeter every time you hear them. Music has a soothing effect upon any one. It makes you forget the worry and unpleasant things that come up in one's everyday life. There is no instrument so appropriate for the home as a good piano. It is almost impossible in this day and age to entertain the friends who call upon you, unless you have a piano in your home, And in almost every family there is to be found at least one who can play the piano.

You may say to yourself that you cannot afford to buy a piano. Now just stop and think whether you can 1 You can when you consider the amount of money the members of your family spend in going to places to be entertained, such as operas, amU places where music is heard. Music is the drawing care) for nearly all the places of entertainment. Now just stop and think how much you would have to pay on a Piano each month if the amounts paid in going to places of amusement were turned in on a piano. We have apian of selling that only requires small monthly payments on ft first class piano.

In this way you can have the pleasure of music in your own home, and you also have something left to show for the money expended, a good piano which serves you many years for amusement and pleasure. Think this over and give us a call. We will be pleased to show you oui line and give you prices and terms. W.W.KimballCo. New Phone 189.

Paul, Minn. Il-lldwl2-17 An You Troubled WHh Dandruff? Because you have attained a certain age it doesn't follow that your hair must naturally part with you. There isn't a single reason why you shouldn't retain a full, healthy head of hair until you have reached a ripe old age. If your scalp itches, if your hair is dry and brittle and is beginning to get thin, there is something wrong. To remedy the disease is neither difficult nor expensive.

Use Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. It stops falling hair; once more sends the rich blood coursing under the scalp; destroys dandruff, and restores the hair to its natural color. If Rexall "93" Hair Tonic doesn't do what we claim for it, return the empty bottle and have your money refunded. Isn't that satisfactory treatment? For sale at our store, only fifty cents. A REASON If you buy a Rexall remedy and are not entirely satisfied with it, all you need to do is to bring the empty bottle or package back to us and say; "I was give me my money" and we will return the money to you Instantly and cheerfully.

We feel that you are conferring an obligation upon us when you do this. We want to know every case that the Rexall remedies fail to cure. We want you to get your money back if the remedy has not done the work you expected it to do. Can any principle of business DC fairer than this Is it not ly in accord with President Roosevelt's doctrine Of the square deal for every man? MANN ROBSON, Druggist THE STORE McConnell.
