Helpful Hints on Hair Health Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally Caused by Carelessness Dandruff is a contagious disease caused by a microbe which also produces baldness. Never use a comb or brush belonging to some one else. No matter how cleanly the owner may be, these articles may be infected wth microbes, which will infect your scalp. It is far easier to catch hair microbes than it is to get rid of them, and a single stroke of an infected comb or brush may well lead to baldness. Never try on anybody else's hat.

Many a hatband is a resting place for microbes. If you happen to be troubled with dandruff, itching scalp, falling hair or baldness, we have a remedy which we believe will completely relieve the troubles. We are so sure of this that we offer it to you with the understanding that it will cost you nothing for the trial if it does not produce the results we claim. This remedy is called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic. honestly believe it to be the most scientific remedy for scalp and hair troubles, and we know of nothing else that equals it for effectiveness, because of the results it has produced in thousands of cases.

Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is devised to banish dandruff, restore natural color when its loss has been brought about by disease, and make the hair naturally silky, soft and glossy. It does this because it stimulates the hair follicles, destroys the germ matter, and brings about a free, healthy circulation of blood, which nourishes the hair roots, causing them to tighten and grow new hair. We want everybody who has any trouble with hair or scalp to know that Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is the best hair tonic and restorative in existence, and no one should scoff at or doubt this statement until they have put our claims to a fair test, with the understanding that they pay us nothing for the remedy if it does not give full and complete satisfatcion in every particular.

The Worth of a Chinese Royal Gift to Li Hung Chang. The lat empress dowager of China was something of humorist The author of "Behind the Scenes In I'e king" tells a story of how IJ Hung Chang, after concluding the treaty of Shimonoseki. was presented by the empress with a cloth of gold bag containing some heavy article. The treasure turned out to be a large vase, and LI. who was an enthusiastic collector of Chinese ceramics, at once sent for his secretary.

Mr. I'etbkk. to come and examine the new acquisition Some time was sut in a careful examinatiou to determine the dynasty during wbp-li this treasure was produced, but the date of this especial paste was lost, with its other technical classifications. After long time Mr Pethlck lifted it gingerly, placed it on a table, put himself in from of It drawing a wrap round his shoulders, and slowly, very slowly, held his hands up to it. turning them in the attitude of warming at a fire.

Chinese need few words. LI understood and was heartbroken The pan tomime indicated to him that the supposed priceless vase was only a clever reproduction made in Paris, and the secretary, warming his hands before it, meant it was so fresh from the pottery furnace that he could still notice the warmth. FOOD AND DIGESTION. Civilized Man Needs Cheerful Sur- roundings at His Meals. Robust people so long as they get what suits their own uncultivated taste are apt to make very light of what they call "fancies" about food and overlook their real importance.

Feeding on the pnrt of civilized man is not the simple procedure which it Is with animals, although many animals are particular as to their food and what is called "dainty." The ne cessity for civilized man of cheerful company at his meal and for the absence of mental anxiety is universally recognized, as well as the importance of an inviting appeal to the appetite through the sense of smell and of sight, while the injurious effect of the reverse conditions, which may lead to nansea and even vomiting. Is admitted. Even the ceremonial features of the dinner table, the change of clothes, the leisurely yet precise succession of approved and expected dishes, accompanied by pleasant talk and light hearted companionship, are shown by strict scientific examination to be important aids in the healthy digestion of food, which need not be large in Quantity because wisely Sir Ray Iankester in London Telegraph. Why Spiders Fight. When two spiders fight there is generally a good reason for the attack and the rigorous defense that follows.

It is not generally known that after a certain time spiders become inca-; pable of spinning a web from lack of material. The glutinous excretion from which the slender threads are Bpun is limited; therefore spiders can-j not keep on constructing new snares when the old ones are destroyed But they can avail themselves of the web producing powers of their younger neighbors, and this they do without scruple. As soon as a spider's web constructing material has become exhausted and its last web destroyed it sets out search of another home, and unless it should chance to find one that is tenantless a battle usually ensues, which ends only with the retreat or death of the invader or defender.

i worth nohhy new and Spring us by Ed. We have It It Important to Know Germinating Qualities of Stock. rule, American gardeners pay very little attention to seed testing. unless a test is carefully carried out it is worthless. Thus the opera- tor must know the degree of heat aud amount of moisture most suitable.

The same treatment will not do for all. We must try to get as near as possible at natural conditions. We must consider the season. Some seeds are very difficult to sprout in winter, and the nearer we approach their natural sprouting season the better the test, while others again refuse to sprout In great heat, such as the summer months. Thus we see a test made out of season may prove entirely worUUess or, worse thaa that, Tery misleading.

During the winter months the sand test Is the best, as seeds sprout more readily In clean sand than in moist earth, and the sand gives enough root action to allow us to judge of the strength of the young plants, which the moist cloth tost does not permit The depth at which seeds should be tested must be decided upon according to season. Thus in the dark winter months very little covering is permissible, while later on more covering Is needed to allow for higher temperatures and rapid evaporation. Gardening.

Value Loss of Silage Small. One reason why cornfields should be turned into the silo is that dried fodder corn deteriorates rapidly and toward spring becomes hard, brittle and possesses little palatability. Silage loses much less than dry corn fodder and is always relished by the animals, summer or winter.

One-half teaspoonful of vaseline and ten drops of carbolic acid made Into a soft paste with sulphur and rubbed on the sores Is said to be a sure enre for 6orehead or chicken pox.

Nothing is gained In hardiness by letting the chickens run out la the rain, snow or cold winds. A thorough coating of whitewash with 8 per cent crude carbolic acid will settle the mite problem for the winter. The cap sheaf of poultry culture is cleanliness.

Cleanliness means that the poultry houses, yards and varroand-lAgfl ehoold be kept sanitary and lit for the fowls to lire In. Warm milk is an excellent feed for chickens that are sick or off feed.
