'“neampment recently held In Norfolk
was well attended. It was opened
with an address of welcome by Mayor
Alexander Bear, who during the war
was a surgeon in the confederate
army. His remarks were highly ap
preciated by the “boys,” his address
being interrupted by cnthuisastlc ap
plause. At the close of his address
he was heartily congratulated and Ris
en a rising vote of thanks and his ad
dress ordered made a part of the
records. He said in part:
Gentlemen of the Department of llie
Grand Army of the Republic: As the
chief executive officer of this city It Is
my privilege as well as pleasure to

glistening eyeh and grateful hear s the
victorious veterans. Lastly, I wel

soldierly word with all Its tender re

Yes. I salute you as comrades and
though I wore the gray my greeting
irries with It my kindest wishes, my
warmest esteem and my earnest hopes
for vour prosperity and welfare. I
shall attempt no culogium on the

Whatever may he the difference about

How baldness begins.
How to prevent it. *
r.very person, male or female, shrinks
from baldness. It adds to the appearance
of age and is a serious discomfort. The
coses are rare when the falling out of the
hair may not he stopped, and a new and
healthy grown of the huir promoted. The
hair grows in »he scalp like a plant in the
soil. If a plaut flourishes, it must have
constant attention: it must be watered
regularly and find its food in the soil
where it is rooted. It's so with the hair.
Neglect is usually the beginning of bald
ness. Dandruff is ullowed to thicken on
the scalp. The huir begins to loosen. The
scalp loses its vitality. The hair, insuf
ficiently nourished, begins to fade and to
fall The instant need in such a case i^
some practical preparation which, sup
plying the needed nourishment to the
scalp, will feed the hair, give it strength,
and so produce a strong and healthy
growth All this is done by Dr. Ayer'-.
Hair Vigor, the most practical and valua
ble preparation for the hair that can be j
obtained It tones up the scalp, does away
with dandruff, stops the hair from falling,
restore* the original color to gruy or faded
hnir, and give* an abundant and gUmr
growth Those who are threatened with
approaching bald nr** will be interest* d
in the following voluntary statement,
made by Alderman S. J. Green,of spencer,
Iowa. He writes:
“About four month* ago, my hair com
menced falling out so rapidly that I
became alarmed, and being recommended
Dr. Ayer's Dan Vigor by a druggist. I
resolved to try thi preparation. 1 have
been now using it for three months, and
am much gratified to find that my hair ha*
ceased fulling out and also that hair which
had been turning giay for the past five
years has been restored to its original
color, dark blown ft gives me much
pleasure to recommend this dressing.'*—
S. J. Green, Alderman, Spencer, Iowa.
Those who are interested in preserving
and beautifying tile hair will do well to
send for Dr. Avers Curt hook, A story of
cure* told by the cured. This book of 100
pages is sent free, on request, by the J. C.
