aSZZlSFJUl JisSZL
I have used Ayers Hair Vigor
for over thirty years It has kept
my scalp free from dandruff and
has prevented my hair from turn
ing gray Mrs F A Soule
Billings Mont
There is this peculiar
thing about- Ayers Hair
Vigor it is a hair food 1
not a dye Your hair does
not suddenly turn black
look dead and lifeless
But gradually the old color
comes back all the rich
dark color it used to have
The hair stops falling too

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
If the library is to continue the good
work that has been begun it should
have funds The contributions that
were so freely made to its founding have
been exhausted Several months must
elapse before the money arising from the
two mill tax levy shall be available In
the meantime while means are at hand
to keep the library open it will not be
able to accomplish what is expected of
it and what it should do unless some
plan is formulated to supply its impera
tive necessities in the way of new books
A library is a development Although
much that was written in the long ago
is superlatively excellent betterindeed
than what the presses turn off today
still this is a progressive age and our
modern reader demands the modern
book not because it is better than the
old but simply because it is newer be
cause it more nearly suits the conditions
of the time because to us of this era the
literature that treats of the phrases of
life with which we are familiar is most
interesting
There are books for all time and there
are books for the hour- All serve their
purposes None can be dispensed with
The reader should not confine himself to
the old even though it be the best He
wants to know and he should know the
new We live in the present and should
know the present We cannot know
today without knowing the days work
and books are a part of that work Our
existence is circumscribed and we com
municate with the world at large through
books
The reviewers are already announcing
the seasons offerings The patrons of
our library will be calling for the new
books and they should not call in vain
Something should be done and at once
to meet this situation

opposite Indigestion causes catarrh Re
peated attacks of indigestion inflames the
mucous membranes lining the stomach and
exposes the nerves of the stomach thus caus
ing the glands to secrete mucin instead of
the juices of natural digestion This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach

He Didnt Understand
A little fellow out West Roxbury
way some ten years old perhaps
twelve bested his grandmothers the
other day rather neatly All three
were at the table when one of the la
dies casually mentioned the name of
the family nurse Immediately the
little fellow wanted to know who the
lady was One grandma innocently re
marked that it was the nurse that took
care of the boy when he was born
But why didnt mamma take care
of me I was her baby wasnt I
queried the little fellow True says j
grandma but you see mamma doesnt
understand how to look after little ba

have to have nurses who have learned
how in the hospitals That seemed to

means felled or struck blind and might

The Scientific Germ Killer
It contains every antiseptic known
to science
Hog GhoEsra
Is a germ disease of the intestines
Tho cholera bacteria finds its way
into the animal through the drinking
water or filth passing into the stom
ach and finally down along the intes
tines it sets up fermentation and from
there filters through the blood liver
and other organs
Hog cholera cannot be treated suc
cessfully unless treatment is com
menced before the germ has reached
the period of rapid multiplication If
taken in time it can be cured and in
all cases prevented by the use of
Liquid Koal because it is the only
known germicide that will pass
through the stomach into the intes
tines and from there into the blood
permeating the whole system and
still retain its germ killing properties
All other so called cholera cures lose
their potency by the acid reaction of
the gastric juices of the stomach
nence nave no value
