Hair is certainly most necessary to woman. Who could love and marry a bald headed woman? What charmB conld one array to offset each a disfigure ment? A woman's goal is usually love and marriage. Her crowning glory is her hair. The loss of her hair mars her beauty, happiness and success. Yet, right here in Columbus there are hund reds of women who are neglecting or in juring their hair to such an extent that it k only a matter of time when it will be utterly ruined. Many women destroy the beauty of their hair through thoughtlessness or ignorance of ceitain facte. They use curling irons over-heated, or to excess, which destroys the natural oil of the hair, causing it to split, break and come out. They do not shampoo their hair often enough, or too often. They use soaps or preparations which contain in gredients positively harmful to the scalp and hair. As a result of such treatment, dandruff is created, the hair loosens, loses color, falls out, and baldness commences, unless proper and prompt precautions are taken in time. Then again, microbes and cer tain diseases bring about unhealthy scalp and hair condition?. Almost anyone may rid themselves of dandruff and diseased scalp and hair if they will but use the right remedy. We have that remedy, and we will positively guarantee that it will either cure dand ruff and baldness or it will not cost the user anything. That's a pretty broad statement, but we will back it and prove it with our own money. Bexall "93" Hair Tonic is the remedy that will grow hair and overcome all scalp and hair troubles. It will grow hair even on bald heads, unless all life in the hair roots has been extinguished, the follicles closed, and the scalp is glazed and shiny. It gets its name from the fact that it grew hair in 93 out of 100 cases, where it received a thoroughly hard, impartial and practical test. We want you to try Rexall "93" Hair Tonic at our risk. You surely cannot lose anything by doing so, while you have everything to gain. You had bet ter think this over, and then come in and see us about this offer. You will be well repaid for your visit at our store. Pol lock & Go. the druggists on the 'corner. Card of Thanks.

The well-ordered city cemetery of fers a sharp contrast 'to the cemetery 'of the countryside the one laid out regularly by a landscape architect and kept continually spruced up by the labor of many gardeners; -the other a wilderness usually, where trees and briers and vines grow as they will, says the New York Sun. , So when a man whose early days were spent in the country views Greenwood or Woodlawn or other less pretentious cemeteries his mind goes back to the graveyard he knew. It lay, and still lies, on a hillside where the sun came oftenest; a wall of stones piled unevenly surrounded It; within the paths ran crookedly this way and that, bordered by wild rose and honeysuckle and the weeping wil low, scattered in nature's splendid dis order. But he remembers that most of the tombstones gleamed Just as white in the sunlight as do the more elaborate tombstones he Is contemplating. Of course in the city the men attached to the cemeteries see that the tomb stones are kept clean. How was it in the country? Surely the aged sexton who dug the graves didn't take care of them after the last words of the burial service had been said. So he recalls that each family looked after its own burial plot, not in haphazard fashion but as a matter of routine. There wasn't much senti ment in the performance; it was part of the year's work. A day in the spring, he recollects, was set apart for this duty. If you lived at a distance it was quite an un dertaking. The wagon was loaded up with gar dening tools and scrubbing brushes and soap and a big wash boiler. At the house nearest the cemetery you called and got this boiler filled with hot water. He recalls that the water slopped over on his bare feet as the wagon pursued an uneven course through the burying ground. The first thing was to give each marble headstone a thorough scrub bing with soap and water. Then a little rough gardening was done, not enough to give the graves a trim ap pearance, but sufficient to mark each from its neighbors. It was the custom of all the country side to keep the headstones bright, and many persons could be seen work ing energetically with scrubbing brushes on any early spring day. But some graves were neglected, he re calls; all the family had died or moved away and the graves they de serted were fast being covered from sight in riot of brier and tangled grass It must be that the graves of his an cestors were that way now, for all his kin not dead had found homes else where on the earth. These lines from Longfellow's "Morituri Salutamus' come to his mind: Each at some well remembered grave will kneel And from the inscription wipe the weeds and moss. For every heart best knoweth its own loss. And he resolves as he comes out ol his day dreaming that he will go back some day and see that the headstone? are polished bright again. But he never does. Angler's Bitter Memories. Although angling has been and still is one of the chief delights of my life, something bitter always arises when I think of my fishing experi ences. Taught from my earliest years to handle a rod and throw a fly, it has, nevertheless, never been my good fortune to grass a really big fish. On the other hand, some of the greatest duffers, so far as angling goes, I have ever known have "wiped my eye" time and again at salmon fishing. Only a year or two since I had a friend staying with me at Dupplin Castle, who, to the best of my be lief, had never before handled a salmon rod or any kind of rod in his life. But almost at the first cast if one could dignify the action by such a name he rose, hooked and eventually grassed a 40-pounder. An other friend, also a most indifferent fisherman, killed, single-handed, a splendid fish that went all but 50 pounds. But I, who have given years to the game, have never seen my spring balance tally more than 31 pounds. Descendants of MassasoiL Two princesses, representatives of the only real American royalty, de scendants of that Hassasoit whose word was law to 30 villages and 30,000 red men, are living in poverty on the shores of Lake Assawampsett, Massa chusetts. They are Teweeleema and Wootonekanuske. An effort is being made to secure for these last of the royal blood of the Wampanoags a Bacterial recognition of their rights and of the services which their ances tor, the mighty sachem Massasoit, per formed for the pioneers of New Eng land. For without Massasoit's friend ship and protection the struggling colonists would have been swept from the land. Human Nature. An old maid's love affairs of her youth grow big in proportion to her years. By the time she is 60 she thinks she was the most popular girl In town and tries to make every other one believe she was once beautiful and attractive. A woman wonders why her next door neighbor does not punish her child for putting his sticky fingers on her porch chairs, while she will allow her own child to jump unmolested oa ar neighbor's flower beds.

Extraordinary Intelligence of Mounts of City Patrolmen. Chicago papers told the other day in picture and story of a 'policeman's horse that followed his master into a barber shop. A Philadelphia police horse, not long ago, caused some ex citement by trudging along behind his rider right into the city hall. But for every yarn about Intelligent police mounts in other cities, the average 'New York traffic "cop" haa one to match, says the New York Tribune. As a Park Row city cavalryman re marked, patting the glossy brown neck of his aid and companion: "He knows a heap more'n a whole lot of the 'muts' that we protect, and if he didn't he wouldn't be fit for his job." One day recently a patrolman had dismounted at a congested spot to straighten out a tangle of vehicles, leaving his horse, untied and unguard ed, near the curb. This animal stayed right there, as still as a soldier at attention, until the odor of a fine bas ket of peaches, just out of reach across the sidewalk, struck his nos trils. The bait was too tempting even for that well trained horse, and inch by inch he edged up toward the luscious meal. Just then his rider, busy a hundred feet up the street, saw him and yelled: "Hey, you, Bob, turn around, there!" And Bob turned around obediently and put temptation behind him. DEMAND MIRRORS IN CHURCHES. Architect Says Women Are Clamoring for Innovation. "I won't name the church," said the architect's young man. "It is one that stood in need of repairs a short while ago. My boss got the job of putting it In order. I attended to most of the preliminary details, and I give you my word that in the list of improve ments recommended by the committee was a lot of small mirrors to be put into the backs of the seats so the ladies could see how their hats looked when they knelt down to pray. "Before the work was really begun the rest of the congregation got wind of the contemplated Innovation and raised no end of a row. The question. 'Looking glasses or no looking glasses,' was voted on by the whole church. The conservative 'noes' won out by a small majority. They insisted that people kneel for devotional purposes, not to study the set of their hats, and that to put temptation in the shape of a mirror into the back of every seat would be positively criminal. "But it is a question that will bob up again with the building of other churches. Most of the women of the congregations are demanding looking glasses in the churches, either in the pews or set as panels in the walls." Inventor of Portland Cement. Isaac Charles Johnson, the inventor of Portland cement, is still living in Gravesend, Eng., and active, at the age of 98. He was born in the year 1810, when George III. was king and Jefferson was president, and when Na poleon was at the zenith of his power Mr. Johnson won an education under many difficulties, as his parents were poor. In early manhood he became an architect, and a house which he built in the Elizabethan style is still standing at Swanscourt in Kent. It was at this time that he first invented Portland cement, which was first in troduced into this country by Levi P. Morton. Future of the Chinese. Sir Robert Hart, director-general of Chinese customs, declares that the Chinese are destined to become a pow erful nation; but with such an im mense mass the work must go slow, and by the time they are organized along modern lines, even if they were aggressive, which they are not, they will know how to temper their strength with wisdom. As to the "yellow peril," Sir Robert said he thought that, though the Chinese are likely to become formidable competi tors in industrial and trading matters, they will not cause the world any special trouble. Wisdom of Experience. "Love is blind," remarked the quota tion dispenser, who happened to be single. "Don't you believe it," rejoined the man who had been trotting in double harness for nearly a year. "After the honeymoon is over one gets wise to the fact that the blindness was only a bluff." Except for Cash. Little Willie Say, pa, when two na tlons are at war, what is meant by the strict neutrality of another nation? Pa It means, my son, that the other nation will not supply arms and am munition to either of the contestants except for cash. Cause of His Haste. Perambulating Pete Wot is youse runnin' fer, Mike?

DISHES THAT TEMPT DAINTIES FOR THE LUNCHEON OR BREAKFAST. Wheat Gems and Rice Muffins Are Welcome Additions to the Menu Orange Pancake Always a Favorite Delicacy. Wheat Gems. Beat three eggs un til thick, add one tablespoonful of sugar, half a 'teaspoonful of salt, and one pint of milk; pour this gradually upon one pint of flour; beat thorough ly; add the butter, melted; butter hot gem pans, fill them two-thirds full with the batter, and bake 20 minutes in a quick oven. Rice Muffins. Beat the yolks of two eggs; add to them one cup of milk, one cup of cold boiled rice, one table spoonful of softened butter, half a teaspoonful salt and a cup and a half of flour; beat well and add the beat en whites of the eggs and two level teaspoonfuls of baking powder; fill greased gem pans two-thirds full and bake them in a quick oven 20 min utes. Cheese Drops. Put six tablespoons of boiling water in a small pan; when boiling add half a level tablespoonful of butter and four level tablespoonfuls of flour, one and a half eggs unbeat en, adding one, then beating well, then the half and beat well; drop from a spoon on a buttered pan, brush with egg, and sprinkle with grated cheese and a little cayenne; bake in a rather quick oven 15 to 18 minutes. Orange Pancakes. Put two cupfuls of sifted flour in a bowl; add one and a half level teaspoonfuls of baking powder, half a teaspoonful of salt, and two well beaten eggs; beat this mix ture for five minutes; add one table spoonful of powdered sugar and one cupful of milk; butter a frying pan, pour in a little of the mixture, and tip the pan so that the batter will spread over the surface; when ready to roll, spread over some orange pulp and a little powdered sugar; roll as for jel ly cake; lift to a hot platter and pour over a glaze made by boiling together the juice of one orange and one cup of granulated sugar; when it has boiled one minute pour it over the pancakes. Velvet Shortcake. Add one tea spoonful of salt to one quart of flour; dissolve one teaspoonful of soda in one tablespoonful of boiling water; add this to two and a quarter cups of sour milk, then add this to the flour; toss on a floured board, roll lightly to half an inch thick and the size of a breakfast plate; place these on a hot griddle, brown on one side; turn and brown the other, split, and butter; serve hot Washing Woolen Garments. The very best way to wash sweaters, babies' sacques, leggings and afghans in fact, all garments knitted or cro cheted of wool is to sew the article in a bag of cheesecloth or mosquito netting. Then, wash the bag, with its contents, in soft water with a good white soap. The water must not be cold; neither must it be very hot, and, of course, the soap must never be rubbed into the bag, the water being soaped beforehand. After rinsing in several waters, which must be of the same tempera ture as the soapy water, rip the gar ment from the bag, but do not hang it on a line to dry; lay it flat on a table without stretching; place in the air to dry; if colored, avoid the sun light, as it will fade it. Some ammonia in the water helps to keep wool garments soft. The dis astrous experience that many people have had in washing sweaters is due to the fact that they wring and stretch them, which should never be done. Simply crush the bag to squeeze out the water, but do not wring. Why Cakes Often Fail. Because inferior ingredients are used, such as rancid butter, inferior sugar, damp flour, and doubtful eggs. Because either the butter is insuffi ciently beaten with the sugar or rubbed into the flour, or the eggs are not beaten enough. Because the mixture is beaten after the flour is added, whereas all that should be done before. The management of the oven is not understood and the cakes are either too dark or too pale. Because the cakes are not carefully tested to make sure that they are cooked. The cakes are either left in the tin or put flat on the table to cool; whereas they should be placed on a sieve or tilted up against something, so that the steam can escape. Uses of Olive Oil. Not every one realizes the medi cinal properties of olive oil. It Is quito true that the machinery of the body needs oiling occasionally, like any mechanical machine . which is con stantly in use, and olive oil, taken in ternally, will be exceedingly benefi cial. A tablespoonful will aid the di gestion and ease liver trouble. This oil should be served frequently as a dressing and is not only pleasant on vegetables, but serves as an appetizer as well. Taken internally, either with salads or alone, it is beneficial for catarrh either of the stomach or throat It is known to be a great help in cases of run-down nervous system and loss of weight It should be rubbed well into the skin, the entire body being massaged with the oil, par ticularly the spine. After massaging with olive oil use a Turkish towel, rubibng well over the body. As a preventive of colds mix it with quinine and rub on the chest and back. It can also be applied mixed with cam phor to cure soreness of the throat The String.

After wash ing inside and out, rub well with a mixture of salt, sage, black and red jepper. Stuff the pig with a dressing made of light bread, butter, salt, pep per, sage and thyme, well mixed, and moistened with milk or water until it is soft, for it will get firmer in cook ing. Then sew up the pig carefully, put in a pan with a little water, and set in a moderately heated oven. Leave the doors open at first. Mix butter and flour in a plate and have a larding mop ready. Mop the pig frequently. As it roasts close the doors gradually. Occasionally pour aver it some of the grayy in the pan and turn It over frequently, so that it may brown evenly. Boil until tender the liver and toes, and when the pig is done chop them up and add to the gravy. Roast from two to three hours, according to size. Serve with apple sauce and pickles. Place pig on platter, an apple in its mouth, parsley around it, and take to the table. RICE SURPRISE, WITH SAUCE. Excellent Dessert Dish for the Lunch eon or Dinner.
