How You Can Tell if Your Hair is
Diseased.
Even if you have a luxuriant head of
hair you may want to know whether it is
in a healthy condition or not. 98 per
cent of the people need a hair tonic.
Pull a hair out of your head; if the
bulb at the end of the root is white and
shrunken, it proves that the hair is dis
eased, and requires prompt treatment if
its loss would be avoided. If the bulb
is pink and fall, the hair ie healthy.
We want every one whose hair re
quires treatment to try Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic. We promise that it shall not
cost anything if it does not give satisfac
tory results. It is designed to overcome
dandruff, relieve scalp irritation, to
stimulate the hair roots, tighten the
hair already in the head, grow hair and

It is because of what Rexall "93" Hair

week
Ed Farmer has opened up a meat
market in the west room of the J. H.

John Keeler is agsJwBboBned to his

more years until all the old soldiers will
pass to the Great Beyond.
Lester Kelley went to Columbus lsst
Saturday and entered St. Mary's hospi
tal, and on Tuesday was operated on for
appendicitis. He stood the operation
very well, and his condition is all that
could be expected.
Ab soon as his carpenter shop is com
pleted and in readiness, J. T. Smith
will begin the manufacture of cement
blocks in connection with his other
work. He has made arrangements to
supply the Walrath & Sherwood Lum
ber Co., with what they will also manu
facture for others.
Tuesday afternoon the special meet
ing of the Monroe Commercial club was
held in the to n ball, and routine busi
ness was transacted such as listening to
the reports of committees and communi
cations. The bridge proposition was al
so up for discussion, and a committee
was appointed to measure the river again
while the ice was solid, so an exact meas
urement could be gotten. Several mem
bers of the club and residents from Loup
township were present and took active
part in the meeting. A number of new
members were enrolled, and when the
club adjourned it was until Thursday
evening for the annual election of officers
and directors for 1911.
Friday the ice on the river became so
soft that it was unsafe for farmers from
the south side to haul loads to Monroe,
and after hauling two loads that morn
ing they decided to quit and await cold
er weather. While the ice was strong
enough all those who had grain to mar
ket put in their time hauling, and sold
as much as possible. The distance Baved
in hauling means considerable to the
Loup township farmers, as they could
make two trips to Monroe in the same
time as they made one elsewhere. These
farmers should not be compelled to con
fine their marketing of grain in Monroe
to a few days during the winter when
the ice is heavy, but should have a per
manent bridge to cross on.

While chopping wood last Tuesday
Henry Lohoff had the misfortune to let
the axe slip in such a manner as to ont
a gash about two inches long in his foot.
The wound was not serious, but very
painful, and necessitated some surgical
mending.
We are pleased to note that the report
from the bedside of Henry ( Gehring are
more encouraging. While he is still a
very sick man, his present condition per
mits him to be out of bed and sitting
up during a portion of the day. The
Signal joins most sincerely with his re

for a continuation of his improved condi
tion. A. G. Parker received word last Sat
urday that bis sister, .Mrs. Dr. O. U.
Piste, who has been seriously ill at her
home in Torrington the past three weeks
was taken last Thursday to a hospital at
Scott's Bluffs, a distance of 35 miles for
treatment. Dr. and Mrs. Platz formerly
resided in Columbus, and have many ac

the serious illness of her sister-in-law,

for her recovery. Mrs. Perkinson left at

Word has been received that Mrs. Doody
is slightly improved.

abouts, by Immersing malleable Iron
in a bath of cast iron. A steel manu

How a Meaning Changes.
"Cheat" is a word that now has a
very ugly sound. To cheat a man Is to
defraud him. Originally the word con
veyed no such meaning. The old word
"escheat" referred to the dues that fell
to the crown. It came from the French
echoir (Latin, excadere). The modern
meaning that attaches to the word tells
a sad talc of the extortion and greed
that must have been practiced in col
lecting the dues.
