Falling Out
If your hair is coming out,
no wonder you arc alarmed.
It means that you are to have
very thin hair, and that is
about as bad as baldness itself.
The trouble is your hair does
. not have life enough to stay in
the scalp. Feed your hair with
Ayer's Hair Vigor and it will
be all right.
If the gray hairs are begin
ning to show, Ayer's Hair
Vigor will bring back the rich
color of youth to them.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1. (Special Tele
gram.) Chnlrmnn Hopkins of tho census
committee Is npt to furnish a modern In
stance of an engineer hoisted by his own
peturd. His reapportionment bill, by
which Nebraska would loso u rcpresenta-
Ivp, would add ono to the quota of Illi
nois.
The ration of representation fixed by his
bill Is 203,868. Under It Chicago would
gain two representatives and tho state
outside the city nnd Cook county would
loso one. As tho apportionment now
etands Chicago has seven districts nnd
tho state fifteen. Under Hopkins' bill
Chicago would havo nlno and tho state
fourteen. Thus, whllo tho Illinois dele
gation as a wholo would bo Increased from
twenty-two to twenty-three, tho statu
outside of Chicago would lose one. Now
for tho sequel. Tho district Mr. Hopkins
represents Is In the stnto outsldo of Cook
county. Kano county In which ho Uvea,
adjoins Cook county. Tho plan Is to at
tach Knno county to two Chicago wards
and a part of Cook county outsldo of Chi
cago, making a snfo republican county,
which would bo dominated In convention
by delegntps from Chicago and Cook
county. Tho Illinois managers who pro
pose tho creation of tho district Intend It
for William Lorlmer, republican 'leader In
Cook county, who, nftor carrying the Chi
cago democratic district thrco times, was
defeated last fall. Mr. Lorlmer Is re
garded as u man of great ability and force
of chnrautcr nnd Is personally popular.
It Is believed tho Hurlclgh and not the
Hopkins bill will becomo a law, though
tho latter may pass tho house, but If the
Hopkins bill should become n law Its most
unexpected result, but ono that would
gratify many people In nnd out of ccn
