Woman With Marr.lously B.antlftd Hall OlTaa Simple Home Prescription Which She Used With Most Bamaxkabl. Results. I was greatly troubled with dandruff and falling, hair. I tried many advertised hair preparations and various prescriptions, but they all signally . failed; many of them made my hair greasy so It was impossible to comb it or do It up properly. I think that many of the things I tried were posi tively Injurious and from my own exper ience I cannot too strongly caution you igalnat using preparations containing wood slcohol and other poisonous substances. 1 believe they injure the root of the hair. After my long list of failures I finally found a simple prescription which I used with most remarkable resluts and I can unhesitatingly state that it Is beyond doubt the most wonderful thing for the hair I have ever seen. Many of my friends have also used It and obtained wonderful effects thereforra It not only Is a powerful stim ulant to the growth of the hair and for re storing gray hair to its natural color, but it ti equally good for removing dandruff, giv ing the hair life and brilliancy, etc., and for the purpose of keeping the scalp in first-class condition. It also makes the hair much easier to comb and arrange In nice form. I have a friend who used it two months and during that time It not only stopped the falling of his hair and wonderfully Increased Its growth, but it practically restored all of his gray hair to Its natural color. You can obtain the In gredients for making this wonderful prep aration from almost any druggist. The prescription is as follows: Bay rum, 6 o. ; Menthol crystal, one- halt drachm; Lavona de Composee, t o. ; To-Kalon perfume, 1 to I teaspnonfula. Apply night and morning; rub thor oughly Into the scalp. Go to your drugg'sts and ask for tha eight-ounce bottle containing six ounces of ! tnl weuk Come and tio Uoaslp.

It would also ap pear that tho minimum qualification of the nurse should be ascertained by a board of examiners chosen from the nursing profes sion, thus following the precept given by the older professions of medicine, phar macy and dentistry," NURSES WANT NEW STATUTE Have Bill to Present to Leglslatare Giving- Them More Uefl nltr Prestige.

The substance of this bill briefly stated provides that there be a board of examiners chosen from th nursing profession; that all graduate nurses practicing at present may register without examination, provid ing they possess certain qualifications, r- GRAFT CHARGES ARE RENEWED Mlsa Bernard of Oklahoma Persists In Criticism of Prison Man agement.
