Do You Use It?
It'i the best thing lot the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain its normal color, or
if you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

Judge Livingston was on the bench,
but took no part in the discussion,
Judge Brubaker announcing that he
spoke for himself alone.
Tne County Commissioners pub

allegations, saying that the Judge's
action is due to his disappointment in
not being able to compel the award
of a contract to a political friend.
They challenge him to prove his
charges of extravagance, and say that,
while they do not desire any contro

do their duty, regardless of Judicial
