Do You Use It?
It's the best thing for 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
Aycr'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 hail
to retain its normal color, or
If vou wish to restore the lost
l irrftv or faded hair use

MU8T PA? MERCANTILE TAX.
Judge Mitchell Dismitset the Appeal of
Swift & Co. In Important Case.
Judge John I. Mitchell on Monday
at Wellsboro handed down an opinion
in the case of the appeal of Swift &
Co. of Blossburg, against the mercan
tile tax of $30 imposed upon them by
the commonwealth. He dismissed
the appeal and held that they must
pay the tax.
Some forty witnesses were sworn in
the case, about thirty in behalf of the
commonwealth. Much interest was
manifested in the question involved in
this appeal, which is raised for the
first time in this state, for if the com
monwealth succeeds in maintaining
its tax upon this company, the Ar
mour, Swift and similar companies
throughout the state will be subject to
the tax, and the commonwealth will
derive an income from these compan
ies of about $10,000. The case will
undoubtedly be carried to the Su
preme Court.
The Blossburg house is a branch of
the Chicago corporation of Swift &
Co. and it sells not only the prepared
meats of cattle, sheep and hogs and
the manufactured products of the
same as shipped from western houses,
but also the product of other concerns.
It was shown by the evidence of the
manager that the company does a
business at its Blossburg house of be
