Are Microbes
in Your Scalp?
It Has Been Proven That Microbes
Cause Baldness.
Professor Uuna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and Dr. Sabourand, the leading
French dermatologist, discovered that
a microbe causes baldness. Their
theory has time again been amply veri
fled through research experiments car
ried on under the observation of emi
nent scientists. This microbe lodges
in the Sebur, which is the natural hair
oil, and when permitted to flourish it
destroys the hair follicles and in time
the pores entirely close, and the scalp
gradually takes on a shiny appearance.
When this happens there is no hope of
the growth of hair being revived.
Dandruff is a contagious disease,
which is largely due to a destructive
microbe, which when left to pursue its
course causes itching scalp, falling hair
and baldness. Dandruff is caused by
the microbe affecting the glands which
produce the sebaceous matter, which
later then unnaturally dries up and
scales off.
We have a remedy which will, we
honestly believe, remove dandruff, ex
terminate the microbe, produce good
circulation in the scalp and around the
bair roots, tighten and revitalize the
hair roots and overcome baldness, so
long SB there is any life lett in the hair
roote.
We back up this statement with our
own personal guarantee that this rem
edy called Rexall "93" Hair Tonic will
be supplied free of all cost to the user
if it fails to do as we state.
It will frequently restore gray and
faded hair to its original color, provid
ing loss of color has been causd by dis
ease; -yet it is in no secse a dye.
Rexall "63" Hair Tonic accomplishes
these results by making every hair
root, follicle and pigment gland Btrong
and active, and by stimulating a
natural flow of coloring pigment
throughout the hair cells.
Rexall "93" Hair Tonic is entirely
free from grease or sediment, is ex
ceedingly pleasant to use and will not
gum the hair or permanently soil the
clothing or pillows.
We exact no obligations or promises
—we simply ask you to give it a
thorough trial and if not satisfied tell
us and we will refund the money you
paid us for it. Two sizes, prices 50
cents and SI.OO Remember you can
obtain it in Emporium only at our

Fifty-nine visitors from out of town

were a sumptuous repast was served
by the ladies of that church. The
basement of the church was tastefully
decorated in the national colors and
the tables made one hungry to look at.
Vasee of ferns and small flags adorned
the tables. Rev. J. M. Robertson,
Rector of Emmanuel Epicopal Church,
asked | the blessing after which all
present did ample justice to the good
things prepared for them. After all
had partaken of the beautiful collation
Mr. D. W. Simpson, of the Renovo
Camp, made a short address and in
well chosen words set forth the prin
ciples of the Order. Mr Simpson was
followed by Mr. Bowman, of Lock
Haven, who made a few timely re
marks. Ilev. J. F. Anderson, pastor of
the M. E. Churah, was the next speaker
and was listened to with much inter
est. In order that the visitors might
catch the 10:56 train for the east the
meeting came to an abrupt end, but
was heartily enjoyed by all present.

Basket Ball.
Emporium had a fine treat last Satur
day evening in the line of basket ball.
One of the finest games of the season
was played between Portville, N. Y.,
and Emporium. It was a good fast
game and interesting from start to
finish and resulted in a victory for the
home team with a score of 35 to 26. A
fair sized crowd was present Our
team has won two out of four games.
i"
The high school boys won laurels for
themselves last Tuesday evening in
winning a game of basket ball from
the Renovo high school team. The
score was 44 to 15. The boys did ex
cellent team work all through the game
and are certainly to be congratulated
in their success. The team looked
resplendent in the new uniforms and
were heartily applauded upon their ap
pearance on the floor. This is the first
year that athletics have been much
thought of in the high school and
through the instrumentality of Prof.
W. G. Briner aB manager of the team
and Prof. R. H. Edgar as coach our
high school has a basket ball team of
which it can well be proud.
*%
Next Tuesday evening the people of
Emporium will have a chance to wit
ness a most exciting game of basket
ball. The fast team from St. Marys
will be present and as there is always
a great amount of rivalry between
Emporium and St. Marys, a good game
can be expected.

In order to assist the athletic associa
tion of the High School the young lad
ies of the school will serve a supper at
the Reading Rooms next Tuesday even
ing, from 5:30 until all are served.
Price of supper will be 25 cento. Let

A Genuine Surprise.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Cramer and
daughter, Miss Lena, were very agree
ably surprised last Saturday evening
at their homo on Cherry street. About
forty friends called on them and took
the house by storm. The evening was
very pleasantly spent in social conver
sation, after which most substantial
sapper of chicken and waffles were
served Music was furnished by the
orchestra of the M. E. Sunday school.
The Cramers expect to leave Empori
um the first part of next week for a
trip through the Southern States arid
will probably be absent from Empori
um until next May or June.
Forged Checks.
Itobt. Manning, a sleek rascal, came
to Emporium on Sunday, registering
at St. Charles hotel, but rooming else
where, getting a lay of the town. On
Monday |he presented checks, reputed
to be signed by C. J. Vogt, to both
Jos. Lechner and G. F. Balcom, pur
chasing at each store a small amount
of goods, getting his change in cash.
The checks amounted tosll.oo or sl2 00
each. Of coarse they were forgeries
and the facts were soon discovered.
Chief Mundy and Sheriff Norris both
got busy, endeavoring to locate the
scamp, who professed being a practi
cal bar-tender and carried a "card."
We understand the same individual
passed numerous checks at Salamanca,
N. Y. Next!

A farewell reception was given in

by Miss Mabel Hilliard. The evening
was merrily spent in gan:es and music,
after which sumptuous refreshments
were partaken of, at the usual hour.
There were twenty guests present.
All departed expressing very great
pleasure.
These two yonng men left Wednes
day morning for Valparaiso Univers

been employed with Lett & Co., the
past few months where his work has
been done with much credit, while
Herkie Jones, has conducted a rather
large business with the Grand Union
Tea Co. The two leave very many
friends, who wish them every success.
Searching for Gibbs.
Sheriff Morrison, County Detective
Jones and members of the state con
stabulary are making a thorough in
vestigation of the disappearance of
Enoch Gibbs, who lived near Morrisons,
His wife has never given up the idea
that he has met with foul play, and
since coming to Bradford has en
deavored to interest the officials.
Gibbs, it will be remembered, started
togo to the rural delivery mail box
and nothing has been heard of seen of
him since. He took his gun with him
and this was later found against a tree.
There is a well founded suspicion in
the minds of a number that Gibbs met
with foul play.—Bradford Star-Record
Enoch Gibbs is well known here
where he resided former y. He is a
brother of our townsman, William
Gibbs.
Much Surprised.
Mr. and Mrs. Moses M. Johnson wish
to thank the membersof thebibleclass,
teachers and officers of the Baptist
Sunday School for the lovely set of
solid silver spoons which were pre
sented to them in honor of the seven
teenth anniversary of their marriage.
