Famo Stops Seborrhea
and Grows Healthy Hair
)
We ask you to put FAMO to the
most exacting test.
Have a member of your faruily
examine your scalp before you start
the use of I*AMO.
Apply FASIO daily for one month.
Have your scalp examined again.
If they do not report the growth
of new hair, return the FAMO
bottle to where you purchased it
and you will receive your money
back.
FAMO DOES grow new hair lux
uriantly.
It makes the hair fluffy and soft.
FAMO intensifies a natural ten
dency to waviness and retards gray
ness. It contains no harmful alco
hol to dry the scalp and produce
gray hair.
Every woman should use FAMO
regularly.
Its use is a daily habit you will
enjoy.
But not only does FAMO beau
tify the hair.
FAMO kills the deadly seborrhea
microbe, which is the cause of dan
druff.
It stops all itching of the scalp
and nourishes and feeds the hair
roots.
Vinol will Stop a Cough
and Break Up a Cold
A constitutional remedy that removes the cause by
building up the system. These elements, contained
in Vinol—Beef and Cod Liver Peptones, Iron, Man
ganese and Glycerophosphates soon create an
energy that throws off the cold and prevents its
reoccurrence. It has given ninety per cent satisfac
tion for sixteen years. HERE IS PROOF:
Dunn, N.C. Lagrange, N.C.
"I suffered with a chronic cold for "Foryears I suffered with a chronic
four months, coughed day and night, cough, so I could not sleep nights and
Had to keep on working when I was continued to lose flesh. My druggist
not able to I saw Vinol advertised asked mo to try Vino!. It cured my

i'ust cured that cold in a short time. [ gained twelve pounds. Vinol is the
t made me eat and sleep well, better besttonicand tissue builder I have ever
everyway."— J.C. Bagley, Dunn, N.C. I taken." — W. D. REN, Lagrange, N.C.
Tor all run-down, norrono, anaemic condition*, weak women, overworked man,
feeble old people and delicate children, there la no remedy like Tinol.

FAMO was evolved by scientists
in one of the famous laboratories
of Detroit.
Three years were spent in per
fecting it before i was offered to
the public.
The ingredients in FAMO have
never before been used'ou the head.
But they have been well known to
medical science for many years.
They work differently from any
other hair preparation.
FAMO stands alone.
If our hair is thin and lacks luster
and the dandruff scale causes con
stant irritation of the scalp, you
should start the use of FAMO at
once.
It destroys the dandrufT bacilli.
I'AMO is sold at all toilet goods
counters in two sizes—3s cents and
sl. The dollar bottle is extra large
and contains four times as much as
the smaller size.
Applications of FAMO' may be
had at the better barber shops and

AGED PREMIER IS
SHOT JSY ASSASSIN
| [Continued from First Page.]
the windows of the premier's auto
mobile was smashed by the bullets.
I-ong a Hig Figure
I Georges Clemeneeau has been one
j of the leading statesmen of France
i for decades, but it. was not until the
critical stages of the great war came
and he took the reins and guided
the country through to the end of
the struggle that he became the
world-renound figure that he is to
day.
With the lighting ended, M. Cle
meneeau has continued at the head
of the French government during
the trying peace-making period.
Head of the French delegation in the
Peace Conference, he has been an
outstanding figure in the delibera
tions of that body, over whose ses
sions he presided.
Of an extremely vigorous and ag
gressive personality, Premier Cle
meneeau, while attracting to himself
a large and warmly loyal following,
has also determined and outspoken
opponents. At every turn of af
fairsi in parliament, however, he
has been able to wear down the
opposition to him, and just before
the opening of the Peace Conference
he and his administration were given
a striking vote of confidence by the
Chamber of Deputies.
"Tiger of France"
Premier Clemeneeau. while for
merly classed as a radical, has come
to be known in later years as a
representative rather of the more
moderate elements in the French
body politic, and it is in this phase
of his activity that he has been op
posed by the more extreme elements
in the French political world, who
have accused him of giving his poli
cies too much of an imperialistic
trend. He was credited at first with
being opposed to the plan for the
League of Nations in its broader
phases, expressing a preference for
a balance of power secured by
France. Great Britain, the United
States and Italy. His representatives,
however, have joined freely in the
work of framing the covenant of the
league and, with some reservations,
expressed approval of it as it was
laid before the Peace Conference.
_ Despite his advanced years—he is
76 years old —M. Clemeneeau has
continued to justify the sobriquet of
"the tiger" which long has been ap
plied to him. going through the try
ing work of the Peace Conference
with its many long' consultations,
without often showing signs of fati
gue.
Reports Contradictory
First reports of the incidents of
t'te shooting were somewhat contra
dictory. It seems established, how
ever. that M. Clemeneeau was in his
automobile. It had started and was
turning a corner of the Rue Frank
lin into the Rue Delessert, when a
man standing on the sidewalk
jumped toward the door of the auto
mobile and fired several times.
One of the bullets penetrated the
interior of the car and struck Hie
premier In the right shoulder. The
premier tried to open the door when
the first shot was fired, although the
automobile was under considerable
headway, anfi while lie v.as thus en
gaged the bullet hit him. His
chauffeur, Brabant, was also slight
ly wounded. Thus three of the as
sassin's bullets, it appears, took ef
fect, one upon the premier, another
upon the chauffeur, and the third
upon Policeman Goursa f , who was
one of the police agents who guard
the premier.
Walked Jnto House
It was in the struggle with the
assassin after he had shot into the
automobile that the police officer
was founded. Meanwhile, the prem
ier had stepped out of his atßomo
bile and walked into his house.
The actual arrest of the assailant
was made by Police Agent Labaugh.
He also made the first examination
of the prisoner. , *
Professors Laubri, Cosset and
Cuiesier examined the wound in
Premier Cletneneeau's shoulder and
made a diagnosis. According to the
diagnosis the premier was struck in
the posterior part of the right
shoulder blade. The bullet pene
trated without a visceral lesion. The
doctors reported general and local
conditions as perfect.
King George Moved
London, Feb. 19.—King George;
sent the following message to Pre- i
mier Clemeneeau:
"I am shocked to hear of the das
tardly attack on you this morning
and earnestly trust that the injuries j
are not serious and that thanks to
your splendid energy' and courage
you will soon be restored to health 1
to continue your great and valued
efforts for France and the Allies."

of the world, sharing their burdens,

becoming a parly to all international
complications."
Sees \o llnrm in Discussion
Referring to the request of Presi
dent Wilson that Congress refrain |
from discussing of the league until |
lie could meet with the Foreign At-'
fairs Committees, Senator Poindcxter j
asserted it was a matter of "too much |
importance for us to remain alto-|
gether silent," and that "no harm >
can lie done by full discussion of a
document of which the world "was
purposely kept in entire ignorance [
until it came forth ful-panoplied, as
though, born from the head of Jove." |
Taking up the provisions of the |
league's constitution, the Senator de- j
elared that the document contained
no provision for its abrogation or for |
the withdrawal of a nation. He said |
that doubtless the league's advocates
would contend that the agreement I
might be abrogated at any time, but |
such, lie said, was the contention of |
many of the states which joined the j
Federal Union, "only to learn differ-1
ently through the bloodshed of a I
Civil War."
Would Stultify | . s. Power
By llie terms of the constitution, !
lie continued the, decision as to the j
relative reduction of the army and'
navy of the United States in propor
tion to that of the great rival pow
ers, would lie taken absolutely out
of th e jurisdiction of the people and
government of the United States and
vested in the jurisdiction of the
league, "where the United States has
but one vote amid it large number of
alien powers." This In itself, he add
ed. would be in conflict with the Con
stitution of the United States.
The Power of Congress to declare
war, he said, would be taken away,
also in violation of tiie Constitution,
and vested in a tribunal, "the great
overwhelming majority of which is
composed of aliens to our interests
and institutions." The league prom
ises little guarantee for future peace,]
he asserted, when those who drafted j
its constitution have "not been able |
to restore' present peace 'or set up
orderly government in central Eu
rope and Russia."
I nder provisions of the constitution
providing for mandatories l'or colon
ial territories. Senator Poindexter
said the United States would be re
quired to "undertake, practically un
solicited and unsought, to extend our
responsibilities and cares to the ut
termost parts of the earth."
While taking up the obligations of 1
government in Asia, Africa and Eh- I
rope, the United States, he said, would I
surrender "to Asia, Africa and Eu- |
rope, American policies which have j
been the prize jewels in the American i
diadem of state."
Declaring that the emergencies of j
the past which necessitated assertion j
of the principles of the Monroe Doc- I
trine may arise in the future. Sena- I
tor Poindexter said he hoped the !
American people had not reached the
point where they were willing that
"the high ideals of these traditional
doctrines would he left to the ad
ministration of an alien tribunal es
tablished under the League of Na
