President C. R They Grow Hair Certain Ingredients, If Prop- : erly Combined, Stimulate Human Hair Growth. Resorcin is one of the most effective ' germ destroyers ever discovered. Beta j naphthol Is a most powerful, yet abso - lutely safe germicide and antiseptic, which prevents development of germ matter, and ertates a clean, healthy . condition. Pilocarpine, although not a coloring matter or dye, is an Ingredient well es i. tablished for Its power to restore nat i, ural color to human hair. , Rorax, because of Its well defined softening and cleansing properties. Is ; most useful in the treatment of scalp and hair diseases. Glycerine acts as a ,.' stimulant lo the hair bulbs, and hns a s. soothing, healing and nourishing influ l' once. Alcohol i Inriispt nsable In med n Icine because of it., antiseptic, stlmu f latlng and pr. scrvat Ive iualit is. Kexall Hair Tonic Is chiefly composed of these ingredients, which are compounded in a particular form. and we believe It Is the mpst effective , J remedy known to medical science for ; ? scalp and hair troubles generally. We personally guarantee It to eradicate dandruff and scalp irritations and to irrow hair, even though the scalp In v? spots is bare of hair, providing of ; course there Is life and vitality remaln ' p-viflg in the hair roots.

Gray of the Oregon Trunk railway to day issued a bulletin addressed to homo seekers and investors In central Oregon, aa follows: Why Waa Built. 'The Oregon Trunk railway waa con structed Into central Oregon after thor ough and careful investigation of Its possibilities along lines of agricultural and commercial development. The line was built, therefore, because we have faith that It will ultimately become a great agricultural and dairy country. "You, too, have made an Investment In central Oregon In the ticket you have purchased and in the expense of your trip and you will not realize as you should upon this Investment unless you take the time while you are here to Investigate the possibilities of the coun try as a whole and not be displeased by a showing which may be made by one locality. "Few people can realize the vest extent of the central Oregon country. Until this railroad was constructed the state of Ohio could have been placed In central Oregon and it borders would not have been reached by a railroad. We confidently believe that somewhere in this expanse of country you can find what you are looking for If you will take the time to do It. Chances for AIL "If you have a knowledge of dry farm ing there is a material opportunity in thla direction, and practical farmers have made a great success of It. If your bent is toward irrigated lands there are great many of them In Crook coun ty, lying along and south of the Crooked river. There Is a great diversity In the altitude and In the climatic condi tions. An experimental station will soon be located In the dry farming dis trict and another in the Irrigated dis trict, both of which will In all prob ability be contiguous to the railroad and they will be directed by the Ore gon Agricultural college, so that expert advice will always be available. "We hope, therefore, that having vis ited this new country you will not fall to take ample time to study the char acteristics and adaptabilities of its various sections; consult freely with the officers of commercial clubs, who will give you disinterested advice, and who will refer you to reliable real estato dealers. "The possibilities of central Oregon under proper development are almost unlimited, and the varying conditions of those different sections offer a wide range for selection." MRS.
