THE TWICE-A-WEEK POLK COUNTY OBSERVER

The Fact Remains
No amount of misrepresentation by the
peddlers of alum baking powders, no jug
gling with chemicals, or pretended analysis,
or cooked-up certificates, or falsehoods of
any kind, can change the fact that
Royal Baking Powder
has been found by the offi
cial examinations to be of the
highest leavening efficiency
free from alum, and of absolute
purity and wholesomeness.
Royal Baking Powder is indispensable
for making finest and most economical food.

It is not always a sign because a
man is a good fellow that his credit
is good. .
You can fool the people once in a
wliiln but there comes a day when
they find out that your smiles are all
for selfish interest.
A chemist has discovered that milk
kept in a red bottle will remain sweet

Why don't the women who always
want the windows open when travel

can sit in comfort and not have to
sit in the draft.
When men are paid a salary to
talk money out of your pocket, better
sleep over the prnposilion they ask
you to invest in, you will be ahead
the end even if you are called a tight
wad.
To the tax payer it looks like it
was the State of Oregon vs. Polk
Cbmity. No convictions and cases
dismissed or lost is getting to be a
little monotonous, and it is about time
that some one should sit up and take
notice.
$T,000 in bills have mysteriously dis
appeared from the United States
treasury, and officials are very much
worried over the shortage, which is
the first of the kind in the last 40

blamed on the rascally republicans.

him. the thermometer in his brain
would drop below sero.
The rumor (hat Governor West was
playing politics in the game commis

into more than a rumor. Go it Gover
nor, it is such acts that makes good
ammunition for the republicans to
batter down your supposed strong
hold. Make a few more appointments
of men who are unfit for the office.
All will help when the campaign is
opened.
The Rev. Mr. Aked of San Fran
cisco is getting the free advertising
he planned by hi sermon in which
he stated that the scripture statement

up a hornet's nest and like all other

its champions as well aa it oppose n.
and whatever object he had in view,
the publicity of the statement made,
will no doubt make trouble for more
than one congregation before it is
ended.

DON'T GROW BALD
Use Parisian Sage.
If your hair is getting thin, losing
its natural color, or has that matted,
lifeless and scraggy appearance, the
reason is evident, dandruff and failure
to keep the hair roots properly nour
ished. Parisian Sage applied daily for a
week and then occasionally is all that
is needed. It removes dandruff with
one application; almost immediately
stops falling hair and itching head;
invigorates the scalp and makes dull,
stringy hair soft, abundant and ra
diant with life. Equally good for
men, women or children, every one
needs it.
A large bottle of this delightful
hair tonic can be had from Conrad
Stafrin or any drug counter for 50
cents. You will surely like Parisian
Sage. There is no other "Just-as-good."
Try it now.
