Falling Hair Ends and Hair Grows

Ask A. E, Dimmock.
Its really a wonder what a phe
nomenal sale Parisian Sage has
made for Itself in America in a few'
years. And what a multitude of
people have been cured of falling
hair dandruff and itching scalp by Its
use.
And now the American women
praise Parisian Sage for its peculiar
ability to turn harsh, faded, luster-
less hair Into fresh, beautiful, silky
and lustrous hair in a few days.
Parisian Sage Is today the favor

inating Americans, because it is the
only hair grower that will do just as

Under such conditions the judicial

THE STORY OF WOOL.
What happens to five hundred

1860. It i* the presence of serrated
points that gives wool its tendency
to mat, says tbi* author. Hence, by
separating and mixing the individual
fibers containing the blends, it is
possible to “card wool.” The spin

mounted in spools upon the loom.
