Actress Tells How She Grew It.
AMadare Rose, the Well-Known
actress who playved on one of the
leading vaudeville circuits the past
winte: and who is especially noted
for her iong, beautiful hair, in a
recent interview in Chicrago made
the following statement: *Any
lady or gentleman can promote the
growth of their hair and make it
soft and glossy with this simple
ecipe which they can mix at
home: To a half pint of water
add T oz. of bay rum, a small box
f Barbo Compound and 3-4 oz. of
glvcerine, Apply to the scalp two
or three times a week with the
firg=r tips. This is not only the
finest hair grower I have ever
known, but it prevents the hair
from falling out, removes dan
druff and scalp humors, darkens
streaked, faded gray hair, and
) makes it soft and glossy. The in
' gredients can be purchased at ans
» drug store at very little cost.”

SECOND REASON: /
THE COSMOPOLITAN POLICIES are without doubt the
most attractive Life Insurance policies offered by any Company
.and at the same time are ACTUARIALLY SOUND, as every
policy {ssued by the Company is and always will be.
They cover a wide range from the 25-PAYMENT LIFE,
DOUBLE INDEMNITY and WHOL®® LIFE, INCREASED IN
DEMNITY POLICIES to THE INTERMEDIATE POLICY. OF
3500, which is designed for tlie man who, because of restricted oc
cupation or limited income, is unable to take a policy of $l,OOO and
over,
Our Policies are convineing arguments in fAvor of taking out
YOUR LIFE INSURANCE in THE COSMOPOLITAN.
Ask the nearest Agent of THE COSMOPOLITAN aboutthese
policies, and go into this matter carvefully with him. You will
agree with ve, if you do, that the policies issued hv THE COSMO
POLITAN deserve your most careful consideration, : .
THIRD REASON:
The Business Standard: THE COSMOPOLITAN is the only
Compeny in the State chartered under the recently amended and
rigid Insurance Laws of the State of Georgia, which so carefully
guard the interests of Policyhoiders.
THE COSMOPOLITAN was organized UNDER THE DIRECT
SUPERVISION OF THE INSURANCE COMMISSIONER OF
THE STATE, who is famillar with every detail.
The Company has adopted a conservative policy and 'will, un
der no circumstances, be tempted to follow high-pressure meth
ods simply to pile up a volume of business,
The fixed purpose of the Company is, and always will be, to:
Use the utmost care in the selection of Agents and Medical
Examiners. To make a most careful inspection of risks to avoid
high mortality. .
TO KEEP SALARIES OF OFFICERS and COMMISSIONS

LIMITS,
To invest the assets of the Company with regard to safety.
