A New Sea Port.
There Is a lusty young city grow-
ing up down in Texas which is attract-
ing widespread attention. It is La
Porte, located at the head of Galves-
ton Bay. It is being made the great
seaport of the Gulf of Mexico, the
meeting place of rail and water ways
for the vast commerce of the west.
The saving to western shippers via
this export outlet will run into mil-
lions annually. The city has the most
magnificent natural port on the south-
ern coast of the United States and one
of the best in the world. The
U. S. government is completing
a deep water channel through the bay
to the gulf, which will soon bring the
largest ocean liners to La Porte docks
and wharfs.

Past So
and Not
a Gray Hair
"I have used Ayer's Hair
Vigor for a great many years,
and although I am past eighty
years of age, yet I have not a gray
hair in my head."—Geo. Yel-
lott.Towson, Md., Aug. 3,1899.
Have You
Lost It?
We mean all that rich, dark
color your hair used to have.
But there is no need of mourn-
ing over it, for you can find it
again.
Ayer's Hair Vigor always re-
stores color to gray hair. We
know exactly what we arc say-
ing when we use that word
" always."
It makes the hair grow heavy
and long, too: takes out every
bit of dandruff, and stops fall-
ing of the hair. Keep it on
your dressing tabic and use it
every day. si.oo a bottle, ah druktsts.
