PASSING OF THE MUCK-RAKE
The New Haven Journal-Courier
comments upon the diminishing in
fluence of the muck-raker in particu
lar and of sensational journalism in
general. Sensationalism is like
drunkenness. Every excess has its
corresponding depression . Every
wild statement diminishes conQ1e:ee
The cry of wolf, wolf, when thero,
is no wolf, is sure to wear out the
patience of any sane peorie. Every
newspaper story, should, be judicial
ly written and the headline should
convey no false impression of niiat
is in the story.
A few years ago the muck raker
had it aJl his own way in the . k,
ity world. Now he is often kept busy
trying to hold his job. In the effort
to do "bo he is explaining with his
old time vigor, how, much of wha:
he formerly said, he didn't men.
Public approval and confidence re.
verts, as it has always done, to the
unostentatious and honest work?r.
We gladly give place to the above
editorial from the Charlotte Observer
because it tersly? says what we are
convinced is- a fact.
In the lesson it "would toach jour
alism are some very practi
which are applicable to the individ
ual fault finder, scandal-monger and
mischief-maker as well as to 'ie
muck-raking. There is no, need to
state these, since one can see them
between the lines of the editorial
quoted; &Qtt we are led to emphasize
one lesson to be drawn from such
comment, and it is this, if we rec
ognize that such criticism is .1u3t
when applied to journalism, do we
feel the force of it when, as indi
viduals, the came spirit manifests
itself in our conversation?
There is one .prayer which we wish
would ascend from the heart of every
well meaning citizen each day, and
in which we all would include our.
selves as well as our neighbors:
Prom the fault-finder, the scandal
monger, the mischief-maker, the gos
sip and the tattler, Good Lord, be
pleased to deliver us!

Professor Unna of Hamburg, Ger
many, and Dr. Sabourand, of Paris,
France, share the honor of having
discovered the hair microbe.
Baldness is not caused through a
few weeks work of these hair mi
crobs, 'but is (the result of condi
tions brought about by their pres
ence. Baldness may not occur until
years after the microges began work
but it is certain to come sooner or
later
The microbes cut off the bjood
supply. They feed on ttfe fatty mat
ter about the roots of the hair,
through which the blood is absorb
ed. Finally the fatty matter is con
sumed, the food supply of the hair
lis gone and it starves and finally
dies.
Resorcin is one of the most ef
fective germ destroyers ever discov
ered. Beta Naphthol is a most pow
erful, yet absolutely safe germicide
and antiseptic, which prevents de
velopment of germ matter, and cre
ates a clean, healthy condition.
Pilocarpin, although not a color.
ing matter or dye, is an ingredien
well established for its power tc
restore natural color to human har
when loss of color has been causec
by a disease.
Borax, because of its well defined
softing and cleansing properties, is
most useful in the treatment of scalp
and hair disease. Glycerine acts as
a stimulant to the ha id bulbs, ana
has a soothing, healing and nourish
ing influence. Alcohol is indispensa
ble in medicine because of its anti
sectic, stimulating and preservative
qualities.
We want every one who has scalp
or hair trouble to tryRexall'3" Hair
Tonic, which contains all these in
gredients. If it does not give you
complete satisfaction in every partic
ular, we will return' every penny you
paid us for it, for the mere asking
and without question or formality.
