GROWS HAIR

PROVE 1T!
a lady from Minnesota writes:
AS result of using Danderine, my hair
is close to five feet in length"
Beautiful Hair at Small Cost

III AIR troubles, like many other diseases, have
been wrongly diagnosed and altogether mis-
understood The hair itself is not the thing to
be treated for the reason that it is simply product
of the scalp and wholly dependent upon its action
The scalp is the very soil in which the hair is pro-
duced, nurtured and grown, and it alone should
receive the attention if results to be expected
1t would do NO earthly good to treat the stem of
plant with view of making it grow and become
more beautiful-the soil in which the plant grows
must be attended to. Therefore the scalp in which
the har grows must receive the attention If you are
to expect it to grow and become more beautiful
Loss of hair is caused by the scalp drying up
or losing its supply of moisture nutriment; when
badness occurs the scalp has simply lost all its
nourishment, leaving nothing for the hair to feed
upon Ia plantor even tree would die under similar
condtions.)
The natural thing to do in either case is to feed
and replenish the soil or scalp the case may be-
and your crop will grow and multiply as nature
intended It should.
knowton's Danderine has a most wonder
full effect upon the hair glands and tissues of the
scalp. IL Isl the only remedy for the hair ever
discovered that is similar to the natural hair
foods or liquids of the scalp.
1t penetrates the pores quickly and the hair
soon shows the effects of its wonderfully exhilar
ating aud life-producing qualities.
One 25-cent bottle is enough to convince you of
its great worth as a hair growing and hair beauti-
flying remedy-trY it and see for yourself.

Closing His Mouth.

A very sensible bit of advice ex-

by a man not long ago to an eXcitable
and quarrelsome friend. 1t was in Il

had engaged in an angry dispute
which eliminated in a fierce encoun-
ter. In the skirmish one of the COM
batants was hastily hurt on the head.
and the employer. who happened to
come on the scene of action. when the
fight was finishing and vas a man of
more temper than discretion. advised
the injured one to get a warrant for
the others arrest. While the matter
was being discussed by a number of
workmen who had gathered round 4
big, burly fellow who had heard ev-
erything and seen the whole affair
made his way to the man with the
damaged Uranium and said:
"You don't want to get no warrant,
Bill. You just go to the chemists shop
and get yerself two pieces of plarster-
good big ones-and put one piece on
yer head an the other on yer mouth.

you will find some refreshment. and
there is some fine brown sherry-dOn't
spare it-and then come up and see me
again." The doctor refreshed himself
and then came back to the patient
"Now. then" said Turner, what is it:
Do you still think so badly of my
case?" The doctor regretfully said he
could not alter his former opinion. The
artist shook his shoulders, turned his
face to the wall and never spoke again!

Born That WaY.

There is perhaps no point on which
the librarian and child disagree so en-

of the hands. A child whose hands

Of vicissitudes present themselves to
the dweller OF the wild regions. Mr..
Wiley in his History OF the White

man whose ingenuity withstood q cy-
clone. The incident took place in the
early days of Jackson.
4 terrible tornado passed over the
little settlement. 1t was so strong
hardly anything could stand before it.
Houses and barns were leveled. trees
were whirled about in the air like
sticks, and men and women were
caught up and carried along for rods.
One house was RACED to the ground,
and chairs, tables, beds, bedding and
children went flying about in the wind.
The father of the family. snatching his
babies from the rude grasp of the mon
ster, thrust the little folks heads
through two rails of q fence and left
them thus secured, with their legs
dangling in the wind. He then went
to look after his other property.
The five little children remained safe
in their fastening and. uninjured, out
rode the tempest.

Queer Auctions,

and then 80 golden sovereigns for the

kept up until a bid is secured. But it
by no leans follows that the house is
sold to this bidder. No. the auctioneer
is then at it again. Say that f4,400 is
the first bid. The auctioneer cries.
''There are % golden sovereigns for
the first man who has the courage to
bid G4,600." Perhaps no one has it
Then f25 is offered for a f4.550 bid. If
there is eventually no bid above the

it all.-Westminster Gazette.

On II occasion a certain lord bish-
op, eloquent and sanity. whose name
Is almost Il household word in Eng
land, was preaching at the opening of
Il new church and for Il few days
stayed at Il country house in the neigh
borhood. This bishop was excessively
fond of a game of billiards and could
hold his wv on the cloth against the
majority of amateurs.
During this visit his lordship played
several quiet games with his host. but
n morning had a prolonged run of
bad luck. which so eXasperated him
that at last he entirely lost his temper
and in his rage snapped the cue in two
across his knee.
This mad action seemed to bring the
bishop TO his senses, and with profuse
regrets he apolOgiZed to his host for
his conduct. declaring that he would
not have had it happen for the world.
But the host coolly replied:
81 must beg you. my lord. to think
no more about the matter. | am really
glad that it occurred. as for many
years | have been wishful to see what

neuver ut Pine Plain, n. Y, were held
in accordance with this scheme. The
perfection of the plan will bring the
federal and state troops together in
one great military organization trained
and equipped for any emergency.
Speaking of the plan while inspecting
the maneuvers at Pine Plain, General
Oliver said:
Two years from now we expect to
have u force of $4,000 men, regulars
and volunteers, modified at this camp
If the government purchases it.
'Our plan is to establish eight great
maneuver camps at different points
throughout the country. At these
N we Will assemble all regulars
not on foreign service and every regi-
ment of state volunteers.
There are no longer any militia
men," continued the general, with i
smile. They are all United States
volunteers. In the event of war they
are part of the regular army under the
new law. Up to this time the president
has been powerless to direct the man
agement of state troops. 1t is SO no

Cary Sanger as assistant secretary of
war. That was in 1903, when EIihu
Root was at the head of the depart

was long identified with the militia
