POUREN DEFENSE LEAGUE
PLANS MASS MEETING
Great Gathering to Protest
Against Deportation of
Political Refugees

The Pouren defense league will hold
a mass meeting this afternoon at
o'clock for the purpose of yoicing a
determined and effective protest
against the deportation of Jan Janoff
Pouren and other Russian political
refugees.
The meeting will be attended by
Russians, Firms, Poles, Let's. Lithua
mans, Esthonians, the members of the
Jewish workmen's circle, the German
workmens verein and the socialists of
San Francisco and vicinity.
The labor unions have been invited
to attend, and in view of the fact that
the California state federation of labor
when in session at San Jose. passed a
strong resolution against the extradi-
tion of Pouren, it is thought that many
representatives of the trades unions
will be present.
Speeches will be made by Austin
Lewis, Selig Schulberg, George Speed
and Colonel Petrovsky, the last named
of whom was formerly an exile in
Siberia Two o'clock is the time SET

From Tiny Beginning Will
Entertain Members

ST. Elizabeth's church, of which
Father McNaboe is pastor, will benefit
by bazaar which will open tomorrow
evening and continue through Saturday
evening in San Bruno hall, 2570 San
Bruno avenue. The presence of a
Santa Claus with an efficient corps of

cial appeal to the members of the little
church and to the publics as we'll, ask
ing that the booths be patroniZed in
order that funds may be secured for
charging the church edifce, which has
long since been too small to accom-
modate its parishioners.
The greater number OF the members
of the parish of st. Elizabeth were
affected by the earthquake and fire
and were forced to seek homes in this
district. Realizing the need of a Catho-
lie church to administer to their wants
Archbishop Riordan appointed Father
McNaboe to the work of building UP a
new pastorate. For the first few weeks
services were held in a private resi-
dence. Then small wooden struc-
ture was erected, and this has since
been increased in size Father Me
Naboe and his parishioners are now
working to secure funds for the pur-
chase price of a new site and they
hope to erect a church of sufficient
size to anticipate the future growth of
the district.
In addition to the features of the en-
tertainment program which will be
given each night for the benefit of the
children there Will be music, songs and
dances for the amusement of the
grownups the bazaar will be opened

Beautiful Hair at Small Cost

IL AIR troubles. like many other diseases. have
4 1 been wrongly diagnosed and altogether mis-
understood The hair itself is not the thing to
be treated for the reason that 1t IS simply product
of the scalp and wholly dependent 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 earthly good to treat the stem of a
plant with view of making it grow and become
more beautifui-the soil in which the plant grows
must be attended TO. Therefore the scalp in which
the hair 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 nutrinent: when
badness occurs the scalp has simply lost all its
nourishment. leaving nothing for the hair to feed
upon "a plant even tree would die under similar
conditionsl
The natural thing to do in either case is to feed
and replenish the soil scalp as the may be,
and your crop will grow aud multiply as nature
intended it should.
knowlton's Oanderine has most wonder
full effect upon the hair glands and tissues of the
scalp. II is 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 exhilaT-
ating and life-producing qualities
One 25cent bottle is enough to convince you of
It's great worth hair growing and hair beauti-
flying remedy-trY it and see for yourself.
