LOTS OF SOFT, FLUFFY, LUSTROUS
HAIR AND NEVER ANY DANDRUFF

This destructive scurf robs the hair
Of its lustre. its strength and its very
life, and If not overcome it produces
a feverishness and itching of the
scalp; the hair roots famish. loosen
and die; then the hair falls out fast.
II your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, don't hesitate but get a 25 cent
bottle of Knowlton's Danderine at
any drug store or, toilet counter; ap-
ply little as directed and ten min
dtes after you will say this was the
best investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless Of
everything else advertised that If you
desire soft. lustrous. beautiful hair
and lots of it-no dandruff-no Itch
ing scalp and no more falling hair
you must use Knowlton's Dandertne.
If eventually-why not now? A Is
cent bottle will truly amaze you.

How to Make Skirts
For a Growing Girl

When making dresses for little girl
who is growing rapidly allow six extra
inches in the length Of the skirt. Just
above the hem set in a deep tuck on
the wrong side; now above 1t put In
two or three small tucks on the right
side to hide the line where the deep one
has been made.
When the skirt needs frightening all
you have to do is to pull out the thread
of the deep tuck and down comes the
skirt without any trouble Of letting out
the hem and facing 1t up again.
The small tucks on the right side re-
main as they were. and serve to make
a pretty finish to the skirt.

Use Acid in Cleaning
Inside of Carafe

Every housekeeper who owns cut
glass carafe has been up against the
proposition Of cleaning out the deposit
on the inside. Hot water, besides being
extremely bad for the glass, is OF Mt
tie avail, even If 1t be very soapy. Here
is a process which takes but few mo-
ments and is very satisfactory.
Place in the bottle a teaspoonful OF
hydrochloric acid or spirits Of salts;
manipulate the bottle so that every
norton of II shall be thoroughly rinsed.
The deposit. no matter how hapdened,
will be removed Immediately. When the
carafe has been thoroughly cleaned,
rinse we'll in clear water.

Please answer the following questions:
What should be the age Of a girl in the
sixth grade? And is II proper for a girl
to read boys books? Thanking you in ad-
vance, l am, o. l. R.
A child generally starts to school in
the kindergarten when ne Is five, and
so II he advances one grade every year
he Is eleven or twelve years old when
he reaches the sixth grade. The exact
age depends upon the date OF his birth
day. It surely would be perfectly proper
for a girl to read good books that boys
read.
