LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL. GLOSSY HAIR,

If Dry Brittle, hin Your Scalp Itches and Is Full
of Dandruff- Use "Danderine."

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find
a single trace of Dandruff or loose
or failing hair and your scalp will
not itch. but what will please you
most will be after few weeks use,
when you will actually see new hair,
fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine will immediate
ly double the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle
and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it

and wavy, and have an appearance
of abundance; an Incompatible lustre
softness and luxuriance, the beauty
and simmer of true hair health.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove to yourself
tonight-now-that your hair is as
pretty and soft as any-that it has
been neglected or injured by careless
treatment-that's all-you surely can
have beautiful hair and lots of it if
you will just try little Danderine.

the inefficiency of the legislature until
the shortcomings of that body are a
matter of common fame. In recent
years scarcely a measure of real vi
talgimportance has been disposed of by
the legislature. Most all the big pro-
positions have been handled by the
people direct The chief reason for
this is the fact the legislature has
lacked the ability to perform the
functions for which it exists and has
lost popular confidence.
1t is more than time for the Oregon
legislature to bestir itself, to strive to
increase its own efficiency and to i'm
prove it's poor standing with the peo-
pie. There is need of higher stand
ard of membership and there are ways
whereby such reform can be brought
about There is need of more patri-
otism and less peanut politics in the
chambers. There is need of more
open candid work and less quiet
skullduggery. There is need of more
real legislation and less humbuggery.
Above everything else there is need
thet the legislature be made more
free than in the past and that 1t be-
come embued with a stronger desire
to serve the people.
During recent months We have had
much agitation for changes that would
restrict the initiative. These forces
should now unite in an effort to i'm
prove the legislature because legis-
lative inefficiency more than anything
else is responsible for the long initi-
ative and referendum ballot.
Oregon is now being treated to
new phase of swill barrel journalism.

Mexico,s Goat.

To get your goat in Mexico has no meaning other than to lay unlawful hands on the quadruped. The goat is to Mexico what the sheep is to Aus traHa and beef to old England, and more, because 1t is both meat and drink. The republic of bullfights and bandits could not get along without the humble little animal we have all ways associated with Harlem back yards and q diet of tin cans. It's flesh sells at IA cents a pound, Mexi- can money, and a steam1ng stew of tender young kid is not to be despised by a hungry man. Every Mexican hotel serves goat meat in some form or other. A fat goat sells for $3 on the hoof, and lean one brings only $1-50. The ta11ow sells at 12 cents a pound and is commonly used in place of lard. The skins are worth $1.5O each, and the milk retails at 121a cents a Quart.-New York Press.
