FOR DANDRUFF, FALLING HAIR Oh
ITCHY SCALP -25 CENT DANDER|NE
Save your hair Danderine destroys dandru and stops
falling hair at once-Grows hair, we prove it.

If you care for heavy hair. that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life: has an incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, you must use
Danderine, because nothing else accom-
plshes so much for the hair.
Just one application of Knowlton's
Danderine will double the beauty
OF your hair, be-ides it imme-
diateIy dissolves every particle Of
dandruff: you can not have nice. heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruff. This
destructive scurf rObS the hair of its
luster, its strength and its very life, and
if not overcome it produces 4 fever
ishness and itching Of the scalp; the
hair roots famish, loosen and die: then

the hair falls out fast
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too oily
don't hesitate, but get a % cent bottle
Of Knowlton's Danderine at any drug
store or toilet counter; apply little
as directed and ten minutes 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 itching
scalp and no more falling hair-you
must use Knowlton's Danderine. II
eventually-why not now? A rs cent
bottle will truly amaze you. (Advt.)

Because it is both human and hu-
morous, Bought and Paid For which
William A. Brady Ltd. will present at

George Broadhursts greatest play and
moreover il takes rank among Amer
lean plays recently produced. Not

not one of those tiresome business
plays i'm which the stock ticker Is the

the trafiicing i'm a woman's ideals and
these i'm the end rise superior TO mere

the principle of self respect To flourish
strongly before the final curtain. The
poor little telephone girl who marries
a rich bachelor fer his money, even
after having had her eyes opened to
his dcplorable taste in home dccora-
tons may remind one of a Laura Jean

OLDEST CITY IN WORLD.


The great archaeological authority,
sir William Ramsay. considers the old
est city in the world 10 be the city
of Iconium. i'm Konia. as II is called
today. The modern lconium has very
mucn 20 interest the traveller, and
know Of no place in all Asia Minor
which has left more abiding impress
sion upon my mind than this cityi Our
visit to be sure was IN midwinter.
The snow WAS still piled high I'm some
of .he streets; the wind blow shrill and
gustily through the narrow alleys. but
o day or two of warm sunshine con-
tended with the north wind for the
mastery. and changed the whole as
pect Of things even IN this forbiddine
season.
The city derived it's name from the
i3ikoncs or images Of mud which. ac-
cording to the ancient legends of the
place, were made by Prometheus and
Athena at The command of Jupiter
Who, after the great food, caused the
winds to blow upon the cikoncs and
they became living men and women.
Thus. according e this tradition, Icon
ium was the first place settled af-
ter the Hood. But the traditions of
the place go back even beyond the
food 10 the time of King Nannakos,
who was told by the oracle that when
he died there should come a mighty
deiuge i'm which all men should per-
ish Thereupon he called all the peo-
pie together to a great temple and
cried SO bitterly and with such a
Hood of tears i'm which his PhrN gian
subjects joined, that the weeping in
the time of Nannakos" became pro-
verb even among the Greeks of later
days

FIRE LOSS is
IL CANAL COST
Expert Makes Interesting Com
PARSONS With Productions

The tremendous fire waste Of the
United States and Canada. set forth in
the story o! "A Five Years Fight
Against fire Waste" by Powell Evans
chairman OF the Fire Prevention Com
mittee for the CITY OF Philadelphia
ard for several civic and commercial
associations.
The following table based upon tbs
latest available data, shows the aver
age annual per capita fire loss of the
United States at large and the prin-
clpal cities of the United States and
Europe;
The Calumet news., 1912-09-05
Average per capita

Fire waste I'm the United States and
Canada is about ten times that OF
Western Europe. IL averages broadly
S2bO. .OOO, 900 yearly, with $I5O.OOO,OO0
added expense for protective measures
imperatively demanded by this great,
continuous, and increasing loss.
The 1919 fire waste would pay the to-
tal interest bearing debt of the cOun-
try in four years; or would build the
Panama canal in less than two years.
In other terms it exceeds the COM
hined cost of the United States Army
and Navy and the interest on the ma
lional debt: or nearly equals the CON-
hined annual failures and pension pay
ments I'm the United States; or exceeds
The combined United States gold and
silver production and postofiice depart
ment receipts-these all annual figures.
Nearly EQUALS Federal Revenues.
1t represents about 40 per cent of
either the total unused United States
government receipts or total eXpendi-
lures, or the net earnings of AneTi-
can railways; il represents about so
lper cent of either the United States In
ternal Revenue receipts or the United
states Customs or the interest paid
| on the railways i'm the country The
| fire waste of the United States IN the
| past ten years exceeds the amount
uf gold held in the United Kingdom,
| Austria. Hungary. Italy and Spain. 1t
is equivalent to wiplng out the entire
corn crop once every ten years, and
] exceeds the annual value iof wheat,
I hay. rye. and oats. II is twice tine an
| nual value of the cotton crop. II costs
about $50, ,OOo for each hour in the wear,
or $500 for each minute. 1t costs, more
over. more than 1900 lives and 5000
serious injuries annually.
The annual fire loss of the United
States on a ten years average, for the
years ur to the end of 1902 (prior TO
the great Baltimore and San Francis
co fros) was s146,552,s65; and up to
1905 was S19S,1S1,1Ss.
The tremendous size of this waste
may better be realized when measured
with familiar items in our national ex-
pendture
