TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
cIrlsI Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful. NO
More itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation Of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after q
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy. and have an appearance OF
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get q Is cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair Is as pretty and soft
as any-that 1t 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 lit
tie Danderine. Adv.

HUMOR DISFlGURED BABY

Clarendon, N. C.-"My baby was
broken out with a red, thick and
rough-looking humor when about two
months old. It would come in patches
and went almost all over her in that
way. The places were like ringworm
and as they would spread they would
turn red and make sores and itch.
The trouble went to her face aud
disfigured her badly. Her clothes ir.
ritated it.

Naturally. in country with the
physical characteristics of Greece,
the activities of much OF rural
population are pastoral. me
goatherd is a familiar figure every
where; the shepherd also. but to less
degree. The goat, indeed. Is the
Greek peasants COW. providing him
with milk, cheese, and flesh. 1t Is in
teresting to note that the herdsmen
still retain that knack OF throwing
the voice from height to height across
the intervening valleys, which in
classic times made possible the trans
mission Of news at a speed that al
most rivalled the modern telegraph.

strictly, Albanian in origin Is DYING
out in Greece, but is still worn by
many peasants, though donned in
fullest glory only on festal occasions
Usually the working garb is pair
of shoddy trousers in place of the
snowy fustanella, or kilt, and fiimsy
cotton blouse generally of greyish
drab color and a check pattern), which
has very full skirts, and thus appears
to end in a quaint abbreviated petit
coat
In Thessaly, where "reminiscences OF
Turkish rule survive, not only in the
mosques and other buildings, but in
the habits and appearance Of the peo-
pie, the fez is not unusual, and gar
ments in the Turkish mode OF baggy
breeches and a sash round the middle
are often seen. 1t was from the grea.
plain of Thessaly that the ancient
Greeks obtained their finest horses tot
the type seen in the Parthenoi frieze),
and in this northern part Of Greek ter
ritory horse-breeding is still an import
ant pursuit.
The windmills Of Greece perhaps de-
serve word of notice. In place OF
the cumbrous great arms which a
similar structure in this country car
ries, the Greek windmill carries sails
of canvas which can be spread to
greater or less extent, as circum-
stances require, upon the spiders web
like arrangement Of spokes to which
they are attached. The wells also
or, at least, their machinery for draw
ing the water--are often of very
curious pattern. 1t is no uncommon
thing to see blindfold donkey
patiently perambulating circle and
supplying motive power, through the
beam to which he is harnessed, to an
arrangement of clumsy wooden cog
| wheels actuating an endless chain of
earthen pots, which automatically
empty themselves of the fluid hOisted
from the depths.
But Greek peasant activities are by
no means entirely agricultural and
! pastoral In addition to currants and
vines, are orange groves at Kalamata
yielding superb fruit scarcely inferior
to that Of Jaffa, and tobacco is grown
in various districts. The mineral re-
sources of the country are consider
able, and large numbers of workers
find employment in the lead mines OF
Lavrion, in the marble quarries OF
Pentelicon and elsewhere. Among
the accompanying photographs will be
found a picture taken at the mag
nestle Quarries Of Limme, in Euboea,
which are worked by British com
pany under a concession from the
monks at Galatake, near by.
