TAKES OFF DANDRUFF

Girisi Try Thisl 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 a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at frst-yes-but
really new 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 a % cent bottle of Knowlton's

passed out of existence The turkey rattle with
dice is still a custom in some parts of the coun-
try. Usually the turkey. is a tough bird, which
purchased cheap by the proprietor of the
saloon (for the rattle usually takes place there)-
The rattle, of course, draws crowd of men, who
incidentally patronize the bar during the pro-
ceedings. Another sportve feature of Thanks
giving longer in vogue the shooting
match, where live turkeys tied to sticks were
used. This cruel practice abandoned be-
cause the New England clergy objected, not
account of its cruelty, but because it kept the
men away from the church service This reason
to fit in with the idea of the back IL
the seventeenth century who, while they were
eating Thanksgiving dinner of venison. discov-
cred that the deer had been killed Sunday
They at sent for the Indian and had him
publicly whipped. and also compelled him to
return the money which he had been paid for
the deer This being DONE they at
sumed their dinner and finished up the venison.
New York city is responsible for the strangest
of all Thanksgiving customs and which has
only recently died out Young and boys
used to dress themselves in fantastic garb and
parade the streets-hundreds OF the boys wear
Ing their sisters old Clothes their faces smeared
with paint and their heads covered with wigs
AS late as 1885 they held parades and made the
street hideous with their humping drums and
blarng trumpets- In 1870 this queer perform
took the dignity of political parade and
prizes were distributed to the companies wearing
the most unique clothing Senator William NJ
Tweed, the ia political boss of that period,
the donor of a prize of $500 in gold This
custom undoubtedly a survival of Guy
Fawkes days, carried later day in the
year; for some unknown reason it was practiced
only in New York city
Thanksgiving has always been day of char
ity and in the old days it was considered bad
luck to turn even tramp from the door, and
today friendly INNS almshouses and charit
able Institutions have their turkey dinners, usual
" gifts from charitable people Our prisons too
serve their inmates with hearty meal and have
some sort of service of praise. The customs of
the great national holiday may have changed
somewhat, yet the spirit of the first Thanksgfv-
ing. which held Plymouth, in 1921, still
hovers about the national day of prayer and
praise of the twentieth century-a spirit OF

accordance with the rules applying
to the common herd.
The only consideration shown these
hitherto privileged personages was
that II was left to the "Bundesrat"
Council OF the Empire) to select the
officials that are to collect the taxes
from the members Of the sovereign
houses.
There is every reason to believe
that the Reichstag as a whole will
adopt the measure recommended by
the committee, and when this hap
pens. the Bundesrat has no choice but
to accept the principle of sovereign
Princes liability to taxation or to
refuse to accept the law.
Appealed in Empires Name.
The latter alternative however
seems entirely out of the question,
since 1t was in the name of the Bun
desrat and the sovereign Princes that
the Imperial Government appealed to
the patriotism Of the people and en-
phasized the absolute necessity of the
law.
1t would be impossible to refuse
to accept the law merely because 1t
compels the Princes to pay their
share of the extraordinary military
expenses. At any rate, the Imperial
Government has rendered the SOW
ereign Princes a very poor service
by maintaining the theory Of their
freedom from taxation.
