MELLEN'S PROPERTY LEVIED AGAINST
 IN BILLIARD SUIT

New Haven. Oct S-The feeling exists here in certain circles familiar with affairs of the New Haven com pany that the companyss suit against John T.. Billiard. s'Ed'' Robbins. Charles & Me1len and others. may re- suit in showing what was done with at least a. part of the millions which so nnysterious1y disappeared in the coffers Of the Billiard Company.
 It is said that this disappearsnce will not be unconnected with 1egis1a- tive campaigns in several New Eng land ata6es.
 Charles S. Meuea, coming from the grand jury roorns yesterday, expressed the view that the people bringing the suit must know more about the af- fairs or the road than he knew, and said no papers had been served on him, and that he didn't know whether any of his property had been at tached.
 The officers levied on residential property in New Haven, yesterday be- longing to c. s. MeIlen. Samuel More house. Edward O. Robbins and Harry v. Whfppie. all of whom were con- nected with the Billiard Company in one capacity or another.

 NO DANDRUFF-25 GENT DANDERINE

Besides beautifying the hair. one application of Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; invigorates the scalp, stopping itching and fall ing hair.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhilarating. stimulating and life producing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful.
 You can surely have pretty, soft, lustrous hair, and lots of 1t, if you will just get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter and try it as rected.-Adv.

Organization Of
Associated Charities
Has Been Perfected

The Lakeland Ministerial Asso
citation met in called session Thurs
day afternoon to perfect the organ
ization known as the Associated
Charities of Lakeland and vicinity.
After the plans had been perfected,
a committee of three was appointed
to call upon the city commission,
which was then in session, to ask
cooperation in this movement.
When the committee asked, the COM
mission readily responded with a
very liberal donation to be paid
monthly and also pledged their
hearty support in every particular.
The secretary was asked to meet
a representative of the Woman's
Club to fully explain the proposed
workings of this organization, after
which considerable purse was
turned over to the Associated Char
tiles to be distributed in the best
manner possible to the needy of our
city.
The president was instructed to
appoint a committee to visit the
business men of our town asking
monthly contribution for this cause.
Arrangements were also made 70,
all the churches of the city to make
donation for this purpose the first
Sunday in January.
The Ministerial Association is
very much elated over the future
outlook of this movement from the
fact that it is meeting with great
success on the very beginning. We
might state also that we are ready
now to take care of cases of destitu-
tion and earnestly request all citi-
zens to report any case that may
come under their observation to
some one of the ministers who will
Immediately make Investigations and
give relief. F. H. CALLAHAN,
Secretary.
