IT ISN'T YOUR TOWN-1ys YOU.

Ii you want to live in the kind of a
town
Like the kind of a town you like.
You needn't slip your clothes in grip
And start on long, long hike.
YoU'll only find what you left behind,
For theirs nothing that's really new
It's knock at yourself when you
knock your town.
1t isn't your town-it's YOU,
Real towns are not made by men afraid
Lest somebody else gets ahead.
N0en everyone works and nobody
shirks
You can raise town from the dead.
And if while you make your general
stake
Your neighbor can make one, too,
1our town will be what you want to
see.
It isn't your town-it's YOU.

EUROPEAN WAR STILL WAG1NG.
Activities Centered Mostly in West;
Many Fatalities and ImpriSOnments.

London, Nov. 29.-Latest official an
nouncements still claim advantage in
the fighting in Northern Poland, but
deprecates exaggerated reports of
their successes. Germany declares
officially that the Russian attacks have
been repu1sed and that Geoman coun-
ter-attacks- havebeen successful.
The German Emperor has joined
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg in the
East to offer his advice and to en-
courage his troops.
Enormous losses have been inflicted
OH the Germans, according to the Rus
sian statement, but no mention is
made of the capture of German divis-
ions, SO freely. claimed by the Petro-
grad correspondents of London and
Paris papers.
Some days must elapse before this
battle, which promises to prove the
most decisive of the war, is concluded.
So far all that is definitely known is
that the. German advance has been
stopped. Some of the German troops
have been partly or wholly surround
ed but they still are fighting stubborn
~ to break their way through the
Russian lines, APPARENTLY to the north
werd, where they hope to joint rein
forcements from Thorn.
In the battle before Cracow the
Russians claim decisive success Dur
ing the last week they took 10000
prisoners in that region, which is
taken in Petrograd to mean that Cra-
COW vii not bar the Russian advance
in Silesia from the South but that,
with the Austrian army beaten, it will
be necessary only to mask the fort
resses.
The Russians also announce success
nthe Austrian side of the Carpa-
thians aid against the Turks in the
Caucasus, although in both regions
worst of weather has prevailed.
In the west, the Germans, although
making an occasional infantry attack
seem content at present to lombard
the allied positions with somewhat
lighter guns than they have been
using.
This man mean either that they are
troops and artilledy to the east or
that they are preparing a new attack
against the allies.

These ladies are going to give their
time to sell these seals and they
earnestly ask the cooperation of the
entire city both in the purchase of
seals and in an interest in the anti
tuberculosis fight. Seventy five per
cent of the proceeds of the sale of
| these seals in Henderson county
nay be retained in the county for use
| IN preventing and curing tuberculosis
Il such a need is found. The other
twenty-five per cent goes to the State
and National fight against this disease,

ing extent that people every where
are being aroused to action.
The Red Cross Seal Movement.
Few people have any conception Of
the magnitude of the Red Cross Christ
mas Seal campaign. Here are few
figures that will show what gigan-
tic movement this is. Already 49,
000, 600 seals have been printed for
the Xmas sale of 1914, and practically
| that entire number distributed to
agents in almost every State of the
Union. Probably 100000 more will
be needed Advertising circulars,
posters, cards, etc., to the number OF
several million have also been distrf-
buted. It is estimated that the army
of paid and volunteer workers engag-
ed in selling the seals number well
ever 100000. The advertising and
publicity donated to the campaign
amount to several hundred thousand
dollars Every effort is being put
1 forth this year, to sell 100, 100000
seals, or about one for every man,

GIRLS! GIRLS! TRY 1T,
 BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
MAKE TT THICK, GLOSSY, NAVY LUXURANT AND REMOVE
 ALL DANDRUFF.
ON u, S. RESERVATION.

Your hair becomes light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and appears as soft, lustrous and beautiful as a young girls after 'Danderine hair cleanse. Just try this-moisten a cloth with little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and ex- cessive oil and in just a few mo- ments you have doubled the beauty of your hair
 Besides beautifying the hair at once, Danderine dissovles every par ticle of dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair.
 But what will please you most will be after a few weeks use when you will actually see new hair-fine and downy at first-yes--but ready new hair growing all over the scalp. If you care for pretty, soft hair and lots of it surely get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any druggist or toilet counter, and just try it.
