Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing SO destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
Of its luster, its strength and its very

hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a rs cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and l~uxuriance
which is so beautiful. 1t will become
wavy and fluffy and have the appear
ance of abundance; an Incompatible
gloss and s~oftness. but what will
please you most will be after just a
few weeks use, when o will actual

hair-growing all over the scalp. Adv.

A similar congress was held in At.

very cream of oratory that has been

pent-up souls which finally bursted
and emptied their great waters of elo-
quence upon mankind as the glorious
river spend it's all upon the sea- 1t
is the immortal Frederick Douglass
who speaks as the continuous roar
OF the oceans, always majestic, full of
grandeur, never peaceful only when
in the calm logic of Truth. Hear c..
