WHAT DO you MEAN BY HOOK
OR CROOK?

When an English peasant of the
niddles ages went to the forest to
gather wood for the fire he carried a
crook with which to gather up the
dead boughs and sticks, and a hook
to break of small boughs. The for
estry laws were very severe, and any
one caught cutting down trees with
an ak was punished. So the peasant
gathered his frewood by hook and
BY crook, and. through neither hook
nor crook are now in use, the express
sion is as popular as it was in the
middle ages.

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FUEE FROM DANDRUFF
GIRLS! TRY 1T! YOUR HAIR GETS
SOFT, FLUFFY AND LUX
URIkNT AT ONCE.

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and iustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolyes every particle Of
dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have dan
druff, This destructive scurf robs the
hair Of its lustre it's strength and its
very life and if not overcome it pro
duces a feverishness and itching OF
the scalp; the hair roots famish
loosen and die; then the hair falls
cut fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
thin, aided, dry, seraggy or toe
oily, get % cent bottle of Knowi
( tons Danderine at any drug store OF
toilet counter; apply a little as direct
cd and ten minutes after you will say
this was the best investment yor
ever made
! We sincerely believe, regardless o.
Everything else advertised, that if yol
desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hail
and lots of it-no dandruff-no itch
ing scalp and no more falling hair
you must use Knowlton's Danderine
