Advice to the
Lovelorn
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
TELL YOUR FATHER.
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear MISS Fairfax:
gentleman friend calls at the
house every night in the week. If
he happens to see me talking to
another man, he pulls me away
from him. He has very jealous
disposition He claims he loves
me, but | only care for him as a
friend. ] have told him several
times to keep away, but he does
not listen to me. DAISY.
His possessive attitude toward you
not only is distasteful to you, but will
cause unpleasant comments from
others. Stay in your room rather than
see him, If that does not cure him
tell your father or your brother.

FALLING HAIR MEANS

Save your Hair! Get a 25-cent bottle

Thin, brittle, cOlorness and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of neglected
scalp. of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the
hair of its lustre, its strength and
its very life; eventually producing
a feverishness and itching of the
scalp which, if not remedied, causes
the hair roots to shrink, loosen and
die-then the hair falls out fast.
A little Danderine tonight-now-
any time-will surely save your hair.
Get a % cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or

plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luXuriance which
is so beautiful. 1t will become wavy

in need of changes. They realize
that there are instances where the
appraisal may be too high and they
are confident. that there are instances
where it is too low. 1t is believed
by persons informed in the matter
that a reappraisement of the lands
for the next five years leasing will
result in increased revenues for the
schools as we'll as in corrections of
some inequalities in favor of the
lessees.
Officials who will be members of
the new school land commission are
taking lively interest in the relations
of the lessees and in the welfare of
the school funds under their control.
1t is the idea of some new members
that there should be careful read
iustment of the machinery of the
school land office with the view of
making the force efficient in the
last degree and of effecting such
economies in administration as shall

1t is the idea Of these members
that the first thing to be done by
the new administration will be to
make a careful survey of the office
and its methods, rather than TO make
appointments of officials under the

be that there will be some delay
