 Gsnderine is. we believe. the only sure hais grower; destroyer of dand ruff and cure for itchy scalp and it never fails to stop falling hair at once.
 If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair taking one small strand at a time Your hair will be soft, glossy and beautiful in just few moments-a delightful surprise awaits everyohe who tries this adv

MUST BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAN
Hands of Surgeon, Before Performing
Operations, Are Washed In Most
Thorough Manner.

Most people attribute the immense
ly decreased rate of mortality in cases
of severe surgical operations to the
increased skill of the profession, to
their greatly improved instruments,
and the more skilful nursing which is
obtained in these days. But the sur
geon himself would tell you that it
is almost all a matter of absolute
cleanliness, the fact that nothing is
left undone to insure absolute free
dom from infection of any kind. This
fact is emphasized by the extraordi-
nary hand-washing regulations which
are In force at the various hos
pitfalls. Everybody who is even re-
motely connected with an approach
ing operation is supposed to spend
20 minutes in the all-important proc
ess of washing his hands.
For five minutes the surgeon
washes his hands with soap and wa
ter. and then cleans his flnger-nails.
When he has done this he spends
another FIVE minutes doing 1t all over
again. But this is but preparation
for a third and far more drastic alb
luton, for this time he must wash
his hands in alcohol Not content with
this cleansing process, he must now
put his hands through process OF
sterilization by soaking them for at
least five minutes In wash OF zorro
sive sublimate. BY that time he may
commence his duties, which mean life
or death to some patient, with the sat
isfactory feeling that he has done
his best to approach his task with
clean hands.

Styles and Men.

This is-well, let's say amusing
this dictate of fashion that men must
wear in 1914 clinging garments-isn't
it? Because some Of us must either
adopt pads or endure the mockery Of
the masses while parading in the
gulse OF human scarecrows or Punch
and Judy shows-if clinging buds do
master masculinity. And some of us
will lose one large subject of CONVEX
sation and laughter. for we won't any
longer be able to criticize the gar
ments of our sisters, wives and affini-
ties. II any one consideration can do
more than another to prevent the gen.
eral adoption of tight styles for men
this loss of critical opportunity is like
ly to be the thing, isn't 1t? 1t never
will do to give ladies an opportunity to
turn the batteries of laughter on the
masculine half Of humanity, will it?
or course a compromise may be ar.
ranged-but compromises seldom wear
we'll, do they?-Detroit Free Press.
