More itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you cannot find
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hairvgrowing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance Of
abundance; an incompatible luster
softness and luxuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle Of Knowltons
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that 1t has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it If you will just try lit

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED
IN WESTERN CANADA
Those Who Exercise Thrift, PraC-

Reasonable Methods Are
Sure to Prosper.

Those who are interested In devel-
oping the agricultural resources Of
Western Canada in bringing to the
notice OF those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming In
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor but It has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either In money or labor, than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds OF cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either homestead, or purchased from
railways or land companies. and with
little capital at the start have &C.
quired a competence, have established
good homes for themselves, and pro-
vided sure future. They have com.
