GIRLS! HAVE WAW,
 THICK, CbOSST HAIR
 FREE FROM DANDRUff
SAVE YOUR HAIRi DOUBLE ITS BEAUTY IN A FEW Mo-
 MENTS-TRY THIS!

If you care for heavy hair, that glistens with beauty and is radiant with life; has an incomparaole soft ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
 Just one application doubles the beauty of your hair, besides it i'm mediately dissolves every particle of dandruff; you cannot have nice heavy, healthy hair if you have dan druff. This destructive scurf robs the hair of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very life, and if not overcome it pro- duces a feverishness and itching ot the scalp; the hair roots famish, loos- en and die; then the hair falls out fast.
 If your hair has been neglected and is thin, faded, dry scraggy or too oily get 25-cent bottle of knowlton $ Danderine at an ydrug store or toilet counter; apply little as directed af1o ten minutes after YOU will say this was the best investment you ever made.
 1 We sincerely believe, regardless oi everything else advertised, that ii you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and lots of it-no dandrutf- no itching scalp and no more falling hair-you must use Knowlton Dan dcrlne. If eventually-why not now

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS

& The nervous system is the alarm system of the human body.
 In perfect health we hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength Is declin- ing, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful sleep, irritablity and unless corrected, leads straight to breakdown.
 To correct nervousness, Scott's Ernu1- sion is exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nervecells while the whole system responds to its refresh ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.

MITCHELL 10 PROMOTE
 NAVAL PROPAGANDA
CONWAY MAN ARRIVES TO TAKE UP NEW WORK AT
 LITTLE ROCK.

Mason E. Mitchell, who has been connected with the United States na- wy for number of years, returned to Conway today, and will again make Arkansas his residence, after an ab- sence of IT years. Mir. Mitchell has been appointed division secretary of the Navy League of the United States, and will organize division of the league in the state. Mir. Mitch ell has often visited Conway during the past years, and is well known in Arkansas. His mother, Mrs. Laura H. Mitchell, is one of the oldest resi- dents of Conway. In addition to or- ganizing this state, MT. Mitchell will visit the states of Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, where he will deliver lectures on "A Strong Navy for Pro lection, Adequate National De- fense," "A Large Naval Reserve and other kindred subjects.
 "The Navy League is an associa- tion of those people who believe in a navy of sufficient strength absolutely to insure this country against the possibility of ever being obliged to meet an armed force on it's own soil and suffer in its own territory the horrors of war and invasion," said Mr. Mitchell to the Log Cabin Demo crac.
 l "The Navy League was founded in 1901 and is by far the oldest and best organized of the national defense so- cieties. 1t numbers among it's mem- Dcrs in the neighDorhood of 15,000 representative American citizens from every walk in life. Despite the fact that the Navy League has among it's members some or the most wealthy and influential citizens of this coun- try, it has always been movement of the people and by the people. It holds that the only logical course for the United States to pursue to insure absolute freedom from attack and in- vasion is to take advantage of its wonderful position of strategic isola- tion and create navy sufficiently powerful to hold the sea against any possible opponent. Situated as we aare, separated by more than 5000 miles of sea from the nearest power full military nation, as long as our navy can hold command of our ocean approaches we can rest secure in peace and safety.
 ''The Navy League does not recom- mend powerful navy for aggression but for defense. Battleships can not conquer provinces or contend with armies, but they can surely and abso- lutely prevent any aggressively in clined nation from sending armies tc pillage and desolate our own country and if any such nation should force us into war, they can keep the savage business of killing far from our owr homes and shores"
 MT. Mitchell has already made good progress in the organization o1 the Arkansas division, he says. He has just returned from Washington City, where he spent four weeks, ano has the work we'll in hand. Or Thursday MT. Mitchell was a guest of Captain Eberle of the United States navy, who is an Arkansas mar and is now the superintendent of the United States Naval Academy at An napolis. Captain Eberle is very en. thusiastic about the organization o1 the Arkansas division, and is mem Der of the state committee which is being formed.
