NOT A Particle
OF DANDRUFF OR
A failing HAIR
Save Your Hair! Double Its Beauty
in Just Few Moments.
25-Cent "Danderine" Makes Hair
Thick, Glossy, Wayy and
Beautiful.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be
after q few weeks use. when you see
new hair, fine and downy at first-yes
but really new hair-growing all
over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. II goes right to the
roots, invigorates and strengthens
them. It's exhilarating, stimulating
and producing properties cause
the hair TO grow long, strong and
beautiful.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference 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 lustre,
softness and luxuriance
Get a 25-cent bottle OF Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter. and prove that your
hair is as pretty and soft as any
that il 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 a
little Danderine.

Tommy a hero is a faithful pipe that
will stand by him In any emergency" i"
Recently, he has cited concrete ex-
amples to prove this thesis and per-
suade the British public to contribute
more literally towards the tobacco
pouch in France and the Dardanelles.
There was Lieutenant w. Forshaw.

four hours, using his pipe and cigar
cites for lighting fuses. Tommy in

lighter just as effectively, but that
without smoking he could not have
withstood the strain
There was T.. Berry, sapper of the
First London Field Company He
found a parapet too high for his ma
chine gun. So he lighted his pipe,
climbed the parapet, and pulling the
gun up after him, continued in ac-
ton. He got the Distinguished Con-
duct Medal for il. But Tommy in
sists that the encouragement of his
pipe did It.
Only a soldier at the front, Tommy
insists, knows the real value Of a
smoke. To illustrate, he declares
there was a Tommy, who, during the
retreat from Mons, was lucky enough
10 find a horse. He kept astride for
a whole day. making fair progress.
Then he traded the nag to an artil-
leryman for a package of cigarettes.
Just as he knew would be the case,
the Tommy was able. with a cigar
ette in his mouth, to make faster
progress afoot than astride.
Even civilian life has been drawn
upon by Tommy to move the British
public to contributions Following
the fall of Liege last year. he asserts
that an aged man with two grandchil-
dren limped into Ostend after a
tramp of over 100 miles He had NO
money and only what food was given
by charitable people along the way

Mr.. Mack estimated that the plan

the cost of fixing the grounds would
be $4,000. $4,000 would be required

200 for a swimming pool.
Mr.. Mack was instructed to prepare
estimates for filling up the Conrad
street playground, the Diamond State
playground and a playground at
Prices Run in the Ninth ward. II was
decided to call a special meeting of
the board to consider these estimates
and a request will then be made to
City Council for sufficient money to
carry out Mr.. Mack's plans.
Il was derided to request City
Council to provide funds for the pur-
chase of a plot of acres at Duncan
street. Eighth avenue and the B. & o.
railroad. which will be used as an
athletic field. President William p.
Bancroft announced that he had ar
ranged TO buy the plot for $500 and
hold It for the city.

Pierre S. DUPONT and the DUPONT Pow

OF ground at the Rising Sun Bridge

the French tobacco is vile. Yet he
has to admit that the French "poilus"
fights just as bravely as he does. His
only explanation is that possibly the
French soldier has some other source
