Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find q
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing 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 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, fuffy and
wavy, and have an appearance OF
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Dandevine 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 q
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of 1t if you will just try q lit

employed there. Warrants were issued
and the marshal was directed to bring
the indicted ones before the bar.
"Call Mary Garden" said the judge.

There was an appreciable delay. and
then suddenly the door opened and
into the crowded court room came two
men dragging. at the end of powerful
chain, an angry lioness, who ex-
pressed her disapproval of the situa-
tion by emitting deafening roar.
When the stampede was stopped and
order restored the overenthusiastic

LIQUOR AND HEALTH.

Important evidence with regard to
liquor and the public health was
brought before the committee on the
regulation of the liquor traffic in the
District of Columbia by Prof. Irving
Fisher of Yale university. Professor
Fisher showed
That the lowering Of the death rate
In London has been exactly parallel
to the lowered consumption of liquor
in that city.
That the lessening of liquor con-
sumption in Sweden has been fol-
lowed by a remarkable lowering Of
its already low death rate.
That alcohol, even in moderate
quantity, actually lessons efficiency,
mental and physical.
That alcohol greatly increases the
susceptibility to disease.
That alcohol is an important cause
of insanity.
That alcohol lessons the average
length of life. as shown by the re-
ports of insurance companies and
friendly societies. ~..
That alcohol increases poverty.
These are the findings of cold
science. not the testimony of anti
lcohol enthusiasts.

DRINK STATISTICS.


Figures showing an increase since
1904 of three gallons per capita in the
nations consumption of alcoholic
drinks need footnote.
While the average consumption for
1918 was 22.6S, the average in 1907
and again in 1911 was 22.79. This
gives the Prohibitionists fair argu-
ment for the success of their labors
In at least preventing an increase.
What is more, the actual consumers
of alcohol are estimated to be about
25.5 per cent of the total population,
with an average Of SO gallons each.
OF this 255 per cent it would be inter
esting to know what proportion do the
heavy drinking.
If hard drinkers drink more but
grow fewer while the number of those
who drink little or nothing keeps fair
ly steady, totals and averages need
not cause much worry to temperance
workers.-New York World.
