this was not in any degree response

The news Of Professor Dyche's
death reached the state house just as
members Of the legislature and state
officers were leaving and expressions
of sorrow were universal.
1T is a great loss to the state, .
said Former Governor E. w. Hoch

echoed.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very

if not remedied causes the hair roots

Danderine from any store, and after
the first application your hair will
take on that life, luster and luxuriance
which is so beautiful. It will become
