were the high priest of the Jews, in his
| highly colored and jeweled robes, the
lawyer, Tertullus, in mis- Roman toga,
and the elders of the Sanhedrin who
had come down from Jerusalem to be
witnesses against Paul. Of Tertullus
it was said that, by his persuasive
tongue, he could make white seem
black, and could therefore more easily
make it appear that Paul was "a dam
ger to the Roman power, and not mere
ly a turbulent and renegade jew" The
judge, Felix, was an exceptionally bad
governor, who two years later was re-
called by Nero to Rome. The infer
ence of verse two is that Paul was an
meter of rebellion and robberies, but
the exact charges were three-fold:
(See w. $50 {a) that Paul was
mover of insurrection; 90 that he was

who were causing trouble in the prov

charge of instruction would be espe-
cially obnoxious to Felix who had just
been praised for keeping peace in his
dominion. That of being a leader of
heresy was not serious, for the Romans
had no desire to Interfere between one

save your hair.
Get a 25-cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
plication you hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. 1t will become wavy and
fluffy and have the. appearance of
abundance, an Incompatible gloss and
softness; but what will please you
most will be after just few weeks
use, when you will actually see lot
of fine, downy hair-new hair-grow-

Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to

invigorates and strengthens them. It's

Dandruff Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve 1t, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this. get about four ounces OF
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring: use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all. of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. It is
inexpensive and four ounces is ali
you will need, no matter no wmuch
dandruff you have. This simple rem
edy never fails.-Adv.
