TAKES OFF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Save your Hair! Get a IS cent bottle
of Danderine right now-Also
stops itching scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence Of a neglected
scalp; Of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and it's very
life; eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a rs cent bottle Of Knowltons
Danderine from any drug store You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of 1t if you will just try a little Dan.
derine, Save your hair! Try it!

Little Miss Muffffet,
She sat on tUffet,
Whatever a tuffet may be.
Along came her mother,
Her sister and brother,
Miss Muffet was one child of three.
They talked about eating,
Discussed food-price cheating,
For many long hours through the
day.
Then along came the grocer,
And, say, do you know, sir?
He frightened the Muffets away.

Claus \. Spreckels. president OF the
Federal Sugar Refining Company, yes
terday scored the action Of the Demo,
cratic caucus in favoring the repeal

the American public about S9O,O0O,ooo
wear. Mr.. Spreckels said:
"If free sugar is actually repealed
by the Democrats II means the con
sumner will be required TO pay about
SOC, 900 900 year more for sugar than
would be the case II free sugar went
into effect May /, 1916, as originally
promised.
"To the dealer this means an in
creased cost Of $3.50 a barrel. II this
could be saved Il would be of particu-
lar advantage TO the consumer, because
az this time prices are high on account
Of the European war. II the govern
ment received the full amount paid by
the people as q result Of the tariff tax
il could be defended on revenue
grounds. but Of the S90,000,0OO paid
the government secures but $4,000
GOO. the remaining S50,OOOOOO beng
distributed as an indirect subsidy
among the domestic producers.
ION account Of the governments eI-
traordinary expenditures. II we neglect
70 collect the additional s50,00O,OOO IN
this way. other taxes must be imposed,
such as the extension of the income
tax TO small incomes. various stamp
taxes, etc"
