SAVE YOUR HAIR!

Every BIT Of dandruff disappears and

Try this. Your hair appears glossy,

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. It robs the hair
Of it's lustre, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a 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 Danderfne
tonight-now--an tinle-will surely
save your hair.
Get a 25-cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first APP
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which is so
beautiful. It will become wavy and
fluffy and have the appearance of
abundance, an Incompatible gloss and
softness; but what win please you
most will be after just few weeks
use, when you will actually see a lot
of fine downy hair--new hair-grow-
ing all over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. 1t goes right to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them. It's
exhilarating and life-producing prop

The New York and Arkansas, it is

fact, there was said to have been
considerable secrecy over the fact that
the batteries were built near Fort
Morgan.
Some of the local aviators, it is
said, will cooperate in maneuvers
with the big dreadnaughts, flying out
to the battleships after the latter have
completed their firing on the batteries
near Fort Morgan, and after they
have shifted their positions, coming
off Pensacola light, some ten to thirty

Many persons in Galveston remem-

This reference to the steamer was
printed in The Galveston News Of late

Today's news dispatches carry a
marine item which might well bring
tears to the eyes Of many an old time
habitue Of the Galveston waterfront.
1t Is the account of the loss Of the
tugboat Daniel Willard in a collision
with the Dominion liner Madison in
Hampton Roads.
The Willard was well known in Cal
weston and throughout the gulf. She
was here last November with tow

but Il is not her history or recent
presence in this harbor to which sem
timent attaches, but the old days be-

The Willard had run in the gulf for
more than q quarter Of century, but
was best known in Galveston by her
old name Of "Carbonero," under which
she piled IN the towing trade between
Galveston and Vera Cruz and Tampa

New York, March miners of the

the United States steel corporation,
which takes a considerable amount OF
the tonnage of the pittsburgh Coal Co.,
the largest soft coal company in the
country, will pay the advance on the
coal it purchased from that concern,
as it has a contract pledging to pay
whatever increase the Pittsburgh COM
pany has to give to labor. Other COM

tracts.

in pay ranges from three to $50 cents
