Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens Of thousands of farmers as well az
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite Of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions Of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real mOney-saying
power Of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.

Of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an Incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it iinme-
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength and
its very life, and if not overcome 1t
produces feverishness and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famish,
loosen and die; then the hair falls out
fast. Surely get a 25-cent bottle Of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
store and just try it.

Constable Walter LaFon was
here from Palmersville on last
Saturday and says the people Of
Palmersville are fully determined
to have a brand-new, commodious
school building, which will be
erected this year. There has al
ways been some dissatisfaction at
Palmersville with the present
school building, built several wears
ago. 1t is too small to accommo-
date the needs of the community,
and already a considerable sum has
been pledged for the new building,
which will be two-story, built on
modern lines and large enough, too,
for a county high school OF a con-
solidated school.
