NEW WORK FOR HUMANITY

Dear Readers of The Washington Times:
At the suggestion of wise man have begun new kind
of work. For years have written advice to the Lovelorn"
for the newspapers have answered questions of men and
women concerning the affairs of their hearts
Now am going to do something exciting than that
With the help of Miss Grace Darling going to take
of the most important episodes that to through the
letters from the millions Of readers of advice to the Love
lon, make stories of them for The Washington Times, and
Miss Darling and Basil Dckey will turn them into scenarios for
motion pictures.
They will be produced stories in The Times every Sum
day. and during the week following the motion pictures will
show the acting of the story.
1t is exciting to think of having your thoughts changed
into actual moving human beings appearing before the public
the screen.
In my work in collaboration with Miss Darling in the
ton pictures shall try to give good advice working always
with great motto Love makes the world 60 round"

IT'S EITHER
DANDRUfF
OR HAIR
You Can't Have Both
For Long

Look at your coat collar. If
it shows evidence of dandruff
you can take it as a sure sign
of coming badness unless you
take steps to prevent it.
When the hair threatens to
leave you can't afford to take
any chances. Go to O'Donnell's
Drug Store, 904 F Street, and
ask for a SOC bottle of Speiser's
Scalp Tonic. Use it according
to directions, and in a reason
able time dandruff, falling hair
and irritations of the scalp and
skin will disappear, and the
growth of hair will be pro-
NOTED. Mr.. O'Donnell is so
certain of the merits of Speis-
er's Scalp Tonic that he'll glad
ly refund your money if it
fails.
Avoid preparations contain
ing alkalis (the presence of al
kali is made known by the
foaming of the liquid) or cocoa
nut oil. Be on the safe side
use Speiser's Scalp Tonic only.
