You never heard this argument
before. We all know Mothers milk
is best for baby. But what to give
the mother to enable her to supply
baby with a sufficient amount Of
nourishing milk is the problem:
We have found in hundreds of
cases that HEMO is nourishment
that will increase the milk supply
and at the same time enable mother
to get much needed strength. Then
too, it is so appetizing and delicious
that it is welcomed at a time when
most foods are not.
Makes a delicious food drink by
simply adding water.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its 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 25-cent bottle of knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
pMcation your hair will take on that
life. lustre and luxur1ance 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-srow-
ing all over the scarp.
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
collaborating and lffe-producing prop
critics cause the hair to grow long,
strong and beautiful.

HORSE GOING FAST
FROM FIRE SERVICE
Insurance Men Say Motors Will Doml-
nate Future Purchases by Fire
Departments Of Our Cities.

The fate that has befallen horse
drawn apparatus in fire service is
shown by a recent census Of the
possible purchases Of $40 fire depart
ments during 1915. OF the automo-
biles, S0s are listed. while Of the
horse-drawn the total stands at
seven.
st. Louis insurance men say that
when It is considerd that the enum-
Grafton Of possible purchases cannot
possibly be anywhere near complete.
so far as motor apparatus is con-
cerned, while the departments that
are condemned to horsed vehicles are
not likely to increase their purchases.
it is plain that in year or two
future purchases will not mention the
horse at all.
OF the additions to be made this
year, chemical and hose cars are to
