NOT A PARTICLE
OF DANDRUFF OR
A FALLING HAIR
Save your hair! Double its
beauty in just a few
moments.
25-cent "Danderine" makes hair
thick, glossy, wavy and
beautiful.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp viii not itch. but what
will please you must will be after a
few weeks use. when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-
but really new hair-growing 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. Its
exhilarating, slim ulating and life-pro-
ducing properties cause the hair to
grow long, strong and beautiful.

scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair. taking one small
/ strand at a time. The effect is
amazing-your hair will be light, fluff
~ and wavy, and have an appearance
of abun72nce; an incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
hair is as Pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
| by careless eatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots

Five years ago today l became the

ons and the business known as The
Hurry Messenger and Express Co, At
that time located in a little hole in
the WALL building, 15x20 feet, at 2O2
West 6tf. St.
Today in my new two-story building

I am operating nine wagons and two
motor trucks with an annual payroll
of over $4,000.
Commenting on our successful ex-
par sion E. L. Overtcn, who has used
our service for the entire five years,
said: prior to your entrance into this
business we were continually having
trouble getting wagon service when
we wanted it and we were repeatedly
promised equipment at once that we
did not get for an hour. The fact
that in five years we have used no
equipment but yours should prove that
your service has been uniformly eX-
cellent and that you have been truth
full in your promises for equipment on
short notice
am indeed pleased with this COM
ment ana also that large per cent of
the best business houses in the city
feel the same way as proven by their
continued patronage

leaves, cough spasms lessen and soon
disappear altogether, thus ending
cough quicker than you ever thought
possible. Hoarseness and ordinary
coughs are conquered by it in "a hours

AN OLD RECIPE
TODARKENHAIR
Common garden Sage and Sulphur
makes streaked. faded or gray
hair dark and youthful at once.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
Iustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray. Years ago the only way to
get this mixture was to make it at
home, which is mussy and trouble
some.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for 'Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound You will get a large bot
tie of this old time recipe improved
by the addition of other ingredients
for about so cents. Everybody uses
this preparation now. because no one
can possibly tell thai you darkened
your hair. as it does it SO naturally and
evenly You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair. taking one small strand at
time: by morning the gray hair dis
appears, and after another application
or two, your hair becomes beautifully

said Mitchell, "a negro boy came in
with a boot-blacking establishment UNI

Miss Mabel Adams, the ''infOrmation''

Exchange, who connects up char
ity cases with and supplies informa-
ton to thirty-two Topeka charitable
organizations.
AT her hand will be big file con-
tanning the names of and data concern
ing more than 1000 families and indi-
viduals who at some time have re-
ceived assistance from one of the
thirty-two organizations working thru
the exchange. None of the big flow
of charity, which reaches high tide be-
fore Thanksgiving and Christmas, will
any one be left out. If there are any
newcomers in the charity field Miss
Adams wants to hear about them and
will before the season is far ad-
vanced.
Charity has Jagged during the sum-
mer. The coal man is quite reason
able in the dog days and there is work
enough to go round. However, Miss
Adams has been busy herself little
this summer, altho the confidential ex-
change office has been closed; Last
year more than 1000 phone calls were
received by her during November and
she kept a record of nearly 1000
Thanksgiving baskets and donations
made during that month by Topeka
charitable organizations.
Three years before when there was
no exchange, many a Thanksgiving
table in the homes of the poor went
unprovided while in the homes of
others there was a big oversupply by
reason of as many as ten or twelve
charity societies unknowingly con-
tributing to the same family Those
days are past, owing to the establish
ment of the confidential exchange.
The exchange will be run along the
same lines as last year but with one
innovation. There is to be a charity
federation of the city, each of the
societies working thru the exchange
being represented by one delegate.
The federation will hold monthly
meetings and discuss the general char
ity problems of Topeka. Thru the
close cooperation of the different
societies some big reforms may be
expected.
