LIGHT IN OAKLAND
City Council Votes a Franchise
to the Edison Company.
Expects That Wires Will Be
Strung in 80 Days.

At a meeting of the mayor and coun-
ell of the city of Oakland, which was
held last night in the Oakland school
house. an ordinance was drawn which
provides for the lighting of all of the
streets in the city. The mayor is
authorized to make a contract with
the Topeka Edison company to furnish
the city proper lighting of the streets
and highways for a period of ten
years. And gives them a franchise for
twenty years.
The adoption of some sort of light
ing for Oakland has been before the
council several times, but a satiSfac-
tory ordinance had never been drawn.
At one time the question of munich
pal plant was before the council but
was voted down.
If the contract be accepted by the
Edison company the lights will be in
stalled within the next ninety days,
and the people will be able to have
electricity in their homes, and facilities
which heretofore have been impossible.
Oakland has been Incorporated as a
city for ten years or more, and this is
the first time that any lights have been
within the city limits, except a few
which were installed by the street
railway company.
The present councilmen and officers
who are responsible for the many inn
provements which have been made
and will be made are as follows:
Mayor, F A. Brigham; counciImen,
G. H. Ensign, r. S. Clingan, 1. NJ.
Orner. o. NJ Keats, Robert Keene, and
the city clerk, Mrs. Florence D. Graft

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 will not itch, but what
will please you IL st 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, stimulating and life-pro-
ducing properties cause the hair to
grow long, strong and beautiful.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
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 abundance: 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 II eatment-thats all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little Dan
derine. vertisement.

great share of popularity as any
other musical comedy stars in Amer

night in their new success My Home
Town Girl especially written for
them by Frank NJ. Stammers, with
music by Louis A. Hirsch. The piece,
which is produced by Perry J. Kelly,
possesses a wealth of scenic and cos
tune equipment and an excellence of
individual and chorus impersonation
rarely shown in musical comedy per-
Torrance. This delightful attraction,
combining the best work of Stammers
and Hirsch, has set a mark in this
special field of performance that will
tax the talents of other authors and
composers 20 reach Although newly
