Night Chief of Police w. D.

The officers are anxious to do their duty, but it is difficult for them tt accomplish d2sults when handicap ped by the disposition of citizens t1 aid the law-breakers in evading the law.
 The police force is so small tha, not a great deal can be expected in the way of detection and conviction of all who violate city ordinances, but we hope the officials will perse- we're until every woman who should be in the restricted district is con- pelled to abide there. The men who visit these scarlet women are no better than those who visit the women in hhe district, and are en- titled to no more or no less protec- tion.

25.cent "Danderine'' maNes hair thick, glossy, wavy and
 beaut;iul.

Within ten minutes after an appll- caticn Of Dcnderi2e you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first -yes-but "eally 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. ts eXhilarating stimulating and life- producing properties cause the hair to grow long, strcng and beautiful.
 A little Danderine immediately double sthe 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 Che snal strand at time. The effect is amazing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appear ance. of abundance; an incomparable lustre, softness and luxuriance.
 Get 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderire 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 tcareless treatment-ths2tt's all you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of il if you will just try a little Danderipe. spt5.
