ZONE SYSTEM IN EFFECT TODAY
TrolIeyen Were Notified of Change Wednesday-Long Distance Riders Required Pay Extra Cent-Cy Fare Rates Remain Unchanged.

The copper zone system adopted by the Shore Line Electric company is to go into effect on the New London di vision this CThursday) morning. The trolleymen were notified of the change in the fare system on Wednesday. The lines affected by the new system are those between New London and Wilh- mantle and Norwich and West Thomp- son.
 The new system of collecting fares is the result of careful study, covering a period of some months, on the part of the trolley officials, who believe that the new system is a much fairer one to the trolley patrons in general than the old system. The principal advantage of the copper zone system is it's near approach to the passenger mile as the basis of the fare charged and the retention of the nickel as the unit of fare. It is believed by the trolley officials that the principle in volved in the change of rates on the New London division is correct, all though it is possible that it may be necessary to make slight changes in the location of fare terminals in order to be absolutely just to all the patrons of the road.
 A continual advance in the cost of operating trolley lines each year has resulted in operating expenses entire ly out of proportion to the gross earn ings, and therefore the margin is not

large enough to provide reasonable re- turns on the investments.
 Many of the roads throughout the New England states have increased their earnings by making a change from the five to the six cent zone Sys- tenn Realizing the need of added in come, the Shore Line Electric com pany has made a careful study of the six cent zone and came to the con clusion that the six cent rate only emphasized the faults of the fixed unit of fare and decided to adopt what is known as the short or copper zone system. The short zone system oper- ates very nearly like the mileage sys- tenn which is the recognized basis of fare rates on steam roads, and in some instances on trolley roads in the west
 detailed description of the new trolley rates was announced through The Bulletin recently. Under the new system the passenger will pay for his transportation in one payment and will receive an identification check or receipt. As far as the city service is concerned, there will be no change, as a nickel entities a passenger to ride from Franklin square to Yantic, from Franklin square to Taftville, and the entire length of the West Side, Laurel Hill or Boswell avenue lines, and tC transfer from one of these lines to the other and as far north on the Taftville line as the Catholic cemetery and or the Yantic line as far as Avery Bros.

OTAPARTICLE or DANDRUFF OR
 APPALLING HAIR
SAVE YOUR HAIRI DOUBLE ITS BEAUTY IN JUST A FEW
 MOMENTS.
2s-cENT "DANDERINED MAKES HAIR THICK, GLOSSY, NAVY
 AND BEAUTIFUL.

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine 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 a few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at f1rst-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. It 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 dou- bles the beauty of your hair. No dif- ference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw 1t through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. The effect is amaz- ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable lustre, softness and luxuriance.
 Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toi- let counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any-that 1t has been neglected or injured by care- less treatment-thats all-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of if if you will just try a little Danderine.

GIRLS--D OYOUKNOW
 WHY YOUR HAIR IS UGLY?

Abigail Moore, the noted beauty au- thority, says: "The hair is a register of the physical condition. Cleanliness and massage, as well as careful comb ing and brushing are most important.
 Many women do not realize the necessity of keeping the hair and scalp absolutely clean in order to look their best at all times. And yet, with only a few minutes of tonic massage, the hair may be brought to a beautiful, thick, lustrous luxuriance, and that at very little cost.
 Just try these few simple directions today: Into the palm of the hand pour a little Parisian Sage, a rigidly guar anteed, inexpensive and most bene- ficial preparation to be had at any drug store; thoroughly wet the hair near the scalp with it and then rub vigorously until a soft tingling sensa- tion comes stealing over the head. Do this regularly for a few days and oc- casionally wet your brush with the tonic and gently brush out the hair you will surely be surprised and de- lighted with the results.
 The genuine Parisian Sage is ob- tainable from Lee & Osgood Co, who always sell it with an absolute guar antee of perfect satisfaction to the user or the money paid will be re- turned.
