TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Glrlsl Try ThIsl Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, BeautlfuI-No
More itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation of Danderine you cannot find
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 first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance Of
abundance; an incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that 1t has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
aA-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots Of it If you will just try a lit
tie Danderine. Adv.

TELL OF PAST GLORY
RUINS OF ROMAN PALACES ME-
MENToEs OF GREATNESS.
Posilipo, in the "Fairest Land of Eu-
rope" Has History Which Makes
It of enhancing Interest to
the Tourist.

The city of Naples gives no idea
Of the beauty of southern Italy. It sits
like a ragged vagrant by the roadside
in the faSrest land of Europe.
If you would see all of this beauty
at a glance, visit the steep headline of
Posilipo, which jutS into the sea be-
yond the city. Here are combined the
beauties of the modern Campania-
the smooth roads winding upward past
white villas, the blue sky, under which
the earth seems to glow, while the sea
is tipped with silver-and the most
striking relics of the long-gone days
of the Roman empire and the middle
ages, those periods so full of story and
color, which have moved across Italy,
environed in her beautiful landscape
and inspired by the romantic tempera-
ment of her people, like the acts of
some mighty pageant
At Posilipo stood the villa of Vir-
gil, greatest of the Latin poets, and
here today is vault where his re-
mains are said to lie. 1t was at Po-
silipo that Virgil wrote the Georges,
those beautiful Latin pastorals that
picture all the seasons of the year as
the poet studied them from his coun-
try seat. Here after he had died came
many another poet and sage to put
flowers on his tomb.
This famous sepulcher is a low
cfnno uault with fbroa ryindOuo
formerly stood within it tall urn,
which was said to contain the ashes of
the poet, but this has disappeared and
is said to have been removed by King
Robert the Wise to his palace for safe
keeping.
At the very end of the headlald
stands one of the most impressive
relics Of Roman luxury in all Italy. 1t
is the ruin of Pausilypum, the villa
built by Vedius Polio and bequeathed
by him to Augustus Caesar. THE End
of Sorrow" is the meaning of its name,
which has become that of the entire
headland.
Here are remains Of massive white
marble walls and pillars and founda-
tions, reaching far out into the water,
and from these and from the numerous
legends and stories that cling about
them, one may reconstruct the beauty
and splendor and license of the life OF
decadent Rome. He may picture the
great villa, sitting on the point of the
headland, backed by dark groves, with
it's white feet in the breaking sea. He
may reconstruct in fancy the Odeon
and the theater, where the lord and
his guests were entertained; the fish
pond into which Vedius caused serv-
ant to be thrown and devoured for
breaking a. glass; the wide-fung gal
leries and porticoes, the elaborate
marble baths. And this palace Of a by
gone age he may people with the
mobiles and philosophers, the poets and
soldiers of Rome, in their flowing
robes Of white and purple, attended
by the slaves Of all their wars-beau-
tiiul women of Greece, black men from
Africa, fair-haired savages from the
British Isles and the wild interior Of
Europe-the people Of all the races
conquered by these most powerful and
dominating men that the world has
yet brought forth and who are now re-
membered by crumbling stones upon
a deserted beach.-Chicago Daily

His Eeroclous Pacifism.

Pate, the statement of the antipre-

Carlyle was pacifist. Indeed, he
was! At one time worshiping Amer
lean ventured to call on him. The
genius had filled up on II cups of tea
and was sitting bumped over before
the fireplace, wrapped in shawl and
an S-inch crouch, and paid no atten-
ton to the visitor. Finally the caller
uttered timid 'Ah-h'm!'
Silence, you blockhead!' thun-
dered Carlyle.
"Bub-but,' stammered the intruder,
Il am not saying anything
"'No. but you are interrupting my
silence. Get out!'
That is. the sort of pacifist Thomas
Carlyle as,"-Kansas City Star.

LONG A PLAGUE TO YOUTH
6choolboys of Many Centuries Ago
Had to Wrestie With Problems
of Arithmetic.

The modern schoolboy may find
comfort in the fact that for $500 years
schoolboys have been worried by just
such desperate problems in arithmetic
as annoy him most
Among the archaeological discoveries
in Egypt is a papyrus roll, in excellent
condition, dating from a period about
100 B. c. This roll, which has long
heading beginning Directions how to
attain the knowledge of all dark
things" proves beyond doubt that
the Egyptian of that time had thor
ough knowledge of the elements of
arithmetic.
Numerous examples show that their
principal operations with units and
fractions were made by means Of addi.
ton and multiplication. Subtraction
and division were not known in their
present form. but correct results were
obtained, nevertheless.
Equations are also found in the
papyrus. Here is one which brings the
Egyptian schoolboy home to u.s.
Ten measures of barley are to be di.
vided among ten persons in such man.
ner that each subsequent person shall
receive one-eighth of a measure less
than the one before him. Another ex-
ample given is: There are seven men,
each one has seven cats, each cat has
eaten seven mice, each mouse has
eaten seven grains of barley. Each
grain of barley would have yielded
seven measures of barley. How much
barley has been lost?
The papyrus also contains calcula-
lions of area. the calculation of the
area of circle attempts at squaring
the circle. and finally calculation Of
the cubic measurements of pyramids.

Men and women who can't get feel

baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink glass of real hot wa.
ter with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out Of the
thirty feet Of bowels the previous days

and to keep the entire alimentary

Those who are subject to sick head
ache. colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
any druggist or storekeeper, and be-
gin practicing internal sanitation.
This will cost very little, but is sufii-
Client to make anyone an enthusiast
on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.

Health and Spirits.

The teeth of the horse are often re.
sponsible for his poor condition. espe
cially is this true of the old animal
His teeth often wear off irregularly
leaving sharp points and ragged edges,
which make mastication impossible or

Without proper mastication the an.

RINGING in the Ears.

Swelling and congestion of the mu-
cous membrane of the eustachian
tube-generally the result of neglected
catarrhal "colds"-often produces ring
ing in the ears. If not soon relieved
it will bring on a disease Of the in
ner ear and deafness. DR.. w. C..
Braislin of Brooklyn told the Ameri-
can Geological society recently that he
treats this by swabbing out the eu-
stachiap tube with solution of 20
grains of nitrate of silver in an ounce
of water, applying it on a pledget of
cotton wound at the end of two strands
of thin wire twisted as one.

cutting back as severely as the peach
