HOW TO GET RID OF
CHRONIC DANDRUFF

The only sure way TO get permanent
ly rid of either oily or dry dandruff is
to remove the conditions that cause it
and then keep the hair and scalp in a
permanent, clean, healthy, vigorous
state SO dandruff viii never return.
This beats shampoos or head washes
which merely drive away dandruff for
a few days nj most. Wilfred f. Root
and others Of the better druggists
in this vicinity are now strongly re-
commencing harmless, inexpensive
and quick acting preparation called
Partisan Sage that they say is guaran-
tced to act directly on the cause of
dandruff and which already has be
come known far and wide as safe
and efficient treatment which cannot
possibly iuiure hair or scalp.
Here is a test worth trying. Get
package of Partisan Sage. Rub a lit
tie Of it into the scalp with the finger
tips and see for yourself how the dan
druff disappears, the hair stops falling
out, the itching vanishes, and a new
and vigorously healthy appearance
comes over the hair. Good looking hair
IS half the battle in any man S or wo-
man g personal appearance and nothing
hurts the hair more than dandruff.
Try little Partisan Sage and begin at
once to be rid of it.

WAS STAR TWIRLER
UNTIL LAST YEAR
Ray Collins One of Few to Jump from
Small College to Big League Ranks
Feat Against Tigers.

Ray Collins, whose retirement from
baseball was announced yesterday in
statement by him in Rutland, was
one Of the very few college players
who have been good enough to jump
directly from small college team in
to the ranks of big league baseball
and make good at once. Collins enter
ed the University of Vermont in 1905
and for four years was the star pitch
er of that team, winning 81 of so
games he twirled in that time.
He went directly to the Boston
American team after his graduation
IN 1909. His work improved each sea-
son, until last year, and he was rank
ed for five years as one of the best
left handed pitchers in the business.
He always had the Detroit team at his
mercy and near the close of the 1914
season he startled the baseball world
by pitching and winning two games
from the Tigers in one afternoon.
Since that notable feat he has never
shown his old-time form.
