BEAUTIFUL HAIR, THICK, NAVY, FREE.
 FROM DANDRuFF
DRAW A MOIST CLOTH THROUGH HAIR AND DOUBLE IT'S BEAU
 " AT ONCE.
SAVE YOUR HAtRI DANpRuFF DISAPPEARS AND HAIR
 STOPS COMING OUT.

Immediate?-Yesi Certain ?-that,s the joy of it. Your hair becomes nght wavy, huffy, abundant and appears as soft, Iustrous and beautiful asa young girls after an application of Dander- inc. Also try this-moisten a cloth with a little Danderine and carefully draw 1t through your hair, taking one small strand at time. This win cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or ex- cessive oil, and in just a few moments you have doubled the beauty of your hair. A delightful surprise awaits those whose hair has been neglected or is scraggy. faded, dry, brittle or thin. Besides beautifying the hair, Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff: cleanses, purifies and in- vigorates the scalp, forever stopping itching and falling hair, 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.
 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 producing properties cause the hair to grow long. strong and beautiful.
 You can surely have pretty, charm ing. lustrous hair, and lots of it, if you will just get 25-cent bottle of Kwnolton's Danderlne from any drug store or toilet counter and try it as directed.

Next to the local alumni of Wesleyan university, Middletown, the man in Norwich who takes the greatest inter est in the recent student vote to abolish the annual cannon scrap, at midnight on Washington's Birthday, Is Dr. J. H. Allen, of 76 Church street. Dr. Allen has in his possession valu- able cane of cocoanut wood, silver mounted, which was presented him by the Class of 1908 for his aid in secret ing the historic cannon, early in 1904.
 Suggested By A. E. Garde.
 During that year Mrs. Aliens cousin, Andrew E. Gar6e, of Cornwall, who is a brother of Mrs. Waiter E. Garfield and Miss Emily Garde, of Geer place, was member of the freshman class at Wesleyan. This class always gets busy months in advance of Washing tons Birthday to find a. secure hiding place for the historic Douglass can non, so that it may not fall into the possession of the sophomores. whose design it Is to prevent the freshmen getting the gun 0 nto the campus, at midnight, and keeping it there for flf- teen minutes, in defiance of the higher class.
 Early in 1904, at the suggestion of MT. Garde. the big gun was dismem- bered, the tube sent to Mrs Aliens brother, Christopher c. Newbury, of Waterford and the bulky carriage, wheels and all, forwarded from Mid dletown to Dr. Aliens home. then on Laurel Hill avenue. The strange, cof- f1n-like box caused much comment as it was unloaded and delivered: but mo- body got an inkling as to it's con- tents.
 Hid With Great Secrecy.
 A portion of it was secreted during the dead of night, in the attic of the house. the remainder being hidden in the barn. With equal secrecy. MT. NewDury took care of his portion of the cannon.
 As this famous gun was once carried as far away as Denver by the fresh men, who were determined that the sophomores should not get hold of 1t, search was made in every possible quarter for the missing field piece, but to no avail. It reposed snugly in it's Norwich hiding place until wanted by MT. Garde. and was triumphant1y rushed by him and his classmates on

Cocoanut Oil Makes
 A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsihed cocoanut oil (which Is pure and en- tirely greaseless) is much better than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One Or two tablespoon fuls will make an abundance of rich. creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The father rinses out easily and removes every particle of dust, dirt. dandruh and ex- cessixe oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky, bright, fiuffy and easy to manage.
 You can get muisified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months.

Lathrop & Shea of New. Haven have the big contract for four tracking the Shore Line division of the New Haven road from Thames river to Midway, plans for which were announced pre- viously.

 J, H. A. from 'os, Wesleyan. Annual Custom For Twenty Two
 Years.
 It was following out the recommend ation of the college senate that the student body at Wesleyan recently voted to abolish the cannon scrap which has been an institution at the college for the past twenty-two years: Though there were many who opposed the idea the vote swung in support of abolition and the scrap which was the. expectation of every red -blooded student in the two lower classes will not be held this year. Some other contest will be substituted in place of the cannon scrap in another year, but for any other battle between the un- dergraduates.
 Beginning in 1884 it has been the custom at tn university to hold the contest between the two lower classes.
 No Serious Accidents.
 In all the years that the contest has been going on there has not been a single accident of fatal nature, though there have been frequent minor in- juries.
 The recent death of a student in the Penn State university during one of these class battles hastened the de- cision of the senate which would oth- erwise have been for abolition next year, but under the circumstances it was thought advisable to do away with the danger before some serious result occurred.
 Tho two classes will be reimbursed for any expenditures which may have been made in expectation of the scrap and it is likely that an attempt will be made to buy the Douglass cannon from the owners for college trophy or decoration, which ever may be de- termined upon.
