FALLING HAIR MEANS
 DANDRUFF IS ACTIVE
Save Your Hair! Get a 25 Cent Bottle of Oanderine Right Now-AIso
 Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, coloriess and scrasgy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There Is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruf. It robs the hair of its luster, its strength and its very life; eventually producing a feyerish- ness and itching of the scalp, which If not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and d!e-then the hair falls out fast A little Danderiue tonight-now-any time-will surely save your hair.
 Get a 25 cent bottle Of Knowltor's Danderine from any store, and after the first application your hair will take on that life. hster and luxuriance which is so beautiful. IL will become wavy and fluffy and have the appear ance of abundance; an incompara6le gloss and softness. but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks use, when you will actual ly see lot of fine, cowny hair-rev hair-growing all over the scalp.

Russia Hiding Gold in Siberia.

In the American Magazine a we'll known American banker writes an ar ticle entitled. The Money Side of the War;" in which he presents many in side facts about the financial situation Of the nations at war. In the follow ing extract he tells where Russia is hiding some of her gold:
 Cautiously enough, the Russians have placed one of their gold hints at Irkutsk. in the heart of Siberia. where a hostile army invading from either the west or the east would have to travel about two thousand miles over the Russian steppes to get at that gold"

poses. The braced gambrel roof. such as is shown in the illustration, is the commonest type, but round barns are frequently built with a braced roof Either type leaves the entire upper part of the barn entirely free from all obstructions, so that it can be most readily utilized as a haymow. The unobstructed space also allows the in stallation of the hay track in the peak of the roof. The track is fastened to a collar beam, which is a short beam placed between the upper rafters, and serves the double purpose of support ing the track and bracing the rafteTs. Many manufacturers of the equipment used furnish special hanging irons that are easily attached to the collar beams and which support the track down be- low. If this style of equipment is used 1t will save considerable time and trou- ble to have the collar beams all even and true. The collar beams are set as high as possible so as to bring the traN k we'd up into the peak.

barns as compared with me old sheds ..lsr formerly served as barns. Any. thing would do for a door in the ol6 days. The sliding doors always had at least one roller off the track and hung down with a mournful droop The hinged doors were broken so that their only value was to bang up against the side of the barn in the wind. The excuse was often made that the doors didn't fit very well. but the cracks around them helped in ventilating the barn. Now that we have a regular ventilating system. broken-down doors have no reason for existing.
 The doors shown in this barn are all of the most modern construction. Double sliding doors are used in the gable for placing hay in the now. These doors are placed cn slanting tracks close up under the caves. where they will be protected Being on the outside of the barn they are never in the way and do not take up valuable space in the now.
 All the other doors into the stable are Dutch doors. The upper and the lower half open separately. The ad- vantage of this type Of door is more pronounced in the summer than in the winter. In the summer the upper door can be left open so as to insure a good circulation of air through the barn. and the cattle or horses can be kept inside without tying them up or placing them in the stanchions.
 The ventilation is taken care of in the usual way for a barn that is ar ranged with the dairy cattle facing in. Intake fues for the fresh air are brought in with openings above ard in front Of the cows. In back of each row of cattle is an outtake fue that passes up the wall and along under the roof to the ventilator.
 A litter carrier track IS placed back of each row of cows, and the track for this passes out through the back of the barn to a manure pit. The entire floor of the COW stable is of concrete. but often the horse part is made with a wood block or cork floor in the stalls
