HAIR STOPS COMING OUT AND
EVERY PARTICLE OF DAND-
RUFF DISAPPEARS.

Try as you will, after an application
of Danderine, you can not find single

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 hrst-yes-but real
ly new hafr-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy. just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw 1t
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is i'm.
mediate and Advantageous hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an
appearance OF abundance; an fncom'
parable lustre, softness and luxur-
lance, the beauty and Skinner Of true
hair health.
Get a 25-cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or toll
ct counter, and prove that your hair is
as pretty and soft as any-that it has
been neglected or injured by careless
treatment-thats all.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. 1t goes right to the roots,
fnyigorates and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating, stimulating and life
producing properties cause the hair to
grow long, strong and beautiful.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS

A Missouri editor has 1t figured
out that the women do not need
any more rights since a man can
not sell his house and lot without
his wife's consent; he must pay her
bills, whatever they are; II he de-
serts her she can jug him; II she de.
serts him he has to take his medi-
cine; II he jilts her, she can bring
suit for breach Of promise, while II
she jilts him, he gets the horse laugh;
II he dies she gets the property; II
she dies he gets the funeral expen-
ses' If he whips her he gets 60 days
on the rock pile, but II she hits him
over the head with a skillet the
world concludes h Q deserves It,
And still she wants more rights.

Older BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in Scott's.
