TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, 5eautiful-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you cannot find a
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 cloth with
Danderire and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a 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 % cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty. and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it If you will just try lit
tie Danderine. Adv.

of the roughness and severity Of our

American women ave buying them in
the same way, but other women are
buying these separate coats to freshen

for the cool days which will continue
until June.
They are distinct feature in fash
ion, these coats, and are novelties that
are thoroughly appreciated by the
dressmakers over here. They call for
soutaching or that new kind of ma
chine-work which looks like braiding,

Royant was probably the first of
the designers in Paris to introduce
this elaborate chain stitch on coats,

MAKING FOOL OF HIMSELF.

Because one man out of ten makes
4 fool of himself is no reason why the
other nine should be deprived of the
pleasure of drink" Replying to this
proliquor argument, Clarence True
Wilson, prohibition speaker, says:
"Yes; but it does not stop with one
mans making a fool OF himself. The
trouble is that he makes, too often, a
wild beast of himself. The trouble Is
that in that condition he is liable to
make a corpse of somebody else. II
one man out of ten, or one out of fifty,
turned out by saloon is for the time

shut up the saloon and let the other
forty-nine men crafty their appetites

out of every ten made from South
American wool were found to engen-
public do right to pass law, if neces-
Sary, preventing the manufacture or
sale of such coats? If one man out of
every ten that ate ice cream was
found to be afflicted with an incurable
disease that made him a danger to
passers-by, how long before the law
would throttle the ice scream restau,
rants?
IF liquor were an entirely new
thing just introduced into the country,
and the effects were at once ascer-
tanned to be what they are known to
be, a prohibitory law would be passed

BE Err.
The Bremen Anti-Alcohol congress

The Bremen Anti-Alcohol congress
concluded that while whisky and
brandy made man crazy, beer tends
to make him stupid. Doctor Forel of
the University of Zurich says: 'The
drinking of beer has killed the ideals
and ethics and has produced an in
credible vulgarity" The reason for
the sOttishness is that each pint Of
beer contains small quantity Of
pure alcohol, percentage of lupulin,
the active principle of hops, which
acts very much like the poisonous
principle of Indian hemp. At one
time Indian hemp was usedas medi-
cine, but it had to be abandoned on
account Of its varying and poisonous
characteristics. Doctor Delbruck, an
other authority, says mat beer and
wine drinking countries such as
France, Germany, Belgium and Ba-
varia, are more alcohol soaked than
the whisky and brandy countries, and
states that the beer danger is much
greater than the spirit danger.

MODERN WAY.

The newest and largest Of United
States battleships, the Mississippi,
was christeued with water from the
Mississippi river. When people stop
to consider the symbolism of the chris
tening rite, religious or nautical, wa
ter is invariably chosen. In days gone
by, spirituous liquors were generally
supposed to give long life and to bring
good luck, but the revelations of sci
ence have thoroughly exploded that
belief. AS is well pointed out, the
christening of ship with champagne
or anything containing alcohol, the
symbol of destruction and death. is
an ebsurdity and confession Of ig-
nOrance.

New Yurk.-The substitution of
vaguely shaped coats over one piece
gowns for coat suits is more generally
accepted by the American women than
one thought possible.
The reasons why France made the
substitution are too well known to re-
peat; but the feeling was that. after
ALL the American tailOrs were so su-
perior to the Frenth tailOrs in their int
and workmanship, that the American
woman would continue TO give her or
ders for mannish coat suits in prefer
ence to any other kind of street APP
parel. However, as far as one can
judge of general conditions by the ap-
pearance of women on the streets, the
fashion for Il gown with Il long, loose
cape coat has been accepted.
1t is very foolish for any woman 10
abandon the coat and skirt of mannisll
material made in the conventional
manner, for our life calls for such
clothes, regardless of the fashions of
any other part of the planet. The
heat, the moisture and our own inces-
SAINT activities during the day make
I'D triogy of reasons why we should
have Il wash blouse next to the neck,
shoulders and arms during most of
the day.
1t is all very well to have one
piece frock with its accompanying
drapery, but it should be the rival of,
and not the substitute for, the plain
coat and skirt to be worn with Il blouse
that washes or cleans necessarily with
out depreciation.
The fashion for wash frOckS will
probably be taken up by Americans
more than by the women of any other
nation, for we have always leaned to-
ward Bingham, batiste and muslin of
many kinds. Palm Beach set the fash
ion for these thin frocks by going In
for them most enthusiastically and
keeping them in the realm Of simple
Atty, instead of allowing them to be-
come the expensive production of or
nate handwOrk which Paris always
calls by name lingerie frOck.
Striped Gnghams Emphasized.
Palm Beach also emphasized the
use of striped ginghams, the kind
which we wore ten years ago and
which we made up in our own sew
ing rooms by the half dozen to meet
che summers demands. These gowns
are being featured by the smartest
dressTIaEers on Fifth avenue ut upricg
that is out of all proportion to their
value; but the cost of gown in the
last few years has rarely depended
upon the value of the materials used.
We have paid for the services of ex-
pert cutters, filters and needlewOrkers,
plus the cost of rent, electricity and
overhead charges.
If the broadly striped ginghams
which are shown in the speciality shops
become the common property of every
woman, the sewing rooms will be more
busy than they have been for half
decade, and women will be able to
dress more cheaply in a time when,

under excessive prosperity, the most

Whatever clothes can be made at
home, or with the help of skillful
seamstress, will be the ones chosen
by the women who have many social
opportunities, as well as by those who
have none. All the dressmakers unite
in the opinion that simple fabrics, such
as we can get from our own mills, will
be used for country wear and for the
street in the small towns where one
does not have to appear in dark coat
suits in the open.

many of the most famous singers in
the preceding fifty years. among them
being the Incompatible Marcella Sem
brich. and Robert Stagno. Many
musical honors had been conferred
upon him by different cities and or
ders in Europe. He was made Cheva-
lier of the Order of Charles III; an
honorary members of the Royal Acad-
emy of Saint Cecilia, in Rome. etc.
His studies for the different voices
have never been equalled, and are
songs in themselves. Nine. Borderi
had the inestimable privilege of be-
ing his assistant for several years as
can be testified to by the following
pupils taught by her in Dresden. un-
