Drama and Dance.

The Saxtons River Dramatic club
presented the drama, A Ruined Life,
or The Toll of Drink, in the town hall

given in a creditable manner. The
following is the east of characters:
Sidney ST. Claire, an artist, Jack Aus
tin; Philip Delorme, his cousin, Ray
Whitney; Radcliff Raleigh, villain, vii
liam A. Craig; Sam Darling of the 20
lice force, Jed Vaucor; Little Sidney,
son of ST. Claire, Bernard Austin
Leonie, wife of St. Claire, Helen Snow
Molly, aunt to Philip and Sidney
Helen Austin; Clytie, Radcliff Raleigh s
wife, Lorain Parker; Mandy, awkward
but faithful, Marjory Parker.
Jed Vaucor in his sketch, "Hey
Rube,' was unusually good. His make
up was complete and his voice and
manner excellent. Mr.. Vaucor has rel
atives in town and comes from a fam.
lily with marked dramatic ability.
After the PLAY dancing was enjoyed
the club bringing their musicians with
them, supplemented by Hollis Codd
violinist.

YOU CAN'T FIND ANY
DANDRUFF, AND HAIR
STOPS COMING OUT
Save your hair. Make it thick. wayv
glossy and beautiful at
once

Try as you will, after an application
of Danderine, you can not 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-g 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
Danderine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at
a time. The effect is immediate and
amazing hair will be light, fluffy
and wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance, the beauty and
simmer of true hair health
Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton 5
Danderihe from any drug store or toilet
counter, and prove that your hair is as
pretty and soft as any-that it has
been neglected or injured by careless
treatment. A 25-cent bottle will double
the beauty of your hair.-Advt.

Best for liver and bowels, for bilious
ness, sour stomach and
constipation.
Get a 10-cent box now.


Furred Tongue, Bad Colds, Indiges-
ton, Sallow Skin and Miserable Head
aches come from a torpid liver and
clogged bowels, which cause your stom-

food, which sours and ferments like
garbage in a swill barrel. That s the
first step to untold misery indigestion,
foul gases, bad breath, yellow skin,
mental fears, everything that is hor-
rible and nauseating. A Cascaret to-
night will give your constipated bowels
thorough cleansing and straighten
you out by morning. They work while
you sleep-a 10-cent box from your
druggist will keep you feeling good for
months. Millions of men and women
take a Cascaret now and then to keep
their stomach, liver and bowels regu-
lated, and never know miserable mo-
ment. Don't forget the children-their
little insides need a good, gentle cleans
ing, too.-Advt.
