A Symbol Of Health.

The Pythagorians of Ancient Greece
ate simple food, practiced temperance
and purity. As badge they used the
five pointed star which they regarded as
a symbol of health. A red five pointed
star appears on each package of Cham
berlain's Tablets, and still fulfills its an
cient nilsson as a symbol of health. If
you are troubled with indigestion, bilious
ness or constipation, get package OF
these tablets from your druggist. You
will be surprised at the quick relief which
they afford. Obtainabls everywhere.

Within ten minutes after an appli-

single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after q
few weeks use, when you see pew
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
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at 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 25 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 observation-disclosures

and lots Of it if you will just try lit

claimed to be one hundred and twenty
years old. He still takes care Of him

He married his third wife when he,

occasion he made trip to the hospital

He can still remember experiences

this glorious news from Russia and

that Sweden was pro-German and
Norway pro-ally." That has been true
of Sweden because of political neces-
sity. In spirit the two have been one
united in sympathy with the great
war of democracy against eautocracy.
Sweden feared autocratic Russia and
hence looked upon Germany, the ene-

croachment. With Russia free, ruled
by her own people, Sweden will have
nothing to fear from her. She may
