The first thing did was TO ask one
of the guards if It were possible To buy
any cigarettes. lie said It was. so Wells
and checked up our accounts and found

We subscribed ten, and told him TO dc

tho German Red Cross Tho men of
this branch of the German army wear
u distinctive uniform of Il peculiar dark
gray color with tho usual red cross on

 HAIR GETS THICK,
 NAVY, BEAUTIFUL
Save your hair! Double it's beauty in a few moments.
 Try this! Hair stops coming out and every particle of dandruff
 disappears.

Try as you will, after an applica- ton 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-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 it through your hai. taking one small stand at time. The effect is imme- diate and amazing-your hair will be light, nuffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance, an incom- parable lustre, softness and luxuri- ance. the beauty and shimmer of true hair health.
 Get small bottles of Knowltonss Danderine from any drug store or tai let counter for few cents and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any that 1t has been neglected or injured by careless treatment-that'a all.
 DandeRfne is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right te the roeta. invigoates and strengthens them It's exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro- ducing properties cause the hair to xEuw l0ns. strong and beallfifui.-Adv.
