SCOTCH CITY HAS SIDE Line
Glasgow Reports Gratifying Success
Of lts Municipal Agriculture
Lesson for America.

The individual efforts of many a
city man to convert himself Into fari
mer may perhaps remain a subject OF
occasional jest, but Glasgow, In Scott
land, has shown the world that city.
as a city, may take up a farming enter
prise and come Off with the smile quite
aeatly turned t'other way about. BY
the reports just returned to Glasgow'a
lord provost, the municipality has ac1
crued round $4,000 Of profit from the
products of Its farming.
1t all began In 1870. At that time it
was found that the city refuse destruc-
Tor was becoming less and less ade1
luate to deal with the ever-increasing|
7olume of the city's refuse-the ashes
from its furnaces and pots from irS|
households, the paper from the streets
and all this manner Of collectible mai
erial.
So tract of bogland was taken ON
lease and turned over to the uses
If the cleansing department. The ex-I
pertinent of filling in these lands
proved SO successful that more terri
tory was taken in 1891 and later at ~
:ombined cost Of about 100000. The
Ioil was "cold and uncongenial," says
he Glasgow HeHld, but It's handicaps,
nave been gradually neutralized by the
work Of the department and by the en-
dchment of the land.
According to the report Of Glasgow'sI
armings "the produce grown includes
BATS, wheat. barley, potatoes, turnips.I
hay and grass, and the total amounts
ieaped during last season Is valued at
10000, thus sum being exclusive Of
produce sold, which realized f2,72S.I
The present hay crop Is so abundant
hat after the needs of the depart
nents stud of horses are met, 1t Isl
80 abundant that there Will be a sur
plus for sale of about 500 TONS"
Surely such record as this should
counsel American cities to see what
hey can do after Glasgow's example.

TREES MUST BE PROTECTED
Once Attacked by Disease There Ia
Little Hope That They Can
Be Preserved.

Trees die from many causes, but few
indeed die from the top downward,
probably. far less than 1 per cent. A
tree may starve or die of thirst, but
the great majority die from disease
few succumb primarily to ravages d
insects or other pests, though these
materially aid in Fastening death
F,ungous disease is the most poten
factor in the destruction of large trees
The much-dreaded and fatal disease a.
the chestnut now ravaging some east
ern states Is one Of them. We occa
sionally find huge oak which sudden
" dies when apparently in full vigo
and health. After attack no remedial
measures are known.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful-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 tirst-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 1t
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 a 25 cent bottle Of Knowlton's s
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that 1t has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots Of 1t If you will just try lit
tie Danderine. Adv.
