If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fuffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty OF your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair If you have dandruff.
This destructive scurf robs the hair
of it's lustre, its strength and its very
life, and If not overcome it produces
feverishness and itching Of the
scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen
and die; then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or too
oily, get 25-cent bottle OF Knowl-
toms Danderine at any drug store or

best thing the insurance commissioner

The insurance commissioner can do

them to take their grievance to the
