An address on the rustling

for its inception, the success of
its working and the necessity for
its maintenance, was given before
large meeting Of the Butte
Rotary club at noon at the Butte
Grill today by Attorney L. o.

Mr.. Evans appeared at the meet

The address by Mr. Evans was not
a defense of the system of rustling
cards. 1t was scholarly explanation
of the reasons that compelled the
company to adopt such a system at
tremendous expense So convincing
was the meeting of the good Judgment

in "A brief talk following Mr.. Evans
address that such q system could be
used to advantage by every employer,

appeared to be the general sentiment
that the company was not alone jus

carefully investigating the personnel

With the appearance of German

the safety of their armies concerned
but spprehensions are excited as to
what will happen to the Russian fleet

Only submarines so far have been

SAVE YOUR HAIR! MAKE II
THICK, WAVY AND 5EAUTi- -
FUL-TRY THIS!

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of it's lustre, It's strength and its very
life; eventually producing feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which is
so beautiful. 1t will become wavy
and fluffy, an incompatible gloss and
softness; but what will please you
most will be after just few weeks
use, when you will actually see lot
