More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appll-
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 fitst-yes-but
really new growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou.
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff

Danderine and carefully draw ii
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a 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 1t has been neglected OF
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-yOu surely can have beautiful hail
and lots of it if you will just try Lit
tie Danderine. ADV.

/. I!sTOOK HUNTER FOR STUMP
Nitnrod's Peculiar Experience With a
Lynx Who Had Been After a
Squirrel Dinner.

was once teaching school, writes
Companion reader, in a backwoods
region, where game was very plenti-
full. One afternoon in the hunting sea-
son made my way to a small valley
about mile from the settlement,
down which ran a well-beaten deer
trail.
took my post on a small hill that
commanded good view of the valley.
In front of me, and about IL feet dis
tant, was large pine tree; behind me
was an old stump. AS the evening
was cool, wore gray sweater, and
my hat was also gray.
After waiting for nearly an hour,
noticed a movement in a small clump
of bushes to my right. Then the horns
and head of large buck appeared,
but he drew back before l had a
chance to fire. With rifle cooked and
finger on the trigger, I crouched, wait
Ing for him to show himself again,
A squirrel chartered sharply from
the stump behind. Then he landed
squarely on the top of my head, from
which he sprang to the tree. Imme-

forward on my face by some heavy
object that descended with great force
ON my back. The blow almost drove
the breath from my body. My rife

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold; there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation OF uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism OF
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
nrofuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
OF the doubls burden. Another reason

union with Feldon would not be best

not even initiate other men in their
vices, as most otherwise original men
do. He had a fine scorn for philander-
ing and excesses. He did not love to
eat and drink or indulge in any other
common appetite. His appetites were
spiritual. I felt sure the girl for him
would have to be modern Pallas.
