TAKES Off DANDRUFF

Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy; Fluffy, Beautifu!-No
More itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appll-
cation of Danderine you cannot find
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after
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 dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
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 rs cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots Of it if you will just try lit

Hearings on Primary Law.

St. Paul, Feb. 28.-Legislative &C
ton on the proposed changes in Min
nesota's primary election laws is in
sight at last.
@ A public hearing on the general sub
ject will be held at the state capitol
next Tuesday evening, March 5. Sen
ators and representatives, members
of election committees Of both houses,
and all others interested will attend.
Admittedly one Of the big construc-
tive tasks before the present Legisla-
ture, the bills for the reformation of
the primary system, has had to wait
the passage of temperance legislation
and the consideration of other meas
ures of lesser Importance.
But, with the growing interest on
the part of their constituents, legisla-
tors are now prepared to get down to
work on the primary law.
The bill introduced by Representa-
tive j. M. Harrison, the only one be-
fore the House of Representatives,
has been brought up before the House
committee on elections.

Half Million For Guards.

St. Paul, March 1.-The Minnesota
House of Representatives has passed
the Steen-Moeller bill appropriating a
half million dollars for national
guardsmen returned from the Mexican
border. There were only eight dis
senting votes. Under the terms of the
bill, Minnesota guardsmen would re-
ceive so cents day from the state
for each day they spent in the federal
service.
This sum, proponents of the bill de-
clared, would permit the men to live
properly until they had obtained new
positions. It was predicted that the
measure would pass the Senate.
Debate on the bill at times waxed
warm, several members intimating
that opposition to the measure could
indicate only an absence of patriotism.
Representative Moeller of st. Paul,
a veteran of the Spanish-American
war, urged the passage of the bill.
:'The guardsmen were ready to make
any sacrifice required in defense Of
their country's honor and integrity"
he said. THAT they did not see &C.
tive service is not their fault, but
we do know that they underwent hard
ships and privations. Many of them
have lost their positions. Most Of
them are without funds.
Representative Henry Steen pointed
out that the United States was facing
another crisis, and that unless recog-
milton were granted the border guards
men it might be difficult to furnish
the states quota should war be de-
clared. He expressed hope that no
member would vote against the meas
ure.
Revision of the states road laws is
the object of a bill to be introduced
in the House of Representatives by
Edward Indrehus Of Foley, chairman
of the good roads committee. The
bill Incorporates all of the changes
proposed in various bills already in
troduced and has been approved by
the roads committees of both houses.
The Senate will act on the super
tax or tonnage tax bill passed by the
House Thursday, March 8.
The fight against the bill in the
Senate will be led by Senator O. H.
Griggs of Virginia. Senator Griggs
says that there are now enough votes
to kill the measure.

What Is Uric oActd?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
,essive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that fermant in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the uric acid accu-

by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma,

4 DIFFERENCE IN .
THE INVESTMENT
The Western Canada Farm Prof.
it's Are Away in Excess.

Mr.. George FL. Barr, of Iowa, holds
seven sections Of land in Saskatche-
wan. These he has fenced and rent
ed, either for pasture or cultivation,
all paying good interest on the invest
ment.
Mr.. Barr says that farm land at
home in Iowa is held at $3.50 per acre.
These lands are in high state of cul-
tivation, with splendid improvements
in houses, barns, stables and silos, and
yet, the revenue returns from them are
only from two to three per cent per
annum on Investment.
Last year, 1915, his half share of
crop on a quarter section in Saskatche-
wan, wheat on new breaking, gave him
35 per cent on the capital invested
$500 an acre. The crop yield was
35 bushels per acre. This year the
same quarter-section, sown to Red
Fife on stubble gave 1886 bushels. His
share, 1,643 bushels of 1 Northern at
$1.5G per bushel, gave him $2,563.O8.
Seed, half the Irvine and half the
threshing bill cost him $453.00. Allow

nual inspection trip, charged to this
quarter-section even to $1,000, and he
has left 100000, that is SO per cent
Of the original cost Of the land. Any,
one can figure up that another aver
age crop will pay, not or per cent
on investment, as in Iowa, but the
total price of the land. Mr.. Barr says:
"Thats no joke now"
Mr.. Barr was instrumental in bring
ing a number of farmers from Iowa to
Saskatchewan in 1913. He referred to
one of them, Geo. n. Kerton, tenant
farmer in Iowa. He bought a quarter
section Of improved land at $1,000 an
acre near Hanley. From proceeds of
crop in 1914, 1915, 1916, he has paid
for the land. Mr.. Barr asked him
week ago: "Well, George, what shall
I tell friends down home for your"
The reply was: "Tell them 1 shall
never 20 back to be tenant for any
man." Another man, Charles Haight,
realized $4,000 in cash for his wheat
crops in 1915 and 1916.
Mr.. Barr when at home devotes
most of his time to raising and deal
ing in live stock. On his first visit OF
inspection to Saskatchewan, he real
ICED the opportunity there was here
for grazing cattle. So his quarter
sections, not occupied, were fenced
and rented as pasture lands to farm
ers adjoining. His creed is: 'Let ma
ture supply the feed all summer while
cattle are growing, and then in the
fall, take them to farmsteads to be
finished for market. There is money
