YOU CAN'T FIND ANY |
.DANDRUFF, and HAIR
STOPS COMING OUT.
Save your hair! Make it thick
wavy, glossy and beautiful
at once.

Try as you will, after an applica-
ton of Danderine, you can not find
single. trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be al
ter 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
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference 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 I'M
mediate and amazing-your hair will
be- light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance Of abundance an in
comparable lustre, softness and lux
uriance, the beauty and simmer OF
true hair health.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store OF
toilet counter, and prove that you,
hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment. A small tria
bottle will double the beauty Of youl
hair.

Eastern States Face Sugar Short

age.
The Eastern States face a sugar
shortage, with no prospect Of relief
before late in November when the new
Hawaiian and Western beet crops ar
rive. In statement Tuesday night
forecasting the shortage, the Food
Administration appealed to the Amer
lean people to cut down their consump-
tion Of candy and sweet drinks and at
the same time gave warning that re-
tailers already have received their
stocks at prices recently agreed up
on and the public should pay no more
during the temporary scarcity in the
East than it has been, paying during
the past 80 days. The shortage is
due, the administration says, to the
failure Of the public outside of a few
loyal homes, to reduce consumption
and to unusual exports to France in
order that the French people may have
their meagre ration of one pound of
sugar per person per month.
