THICK, GLOSSY HAIR

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an Incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately disSOlves every particle OF
dandruf. You can not have nice
heavy, healthy hair If you have
dandrun. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of IS lustre, its strength and
its very life, and If not overcome II
produces a fevcrishncSS and itching of
the scalp; the hair roots famiSh
loosen and die; then the hair falls ont

SHOOT PHONE GIRL"
Bullying the Operator Is Nothing Less
Than Cowardice--She Is Doing
Her Best.

To speak to telephone operator Is
like speaking in the dark to stranger.
In such situation courtesy would
seem to be the first rule of the road.
Unfortunately, courtesy is not invari-
ably the tone which people employ
with telephone operators.
During one of the national conven-
tons, something went wrong with the
wires; messages were delayed and
mixed Offices and correspondents were
losing their tempers. In the midst of
it, James Morgan, with that impertur-
able good humor of his, sent back to
the Boston Globe telegram bearing
merely the words that were born IN
the dance hall of western mining
town:
Don't shoot the pianist. He is do
ing the best he can"
Don't bully the telephone operator.
She is doing the best she can. If she
were not she would not be where she
is. Being a telephone operator in
these busy days is no sinecure.
The silliest place to lose ones tenn
per is into transmitter. 1t is the
most cowardly place, also. To abuse
telephone operator (who is n long
way off, Il woman and an employce)
is about rs heroic sport as shooting
robins. The operator cannot get her
tormentor discharged. She cannot
even answer back. Discipline forbidS

WOULD CHANGE AUTO TAX
Legislators Favor Doing Away With
Persona! Tax and Grading License
Fee BY Horsepower.

INSTRUMENTATION at the coming
session are inclined to look with favor
on that part of the tax commission re-
port which would change the automo-
bile license fee. The commission ad-
vised doing away with the personality
tax, and grading the license fee en-
motor cars by horsepower.
Other states on the average have
higher auto license taxes than Wiscon-
sin The systems used are charges
based directly on the power; charges
by classes according to power; COM
bination of weight and power CLASH
fication; a capacity classification.
IN all of the states but seven a per-
sonal property tax is charged in ad-
dition to the license fee. In states
where motor truck travel is becoming
heavy, the question of tonnage tax
is under discussion.

100000 for sprinkler systems in state
buildings and $4,000 for land. This

lished at each penal institution.
Recommendation of the board are:
State aid to dependent children
should be increased to $4,000 annual
ly, as children brought up by worthy
mother make, better citizens than
those sent to Institutions.
The state should acquire 5000 to
5000 acres of land, which could be
cleared and titled by convict labor and
used to produce food for the prison
and other state institutions. The state
already owns large outlying tracts OF
land which could be made over to the
prison and used for this purpose
The law should be amended so that
counties may be charged with the
same amounts now paid for patients IN
the state sanatarium and county sana'
toria.
The opacity of the hospital for the
criminal insane at Waupun should be
increased At present only male pa
tients are permitted by law, but there
are in other hospitals violent, homlcl'
dial and suicidal female patients who
are disturbance and should be in the
home for criminal insane.
New boilers are recommended for
