COUNCIL WILL Reject
SCENT FARE ORDINANCES
Come Out Tonight With Unfavorable
Recommendation From Commit-
tee on Finance.

When the adverse recommendation
OF the Committee on Finance is receiv-
ed tonight by the Common Council
there IS little doubt but that the Grun-
dy ordinances. designed 10 abolish six
fora quarter street car tickets and
Increase taNes on the revenues of the
NiCE;aia Railway and Power Company
Will be finally and unanimously re-
iected. AZ its meeting last month the
Finance Committee agreed to report
G0favorably the measures. Thomas S.
Wheelwr!sht. president Of the power
company. told the committee that he
did not feel warranted in recommend
ing 70 his board CT directors that the
proposition outlined in the Grundy or
d!nances be accepted.
However, il is foregone conclusion
that the questions OF increased street
car fare, elimination of duplicate track
age and n plan Of re-routing are mat
ters which will shortly engage the at
tention OF the council. move toward
this end was started two years ago,
when the power company sought a
blanket franchise TO replace the various
and antiQuaied grants under which II
now operates. This was never acted
upon, but informed persons declare
that the time is now at hand when
there must be some readjustment Of
conditions and regulations governing
street car transportation in this CITY.

It was their first day as genuine

liam Byrd Park that regulars would
have envied And the crowd that
turned out to witness the ceremony
warmed the hearts of the boys who
will within few days leave for the
camp in which they will be trained

The entire interior of the old race
track was alive with men. women and
children long before the arrival Of the
battalion. while hundreds OF vehicles
occupied the points Of vantage on the
outside CO the big circle. So dense was
the crowd. that thirty minutes were
required to press it back to make
space for the ceremony to he held. Not
less than 10000 persons. II is estimated,
were present and enjoyed the spectacle.
Never has the battalion presented
such a fine appearance. not even on its
return from nine months Of duty along
the northern bank of the Rio Grande.
Although there must have been many
recruits scattered through the four
companies, even skilled military mcn

YOU CAN'T FIND ANY

SAVE YOUR HAIR! MAKE IL
THICK, WAVY, GLOSSY AND
BEAUTIFUL AT ONCE

Try as you will, after an applica-
tion of Danderine, you can not find a
single trace Of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp VIII not itch. but
what will please you most, will be
after a few weeks use, when you will
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 or your hair. No
difference how dull, raded. brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is i'm
mediate and amazins-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 25-cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or tot
let counter. and prove that your hair
is as pretty and soft as any-that it
has been neglected or injured by
careless treatment. a rs cent bottle
will double the beauty of your hair
