HAVE BOUGHT SPA, 500
Kansans Are Accommodating War Saw
ings Stamps Rapidly.

Kansas City, Kan, Feb. 2S.-The
war savings organization in Kansas is
making fine Roadway, from reports
coming to state headquarters. The
postofhces alone sold a total of 54,-
6S7 war savings stamps and 35,46S
thrift stamps last week, bringing the
total sold to that date thru the post
offices to 524, 569 war savings stamps
worth SIS each and 262,253 thrift
stamps worth rs cents each Adding
to this total the large sales made by
the banks of Kansas, for which full
reports to date are not now avail
able, it may be assumed that Kansas
is forging ahead in a wonderful way
with this greatest of all war activi-
ties.
P. W. Goebel, state director, who
has visited various sections of the
state speaking for the baby bonds,
sees remarkable growth of activity
among the war savers, whose ranks
are rapidly increasing. Next week
Mr.. Goebel will make a series of ad-
dresses in Kansas. He will start in
at Seneca, where on Sunday he is to
address the people in a mass meet
ing. He will speak at Council Grove
at the war conference to be held
there Monday. On Tuesday he will
attend the war conference at Clay
Center and deliver an address. His
later dates have not been announced.
Many war savings societies are in
process of organization in the state.
In Topeka the children in the school
in Kansas City, Kan, the employees in
department stores, offices and indus
trial plants are forming these socie-
ties.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find a
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 imm ediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull. faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it thru
your hair. taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amazing-your
hair will be light. fluffy and wavy,
and have an appearance of album
dance; an Incompatible lustre. soft
ness and 1uxuriance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any
drug store or toilet counter, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft as
any-that it has been neglected or in
jured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful
hair and lots of it if you will just try
