To be possessed of a head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wnvy and free from dandruff Is merely
a matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply a little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fluffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find a trace of. .dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hafr-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and 1t
never fails to stop falling hair ut once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with a little Daaderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft. glossy and beautiful in just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

Trade Acceptance" much-mooted

OF trade at the present time.
Charles s. Anderson Of Columbus

cate of the trade acceptance plan and
has a great fund of knowledge along
this line of thought frcm which to
draw. He is the advertising man.
ager for the Ohio National bank in
Columbus and an active Chamber of
Commerce member. Mr.. Anderson is
also the president Of the Chamber of
Commerce Advertising club and a
member of the National Advertising
club.
The topic on which he will speak -
Trade Acceptance-is plan where.
by manufacturer, jobber or mer.
chant may use the bills due him, but
unpaid, as collateral Advocates of
the scheme say that under this plan
a man selling goods on credit might
require the purchaser to sign bill of
acceptance and stating his intention
to pay it within certain period of
time and that the vendor might then
deposit this instrument in his bank
the same as money.
ASSETS VS.. LIABILITIES
II is pointed out by those favoring
this plan that under such an arrange
ment as this unpaid bills become Il
merchant S assets rather than. as too
often the case at present. a liability
Some of the largest business con.
Germs in the country are strongly in
favor Of the trade acceptance plan
and it is q question that undoubtedly
interests every merchant in Mt. Yer
non.
While few merchants in this city
have expressed their opinion OF the
scheme of trade acceptance, a few
mold the opinion that the plan oper-
ates favorably for the manufacturer
or the wholesale man, but that its
usefulness ends there. In this belief
they are not alone as this has been
the chief objection raised to the plan
whenever it has been brought before
commercial bodies or individual mer-
chants.
According to Secretary Mayer, Mr..
Anderson will explain the plan fully
from all angles and give his hearers
an opportunity to ask any questions
about it they desire to have answer
ed.
A discussion by local men will
probably follow Mr.. Andcrson's ad-
dress.
