GElRNE BURNS
SLIDING CHAMP

There may be something in q base
bali way that George Burns cannot do
well-though that something has not
vet become apparent TO those who
have closely followed the play Of the
Giants gallant left fielder since his
advent into the major leaeues-but
perhaps his chief accomplishment is
sliding. There is no player i'm either
league who can sweep around a base
man and into bag more proficiently
than Burns. He has perfected the fall
away slide as he has the patrolling
Of the bothersome sun field at the
Folio grounds. and it is a most difficult
matter to put the ball on him in a
close play. His slide is the model for
Giant rockies at the training camp. as
IL is for the other members OF the
team. Ask the National league 70

Within ten minutes AFTER an appli-

all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just mosten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance: an Incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance.
Get 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 neglect
ed or injured by careless treatment
that's all-you surely can have
beautiful hair and lots of 1t If you
