GIRLS DRAW 4 MOIST
CLOTH THROUGH HAIR,
DOUBLE IT'S BEAUTY
TRY This! Hair Gets Thick, Glossy,
Wavy and Beautiful at Once.

lmmcdiate?-Yes. Certain .
that's the JOY Of it. Your hair be-
comes light. wayy, fluffy. abundant
and appears as soft, lustrous and
beautiful as young girls after a
Danderine hair cleanse. Just try
this--moisten cloth with little
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at aNtime. This will cleanse
the hair Of dust, dirt or excessive
oil. and in just few moments you
have doubled the beauty of your
hair. A delightful surprise awaits
those whose hair has been neglected
or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or
thin. Besides beautifying the hair,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses, purfies and in
vigorates the scalp, forever stopping
itching and falling hair, but what
VIII please you most will be after a
few weeks use, when you see new
hair-fine and downy at frst-yes-
but really new hair growing all over
the scalp. If you care for pretty,
soft hair, and lots Of it, surely get a
small bottle Of Knowlton's Dander-
Inc from any drug store or toilet
counter for foW cents.-Ady.

GIRLS IT'S YOUR
STEP THAT ATTRACTS {!
Says Women Pay Too Much Heed to
their Face Instead of their CornS.

Watch your step! A brisk, lively
step is what charms more than a
lovely skin, but your high heels have
caused corns and you limp a little.
That's bad, girls. and you know it,
Corns destroy beauty and grace; be-
sides, corns are very easy to remove.
Rid your feet Of every corn by
asking at any drug store for quar-
ter Of an ounce of freeZone. This
will cost little, but Is sufficient to
remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet
A few drops applied directly upon
tender, touchy corn relieves the
soreness and soon the entire corn,
root and all, lifts right out without
pain.
This freezone is gummy sub
stance which dries instantly and
simply shrivels up the corn without
infiaming or even irritating the sur
rounding skin.
Women must keep in mind that
cornless feet create youthful step
which enhances her attractiveness.-

Clyde Brown Overseas,

Mr.. and Mrs. w. NJ. Brown, Of
Walhalla, have received a letter from
their son Clyde announcing his arri-
val in France. The letter follows:
Somewhere in France,
Aug. 81, 1918.
Dear Papa and Mama:
Well, | have landed safely in
France at last We had good trip
over - fair weather practically all
the way; two or three rainy days,
but no storms. didn't even get sea-
sick. We heard lot about the sub
marines, but did not see one on the
whole trip. We are now stationed at
a rest camp, and will probably be
here only few days till we move
on" further inland, to some train
ing school. | don't know yet what
our company is supposed to do, but
we are organized like motor truck
company. <
This is queer country. The big
gest part of the people are farmers,
but you don't see any large fields like
we have. Everything is cut up into
small patches--from a quarter to an
acre--with big hedges and walls
around every piece of land. They
must do some tall farming to live on
such small places. Practically all of
the young and middle-aged men
have gone to the front. The women
are doing everything--farming and
all.
They don't have any real wagons
over here; everybody uses carts,
with big, high wheels, like logging
carts. If they want to hitch on two
horses they put one In front of the
other, tandem style. There are no
wooden buildings here at all-every-
thing built out of hewn stone.
We have been out for a couple of
short hikes, seven or eight miles
nothing hard so far-hardly enough
to get limbered up.
How is everybody at home? Will
you send me Loyd's address? I
want to get in touch with him.
| will try to write about once
week to let you know how | am.
Don't forget to put my number on all
letters. Your son,

Bishop Ireland Dead.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 25.-Arch-
bishop John Ireland, of the St. Paul
diocese Of the Roman Catholic
church, died at 3.55 o'clock to-day
after long illness Of heart disease
and stomach trouble. He was so
years cid.
The archbishop was in frail health
for year. Last winter he went to-
Florida. When he returned early in
the spring he suffered a breakdown
and for several days was at the point
of death. After his physician had
practically abandoned hope for his
recovery he improved rapidly, and al
most Immediately after he was able
to leave his bed he celebrated SOL
emn high mass at the cathedral.
Until last fall Archbishop Ireland
took a prominent part in patriotic
activities. and his physicians at that
time attributed his breakdown to
Over-wOrk.
Born in 1888. in Ireland. a carpen-
ter's son, he was carried with his
parents in the tide Of Irish immigra-
tion to America while he was a child.

NIIXSON CONVICTED on 2s
Counts of Indictment-COOk $4,000
of COlumbia's Money.

Columbia, Sept. 26.-J. Grim Mix
son, former assistant city clerk and
treasurer Of the city OF Columbia,
was convicted Of breach Of trust with
fraudulent intent on '2S counts by q
jury III the Richland county Circuit
Court here this afternoon. MiXson
was accused OF embezzling $19.129.-
d OF the city's funds, covering a pc
rlod OF about three and one-half
years. The jury was out one hour
and ten minutes. The prosecution
introduced number of witnesses to
show how the embezzlements were
made and covered up by "doctoring''
the books Of the city treasurer's Of
ice. This testimony was technical
and rather voluminouS.
Plea of Defense.
The defense based its plea on the
proposition that Miyson was of abb
normal intelligence since his child
hood days, when he fell from horse
and injured his head. An X-ray pho
tograph of MiXson's head was intro
duced, showing that part of the
skull is missing and that the brain is
protected only by the skin. DR.. J.
w. DhpSoSh, loi Hltl superintendent
of the State Hospital for the Insane,
gave as his expert opinion that Mix
son was both physically and mentally
abnormal, not insane, but his con-
ception Of right and wrong were
merged in a twilight zone, which
probably might cause him to follow
the wrong when the right should be
his course. The shortage of IMixson
was discovered By a public account
ant going over the citys books short
ly after the recent municipal pri-
mary.
Mixson made his "get away" and
went to Jacksonville, where he en-
listed In the army at Camp John
ston. His whereabouts were reveal
ed by letter he wrote to a friend in
Columbia and he was apprehended by
the Columbia police department and
brought to Columbia for trial
