Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to

exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro-
ducing properties cause the hair to
grow long, Strong and beautiful.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amazing-you hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy. and have
an appearance of abundance: an in

Get a small bottle of Knowlton's

prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any-that it has been neglected
or injured by careless treatment
that's all-you surely can have beau

try a little Danderine.-Adv.

dale about $500 worth in this vicinity.
The registering board announces
that 159 were registered here Thurs
day of which about fifty were under
the age of 81 and 100 above 81 years of
age Very few could be thought of who
did not register and these will very
likely be dealt with Immediately.
F. p. Stone has opened up his new
store on the corner adjoining his resi-
dence and says business with him IL

The term of public school for this

RawIs states that the full faculty has
been secured after some very strenu-
GUS work on the part of the trustees.
Harvesting peanuts is the order OF
the day in this locality. Farmers re-
port very satisfactory yield, but the
unstable condition OF the present mar
ket is discouraging to most of them
and it is feared that il something is
not done to guarantee a better market
for this product that the FARMERS will
again resort to the cotton crop as
present money crop, which would be
detrimental to the general development
of our country.

and denser until it becomes enveloped
IN Siberian obscurity. All this is be-
cause the play is quite correctly in the
Russian manner.
The play is about tho love Of a
Vlennese dancer for her Russian part
ner, which an evil Russian grand duke
attempts to Illustrate by attempting to
fasten on the dancer the stigma Of
spy. But the plot is not left to be
anything so simple as that. The hero
me discovers a :ision during the de-
lirum following her shooting eve do
not know why she was shotl that the
evil grand duke murdered her father,
which in some remote fashion involves
an exile from Siberia who later turns
out to be her lovers brother and the
instrument whereby the evil grand duke
and his sister are discovered 30 be
Prussian spies 1--WE forgot to say that
the time of the play is August, 1910,
and after seven Or eight acts Of maun-
dering in impossible thickets the play
is restored to conventional American
happy ending. Several people are shot,
we do not know just who they are or
but isn't Gust why is not clear, and
the whole play mysteriously tense.
In addition, the play is afflicted by
the author with "fine writing" There
are interminable speeches in which the
hero and heroine do nothing but re-
veal the beauties of their characters,
sometimes accompanied by soft music.
There are times when Henry B. Walt
hall put a cool hand on the fevered
pulse Of the play, when it seemed about
to revive and assume character-per
haps that of melodrama-but it soon
relapsed. Wilton Lackaye brought his
presence and urbanity to bear on the
evil grand duke He made smashing
exit, shouting "Deutschland Ueber
Allies" pronounced "oober"), by which
time the 2oliteness of the audience
having waned it laughed out loud.
Gilda Vaeresi tried to make the part
Of the designing grand duchess con-
vincing, but just couldn't; Laura Burt
walked in and out in a part that had
no understandable relation to the play,
as did a good many others. Khyva ST.
Adams said quite early in the pl2e:
II feel so strangely" and then went on
playing the chief role of lamar the
dancer in minor wailing chord which
We attributed to that ract, and Theo-
dore Kosloff was Sabinoff the Russian
dancer. His accent was too marked.
Altogether, the title, "The Awakening"
held out the hope that one might wake
to find it all a dream. 1t was con-
fused one

change in the policy Of that group Of
suffragists which has so long picketed

was decided upon yesterday by the
national advisory council of the or

fore the Senate last week.
"The Presidents speech was mag
nificent," said Miss Elsie Hill, Of Con
necticut. former picket at the White
House, land the woman's party will
back him in that speech to the very
end. He has made the issue clear to
all the world, and now as patriotic
duty as we'll as political duty women
must support him until our suffrage
enemies nave been conquered and
democracy has really been established
at home.
Just where the attack against the
enemies of suffrage will be made and
how it will be carried out are matters
not yet decided by the Advisory Coun-
Gil. Miss Alice Paul, chairman, left
for Hartford last night to present the
question to the Connecticut members:
The fight will begin Immediately and
the National party promises to make
vigorous national campaign.
