POMFRET ROAD
From Springfield Republican,

(From Springfield Republican,
Come, Go with me to Pomfret road,
Although so very far away;
Where orchard trees the ground had
strewed
With sun kissed fruit, goodly load;
And, resting meath the bending trees
Feel magic in the passing breeze
Blown from the land of yesterday
IT'S miles away to Pomfret road,
The land OF hills and meadows green !;
Where hopes of youth so Off have
glowed
And, Ger the bending clover rode
The vagrant bees, with drowsy hum;
All Nature for the time was dumb,
A nodding DER the blossoms sheen.
The scenes like those on Pomfret road
With magic glow from yesterday,
Are ne'er forgot Though years have
strewed
Or aching hearts weary load;
And once again the Robins song
Gay troubadour of woodland
throng),
Has banished all dull care away.

Finch is rather erratic in his residen-
tial habits, and his lesser numbers
this year may be due to local distri-
button. l like to listen to the bril-
liant, rapid, musical song, given usu-
ally from the top of large tree. The
little Gildfinch's musical ''te tee, tie

always, during the latter part of the

HAIR GETS THICK.
WAVY. BEAUTIFUL
Save your hair! Doubleits beauty
in a few moments.
Try this!
Hair stops coming out and every
particle of dandruff
disappears.

Try as you will, after an applica-
ton 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
pe after a few weeks use, when
you see new hair, fine and downy at
firsL-yes-but really new hair
growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull. faded, brittle
and scraggy, just moisten a cloth
with Danderine and carefully draw
II through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. The effect
is immediate and amazing-your
hair will be light, fluffy and wavy,
and have an appearance of abund-
ance; an Incompatible lustre, soft
ness and luxuriance, the beauty and
simmer of true hair health.
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
Dander!ne from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents, and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any-that 1t has been neglect
ed or injured by careless treatment -
that's all.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers OF rain and sunshine are to.
1t goes right to the
roots, inVigorates and strenR thens
them. Its exhilarating, stimulating
and Iife-producing properties cause
the hair to grow long. strong and
beautiful.
