of the infant was saturated with wat

put dry clothing on it. Then she

SAVE YOUR HAIR!
4 SMALL BOTTLE
STOPS DANDRUFF
APPEARS AND HAIR STOPS
COMING OUT.
TRY THIS! YOUR HAIR APPEARS
GLOSSY, ABUNDANT, WAVY
AND BEAUTIFUL.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing SO destructive to
the hair as dandruff- 1t robs the
hair Of its lustre, its strength and its
very life; eventually producing a
feverishness and itching of the scalp.
which if not remedied causes the
hair roots to shrink, loosen and die
then the hair falls out fast. A little
Danderine tonight-now-any time
will surely save your hair.
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for few cents, and
after the first application your hair
will take on that life, lustre and
luxuriance which is SO beautiful. 1t
will become wavy and fluffy and
have the appearance of abundance,
an incompatible gloss and softness:
but what will please you most will be
after just few weeks use, when
you will actually see lot of fine
downy hair-new hair-growing all
over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what
fresh showers Of rain and sunshine
are to vegetation. 1t goes right to
the roots, invigorates and strength
ems them. It's exhilarating and life
producing properties cause the hair
to grow long. strong and beautiful.

FINE OF $3.50
IN ENGLAND
It's Risky Business over There to Vio-
late War Food Laws Which
Have Teeth in
Them,

WASHINGTON, March 12.-If you
care to spend about $3.50 in fines and
rest three months in an English Jail.
all You have to do is violate some of
Great Britain's stringent food laws.
Should you want to be as kind
hearted as the English vicar one Rev.
e. A. Phillips, by aiding the secretary
of training camp for disabled sol
diers to secure more than his due al
lowance of sugar, then part with the
first 800. The kind vicar after due
process of law in an En- glish court,
paid just that much for his crime
The next thing you have to do to
start your three months in Jail is to
take several sleek and fine looking
pigs and feed them on a ration of
bread and meal, as their proud pos
SCISSOR, Frederick Moore, of Oxenhope,
did. Three months in jail. Charge:
Using bread otherwise than for hui
man food
If you don't care to lose another S12
in fines you should remember that the
British government requires sworn
statements of the amounts Of sugar re-
CURED by individuals for preserving
fruits. Should your demand be great
er than that required by the fruits you
want to preserve, then pay another
$40. like the Rev John Hopkins, of
Brentford, who demanded thirty-six
pounds of sugar to preserve plums
from four plum trees in his orchard.
The remainder Of the $500 you can
surrender to British courts of justice
by committing the following crimes:
Serve milk and bread as breakfast
for your pet dogs, $25.
Throw just three pieces OF bread In
garbage can and let the English po-
lice find them there, SIS.
Keep a grocery store at Cardiff.
Wales and say to your customer, Il
will not sell you any sugar unless you
buy a larger quantity Of goods" and
then hand him back his ration card
g $3.50.
Sell a pond of mutton for one cent
more than the price prescribed by the
British ministery of food, $3.50.
Be a prominent resident OF Summing
quantity Of sugar than necessary to en-
terrain your friends at tea, S125.
Offer a higher price for slaughtered
hogs than that prescribed by law, and
pay, in addition to court costs, $125.
And finally, if you want to retain
your last $50 just take a lesson from
John Reiff, the enterprising baker in
Red Lion street, London, who. to meet
his customers demand, sold bread
baked Just few hours before. Fifty
dollars fine. Charge: Selling bread
that had not been baked for twelve
hours, as required by the bread law in
England.
