Value of Good Reads.

The direct effect that changing bad
roads into good roads has upon land
value and the general economic well
fare Of community is shown in sew
eraI concrete illustrations gathered
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. The department has just
issued statement on the subject,
based upon a mass of information
gathered by the office of public roads,
which is. making special study of
the economic effect of road improve
ment in, the country. According to
data gathered, where, good roads re-
place bad ones, the values of farm
lands bordering on the roads increase
to such an extent that the cost of
road improvement is equalized, if not
exceeded. The general land values,
as well as farm values, showed mark
ed advances. following the improve
nentsof roads.

GIRLS! HAVE A MASS

A Small Bottle Destroys Dandruff
And Doubles Beauty of
Your Hair.

Within ten minutes after an ap-
plication of Danderine you can not
find a single trace of dandruff or fall
ing hair and your scalp will not itch,
but what will please you most will be
after few weeks use, when you see
new hair, fine and downy at first
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 Danderines and cerefully draw
it through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. The effect
is amazing-your hair will be light,
fluffy and wavy, and have an appear
ance of abundance; an incOmpar-
able lustre, softness and luxuriance.
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any-that it has been neg
lected or injured by careless treat
ment-that's all-you surely can
have beautiful hair and lots of it if
you will just try a little Danderine.

SHOWING PATRIOTISM BY CLAIM
ING EXEMPTION.

Does patriotism, like charity, begin
at home? Provost Marshal General
Crowder evidently thinks it does,
since he is openly appealing to reg
istrants in the new draft to ask for
exemption or deferred classification
whenever they are entitled to it,
even though their patriotism inclines
them to waive any such claims. 1t is
evidently felt by the military author
tiles that the number of able-bodied
men of draft age without dependents
is ample for the military needs Of
the country, and that it is just as
unpatriotic for a man whose family
needs his support to neglect his home
duties because of excessive patriot
ism as it is for a physically eligible
+registrant without dependents to
evade the draft.

Pills in Paris.

tried different remedies to no avail.
until I got hold of Doan's Kidney

me and continued taking them un-

always been slight, and Doan's Kid

There was lack of sympathy upon
the part of certain secretaries cou'

from. an assumption that the soldiers
life was necessarily demoralizing.
And some secretaries were charged
with a lack of spontaneity and a
tendency to perform their duties in

A very brief examination of the ma
jture of the foregoing complaints VIII

their importance depends entirely up
on the frequency with which they
we're justified. Their character
makes it quite possible that they may
be true in not few isolated In

care exercised in selecting competent
men with special training for the po-
sition of secretaries among the vast
number appointed some incompetents

Iof prices has been brought up on for.

been satisfactorily explained. Many
cases might contribute to temporary
lack of supplies at some particular

demoralizing is merely another In
