Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation 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 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 dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No Diff
ference 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-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and 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 beautiful hair qnd lots
Of it If you will just try a little Dan
derine.-Adv.

An ATTACK OF GRIP
USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have
been kept busy with the epidemic Of grip
which has visited so many homes. The
symptoms of grip this year are often very
distressing and leave the system in a run
down condition, particularly the kidneys
which seem to suffer most, as almost every
victim complains of lame back and urin-
airy troubles which should not be neglect
ed, as these danger signals often lead to
dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists
report a large sale on DR.. Kilmcr's
Swamp-Root which so many people say
soon heals and strengthens the kidneys
after an attack of grip. Swamp Root,
being an herbal compound, has a gentle
healing effect on the kidneys, which is al
most Immediately noticed in most cases
by those who try it. Dr.. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send sam
pie size bottle Of Swamp Root, on receipt
of ten cents, to every sufferer who re-
quests it. A trial will convince anyone
who may be in need Of it. Regular medi.

ON GUARD

AT this time of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, smooth, ruddy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds. Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. It is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water a half hour before
meals, and for a vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, the old-fashioned
herbal remedy, which has had such q
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-
tains no alcohol or narcotics. It is
made from Golden Seal root, Blood
root, Oregon grape root, Queens root,
Black Cherry bark, extracted with gly-
cerine and made into tablets and LIQUID.
Tablets sixty cents, at most drug stores.
In order to insure pure blood and to
build up the system try this tonic

Discovery. Get it now!

HOW THIRD DEGREE" WORKS
According to This Explanation, an
innocent Man Need Have No
Fear Of the Ordeal.

During the trial of a murder case re-
Gently the presiding judge interrupted
the testimony Of a detective to ask
him to define the third degree. The
detective replied that, although he
was familiar with the term, he was
in the dark as to just what was meant
by it.
The third degree. until recent years,
was in the main physical ordeal.
The culprit was often struck. kicked,
pincheG. and otherwise roughly ham
died. Today the third degree has be-
come more Of mental ordeal. The
prisoner is taken in hand by several
detectives, who put him through rig
orous questioning. Experienced de-
tectives assert that no guilty man can
long stand up under a severe cross
examination. and that. on the other
hand. if he be innocent. he will have
no difficulty in convincing his ques-
TONERS.
