AS the nature of the program had
been kept secret the members were
very curious when they received pro-
grams on which the names of tho per-
formers appeared In French. some of
them being somewhat familiar. and
thcy were more mystificd when the
president, Miss Anna Maude Kimberly,
announced that the members were to
be taught a new language. She also
announced that the club was glad TO
reCoGniZe its talented members. who
would give the entire program. Inc
whole affair which was exceedingly
amusing, was put on in clever man
ner, each one carrying out her part or
the program which ranged from the
sublime to the ridiculous, to her ut
most ability.

gave the first number on the program,
which consisted of old-fashioncd piano
numbers to which she gave three en-
cores Her costume and makeup
also added much to the number. Then

Limit Flour and
Sugar Sales; Not
to Be Advertised

The United States food administra-
ton has sent out q universal schedule
regarding the sales of flour and sugar
relative to the amount Of -four a grocer
may sell to one family and the profit
to which he is entitled.
The following rules have been re-
ceived by local dealers:
Sugar limhations-Five pounds to
town or city customers. Ten pounds
to rural customers
Flour limitations-One quarter bar
rel to town customers. One-half bar
rel 10 rural customers.
Merchants dealers or manufacturers
arc subjected to the following penal
ties: Supplies to be shut off from mills,
wholesalers and other distributors. Ii

sixty days supply. Penalty for viola
ton is fine or imprisonment or Doth
1t is explained that the government
does not attempt 10 fix the profits or
dealers. A gross profit of 81 per bar
rel is believed to be a good profit for
tho retailer and anything over $l.25 Il
barrel would be looked upon by the
government as protteerng.

To be possessed of a head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter Of using a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots Of It. Just get
a 25-cent bottle OF Knowlton'S Dan
derine now-all drug stores recon-
mend 1t: apply a little as directed and
within ten minutes there will be an
appearance Of abundance, freshness,
fuffiness, ana an Incompatible gloss
and lustre; and try as you will. you
can not find a trace OF dandruf or
falling hair: but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use.
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at frst-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp.
Danderine is, we believe. the only sure
hair grower, destroyer Of dandruff and
cure for itchy scalp, and it never fails
to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, noisten a cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at a time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this.

COAL STOCKS DECREASE.
Available Supply Falls OF SIP Tons il,
First Week Of Year.

That there was a quite noticeable
falling off in the supply Of fuel in the
hands Of dealers for local use is shown
by their reports to the city fuel com
mission for the week ending Jan. 5.
The decrease in stocks amounted to
512 tons in the week. The total stock
of coal and coke on hand Jan. was
reported as 4,047 tons, compared with
4,559 tons Dec. 90. OF the stocks on
hand Dec. 30 there was 2529 tons of
coal. and 5000 tons of coke, compared
with 2,147 tons Of coal and 1900 tons
Of coke Jan. 5,''a decrease of 3s2 tons
of coal and 1870 tons of coke. The re-
ceipts Of fuel in the week were Lis
tons, and the amount sold was 1923
tons. 1t is pointed out by coal dealers
that the stocks iii hand may he eS-
pected to decrease steadily during jan
uary and February because Of the re-
buying by persons who stocked up
early in the winter and who always
have to buy an additional supply dur
ing this and the next month.
