SAVE YOUR HAIR
AND bEAUT|FY II
WITH 'DANDER|NE"
Spend few cents! Dandruff
disappears and hair stops
coming out.
Try this! Hair gets beautiful,
wavy and thick in
few moments.

II you care for heavy hair, that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an Incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of dam
druff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruff. This
destructive scurf robs the hair of its
lustre, its strength and its very life,
and if not overcome it produces 'fe-
verishness and itching of the scalp /;
the hair roots famish, loosen and die;
then the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected and
is thin, faded, dry scraggy or too oily,
get small bottle of Knowlton's DAN
derine at any drug store or toilet
counter for few cents: apply a little
as directed. and ten minutes after you
will say this was the best investment
you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless ot
everything else advertised, that if you
desire soft, lustrOus, beautiful hair and
lots of it-no dandruff-no itching scalp
and no more falling hair-you must use
Knowlton's Danderine. If eventually
why not now?-Adv.

REFUSE TO ENJOIN
THE WET AND DRY
DUVAL ELECTION

TALLAHASSEE May 13-(Spec-
| ial Late yesterday the supreme
court, by a majority of it's members
consisting of Justice Whitfield Ellis
and West, denied the supplication for
an extraordinary writ of injunction TO
prevent the holding of the wet and
dry election in Duval county tomor-
row. The case was argued orally here
last Thursday. Chief Justice Browne
and Justice Taylor dissented on the
ground that the proposition contained
in article nineteen against holding a
local option election within sixty days
of amy state or national election ap-
plies to primary elections held under
chapter $3.50. laws of Florida, act of
June 8, 1913.
The application to the supreme
court for this injunction was sub
mitted to the court last Thursday, the
9th. Before counsel had requested
last Thursdays hearing. the supreme
court had made an arrangement with
two of the circuit judges from dis
tant parts of the state TO be here Fri
day for conference in two very impor-
tant civil state cases in the decision
of which the recruit judges had been
called in the places OF Justice Ellis
and West. who were disqualified. The
conference with the circuit judges
necessarily consumed much of the
time at the close of last week because
of the Importance of the questions in
yolved in the cases. Such conference
delayed the justices of the supreme ,
court in concluding the very thorough
study which they have given to the
several knotty legal problems in
volved in the Duval county liquor
election case.

That something must be done In
regulating the price of corn and hogs
Is the substance of a letter which
has just been sent to Congressman
Scott Ferris by r. a. Lyle, one Of
the most prominent hog raisers and
farmers in the state. Mr.. Lyle states
that the present price Of hogs and
corn is out Of proportion and asks
that something be done to bring
these prices together.
The figures which Mr.. Lyle gives
are results of his long hog raising
experience and show exactly the mar
gin upon which to figure the cost of
hog production.
In his letter to Congressman Scott
Ferris, Mr. Lyle states that IL the
government will pay his running ex-
penses for the year he will devote
his time and the results OF past ex.
perience to hog raising during the
year.
The letter in part follows:
