To be possessed Of a head OF heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruf is merely
a matter Of using little Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-al drug
stores recommend it-apply a little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, flUffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find a trace of dandruR
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at firSt-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff 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, moisten a cloth
with q little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at q time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few Moments delightful surprise

OVER ONE MILLION JARS
OF VAPORUB PRODUCED
EACH WEEK

It is with pride that we announce
to the drug trade that the shortage of
Vick's VapoRub, which has lasted since
last October, is now overcome. Since
January LIST, we have been running our
laboratory twenty-three and a half
hours out of every twenty-four. Last
week we shipped the last of our back
orders, and retail druggists, therefore,
are no longer requested to order in
small quantities only.
NOVEMBER DEAL RE-INsTATED
This deal, which we had expected to
put on last November and which had to
be postponed on account of the short
age of VapoRub, is re-instated for the
month of March. This allows a dis
count of 1917 on shipments from job
bers' stock of quantities of from 1 to
4 gross. so of this discount is allowed
by the jobber and so by us.
We advise the retail druggists to
place their orders Immediately, so that
the jobbers will be able to get prompt
shipments to them.
THANKS OF THE PUBLIC DUE THE
DRUG TRADE DURING THE
INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.
The thanks of the American public
are certainly due the entire drug trade
retail, wholesale and manufacturing
for what they accomplished daring
the recent influenza epidemic. The
war caused a shortage of physicians
nurses were almost impossible to OBJ
tain-the demand on the drug trade
was unexpected and overwhelming
and to this demand they responded
nobly. Retail druggists kept open day
and night and slept where they drop
ped behind the prescription counter
Wholesale druggists called their sales
men off the road to help fill orders
hundreds wired US to ship Vick's Vapo-
Rub by the quickest route, regardless

Lieutenant Cukela was decorated
for conspicuous gallantry near ViIIers-

an enemy strong point Lieutenant Gu

the flank and made his way toward the
German line in the face of heavy fire,
disregarding the warnings of his CON-
rades. He succeeded in getting behind
the enemy position Rushing a machine

with his bayonet. With German hand
grenades he then bombed out the re-

A TREMENDOUS JOB TO INCREASE
OUR PRODUCTION

In this emergency we tried to do our
part. We secured the country for raw
materials Traffic Manager spent
his days riding freight cars in-we
shipped raw materials In carload lots
by express and pleaded with manufac-
turers to increase their deliveries to US.
But it was a slow process. Some Of
our raw materials are produced only
in Japan-supplies in this country
were low and shipments required three
months to come from the Far East.
Then we had to recruit and train
skilled labor. We brought our sales
men into the factory and trained them
as foremen. We invented new ma
chinery, and managed to install 1t on
Christmas Day, so as not to interfere
with our daily production.
14a JARS OF VAPoRUB EVERY
MINUTE DAY AND NIGHT
By January LIST we had everything
ready to put on our night shift, and
since then our laboratory has been
running day and night. To feed our
automatic machines, which drop out
one hundred and forty-three jars of
VapORub a minute or one million and
eighty thousand weekly, has required
a force of 800 people. Our Cafe De-
partment, created for the benefit of
these workers, served 1000 meals dur
ing the month of January alone.

When the motion picture was put
upon the market as a rival to the
spoken drama, Mr.. Kane was one of
the first to grasp the significance of
the new medium and to foresee its
wonderful possibilities. From that
time he has been constantly identified
with the development of the motion
picture, having occupied positions of
Importance with several of the lead
ing film organizations in the business.
He has had his headquarters. during
the last dozen years, variously at

Arthur S. Kane, president of Real

those who lived in Topeka twenty
years ago. He grew from boyhood
here, attending the high school in the
days when it occupied the old build

played a part in his education. and
following his graduation he worked
for a time as a cub" reporter on

went to Kansas City to become sport
editor of the Times and later moved
on to the Star.
Upon the death of his father he
inherited a drug store at S26 North

BUILDERS FACE
RECORD SEASON

$100,000,000 in private building con-
tracts were reported to 1t in Febru-
airy. The total of the January con-
tracts was only half that sum.
Nearly all the states showed an In
crease from week to week during last
month in private construction work.
The New England states, for instance,
in the first week OF February reported
contracts awarded to the amount of
$4,000; in the second week, $550,000 ;
third week, 100000, and fourth week,
100000. OF this construction, % per
cent was of an Industrial character, 30
per cent business and 46 per cent resi-
dental.
New England's showing, however, is
far behind that of the Western states,
Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana,
Michigan, Missouri and Kansas show
a ivefold increase in February over
January. In this district the figures
are: First week in February, S15,000.-
600; second week, $9,000,000; third
week, $46,000,0O0; fourth week, $780,
100000.
Private Work 91H Per Cent.
In the middle West 91h per cent of
the construction contracts for Febru-
airy were for private construction, s
per cent state and municipal work and
