A helper comes into wash windows
and wood work, the laundry returns
everything beautifully fresh and
clean, and housekeeping is over,

In short, mother is progressive. She
realizes that while twenty-five years
ago she would have had to wash her

methods have changed; that up-to-

opportunity to render a broader
service and have equipped for It.
And mother has been wise in accept

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 q few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy Mt f1rst-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 1t 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 appearance Of abundance; an In
comparable lustre, s%oftness and luxu-
Rance.
Get q small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderlne for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that 1t has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair ind lots
of 1t If you will just try a little Dan
derine.-Adv.

STREETS WITH ODD PAVING
Few Civilized Towns Would Care to
Duplicate Thoroughfare Known
to Exist In Africa.

Paris, we are told, is to be paved
with glass, and this has been referred
to as If it were quite unknown. How
ever, this is not SO, for Lyons already
has the Rue de la Republique, with
it's glass pavements laid in blocks 8
inches square, so closely fitted that
water cannot pass through them.
But streets Of glass are not by any
means the most curious streets in the
world. There is a street In Gwandu,
Africa, which Is a yeritable place of
skulls. The town, oval in shape, has
round it a ring Of poles, every one Of
which is crowned with n human skull.
There are six gates to the town, and
every one of them Is approached by
a pavement of skulls, of which some
thing like 1900 We're used. The pave
ment is snowy white.
Philadelphia has a street made with
compressed grass, and the experiment
promised SO well after a year that
there may soon be many companion
streets of grass.

Tells Jersey Voters He De-

Asserting that the success of the Re-
publican party in the State of New
Jersey and the nation should be the
controlling factor in the political ac-
tons OF all members of the party, War;
rem G. King, who made a sharp fight for
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor, called yesterday upon all regard
less of what man they supported in the
primary to work and vote for the cleo
ton OF Newton J. Bugbee, the success
full candidate. He said he intended to
do all in his power to obtain the cleo
ton of Mr.. Bugbee by the largest pos
sible majority. q
THE issues which were issues in the
primary campaign" said Mr. King, ARE
now subordinate to the paramount issue
as to whether or not New Jersey and
the. nation are to be under Republican
rule or Democratic rule. The first spells
prosperity. progress and courageous and
resolute handling of the many grave
problems before the State and before
the nation. The second spells discord,
strife, retrogression and economic loss,
together with lack of resolution, pur.
pose and ability with which to cope
with the same problems.
II further feel it my solemn duty
not only as Republican, but as n citi-
zen, to aid In securing the election of
the party nominee.
81 shall speak next Monday night in
the interests of Mr.. Bugbee's candidacy
and my support of him will be an active
and not passive support 1t is time
for all Republicans to forget the strife
or the primary and to abide as good
citizens by the result of the primary
and to rally to the purpose of electing
Republican Governor and Republic
can members of the Legislature in the
interests both of the party and of the
