Representative Irel Gudmundsen of
Burley, who has the honor of repres-
enting Cassia county in the lower
house of the present legislature, is n
happy man today. The worried look
has disappeared from his countenance
entirely, for the Albion normal school
consolidation bill was laid to rest Mon
day on his motion to indefinitely post
pone. Representative Gudmunsen has
been camping on the trail of that
measure ever since its introduction.
With Senator McMurray he fought it
quietly but effectively. That he was
successful is apparent from the action
taken by the assembly wherein the
act originated.
Representative Gudmundsen is talk
ing a prominent part in the directing
of affairs legislative. While young
man, having been born Nov. s, 1887
at Lehi Utah, he has travelled extern
sively. AS a missionary for the Lat
ter Day Saints church he has been all
over England, France, Italy and Ger
many. Most of his travelling was done
from 1908 to 1911. The only other pub
lie office he has held is that of council
man. He is at present member OF
| the city council of Burley.

Of DANDRUFF OR
A FALLING HAIR
Save Your Hairl Double It's
Beauty in just a Few
Moments.
''Danderine" Makes Your Hair
Thick, Glossy, Wavy and
Beautiful.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot 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.
Danderine Is to the hair what fresh
showers OF rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. 1t goes right to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them. Its
celebrating, stimulating and life-pro-
ducing properties cause the hair to
grow long, strong and beautiful.
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
Danderine and carefully draw 1t
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaZ-
ing-your hair will be light. fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and luXuriance.
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store, or
toilet counter for a few cents 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 beauti-
full hair and lots of it IL you will just
try little Danderine.-Adv.

Bull Is "Exonerated." F"
Court Gives PeremptOry instruction
in Case Involving Animal.

The suit of j. c. Kincannon, Jr.,
against Sidney Barham for damages
because of the death of Eugene Mich
aels, a negro, was dismissed by per-
emptory instruction to the jury to re-
turn a verdict in favor of the defend
ant yesterday by Judge Capell.
The plaintiff entered suit on the
theory that Michaels was gored to
death by bull owned by Barham.
The negro's body was found in a lot
in which the bull was kept, the bull
at that time being united. The night
previous, when Michael. was last
seen, the bull was tied to a tree with
rope.
Much of the testimony tended to
show that the bull was not vicious
1t had been permitted to wander
about a lot through which womer
frequently passed and had beer
owned by Barham since it was calf
II was butchered soon after the deatf
of Michaels, because it was feared
the sight of the body might make
a change in the animals disposition

sufficient proof against the bull tt
