To be possessed of head of heavy
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy
wayy 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
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now--it costs but a few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply 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 trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne 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 dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp. and 1t
never fails to stop falling hair at once,
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
| small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv

The reading continued for thirty
five minutes without interruption or

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensiyely advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited. to those who are in need of 1t.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According TO sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success OF DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

The constitutlonality of the ordinance,

automobiles, may be tested soon by one
person who has refused to pay the tax.
The ground of action will be that the

visitors license, providing they do not
