why HAIR FALLS OUT

Danurun causes reverisn irrita-
ton of the scalp. the hair roots
shrink, loosen and then the hair
comes out fast. To stop falling hair
at once and rid the scalp Of every
particle Of dandruff, get a small
bottle of Danderine at any drug store

hand and rub it into the scalp. After
several applications the hair stops
coming out and you can't find any

The Benevolent Union is the Oldest
charity organization of Keokuk, and
the Benevolent Union home fors old

The home is filed to its capacity
all the time, with a waiting list OF
applicants. If the building were twice
the size it could easily be Tiled,
showing the need Of such an institu-
ton.
The board of directors having Its
management in charge is composed
of well known. Keokuk women. They
have had many problems because OF
the high cost of food and coal and
the high cost of everything else.
The Benevolent Union home is in
reality home and is not like many
institutions-all who live in the home
receive the kindest personal attention
of the matron and Of the women who
COMPRISE the Benevolent Union.
Every feature of the home Is home
