FEW CENTS DESTROYS
YOUR DANDRUFF AND
STOPS FALLING HAIR
Save your hair! Make IL
thick, wavy and beau
tiful-try this!

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its lustre, it's strength and it's very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die then the
hair falls out fast. A little Oander-
inc tonight-now-any time-will
surely save your hair.
Get a small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
plication your hair will take on new
life, lustre and luxuriance which is
so beautiful. 1t will become wavy
and fluffy and have the appearance
of abundance, an incompatible
gloss and softness; but what will
please you most will be after just
a few weeks use when you will &C
tually see a lot of fine, downy hair
new hair-growing all over the
scalp.-Adv.

make THE WASTE
Land PRODUCE FOOD
Ample Time To Drain Waste Places
Before the Opening of the
Spring Work.

On nearly every Louisiana farm
there is some land that is either not
used at all or is used In such way
as to produce very little. On many
farms there are patches of low ground
which cannot be titled because they
are too wet. Usually when drained
these wet areas are the richest on
the farm.
Just at present, when the cry of the
world Is for food and more food, the
product Of these idle acres is needed.
This is an excellent time to put them
into use. Small patches of wet land
can often be drained at little ex-
pense. Between now and the open
Ing up of spHng work there will DO
ample time to do the work Every
farmer, part of whose farm is unpro-
ductive because 1t needs drainage,
should take advantage of the pres
ent opportunity to add to his cropping
area by supplying Unnecessary drain
age. These lands will produce more
than average farm lands. Every prod
uct will help feed the hungry.-L S

SOX LOSE WEIRD

BY SCORE 5 TO 3
Huge Sunday CFUwd at st. Louis
Has Afternoon of Excitement
Handed It

st. Louis, Mo, June 30.-In a
wild and weird combat Chisago's
White Sox were downed by the
Browns in the final game of the
series, 5 to 3. There was wild
pitching on both sides, weird mis-
takes by both teams, and wild root
ing and 'booing" by the big Sun
day crowd
Chicago used two hHrlers, Grover
Lodwermilk and Dave Danforth,
while st. Louis used three, Bert
Gallia, Ernie Koob and Allan Soth-
oron. Only the last named proved
steady and effective, and at times
he was on the verge of going
cuckoo" because the Sox players
objected to the ball and took turns
in looking it over and demanding
inspection by the umpires.
Then the crowd got mad at Um-
pire Owens because he wouldn' {
call strikes all the time when the
Sox were at bat. At times they
arose and denounced the defense
less umpire with loud jeers, but no
one was excited to the point of
throwing bottles.
Only seven swats on each side
were made during the game, but
the Sox had many opportunities
because of numerous passes to first
base. Seven of them walked, but
it did little good. In the pinches
the boys still had the habit of
popping up or striking out. Score

RICHARD ASKS
The FIGHTERS
TO EASE A BIT
No More Heavy Hitting Until Day
of Battle for Fear of Injury to
the Hands.

Toledo. Ohio. June 30.-For fear
of an injury to his hands on the
eve of his heavyweight champion
ship contest with Jess Willard,
Jack Dempsey, today was said TO
have eliminated all heavy hitting
from his training bouts The in
structions were issued at TIE re-
quest of Tex Richard, promoter of
the Fourth of July match, who
also intends to make the request of
willard
Sunday saw the last hard work
out for Dempsey. and from now on
the challenger will ease off rapidly
in his training.
Willard, on the other hand plans
to continue his plan of training for
speed for at least two days more.
The title holder long since drop
ped all forms of road work with
the explanation that he did not
think it benefited a man of his
tremendous bulk.
Nevertheless the controversy re-
garding Wizards training system
and his condition continues to rage
among the physical culture sharps
who are aligned in widely sePar-
ate camps. Those who think that
he should have done more work
admit that he is in better shape
than when he met Frank Moran in
New York. but claim that he is
woefully short of the con9iuon
reached when he defeated Jack
Johnson in Havana. Willard con-
tends that he has hen training for
more than three months and his
weight SLOWS this for he tips the
scale at 244 today in place of the
259 when he defeat al Moran. He
expects to enter the ring on Fri
day at about 246. This will be
about three pounds below his
weight when he won the cham
pionship.
Willard claims that his dieting
and not the work has reduced his
weight and Furthermore he does
not need to be as fine to go even
the full u rounds as he did when
he had the possibility of a As
round battle staring him in the
face. The champion is not using
brine or any other preparation to
his skin. but Dempsey is
following the old system and is
picking" his face for the contest
as did Fitzsimmons. Jeffries and
other early day champions.
Apparently more attention is
paid to the preparations of Demp-
sey's food than is the case in the
camp. While the
chefs of both training headquarters
prepare menus Of the most simple
foods, greater care is evidenced in
the chaIlenger's kitchen

All the hotels plan to install
extra cots and beds in the rooms. A
fat rate of S. bed, whether there
are two or half a dozen beds in
each room, has been established as
the minimum Only a few newspa-
permen, who have been on the
scene a month or more. will be
permitted to occupy rooms alone.
Other guests will be obliged TO
share their rooms with as many
persons as the management sees

Ad @. Thatcher, a Toledo sports
man, is the leader in the enterprise
to provide sleeping accommoda-
tons for this overflow. Thatcher
and several associates have OBJ
tanned leases on a number of va
cant buildings in the downtown
district and for the last month have
been installing cots. The two larg-

was knocked out, and that by Jim

Dempsey was given the decision
In 10 of his conflicts. Four ended
in q draw; two he lost on decis-

one was awarded to him on a foul
