pounds of beef instead of the deceas-

Macloon yielded to the pleas OF his
wife after a debate of two whole
hours, she insisting that Jane Cowl
must have decent burial and he
declaring that the family pet should
go to the garbage heap. He finally
told her that the deceased cat should
be taken. out in the morning and
buried, and next day as he started to

His Waist Was Too
- LARGE and Too Extensive

" Because his waist was entirely
too large for the rest of his size, a
skinny thief in Brookly, NJ Y, arous-
ed the suspicious of the police who
started on a chase for him.
When he went into a tailor shop,
the skinny man was as emaciated as
a typhoid patient, but when he came
out he had a waist that looked like
Fatty Arbuckles.
That won't do, said the policeman
on the beat, and he and another Off
Ger gave chase. They dashed through
a cellar door after the fugitive, but
stumbled. When they looked around
they found several bolts of expen-
sive cloth, worth about $1,000, which
the skinny man had stolen and wrap
ped about his waist. The fugitive
was found hiding in a dumb waiter.

GIRLS! HAVE WAVl

ELECTROMAGNETIC
Save your hair! Double its
beauty in a few mo-
ments-try this!

If YOU care for heavy hair, that
elistens with beauty and is radiant
with life, has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine. .
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it i'm
mediately dissolves every. particle
of dandruff you cannot have nice,
heavy healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf
robs the hair of it's lustre, its
strength and it's very life, and if %bt
overcome it produces a feYerishness
and itching of the scalp; the hair
roots famish, loosen and die; then
the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry, seraggly or
too oily, get a small bottle of Knowl-
toms Danderine at any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents; ap-
ply a little as directed and ten
minutes after you will say this was
the best investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless
Of everything else advertised, that If
you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful
hair and lots of it--no dandruff-no
itching scalp and no more falling
hair-you must use Knowlton's
Danderine. If eventually-why not
now?-(AdVt) 80 tPs.

Freeport had offered liberal boun-
ties for all hawks brought in, so
the boys decided to go into the hawk
raising business. Every spring when
the nests of the hawks were filled
with eggs, the boys shinnied up the
trees and carefully brought down
the eggs. Then they put them under
the setting hens and brought the
little hawks to a reasonable age.
They then killed them, took them
in to the city hall and collected
their money. But now the munich

Hunting Gas Leak With
Match Is DANGEROUS

Raymond Anderson, an 18-year-old
New York boy, has learned that it is
dangerous to hunt for leak in a
gas pipe with a lighted match. 1t
was a quick method of detecting the
leak, the search being almost instan-
taneously rewarded in the form of
an explosion.
Anderson was removing gas fix
lures in the home of DR.. and Mrs:
Homer Marsh for the installation of
electric fixtures, and as he was about
to leave after a days work, Mrs.
Marsh said that she thought she
smelled gas. Anderson lit a match
to find the leak, and in the explo-
sion which followed, all three were
badly burned.

Welcome, American Legion!
The bravest of American manhood,
who gave of their time and offered
of their lives that their country
may be forever free and honored
among the nations of the world, they
have decided to bend themselves to-
gether for as long as they live in
great national organization Of world
war veterans.
The call for the first national gath
ering of these veterans Of army and
navy has gone out. They are to meet
in caucus at st. Louis, Mo-, May 8,
9 and 10. There 1t Is expected per-
manent organization will be effected,
one which will include the whole of
the country and take in every veteran
of land or sea or air, those who got
cover there ard those who could go
no farther than training camps at
home.
Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roose-
Welt is one of the guiding spirits of
the American Legion. He has given
his time practically all since coming
back from France to perfect the or
ganiZation, ard will. be one of the
leaders at the national meeting.
The first Organization work of the
American Legion was done in Paris,
wheu national guard and reserve of
ficers serving IN the A. e. F. and
Several other rgani2ations came to-
gether in an informal meeting and
laid plans for Ehc veterans future.
From the very start it was admit
ted that the men in the ranks, and not
the officers who D.. commanded, would
be the, controlling factors in the
American Legion. 1t was intended to
to be so--a legion of. men, rather than
leg;CI of officers. It is the ex-
