Girls! Try this! When combing and dressing your hair, just moisten your hair brush with a little .'Danderine" and brush it through your hair. The effect is startling! You can. do your hair up immediately and it will appear twice as thick and heayy--a mass of gleamy, hair, sparkling with life and possessing that incomporable softness, freshness. and luxuriance. -; .. 7 :.
 While beautifying the hair 'Dande- rine" is also toning and stimulating each single hair to grow thick, long and strong. Hair stops falling out and dandruff disappears.

COST Of LIVING
NOW GOING DOWN
Food Prices Show Decrease of
A Per Cent-Gardens Cause
Cuts

ATLANTA, April 21.-In the
survey of ofood prices covering
fifty-one cities in the United States
for a period of one month, it is
shown that the cost of living is on
the downward trend, according to
Atlanta statiticians. The survey is
based or government figures and e.
ports received from private sources.
In twenty-one cities food prices
showed a decrease of four per cent.
Atlanta had three per cent de-
crease, and Birmingham nd Mo
bile two per cent decreases each.
AS summer approaches ard home
gardens add their output to the
family table, the cost of food may
be expected to show additional de-
creases, The home garden inquest
ionably, it was pointed out here by
food experts, is a money-saver to
the average family and should be
counted in the family budget.
Gardens are becoming more num-
erous in the back yards of Atlanta
homes this month. Unfavorab!e
weather retarded the starting OF
gardens foor time, but there is
little likelihood now that acold spell
will come to damage the growing
plants.
AS PORTED out here by a num-
Der of bankers and business men,
there is much satisfaction in having
the vegetables fresh from the home
garden on the home table; the home
without a garden, theyasse TT, may
not suffer for spring delicacies as
they are shipped here from every
conceivable direction-but the home
with garden has very decided
advantage when it comes to count
irg costs.

CRISP WOMEN WILL
ORGANIZE LEAGUE

CORDELE, April 21.-A meeting
was held at the Assembly room
of the Carnegie Library Friday
afternoon at 4 o'clock for the prr-
pose of organizing a Woman's Civic
League in Crisp County.
This movement has been in con-
temptation by some of the leading
women of the town ard county for
some time and during the week of
the cooking class, it was definitely
decided upon, but the date left open.
For some time it has been fell
that working organization, of all
the women's clubs was a necessity
in order that cooperation might be
had when something Of town or
county wide importance was to be
worked out.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1924-04-21

this morning yielded 175 curculios
from 107 trees. On the same date
last year these same trees gave only
IA beetles. The largest number col
lected from these trees on any morn
ing last year was only 1873. A grow
er caught 700 beetles on 400 trees
by Earring a few mornings ago.
These figures clearly show that the
weather conditions during the past
winter have not killed out the cur
culio, and that at the present eime
peach orchards il Middle Georgia
are harboring many beetles which
are endangering this years crop.
There has been a general tenden-
cy this year for growers to let up
to some extent with the spraying
program. Some have omitted the
first application altogether, while
others have altered the recommend
ed schedule. A word of warning is
therefore sounded on account of the
unwise procedure in view of the pre-
J sent curculio infestation, as revealed
by recert Earring records. All late
varieties of peaches are now ready
for the second application, and grow
ers are urged to give their spraying
more serious and careful considera-
ton.

PEACH GROWERS ARE
WARNED TO SPRAY
Abnormally Low Winter Tenn

Beetles, Experts Say

FORT VALLEY, April 21.-Gov-
eminent and state peach laboratory
experts here today officially denied
the general concensus of opinion
amory peach growers that the I'm
usual low temperatures during the
past winter have killed high per
centage of the adult peach curculios
in Information. Some have formed
the opinion that the cold weather
had practically eradicated the pest
they say, adding: these are indeed
very erroneous opinions, and broad
casting them throughout the Peach
Belt is seriously endangering the 49,

Judging from Earring records the
curculio is more numerous in peach
orchards at the present time than
they were a year ago, irrespective OF
the abnormal weather conditions
during the past winter. Our jarring

WOODRUFF TO OPPOSE
PRICE IN SEPTEMBER
Atlanta Man Announces Def
nitely intention to Get Into
Race For Commissioner

Albert Woodruff, member of
the Legislature from DeKalb coun-
ty, Atlanta machinery dealers, an
nounces that he will run for the
place of Commissioner Price, Geor-
gia public service commission, sub
ject to the fall primary.
Woodruff gained some publicity
last year in his fight in the Legis-
lature to abolish pool rooms.
r. his statement to the public
Woodruff says:
81 have definitely decided to run
against Commissioner Price in the
coming September primary.
81 have felt for a long time that
someone actively affiliated with the
business of the shippers of the State
Should be on the Commission, and it
is due somewhat to this conviction
that / have decided to make the,
race. 1t has been long number
of years since one of our citizens
thus affiliated has been on the Com
mission. Reasons justifying this
representation on the part of the
shippers of the State, as a whole,
are too obvious for discussion.
81 shall Immediately begin an
active campaign throughout the
State and expect to go into every
Courl.y in the State. In this way
of campaigning l will have ample
opportunity to thoroughly familiar
ize myself with the conditions
throughout the State and particu-
larly getting closeup view of the
agricultural interest, which to my
mind, is seriously awaiting a solu.
ton in matters of equable trauspor-
tation.
eff elected, I shall strive to the
utmost to see that absolute justice
is done to shippers and carriers
alike, fostering every legitimate en-
terprise to the end that Georgia
may maintain her stand in the fu-
ture as il the past, as the Empire
State of the South"
