Dandruff is our national shame
because people ignore the truth
about their hair. Dandruff is a
scalp disorder. Soap and water
can't cure a sick scalp.
Forget surface treatments and
get down to the glands.
All hair is nourished by tiny
glands, deep in the scalp. When they
don't open, your hair Starves, gets
dry and brittle, and in time falls
out. What hair is left loses color.
But instead of touching up" hair
that's streaked or off-color, try
gland stimulation. Faded locks will
come back like magicl Fermentation
wiH revive the natural color of any
hair not completely, permanently
gray. Start stimulation of those

to cut through gummed pores and
hardened secretions. The first treat

week will loosen the tightest scalp.
Two weeks will give the hair new
life and promote vigorous coloring

Danderine makes the hair grow,
measure a lock before you begin

If your hair is so dead it will
scarcely hold a wave, or your scalp
is granular and greasy from wasted
secretions, stimulate the lazy glands

RARE COFFEE WINS COUNTLESS NEW
 USERS BY FLAVOR
Amazing Popularity of Hills Bros. Coffee Tribute to
 Roasting Process

Years of experiment. by Hills Bros. have resulted in the origina- tion and perfection of the only Controlled Roasting process in use today.
 By Hills Bros.' patented process, the degree of roast is positively controlled. The quantity of coffee passing into the roaster - about three pounds at a time-does not vary. The speed of the flow and the temperature remain the same, with the result that Hills Bros. Coffee is absolutely uniform. This roasting method is to a large de- gree responsible for the frequent question, "Why is Hills Bros. Coffee always the same?"
 Comparisons show that Hills Bros. Coffee has a flavor no other coffee has. The ordinary method of roasting in bulk cannot insure a uniform roast because there is a lack of control.
 The vacuum can, in which Hills Bros. Coffee is packed, keeps the coffee fresh. Air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is completely removed from the can and kept out. Coffee does not stay fresh in ordi- nary cans, even if air-tight. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab-the trade mark -on the can. Sold by grocers everywhere.

 Unfortunately you missed your chance-and I've no inclination to give you fresh opportunity. Sup pose you think the matter over. Let me hear from you-shall we say within a week.
