Thin, brittle, colorless and.scrag
gy hair is mute evidence of a neg
lected scalp; of dandruff—that
awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive
to the hair as dandruff. It robs
the hair of its lustre, its strength
and its very life; eventually pro
ducing a feverishness and itching
of the scalp, which if not reme
died causes the hair roots to
shrink, loosen and die —then the
hair falls out fast. A little Dan
derine tonight —now—any time
will surely save your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowl

tiful hair and lots of it if you just
try a little Danderine. Save your
hair! Try it! ad

that Butts county produced a to
tal of 17,015 bales of cotton last
year.
This is compared with 14,958
bales in 1913 and the yield last
year stands second only to the
great crop of 1911, when Butts

Aid to Busy Folks

in touch with neighborhood affairs even during
the rush season. He can call his neighbors in the
evening and discuss the events of the day and
arrange plans for community work after the crops
are laid by.
Every farmer needs the help of the telephone.
See the nearest Bell Manager or send a postal for
our free booklet and see how small the cost is.

That the profit derived from
newspaper advertising in six
years has enabled him to increase
his appropriation for that purpose
from $2,000 annually to SBO,OOO
per annum is the remarkable
statement made by a mail order
seedsman of Atlanta. This man
started right, for with the open
ing of his business he set aside a
certain sum to be expended in
newspaper advertising. That it
paid him is shown by the way in
which he has increased his ex
penditures along this line. Of
course we aren’t expecting anv
firm in Tilton to turn loose SBO,-
000 a year for advertising but
any merchant wh©' wishes to in
crease his business can do so by
persistent and judicious adver
tising, provided he has a good,
salable stock and! treats his cus
tomers right.—Tiftpn Gazette.
