Newspaper Page TextHungry Hungarians Sell Tombstones to Buy Food and Drink BUDAPEST. “Nice family tombstone; little used; for sale,” an advertisement published in the newspapers here, has directed at tention again to the poverty of the’formerly well-to-do families. Many of them early began to sell rugs, furniture and jewelry to get food, but some now have noth ing left but heirlooms. Lieut. Bowden and Davidson of the American relief adminis tration found it necessary re cently to select from 152,000 "in tellectual” applicants there who should be given 4,000 available relief parcels. WOUNDED HERO IS JEERED BY WATSONITES —r— David P. Autrey, Jr., ex-servico man, came up from Griffin Tuesday morning, and went to the headquar ters of Atlanta Post, No. 1, Ameri con Legion. ”1 want to know what to. say to pople who throw it up to me that they are ‘being taxed’ so the govern ment can pay me while I’m not able to work,” he explained. This is a plain fact. This boy, who enlisted—who volunteered at the age of seventeen; went to France to fight for Undle Sam; fell in the Argonne forest with a machine gun bullet through his right lung and another through his left wrist, has been told, and more than once, by people of his home town, that they are "being taxed” to keep him up while he wasn’t working—while, in ferentially, he was loafing "spong ing” on the government. “It was a girl said this to me last time,” said young Autrey. “And it’s —it’s pretty hard to stand. Os course, I know what does it. It’s the things Tom Watson has been saying about the government and about the fellows who are getting compensa tions for being disabled in the ser vice. But I want to know what to say back to them, when they throw a thing like that in my face.” ‘ Autrey was a private .in the Sixtieth infantry. Fifth division, when he stopped those two machine gun bullets. He was discharged June 17, 1919, but the results of those wounds were not wiped out by his discharge from the service. A recent X-ray examination showed an acute bronchial trouble and an en larged heart; while a general diag nosis showed neuritis —a terrible nerve malady. Any one can see the trembling of his hands, especially the left one. This young man is unfit for work; he is under a doctor’s care; he lives outside of Griffin, so as to be in the country. •“But they see mto think because I’m not dead—because I can wear my clothes and walk around—that I’m all right, and that I’m ‘spong ing’ on the government,” he said. "Some members of the Legion offered to pay my way up here to And out what >.o say to answer these people the best way. But I paid my own way—this is my own personal situa tion. At that, I am going to join the Legion soon. The members un derstand these things. And I want to find out what to say to those Wat son people that throw it in my face that they are paying taxes to keep me up.” Trammell Scott and others gave him plenty of things to say, docu mentary and otherwise.

SHIPPING PACT WITH GERMANY MADE BY U. S. ■WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—-Opera tion of American ships on former German trade routes to all parts of the world has the sanction and support of the shipping board, Chairman Benson announced, in making public co-operative working agreements between the American Ship and Commerce Corporation of New York and the Hamburg-Amer ican line of Germany. In .his summary of the agree ments the chairman declared the shipping board would "look forward to seeing one of its constructive plans carried out,” There is no German money in the American end of the business in any place nor is there any agreement expressed or implied for German in vestment in any of the American companies,” he added. The arrangement is for twenty years and consists, the chairman said, of a general agreement cov ering the principles to be followed by the two concerns and an operating agreement covering the methods of carrying out the plan. In general it provides that each party may par ticipate with an equal amount of tonnage in such passenger and freight services as shall be estab lished which will include service between the United-States and Ger many and Germany and parts of the world other than the United States. Pier facilities, port and office or ganizations of both compnies are placed at the disposal of the service.

LINCOLN, Neb.—What is said to be the largest co-operative organi zation of farmers in the United States has just been formed here.* It will market the grain of the 40,000 members of the Nebraska Farmers’ union and eliminate middlemen and brokers. This organization, known as the National Co-operative Company, with a capital authorized at $2,000,1)00, according to C. H. Gustafson, of Lin coln, president of the state union and organizer and president of the company, has 1,500 locals, 300 grain elevators, fifty general stores, three creameries and two flour mills, 'be sides nearly a hundred shipping asso ciations. • The union also has a live stock commission office in the yards of Omaha, Sioux City, St. Joseph and Denver and a big wholesale exchange in Omaha, which carries everything from farm implements to groceries to supply its retail stores. The corporation, Mr. Gustafson said, expects soon to build or lease a big terminal elevator in Lincoln or Omaha, and negotiations are in prog ress for seats on the Lincoln and Omaha grain exchanges. A regular commission business will be conducted for local companies par ticipating, Mr. Gustafeson said, and net profits will be prorated on the basis of business done, after the com pany pays 8 per cent dividends on its stock. The corporation also plans to find a market for all farm products, to locate and build elevators and to give technical assistance in book keeping and accounting methods to participating members. U. S. OUTLINES ITS TERMS FOR MEXICAN STUDY MEXICO CITY, Aug. 17.—(8y the Associated Press.)—President Wil son is ready to recognize the pres ent Mexican government if the latter agrees' with the terms set forth in a proposal from Secretary of State Colby on this subject, according to a message sent to President de la Huerta from Fernando Calderon, Mexican high commissioner to the United States, now in the American capital, says the Excelsior today. Secretary Colby’s proposition, ac cording to the newspaper, was: 1. That North American lives and property be respected. 2. That indemnities be paid for eigners who suffered during the rev olution. 3. That the Carranza decrees which are found to be confiscatory be abrogated. RECOGNITION NOT YET . PROMISED BY U. S. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.—The three proposals given in Mexico City dispatches as precedent to recogni tion of 4he present Mexican govern ment oy the United States are “only a few pf the conditions announced by this government,” according to a state department official. It is true that the three conditions—respect for American lives and property, indem nities paid foreigners who suffered during the revolution, and deroga tion of the confiscatory decrees of Carranza are among the conditions laid down, but "performance of du ties instead of mere promises” is put above all conditions, it was said. Recognition has not been promised Mexico under any conditions, it was authoritatively stated today. The state department is inclined to await developments in Mexico be fore granting recognition, to see how stable a government the present regime is able to establish and to what extent it is willing to perform by actual deeds the international ob ligations of a civilized state.

HOKE SMITH MEN DE 1906 RSLLY ID SENATOR’S CAUSE Senator Smith’s Speaking Appointments for Week Senator Hoke Smith’s speaking appointments for the remainder of the week follow; Wednesday, 11 a. m., Clarkes ville, Habersham county. Wednesday afternoon, Toccoa, Stephens county. Thursday noon, Greenville, Meriwether county. Thursday, 5:45 p. m., Manches ter, Meriwether county. Friday night, Athens, Clarke county. Saturday morning, Madison, Morgan county. Saturday afternoon, 2 o’clock, Monroe, Way'on county. After a whirlwind trip through Terrell and Randolph counties, Sen ator Hoke Smith returned to Atlanta Tuesday morning and beamed with satisfaction at his • campaign head quarters in the Piedmont hotel as he conferred with his political advisers respecting the conditions he found in southwest Georgia. “In nona of my political campaigns have I ever received more encourage ment,” declared the senator,. “My friends in Terrell, Randolph and adjoining counties are active and militant, and the information they gave to me scarely could have been more gratifying. “I ;net friends not only from the counties in which I made speeches, but I, conferred with numbers of loyal supporters from Calhoun, Early, Clay, Quitman. Dougherty, Macon, Stewart and Webster counties, who assured me that my candidacy is in good shape and getting better every day.” Senator Smith remarked that his trip to southwest Georgia reminded him. of the good old days of 1906. The intensity and ardor of his friends in his first gubernatorial campaign were never more pro nounced than today, and the memor able ovations accorded him in those exciting times were comparable only to the demonstrations provoked Mon day by his visits to Terrell and Ran dolph county. “It was one of the busiest days I have had in a long time,” he said, “but I enjoyed every minute. I was gratified at seeing so many familiar faces in the crowds that greeted me at Dawson, Shellman and Cuthbert, and I was touched by their determi nation and earnestness. I met lit erally hundre of men who were with me in 1906 in smashing the po litical ring in Georgia, and they are with me today.” A Busy Day For a man sixty-five years old, the day was, indeed, a hard one for Sen ator Smith. He arrived at Dawson at 6:30 o’clock in the morning, after all night on a sleeping car. He made three speeches during the day, and at no time did he talk for less than an hour and a quarter, and his last address, at Cuthbert, was made in the open air. The Cuthbert meeting was a fine one. It was held in the open air be cause the Randolph county court house would not begin to hold the people who- clamored for the oppor tunity of hearing and cheering the senator. A conservative estimate placed the size of the crowd at 2,- 000 people, but its size was no more impressive than its character and the attentiveness with which Mr. Smith’s speech was received. Every business house in Cuthbert closed its doors at 4 o’clock in the afternoon in order to afford every one an opportunity of gratifying a desire to hear. Senator Smith. In addition, there were hundreds of farmers from the surrounding coun try and representative delegations .from Clay, Calhoun, Stewart and Quitman counties. Ninety-five per cent of the voting population of Cuthbert proper heard the senator’s speech, and local lead ers estimated that the crowd contain ed at least 50 per cent of the voters of Randolph county. Considering that Senator Smith had addressed several hundred people at Shellman, in the upper end of the county, ear lier in the afternoon, the Cuthbert meeting was truly remarkable. A number,' however, who had heard him in the morning at Dawson and again at Shellman were at Cuthbert to get an “ear-full” for a third time during the day. The Cuthbert meeting was ar ranged by A. C. Moye, one of the leading citizens of Cuthbert, who de served the commendation that was showered upon him for the success of the occasion. It was at his in-' stance that the stores of the city closed during the speech of the sen ator, as witness the following agree ment and signatures: “We the merchants of Cuthbert agree to close our places of business from 4 o’clock through the speaking of Hon. Hoke Smith: (Signed) A. M. and W. C. Sawyer, R. C. Parker, Bank of Cuthbert, R. L. Arthur, Georgia Bank and Trust Company, A. Jones, Jake Harris, Cuthbert Motor Car company, Mat tox & Reid, Randolph Grocery com pany, Alston Brothers, J. S. Zuber, J. T. Moye, Chero Cola company, H. R. Taylor, Cuthbert Grocery com pany, A. C. Quliian, Albert Royal, W. C. Sawyer, Jr., J. E. Ware, Gay hotel, Alston Auto company, J. B. Stewart, L. S. Bussey, J. J. McClel land, Mrs. R. L. Hester, Z. F. Gib son, T. A. Roberts, A. C. Knight, Gus Shaffer, Wade Smith, J. E. Mar tin & Son, Hollemon & Wenford, J. T. Turner, L. A. Hunt, D. A. Mc- Shin, G. Y. Moore, S. S. McLeod, Peerless Manufacturing company, D. B. Teachout, Cuthbert Refining com pany, L. E. Gwaltney and others. The crowd at Cuthbert was, ac cording to local authorities, the largest ever assembled in the city for a political meeting, which is all the more impressive when it is un derstood that there was no court in session, no barbecue or other attrac tion to encourage a turn-out. The people came only to hear Senator Smith. ♦ The senator drove through the country from Shellman, concerning which meeting there is further re mark elsewhere. He drove directly to the courthouse, but found the au ditorium packed to its capacity. Hun dreds .had been turned away, and there was not an available bit of standing • room obtainable. "I have made two speeches al ready today, and my voice is not as strong as it might be, but rather than disappoint any one, I will de part from my usual custom and speak in the open air, if it the wish of the people,” said Senator Smith, replying to tfie suggestion of his lo- 1 Ip orl pr o Hundreds of chairs and benches were placed in the public square, and the senator spoke from an elevated platform. Perfect order prevailed throughout his speech. His voice had its usual carrying capacity, and his remarks easily were audible to every one in the big gathering. Some of those recognized in the crowd were Dr. F. D. Patterson, Dr. G. Y. Moore, J. J. Howell,. J. W. Stanford, John Coram, J. B.’ Stan ford, Dr. J. C. Patterson, Dr. Crook, Professor F. G. Branch, president Andrew college; Dr. W. J. Wade, Dr. Smith, P. M. Reid, T. A. Roberts, B. Bass, W. B. Stanford, J. Hl Wal ters, J. W. Fellows, Nelson Fellows, A. A. Lockett, G. R. Swann, W. E. King, mayor; C. B. King, A. Jones, W. O. Taylor, E. C. Teel, president Bank of Cuthbert; H. L. Hill, cashier Bank of Cuthbert; A. J. Moye, L. M. Moyle, J. T. Moye, G. A. Moye, J. D Gunn, W. A. Perryman, John Pearce, T. E .Shaffer, A. L. Moore, R. L. Molton, J. J. Lunsford, clerk superior court; W. E. Taylor, sheriff; Judge J. C. Graham, J. W. Harris, Judge W. D. Kiddo, and many other promi nent Randolph county folk. Among visiting delegations from adjoining counties, J. W. Andrew’s, C. S. Sealey- and Messrs. Killings worth and Bostwick were present from Calhoun county. T. W. Oliver Alex Teel and others were present from Quitman county. E. R. King, Jack Simpson and others from Clay county were recognized. J. N. Watts, D. A. Crown and others came from Shellman. Ponzi's Bubble Recalls Other Famous Disasters In IN or Id’s Chronicles Developments in the Ponzi case serve to recall many financial bub bles of a spectacular nature which have claimed places in history. Ventures that offer a speedily ac quisition of riches, while long a weakness of individuals, have some times tempted governmens away from, the policy of conservative in vestment. The’re are two suqh spec tacular deviations in history, the Briish Souh Sea company bubble and the French Mississippi company affair. Both had equally disastrous results. Some 200 years ago the British and French governments were victims of these hasty wealth schemes, when they undertook to eliminate their unfounded national debts by backing ventures with companies who were to exchange their stock for the out standing unfounded government debt, in consideration of exclusive trade rights in certain parts of the world. During the ten years that the South Sea proposition flourished up ward of $60,000,000 worth of govern ment obligations were turned over to the company. At one time the con cern had a capital of nearly $250,000,- 000, and its stock w’as forced up 1,050 per cent. Nearly every one in Great Britain invested in this venture, and when the crash came, thousands of families were ruined. About the same time as the South Sea affair, John Law, a Scotsman, in duced the French government to try a similar plan of wiping out its na tional debt. All France was in an orgy of speculation, and the stock in the Mississippi company increased twenty times in value. The crash came sooner than did the collapse of the South Sea bubble, and vast num bers of people in France were ruined. Speculation in blue sky proposi tions is an old and long story with little variation. During the nine teenth century schemes of "a lot for a little” were numerous in different parts of Europe. A lord chief justice of England estimated that from 1891 to 1897 the British public had lost 28,000,000 pounds by venture of this sort. In recent years in America the most spectacular “get-rich-quick” plan was operated by the Franklin-Miller syn dicate, in which the notorious “520 per cent Miller” was involved. Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick, of Cleve land, was said to have obtained $2,- 000,000 by operations which she car ried on in Ohio cities. She was ar rested in 1904. Her method con sisted of borrowing money from men of financial standing on supposedly valuable securities which later prov ed worthless. Mme. Therese Humbert, a French woman, followed a similar scheme in her own country over a period of several years prior to 1903. She was credited with obtaining millions, and she and her husband were alleged to have spent $10,000,000. They were arrested in Madrid and taken back to France, where they were sentenced to prison. Senator Smith Favors Protection For Peanut Crop SHELLMAN, Ga., Aug. 17. —A fea ture of Senator Smith’s speech here Monday afternoon and of his address at Cuthbert that met with a hearty response was his reference to the peanut industry, which is one of the big crops of this section. • The nut growers are sufering fi nancial loss and the industry is threatened because of the free im portation of peanuts from Japan and other foreign markets, which come in competition and undersell the Georgia peanut. “I believe the peanut Industry is entitled to protection,” the senator told the people. “I believe the fed eral government should not discrim inate against an industry that is so important to the people of Georgia, and I will exercise my influence in the senate to see that the industry is given adequate protection from the competition foforeign imports.” Beef Cattle Meeting At Millhaven Thursday WALCROSS, Ga., Aug. 17.—Fol lowing “Paisture Field Day,” which will be held in Thomasville on Tues day,, August 17, under the auspices of the Georgia association, with headquarters in Waycross, and the State College of Agriculture at Athens, a “beef cattle field meeting” will be held in Millhaven, Ga., on the plantation of E. T. Comer, one of the largest stock raisers in the state of Georgia, Thursday, August 19. The purpose of the meeting in Mill haven is to give the cattle raisers of the state an opportunity to see and study carefully the system of management used in the largest high grade herd of cattle in Georgia. This plantation is known as the S. M. S. ranch of Georgia and on it are 1,000 head of exceedingly high grade cows. The herd was started thirteen years ago from a shipment from Texas. In addition to the in spection of this modern ranch sev eral well known authorities on the raising and care of cattle will make addresses, chief of which will be Dr. Milton P. Jarnagin. It is con sidered that “beef cattle field meet ing” and "Pasture Field Day,” will be two of the biggest events of the year for the farmers and stock rais ers of Georgia. Vindictive, Sunk in War, Is Refloated LONDON, Aug. 17.—The British light cruiser Vindictive, which was sunk in the entrance of Ostend har bor on May 11, 1918, and which has blocked that port since that time, has been refloated and the port is again open for traffic. The sinking of the Vindictive was one of the most thrilling events of the last years of the war. New Law Affects Americus Taxpayers AMERICUS, Ga., Aug. 17. —One of the local bills passed by the last legislature is of vast importance to Americus taxpayers, prescribing, as it does, the manner in which tax as sessments may be fixed, and leav ing w’ith the board of tax assessors final authority in the matter of arbi tration, heretofore vested in an im partial board of three citizens named by the city, the complaining tax payer and the two selecting an um pire. Under the new law, which was prepared <by Mayor J E. Sheppard and introduced by Representative Pace at the request of city cluncil, after City Attorney Lane had passed upon the validity of the measure, taxpay ers are given five days in which they may lay their complaints, if any they have, before the board, but no appeal from the decision of that body is provided for. Charged With Operating Liquor Pumping Station J. D. Perkins, who operates a pump ing station near the Southern rail way crossing on West Fair street, pumped corn whisky from a large tank in his garage when bystanders and officers Os the law thought it was gasoline, federal agents testi fied Tuesday before United States Commissioner Colquitt Carter. Raiding Perkins’ place Monday, the prohibition agents seized a tank, pump and a quantity of whisky. Com missioner Carter placed the defend ant under bond and ordered his ap pearance before the next federal grand jury. Stewart County Will Hold Road Mass Meeting For the purpose of organizing a good roads association, the citizens of Stewart county will hold a mass meeting at Lumpkin Thursday morn ing, August 19, at 10 o’clock. Frank T. Reynolds, secretary of the Geor gia State Automobile association, will speak. THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1020. Pioneering in Pitch w ’JI l|g| Drawing sap From Douglas Fir Extracting rosin and turpentine from the Douglas fir is the latest effort to increase the waning sup ply of naval stores in this" country. The southern pine—"the land of tar, pitch and turpentine”—may have ’to yield its hitherto unchallenged su premacy to other species of wood in the forests of the west. The United States forest service has issued a permit to a concern in Portland, Ore., to extract pitch from 160 acres of Douglas fir on the Ump qua national forest. This turpentine company is considered as having undertaken a bit of pioneering, which may ultimately open new sources for naval supplies and likewise enhance the value of the Douglas fir. Fur thermore, the project has for its pur pose the utilization of trees that have been wrenched from their bear ings by storms, the rosin being re covered from the cracks and seams of the Douglas wood. Marry in Spite of Friday, the 13th MONTICELLO, N. Y.—To knock out the “Friday the 13th” jinx, Miss Jennie B. Robinson, of Manhattan, and Frank G. Lenox, of Sheepshead bay, stood on a rock at the boun dary of three states last week to be married. The Rev. A. A. Walker, holding a rabbit’s foot in one hand and. a prayer book in the other, per formed the ceremony. The rock is in the Delaware river at Port Jervis, where the states of New York, Penn sylvania and New Jersey come to gether. “ASPIRIN” WARNING!

You cannot expect to forge ahead in life with plenty of energy and power if your blood is thin and watery any more than you can hope to run an automobile on water instead of gasolene. It takes pure, red blood—rich in iron—to keep the human machine working right. Without iron your every action lacks power, your red blood corpuscles die by millions, the strength goes from your body and you drop among the weaklings and “But when such men and women supply the right kind of iron to their blood, a most surprising change often takes place,” says Dr. John J. Van Horne, formerly Med ical Inspector and Clinical Physician on the Board of Health of New York City. “The weak, colorless blood which had been mov ing sluggishly in the veins becomes rich and red and courses through the body, build ing healthy tissue, giving renewed force and increased strength. Without this rich, red blood with plenty of iron in it, there can be no physical perfection or force to carry on one’s work. Yet to take the wrong kjnd of iron may prove worse than useless just as the wrong sort of food will often fail to give the proper nourishment. Organic iron —Nuxated Iron—by enriching the blood and creating new blood cells, strengthens the nerves, rebuilds the muscles and helps instill the whole system with fresh vigor and en durance whether the person be young or old. I strongly advise every man or wo man who is fagged out by worry, work and other strains to build up strength, and Dry Raid Strips Town of Officials CHICAGO. —Lemont, 111., is a suburb, and in the old days of the Illinois Canal was a noted town. Now it has no government. The mayor, chief of police, five aidermen and other city were taken in a Colstead raid. They are all charged with dealing in hard drink. The mayor, Herbert New, has a "soft" drink parlor. Each of the aidermen has one. Major aDl rymple, prohibition enforcement commissioner, asserts that the soft and hard liquor are turned on alternately. “This is the first arrest in our town in three years,” said the mayor. “No robberies, thefts or murders, and here we are up for bootlegging. It’s fierce.” HOLDER WANTS TO MEET OPPONENTS IN JOINT DEBATE LOUISVILLE, Ga., Aug. 17.—John N. Holder, candidate for governor, spoke at the courthouse here at 11 o’clock Monday. About 200 peo ple were present, and listened atten tively throughout. Mr. Holder began by outlining his platform and paying a high tribute to the veterans of the world war and assuring them of his continued pa tronage. He then expressed his de sire to meet all the candidates for the governorship in a joint debate at as many places as possible after this week. Mr. Holder compared the record of ’ex-Senator Hardwick with that of his own, and said that the senator had opposed every constructive piece of legislation proposed by the Demo cratic party while a member of the United States senate. He further ac cused Mr. Hardwick of indorsing the candidacy of Governor Cox and Roosevelt, and at the same time de nouncing the platform on which they are running, and denouncing Presi dent Wilson and the present Demo cratic administration. Mr. Holder pointedx out that Mr. Hardwick did not offer, either in his platform or in his numerous speeches, any relief for the present lack of funds on the part of the Georgia treasury. When the speaker said that the Harwick campaign of bitterness throughout the state was very unfortunate for the state, the audience broke into applause. In reference to Clifford Walker Mr. Holder merely stated that Mr. Walker got the governor in a serious pre dicament when he advised that special taxes could be collected for seven years back and that he was going over the state preaching against the Bolshevik! when there were no Bol shiviki in Georgia. Mr. Holder left Louisville for Mid ville, in Burke county, to speak in the afternoon.

The plague may be present among rodents long before it makes its appearance among human beings. health by taking organic iron—Nuxated Iron I—for 1 —for I consider it one of the foremost blood and body-builders, the best to which. I have ever had recourse.” Dr. James Francis Sullivan, formerly physician of Bellevue Hospital (Outdoor Dept.) New York and the Westchester County Hospital says: “I have strongly emphasized the great necessity of physicians making blood examinations of their weak, anaemic, run-down patients. Thousands of persons go on year after year suffering from physical weakness and a highly nerv ous condition due to lack of sufficient iron in their red blood corpuscles. To supply this iron deficiency and to help build strong, healthier men and women, better able phys ically to meet the problems of everyday life, I believe phvsicians should at every opportunity prescribe organic iron—Nux ated Iron—for in my experience it is on« of the best tonic and red blood builders known to medical science.” If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary Nux ated Iron three times per day for two weeks, then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. Manufacturers’ Note: Nuxated Iron, which Is recommended above, is not a secret remedy but one which Is well known to druggists everywhere. Un like the older inorganic Iron products It Is easily assimilated and does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach. Each tablet of genuine Nuxated Iron Is stamped as follows jr and the words Nuxated Iron are stamped into raj each bottle, so that the public may not be led -T Into accepting Inferior substitutes. The manufac turers guarantee successful and entirely satisfac tory results to erery purchaser or they will refund your money. It la dispensed by all good druggists. “DANDERINE” , J Stops Hair Coming Outs Doubles Its Beauty- A few cents buys After an application of "Danderlne" you can not find a fallen hair or any dandruff, besides every hair shows new life, vigor, brightness, more color and thickness.—(Advt.) 30 Days Home Trial and Two Years Time to Pay if you don't want to pay cash.
