To Prevent Old Age
Coming too Soon!
Toxic poisons In the blood are
thrown out by the kidneys. The kid
neys act as Alters for such products.
If we wish to prevent old age coming
too soon and increase our chances
for a long life, we should drink
plenty of pure water and take a little
Anurlc," says the world-famed Dr.
Pieroo of Buffalo, N. Y.
When suffering from backaclte
frequent or scanty urine, rheumatic
pains here or there, or that constant
tired, worn-out feeling, the simple
way to overcome these disorders is
merely to obtain a little Anuric
(double strength) from your nearest
druggist and you will quleklv notice
the grand results. You will find it
many times more potent than lithia,
and that it dissolves uric acid almost
as hot water does sugar.

NOT A PARTICLE
OF DANDRUFF OR
A FALLING HAIR
Save your hair! Double its
beauty in just a
few moments.
"Danderine" makes your hair
thick, glossy, wavy and
beautiful.
Within ten minutes after an ap
plication of Danderine you can riot
find a single trace of dandruff or
falling hair and your scalp will not
Itch, but what will pieaso you most
will be after a few weeks" use, when
you see new hair, lino and downy
at first—yes —but really new hair —
growing all over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what
fresh showers of rain and sunshine
are to vegetation. It goes right to
the roots, invigorates and strength
ens them. Its exhilarating, stimu
lating and life-producing properties
cause the hair to grow long, strong
and beautiful.
A little Danderine immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle
and scraggy, just moisten a cloth
with Danderine and carefully draw
It through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. The effect
is amazing—your hair will be light,
fluffy and wavy, and have an ap
pearance of abundance; an incom
parable lustre, softness and luxuri
ance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderino from any drug store or
toilet counter, for u. few cents, and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
boft as any—that It has been neglect
ed or injured by careless treatment
—that's all—you surely can have
beautiful hair and lots of it If you
will just try a little Danderlne.
Car of Soft Coal Helps

forts on the part of people residing
here to have several cars of coal in
the railroad yards released to aid
the situation in Enola have failed
It is the expectation of Mr. Mum
per that by the government ruling
the coal shortage will be greatlv re
lieved here.

township, of which Enola is a part
have a limited supply of fuel in their
Kinter stated last night
