GIRLS! GROW THICK
LONG, HEAVY HAIR
WITH "DANDERINE"
Buy a 35-cent bottle
of "Danderine." One
application ends all
dandruff, stops itching
and falling liair, and, in
a few moments, you
have doubled the beauty
of your hair. It will ap-
pear a mass, so soft,
lustrous, and easy to
do up. But what will
please you most will be
after a few weeks use,
when you see new hair
—fine and downy at
first—yes—but really new hair grow-
ing 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 strengthens them. This delight-
ful, stimulating tonic helps thin, life-
less, faded hair to grow long, thick,
heavy and luxuriant.—Advertisement.

Important to all Women
Readers of this Paper
Thousands upon thousands of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer in the back, head-
ache ahd loss of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irrita-
]blg and may be despondent; it makes any
one so.
But hundreds of women claim that Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring
health to the kidneys, proved to be just
the remedy needed to overcome such
conditions.
Many send for a sample bottle to see what
Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder medicine, will do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,
Binghamton, N. Y., you may receive sam-
ple size bottle by Parcel Post. You can
purchase medium and large size bottles at

National Committeemen Confer 01?
Plans for Unseating Chairman
White.
Washington.—The Democratic Na-
tional Committee is about to meet and
map war plans for its first concerted
attack on the Republican administra-
tion. At the same time it will at-
tempt to terminate its own civil strife,
growing around the desire of certain
elements in the party for a complete
reorganization, including the supplant-
ing of Chairman George White with a
new chairman.
White's friends declare he has no
intention of resigning. At the same
time his opponents indicate they are
going to make a strong effort to un-
seat 'him. At a conference here Mon-
day among national committeemen
Thomas B. Love, Daniel Roper, Rob-
erty Wooley and others, a program for
seeking to elect Roper chairman to
succeed White was considered.
White has issued a formal call for
the committee to assemble in St.
Louis Nov. 1. The purposes of the
meeting, he announced, ' were "to re-
ceive a report of the work of the
■chairman, to discuss party policy and
to adopt plans for further operations."
Beyond this statement White does not
at this time care to discuss the party
situation further.
For some time, however, it has been
admitted by friends of White that he
has resisted repeated demands from
elements within the committee for a
national conference on the grounds
that he himself had not made up his
mind whether to retain the chairman-
ship and that were he to resign no
one had agreed upon a candidate to
take his place. The fact that the call
is now out indicates that so far as
White is concerned he is ready for
the battle.
Among candidates mentioned as a
successor to White have been Roper,
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
during the Wilson administration and
a strong supporter of William Gibbs
McAdoo; former Representative Scott
Ferris of Oklahoma, former Secretary
Joseph P. Tumulty and others.
Friends of White have contended
steadily that he could retain the chair-
manship if he wished. It remains to
be seen whether the opposition ele-
ment, including such leaders as Love,
Senator Glass and others, will take up
the issue.
SHIPS COLLIDE AT SEA;
SIXTEEN ARE IISSIK
THREE STEAMERS FIGURE !N
ACCIDENT OFF COAST
OF SCOTLAND
Belfast.—Damaged by one vessel in
A dense fog off the southwest coast
of Scotland and then sunk by another
coming to its aid was the fate early
Sunday morning of the Laird Line
steamer Rowan, plying between Glas-
gow and Dublin. Thirteen of the Ro-
wan's crew and three passengers are
missing. Two passengers died after
being rescued by vessels which re-
sponded to the wireless S. O. S. call.
An official statement says that the
Rowan carried 93 persons, including
the crew, 77 of whom are accounted
for by the four vessels which went to
the Rowan's assistance.
Aboard the Rowan was the Ameri-
can Southern Syncopated Orchestra,
composed largely of colored players,
who had been touring this side of the
water since 1919.
One of the men died after being
taken out of the seas was Pet Robin-
son, the drummer of the orchestra.
The accident was due to a double
collision in the north channel off
Corsewall Point. The Rowan first col-
lided with the American steamer,
West Camak, both of them being dam-
aged. The West Camak stood by with
her forepeak full of water, meanwhile
sending out wireless calls for aid. The
Clan liner, Clan Malcolm, responded
but in the confusion due to the heavy
fog ran into the disabled Rowan,
which sank immediately.
The West Camak helped in the res-

FAILS TO GET NEGRO
MEN RUSH TO DALLAS IN AUTO*
MOBILES BUT PLAN FAILS.
OFFICERS ON JOB.
Dallas.—David Bunn, negro, indict-
ed for the sensational robbery of a
camping party at Lake Worth and for
attempted criminal assault, remains in
the Dallas County jail after two un-
successful attempts on the part of
Fort Worth mobs to remove and lynch
him. Rumors that a third party was
forming at Fort Worth Friday, bent
on taking the negro from the Dallas
county jail were discounted by depu-
ties of Sheriff Dan Harston.
Sheriff Dan Harston broke the spirit
of a crowd of fifty men who attempt-
ed to storm the jail at Dallas at 2:2-5
Friday morning when he stood alone
on the criminal courthouse steps and
said coolly: "There's nothing doing.
The negro will appear for trial when
his case is called in Fort Worth Oct.
14."
The crowd, chiefly made up of
young men, many of whom wore ex-
service buttons seemed to lack leader-
ship and organization and was com-
pleter broken up when Sheriff Hars-
ton refused to admit a searching party
and when a committee of six looked
.upon a machine gun which the Sheriff
keeps in liis office for safe-keeping.
The crowd was orderly, did not in-
dulge in loud talk and displayed no
firearms. They remained in Dallas
for some time, apparently waiting "re-
enforcements," which they expected
from Fort Worth. Additional men,
however, failed to come, and the

"For the past two years I have been troubled with systemic catarrh I used several boxes of

ANTI TRUST SUIT WON
BY STATE OF MISSISSIPPI
Jackson, Miss.—Complte victory
ftras won by the State Revenue Agent
over the 139 fire insurance company
defendants in the anti-trust suit, in a
decision by Chancellor V. J. Striker,
who ruled that the Mississippi Inspec-
tion and Advisory Rating Bureau was
merely the old Southwestern Tariff
Association, barred from the State
l£ years ago, in disguise.
The decision held the bureau fixed
and enforced fire insurance rates in
■Mississippi and that the defendant
companies were responsible for the
•bureau. The Chancellor, however, as-
serted the insurance agents were
"merely victims of circumstances."
Penalties aggregating nearly $13,-
'000.000 were imposed by the Chancel-
lor against the defendant companies.
The Chancellor imposed the mini-
•mum penalties of $200 per day, x>rovid-
>ed by the satute that was in effect
from 1908 to 1910, and a fine of $25
[per day from 1910 up to the time the
[companies withdrew from business in
this state during the early part of the
current year.
Sergeant W. D. Williams warned a
number of them that they would be
arrested and placed in the city jail if
they didn't get off the city streets.
"I agree with you that the negro
should be punished and he will be,"
Sergeant Williams said when he call-
ed a number of the men to his auto-
mobile, "but there will be no lynching
in this city."
The negro was taken before the
grand jury at Fort Worth and indict-
ed Thursday afternoon. About 7
o'clock Thursday night he was r»
moved to the Dallas County jail.

MAN IS KILLED MONDAY
BY INTERURBAN CAR
Dallas.—C. R. Hare, Oak Cliff paint-
ing contractor, was struck and instant-
ly killed by a westbound Fort Worth
Interurban car Monday afternoon
within one block of his home.
It is declared he was crossing Jef-
ferson street, reading a pamphlet
which had just been handed him, and
did not see or hear the approaching
car. The motorman says he gave
three shrill blasts on the emergency
whistle.
The body was dragged about 150
feet along the street and thrown
against the curb.
The man's watch was found still
running and apparently not damaged
and his eyeglasses were not broken
JUDGE LINDSEY AFTER
THOSE HIGHER UP
Denver, Colo.—Declaring that "it
would be unjust to punish a lesser
jOffender against the bootleg laws while
wealthy social leaders of Capitol Hill
sare allowed to have their wine cellars
without fear of molestation," Judge
Ben B. Lindsey of the Juvenile Court
Saturday freed Chester Lasater and
Clete Hinton, accused of giving young
girls liquor to drink. In a statement
read in open court Judge Lindsey
charged that "a conspiracy exists
among the rich to have the laws en-
forced only against the poor."
"If we are to have jail sentences,"
naid Judge Lindsey, "I would recom-
mend that the prominent men involv-
ed in the delivery of thousands of dol-
lars' worth of first-class booze—free
of the poisons that are in the booze
of the poor and are punishment
enough—be followed, prosecuted and
sent to jail."
NURSE AT JUVENILE
SCHOOL PUT ON STAND
Gatesvillft, Texas—Mrs. Rose Grady,
hospital nurse at the State Training
School, occupied the stand Friday in
the investigation of the institution,
now being held in this city. After
having related the circumstances
when the body of Dell Thames was
brought to the hospital, she said that
she told Mr. King "I knew the boy
had been choked to death. King told
me I did not know anything but hear-
say and said, 'the least you hear the
better off you will be.' I think he
meant that he wanted it investigated."
Mrs. Grady also said that she had
to treat many boys for sore shins,
caused mostly by Mr. Twyman's cap-
tains kicking them while drilling or
standing in line.
"The boys complained that Mr!
Twyman kicked them on their shins.
I reported this matter to Mr. King and
Dr. Bailey at the time it occurred.
Mr. Twyman had been there only a
short time. I have reported it several
times."
Witness said she was now treating
five or six boys with real sore shins
and that during last year the average
or sore shins was something like it is
now. She said she discussed the mat-
ter with Mr. King and supposed thai
he looked after it.

SUNSHADES FOR LUCKY DOGS
DALLAS IS SCENE OF
GREAT FAIR GATHERING
Innovation That Was Brought About
by the Protracted Spell of Un-
usually Hot Weather.
One of the quaintest innovations of
the recent heat wave in London was
the introduction of sunshades for
dogs. These consisted of light crepe-
de-chine protections suspended over
the animals' necks by light wire
strands.
The "lucky" animals whose masters
or mistresses bought the sunshades
did not seem so pleased with them as
perhaps the donors had hoped, re-
marked London Answers. ■
One dOg found the heat so oppres-
sive that he sought the shelter of a j
railway tunnel on the Highbury tube.
Here he was, however, so frightened
by the continual .passing of trains
that he shrank into a dark corner and
remained there for two days, undl
his master, on the information of a
railway man, fetched him.
Although sunshades for dogs made
their first appearance, there was a
strange absence of the straw hats
that horses used to wear before the
war. Have horses been so hardened
by the great campaign that they do
not need the consideration that dogs
get.?

Sewing Wood.
There has appeared in this country
recently a special plywood material
for aircraft construction.
This new material must not be con-
fused with ordinary, plywood, which Is
glued together. It is claimed to be a
super-plywood, and is actually sewn
together!
First, the layers are cemented to-
gether with waterproof material, and'
then stitched through in parallel rows
about one and a quarter inches apart.
This gives a rigidity and resilience not
to be attained by any other method.
Weight for weight, it is the strongest
material yet invented. It is made ir*
sheets of any size or shape up to eight
feet wide by 60 feet long and from-
one-eighth of an inch to five-eighths of
an inch thick, thus doing away with
waste in the conversion.—London Tit-

15 per cent more exhibitors than at
any previous Fair; the amusement
features are more elaborate and more
complete; the grounds are better
equipped to care for the public's every

Do You Look Forward To a
Good Night's Rest?
Do you regularly antici-
pate a refreshing sleep?
Or do you dread going to
bed, only to stare, sleep-
less, at the walls? The
difference between sleep-
ing and staring is simply
a matter of nerves.
When your nervous
system is in a sound con-
dition, you are certain to
sleep well. But when
your nerves are worn out
and beyond your control,
your rest is broken and
your awakening leaves
you languid and irritable.
Doctors know that
much of the nerve dis-
orders result from tea
and coffee drinking. The
drugs in these drinks
over-stimulate,oftencaus-
ing the serious ills which
result from disturbing the
regular bodily functions. It
is for your health's sake
that many doctors now
say you should quit tea
and coffee. Drink Postum,
the delicious meal-time
beverage instead! In fla-
vor it is much like coffee.
Postum is fundamen-
tally a nerve strengthener
because it lets you get
sound, restful sleep.
Postum is a skilfully-made
cereal beverage, and the
secret of its popularity is
its protection to health
and its delicious flavor.
Ask your grocer for
Postum. Drink this hot,
refreshing beverage in
place of tea or coffee for
10 days and see what a
wonderful difference it
will make in the way you
feel.
Postum comes in two
forms: Instant Postum (in tins)
made instantly in the cup by
the addition of boiling water.
Postum Cereal (in packages of
larger bulk, for those who pre-
fer to make the drink while tha
meal is being prepared) mad*
