Also, try this—moisten cloth with a little Danderine and carc fully draw it through your hair, tak- ing ome small strand at a time. This will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or exoessive oll, and in just a few mo- ments you have doubled the beauty of woor hair. A delightful surprise awaits those whose hair has been peglected or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or thin.

Then it was discovered that the woodchuck knew about this place, for he went straight to it; and he had calculated the time right to get what he went after, if he could not figure it out in the same way a smart boy or girl could. There is an old saying that “actions speak louder than werds,” and you can sce how they spoke for this little fel- low’s brightness and ability to keep o him, and of which man until this time knew nothing.
