That is Guaranteed to Make Women's Hair Lustrous and Beautiful, or

Women of culture want a perfect hair dressing; one that is delicately scented and that will make the head feel better the minute it is put on. They want a dressing that is not sticky or greasy.
 And above all, they want a dressing that will make the hair lustrous and fascinating; that will kill the dandruff germs and banish dandruff, and that will stop falling hair and itching scalp.

SHIPS TO BACK DECLARATION.
Cruiser Albany and Gunboat Yorktown
Ordered to Nicaragua.


The first step of the United States
made by Secretary Knox regarding the
Nicaraguan situation was taken today
when the secretary of the navy sent
urgent orders to the cruiser Albany
and gunboat Yorktown, two America
warships now at Magdalena bay, Low
er California, to proceed forthwith to
Corinto, the Pacific coast port of Mic
argua, nearest to the capital of thai
country.
Plan One of Preparedness.
Having broken off diplomatic rela-
tions with Nicaragua it is understood
to be the governments present pur-
pose to maintain position Of watch
fulness and preparedness, for any
eventuality, and 1T is not believed that
it is the intention of the authorities to
land marines on Nicaraguan soil, or
make any other warlilSe demonstration
against that country, for the present at
least, unless some hostile act on the
part of the Zelaya government directed
against Americans or American inter-
ests should make that step necessary.
May Seize Corinto.
The troop ship Prairie will sail from
Philadelphia this afternoon with ap-
pTo1iriate!y 200 marines aboard, des-
tined for Colon. The Buffalo, now at
Panama, can sail for Corinto at an
hours notice, and other warships along
both coasts could land marines or blue
Jackets within a few hours. Thus the
government is in position to seize
Corinto or to take other offensive ac-
tion should the situation seem TO war;
rant, and should such a step be found
necessary. 1t will be prompt and de-
cisive.
