There is nothing SO destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of its luster, its strength and its very

LAMB MADE ALL THE TROUBLE
BY Comparison, the Lion Was Inoffen'
sive and Mild-"Butts Like
Batterine RAM"

The tidings that lamb is appearing
on the stage in the production Of
Joseph and His Brethren has been
noised far and wide. Several CORE
spondents have written to ask why a
lion should not also appear, the pair
lying side by side. But that has al
ready been done, by Lord George
Stanger, and thereby hangs tale.
When the sale of the old showman's
menagerie took place, the two animals
were put together and bought by Mr..
Fred emmett, of Dick Turpin fame.
By this time the lamb had got pretty
long in the tooth, to say the least OF
1t. A few days afterwards an &C.
Quaintance asked Mr.. emmett how the
happy pair were getting on.
Il wish had never seen them
said the Snowman gloomily.
Why, is he savage?"
Savage is not the word for it. He
won't let anyone come near him"
Indeed! | thought he looked such
mild old lion"
Lion? Lion be blowed! It's the
lamb l mean. He butts like batter

DISAGREE DISAGREE On On
FUTURES BILL
FIGHT WILL BE TAKEN TO FL0OI
OF BOTH HOUSES.
STRONG COMPROMISE MOVE
Contracts for Delivery to Specify Gov
eminent Grades and Difference to
Be Paid at Regular Mar
ket Price.

Washington.-The tariff bill conferees
eame to final disagreement over the
proposed tax on trades in cotton futures
1t was found impossible to agree either
on the Clarke amendment adopted by
the senate or the compromise known as
the Smith-Lever-Burleson plan. After
a conference at the White House, par
ticipated in by President Wilson, Sen.
ator Simmons and Representative In
derwood and long debate IN the ton
ference, it was decided to report DIS.
agreement to both houses of congress.
The conference report on the rest of
the tariff bill will be completely har-
monious when the measure gets back
to the senate and house. 1t will he ac-
companied by a report that no agree
ment could be reached on the so-called
Clarke amendment, imposing a tax Of
so cents per bale on cotton sold 70. FIJI
ture delivery but not delivered.
IT was predicted that a strong move
ment in behalf of the compromise plan
that has received general Endorsement
from southern senators and represcn'
tives would be started as soon as b.
disagreement is reported.
The compromise would compel all con-
tracts for future cotton delivery to spe-
city government grades and would com
pei deliveries of cotton to be at that
grade or close to it, the difference to be
settled at the prevailing commercial
prices.
The plan, modelled on the bill of Sen.
ator Smith of South Carolina and per-
fected by Postmaster-General Burleson,
Representative Lever, Senator Hoke
Smith and others, has the strong sup
port of several of the house conferees.
THE senate conferecs could not con-
slider any modification of the Clarke
amendment" said Senator Simmons.
"The senate had not only adopted it,
but had reaffirmed its support of the
provision when it was referred back to
caucus"
As result of the conference with
President Wilson, the committee also
settled finally today the foreign policies
involved in the tariff bill.
