derful migration which won the west
for America There are, however, two
striking differences. The first is that
the pioneering is comparatively luxu.
rious compared to the American move

ing swept aside are being absorbed
by intermarriage with the settlers. The
ten-day joruney up the Irish river

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Glossy, Fluffy, BeautlfuI-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation of Danderine you cannot find q
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, 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-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect Is amaz-
ing--your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance OF
abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get rs cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that 1t has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all--you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it If you will just try a lit
tie Danderine. ADV.

have contributed to the recent growth
of some German cities. The majority,
however, machine-made as other fac
tory products, are the results of an
industrialism which tends everywhere
to urbanization. Examples of the old
Germany may yet be seen in the an
cient quarters of Munich, Nuremberg,
Frankfort and other towns, but for
these one may look in vain along the
boulevards and in the modern sections
of cities which have grown to great
ness In the present generation. These
are the cities of the new Germany.

outwardly Attractive.
There are two sides to the German
city--the outside and the inside. The
outside Is ordinarily beautiful and
attractive. The boulevards are broad
and airy; the open places are many
and artistic; the streets are we'll
paved and are clean-usually by wom-
en- sweepers: the lighting, excellent;
the sanitation, good; cathedrals are
stately, and the older ones, at least,
picturesque; the newer public build

sands. Each class has, however, the
same voting strength. This gives, of
course, to the heavy taxpayers many
times the voting strength of the small
taxpayer.
A Berlin newspaper, in pointing out
some results of this three-class sys-
TEN, showed that in one voting dis
trict one taxpayer with an annual in
come of $4,000 was the entire first
class; in an adjoining and very poor
district ten men, whose taxes were
only $25 each, constituted the first
class, and added that If the Berliner
with the $4,000 income had voted in
the rich Thiergarten quarter he
would have been in the third class,
like the imperial chancellor, Herr Won
Bethmann Hollweg" Actually there
are 100000 voters in the first class,
100000 in the second, and more than
100000 in the third. If the suffrage
system of Prussia prevailed in the
United States, Andrew Carnegie, John
d. Rockefeller and others would in
their respective districts, constitute
the entire first class.
Councillors Hlsh-class Men.
Whatever criticism may be made
of this electoral system from other
viewpoints, it has resulted, generally,
in electing to the position of town
councillors high-class and public-spir-
tied men. This evil has attached to it,
however, that the men thus chosen
have reflected too often and too ex-
clusively the wishes and interests of
their rich constituents. The new Ger
man city as made or permitted by
them--if anything is really officially
permitted in Germary-is too largely
an aristocratic municipality rather
than democratic community, for
show to the few rather than for use
by the many.
Public service giving, as it does
in Germany, coveted social position,
attracts many Germans of the highest
character The call to civic duty is
one which no German refuses. The
law which Furnishes with fine any
person declining to accept the office
of councillor after election is said to

man city. Beyond flower pots In the
windows, let US glance at the German
city on the inside.
The German city does not govern
itself--it is governed. True 1t elects
it's own town council, which, In turn,
selects the burgomaster or mayor, and
has general control of municipal af-
fairs. The electors, however, are d.
vided into voting groups, according
to wealth, by which the man of aver
age property has only small part In
the election. Somewhat different suf-
frage systems exist in the different
German states. Indeed, 1t should be
remembered In observations upon Ger
many that not only is there an old and
a new Germany, but northern and
a southern Germany, Prussia, Ba-
varia, a Saxony, a Baden and In the
differences between them, though not
the distances, are equally as large as
and In many ways larger than those
between Pennsylvania and Texas,
Massachusetts and California. Ger

differences of social and administra-
ton life, has been called, with much
appropriateness. a magnified Prussia.
Voting Strength Gagged by Wealth.
The method of electing town coun-
cillors in the cities of Prussia may
serve as an illustration of how the
people of these cities do not govern
themselves. In each voting district
the total of the state tax paid Is d.
vided into three parts and the voters,
all males of twenty-five years of age
and upwards, are also divided into
three classes, each class eiecting one
third of the council. The first class
consists of the heaviest taxpayers,
whose payments total one-third of the
whole sum of the district; the second
class consists of the next heaviest tax
payers, whose taxes also amount to a
third of the total; while the third
class consists of the smallest taxpay-
ers. The first class sometimes has
only one or two voters in it, the sec
ond only a few, while the third will
have several hundred or even thou

Peoples Food Carefully Supervised.
The German lives much in the
open air. We find the gardens in the
modern cities, even in weather that
seems unreasonable, thronged. There
is much drinking of beer, but little
intoxication, much festivity, but little
boisterousness. The German is care
full though comprehensive In his eat
ing. The German city provides mu-
nicipal slaughter houses, where meat
is prepared for sale under strict regu.
lation against faint; open air and
covered market halls, where fresh veg
etables, fish, poultry and other food
products are sold; and has ceaseless
supervision of bakeries, dairies and
breweries. In Berlin and some other
cities the meat from the slaughter
house Is stamped, "unbednigt tang
lich'-free of all possible faint. The
city arranges for the sale of other
meat, not thus free from faint, but
which can be used for food without
danger to health, at municipal estab-
lishments called the Fret Banke,"
where it is bought at low prices end
at certain fixed hours by the poor

land and thus controls the growth and
development of the city itself. This

responsible for much of the best re.

BIRDS SHOW SKILL

Baltimore Orioles Nest is Constructed
Like Pouch and Hung From

periority In Construction.

Baltimore.-True it Is that many oil
those birds which went away for the
winter vacation have not yet thought
OF returning to their summer homes.
But some of them have, for some come
back early, and they always like to
take ticket that permits several stop
overs and side trips by the way.
It's safe to say that young Miss Rob
in and Miss Bluebird feel little nerv.
GUS these days when they think OF
those nests to be built back in the land
to the north. OF course, it's different
with the older ones, for their homes
may have withstood the winter; and
then if they do have to build why they
are old hands at the business. Very
likely the bird misses wish they had
given more attention to the construc-
tion of the nest when they were fiedg-
lings. But it's one of young birds
failings and blessing to men that ap-
petite is about the biggest thing in its
world. Eating about fifty times a day
as it does, there isn't much time to
notice how its home is made. Then
when they get big enough to leave the
nest there are so many gay and happy
events that more serious thoughts are
dismissed for the time.
Some observers Of birds have placed
different colored ribbons at the foot OF
the trees where orioles were building
their nest. The orioles accepted the
ribbon with silent thanks and wove
the colors together not aimlessly, but
after a definite plan. A naturalist tells
of showing such nest to an elderly
woman, who seriously suggested using
the bird to knit stockings.
