TAKES OFF DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try This! Makes Hair Thick,
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautifui-No
More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
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 Inoisten 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 a 25 cent bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it 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 lit
tie Danderine Adv.

Baked Bean Luncheon.

For the woman who wishes to en-
terrain at a small cost. such lunch
con would be charming. Crepe paper
napkins with wreath Of tiny yellow
flowers should be laid on polished
table for centerpiece and plate doll
les, and in the center Of the table
there should be placed a glass bowl
hlled with small yellow flowers. and
each place favor should be a larger
yellow flower. The quaint brown bean
pot may grace one corner of the table
and diagonally across from that may
be plate Of old fashioned ginger
bread. On another corner place sand
wiches OF thin slices of brown and
white bread laid together. while the
fourth corner may hold hot Boston
brown bread. Sailed peanuts and tiny
,cucumber pickles will keep within the
color scheme and sliced bananas with
whipped cream for dessert make
good ending to brown and yellow
luncheon.

Diplomatic Reasoning That Should
Have Treasured the Ambassador
in Dilemma.

At the death of the duke of yelling
ton the whole diplomatic corps in
London was invited to the funeral at
st. Paul's. The French ambassador,
on receiving his invitation, was very
much upset. He hurried off to his
colleague of Russia, Baron Brunow,
and confded to him the difficulty in
which he was placed.
1.-THE queen" he said, expects US to
go to St Paul's to the funeral of the
duke of Wellington. How can l go,
considering the injuries which the
duke inflicted on my country? What

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat II Your Kidneys Aren't
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers You.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be-
come sort Of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full Of sediment, channels Oft
en- get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good, reliable phys1-
clan at once or get from your pharma-
take a tablespoonful In a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so 1t no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts Is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.-Adv. \

a Doctors First
Question Is
''Hotv are Your BoWels?" A Sim.
pie Remedy that Guarantees
Good Bowel Action.

Trace the origin of the commoner
ills of life and almost invariably you
will find that constipation was the
cause. 1t is not to be expected that a
mass of fermented food can remain in
the system beyond its time without vi
tiating the blood and affecting the
nerves and muscles. 1t congests the
entire body.
The results are colds, fevers, piles,
headaches, and nervousness, with its
accompanying indigestion and sleep
lessness. There is only one thing to
do, and that is to remove the trouble;
and when nature seems unable to do
it, outside aid is necessary. You will
find the best Of all outside aids rem
edy that many thousands are now u.s.
ing for this very purpose, called DR..
Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Many hun
dreds of letters are received by DR..
Caldwell telling of the good results
obtained, and among the enthusiastic
letters is one from Lieut.. G. W.
Vaughan, of 623 w North St., Decatur.

and stomach since he came out of the

The Times has always been d staunch believer in the United States attending to its own internal affairs irrespective of the views entertained |. foreign nations.
 In the case of the Panama canal tells controversy, however, it is in- clined to believe that the position ad' verse to free tolls assumed by Presi- dent Wilson is correct.
 There are various angles to the sub- j,ct and viewd from almost any one of them. the chief executive assumes sound position when he opposes dis ] crimination in favor of American ship ping.
 In the first place, there is little 1oubt that free tolls would be quas- t!onable under the favored nation provisions of American treaties with the principal world government and would inevitably lead to protests and possibly, to ill-feellng.
 England is undoubtedly the spokes- man for Europe in this matter and should it's protest be disregarded, other major governments might be expected to interpose vigorous objections.
 Again. so long as American ships go through the canal under the same conditions as those of other nations. these latter have absolutely no reas )n whatever to protest.
 It is within the range of possibilities. however that discrimination would develop condition where arbitration would he imperative to avert moro serious possibilities and such arbitra- tiOn might open the canal to the ve,. sels of the entire world duty free
 Far better than this that American ships should pay duty. which is afte- all, only shifting American money from enc pocket to another, and thus com pei all foreign vessels to contribute to the support of the great waterway.
 The suggestion of the president is most commendable attempt to solv e the problem. He contemplates doing that which has to he done in a quiet and businesslike way though meth cd that will assure steady revenues fol the canal at the same time thot the United States is not called upon to penalize itself unduly-Seattle Times.

The income tax statements are now in and the litigation may be expected to commence shortly. There is a fair probability that, when the matter gets into the courts, the decision may he against the power of congress to i'm e pose taxes on any income for any DOT ton of the year 1913 prior to the pass age of the act itself
 The constitutional amendment which authorized congress to impose income taxes went into effect on February 25, 1918. The tariff law imposing the in- come tax was signed by the president and became effective on October ,, 1913 Yet that law undertook to i'm. pose a tax upon all incomes for ten months of 1913. commencing with March 1.
 The constitution denies to congress the right to levy any direct taxes 0n the states, save on the basis of popu- lation. The income tax amendment enlarges the powers of congress fin this respect, but only to the extent that 1t allows taxes to be levied upon incomes" That right however. was not exercised until October 3. At tha, time congress still had no right to i'm post any direct tax on anything save incomes"
 The argument against the right of congress to levy upon incomes" re . ceived prior to the passage of the law is simple and appears fairly con- elusive After the income had been received it ceased to be an income. It was direct property. In fact, the prob abilities are that in most cases the income for the first ten months of 1913 had not only been received but actually spent. Probably some of it had been invested. An income tax is a tax upon an active transaction. A property tax is a tax upon a static condition No income tax can oper- ate upon a static condition which ex- isted before it's enactment. Such a tax is a tax upon property, not upon income. Congress has no right to levy property tax.
 This is the argument, for what it is worth. Should the courts sustain it's validity, the revenues of the fede:- al government will be reduced and a serious deficit will be created. because reliance has been placed upon the in- come tax for 1913 to furnish a large revenue.-P.-I.

The Manchester Guardian think! that too much Is said in appreciation Of Lord Strathcona's services to Can ada as the chief promoter of the q P. R., and too little about the eno: nous reward which he got from Can. ada for that service.
 The Hamilton Herald says there may be something in this criticism It goes on:
 Tt is true that the c. P. R. made Lord Strathcona a multi millionaire and that Canada had to pay a high price for her first transcontinental railways. But it should be considered also that the men who undertook tc tuild the road for the reward offerc5 were men regarded at the time by mos: people as half-cracked visionaries wh; were sure to go bankrupt. Strathcona and his associates greatly won because they greatly dared.'
 It should be borne in mind. how ever that the people of Canada also greatly dared" and put into the en terprise s2.0o0.ooO in cash ls2s.ooo, ,V9t worth of completed railway and 25.- C00.OO0 acres of land, on which a hun dred million dollars have already been realized. All this was done when Can ada was 0 small. poor and compara- lively unknown country.
 Lord strathcona is entitled to cred. it for his courage exaggerated Ii: tie and gave little or no credi to Canada. which gave more and risked more than anybody else to make the Canadian Pacific railway a success. The railway was built, not only for
