MAKES DANDRUFF
QUICKLY VANISH

No one likes dandruif, but to get
rid of it you must do more than wash
your hair. The cause of dandruff
lies not in the hair, but on the scalp
and in the hair roots, and just as
twice daily you use a germicidal
tooth powder or cream to cleanse
your teeth of germs, so you should
use Parisian Sage twice daily to
drive dandruff from your scalp, pre-
vent its return, protect your hair
from falling out and nurish its prop
er growth. Dandruff makes your
hair fall out. Partisan Sage makes
Dandruff fall out and your hair stay
in.
A delightfully."- perfumed hair and
scalp treatment easily applied at

COOKED FEED FOR THE HOGS
Practice Has Been Largely Abandoned
Because Dieestibillty Has Been Re-
duced-Potato Is Exception.

by q. r. SAMPSON, Oregon Agricultur
al College)
Cooking feed for swine has beef
largely abandoned. since the digesti'
bility Of most feeds is diminished by
cooking. The potato seems to be an
exception to this rule. When cheap
enough to be fed to pigs, potatoes will
stand the expense of cooking and pay
a profit II installing equipment does
not make too large proportion of the
feed cost. At the present time one
hardly seems justified in installing an
extensive cooker for potatoes since
ordinarily potatoes are more valuable
for human than for pig feed Other
cTops also usually furnish more nu
trients at less cost per acre than pc.
tatoes. Steaming is more desirable
than boiling potatoes, since the pur
nose of cooking is to decrease the wa
ter content and burst the starch cells
r. potatoes are boiled the water
should be drawn off and the potatoes
left over the fire long enough to give
them a dry and mealy appearances,
when they split open.

YUKON RIVER LITTLE KNOWN
Average American Unfamiliar With
the Characteristics of the Great
Alaskan Waterway.

The Yukon means SO much as wa
| terway to Alaska that report by the
United States geological survey on its
| discharge at Eagle and on some of the
| great rivers characteristics have espe-
ciaI interest The Yukon is the fifth
river in size in North America 1t
drains an area of 100000 square miles
and its length, including the Lewes
and reslin rivers, is 2,700 miles. The
Observation-Disclosures rivers are 5000
miles long; the Mackenzie, 2,S6S; Col
orado-Green, 1000, and Ohio-Allegheny.
1900
The discharge of the Yukon varies
from a maximum of 254,000 cubic feet
a second to 10,1O0 cubic feet, average
Of 1920. This discharge is relatively
small compared with the average flow
of the Mississippi, $4,000; Ohio, 300..
900, and Colorado, $4,000 The Nile,
with drainage area of 100000
square miles has an average flow of
10000 cubic feet a second.
The comparatively small flow in re-
lation to its drainage area is attrib-
uted to the fact that the interior of
Alaska has the small rainfall charac-
teristic of that portion of the United
States that lies between the Rocky
mountains and the Sierra Nevada
north of the latitude of Salt Lake
City.
The Yukon means so much to
Alaska and the territory means so
much to the United States in gold
production and in other latent mineral
and other development that the lack
OF general knowledge regarding its
characteristic must be surprising to

IS WORLDS RAREST PLANT
This Is the silversword, Which Grows
In Profusion on Hawaiian
Volcano Slopes.

The rarest plant in the world grows
In Hawaii, fact which is unknown to
all but very few of the thousands of
tourists annually visiting the paradise
Of the Pacific. 1t Is the silversword.
Its very name Is odd and unusual, at
once arousing the curiosity and the in
terest of the stranger who chances to
hear 1t. 1t Is a cactuslike growth, the
long, silky, gray leaves of which give 1t
its peculiar name. The reason for Its
rarity is that it is found only on the
most inaccessible slopes of the vol,
canoes of this group Of islands.
From the earliest times it has been
appreciated and greatly admired by
the native Hawaiians, who called 1t
"ahinahina" (gray-hcaded), because
they had never, before the coming of
the white man, seen silver, and there
fore could not apply to the plant the
cognomen which so we'll describes 1t.
All who have found it prize it more
jealousy than do Alpine climbers
treasure the edelweiss; it is far more
beautiful thing and more difficult to
obtain than the famous flower of Swift
zerland.

bv the Youngest girl III the school. and
upon il was placed an oak log, part oil
which was to be preserved to light the
fires ON future Founders Days. The
6reside circle with its inspiration OF
bomeliuess aud warmth and cheer is a
vital part of the life of the school.
The principal gave short account OF
the events which has lead to the found
ing of the school, closing her remarks
with a vivid picture of St. Hilda and
her maideus at the ancient Whitby,
WHOSE life and work we're being perpet-
mated on this side of the Atlantic. An
account of the life of the Abbess was

with a few words of hearty encourage
