WARPLAY vogue
Thing OF PAST
INBERLN NOW
lBy Associated Press.1

BERLIN, Germany.-Berlin's sec,
ond theatrical season since the war
has begun-and is notable for its lack
Of warlike offerings. In all the mass
Of plays and operas now presented or
to be presented in the immediate fu.
ture there are but two Of a military
nature. And both Of these have been
running for months and are continu'
ing because they have genuine dra
matte value, rather than because the
public fancy clamors for anything war
like. ''' g..
Old.timers call this beginning of
Berlin's theatrical season so nearly
like the opening in peace times that It
Is hard to distinguish the difference.
They base this opinion not alone on
the attendance,'k which certainly is
good, but on the very. character OF the
offerings and the absence of plays
suggestive of the war.
The season In 1914 opened with a
tidal wave ofbptwar" plays. Some
thing of the general character and
excellence may be- gathered from the
words of one of BerliIfs well known
dramatic critics, who wrote, This
flood of wellr;' meant and poorly
rhymed, hastily thrown together pro-
auctions fortunately has ebbed. and
the temples off the joyful muse even.

.DANDRUFF GOES!
HAIR GETS Thick,
WAVY, BEAUTIFUL
Save Your Hair! Double Its
Beauty in a Few Moments;
Try This!
Hair Stops Coming Out and
Every Particle of Dandruft
Disappears

Try as you will, after an application
of Danderine, you can not find a single
trace Of dandruff or falling hair and
your scalp will not itch, but what will
please you most, will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair
fine and downy at first-yes-but real
ly 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 a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw II
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is imme-
diate and amazing-your hair will be
light, fluffy and wavy. and have an
appearance of abundance; an incom'
parable lustre, softness and luxuri'
ance, the beauty and simmer Of true
hair health.
Get q ascent bottle of Knowlton's
Dan6erine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and prove that your
bair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all.
Danderine is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. It goes right to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them. Its
celebrating, stimulating and life-pro-
ducing properties cause the hair to
grow long, strong and beautiful.-AdV.

out question 1915 was the best year
that the Kaeleku Sugar Company has

to be even better than the past.
D. J. Chalmers, head machinist at
the mill. has been full of business ever
since the last bag Of sugar was
weighed of. He ran the whole year
through without a break or a shut
down. Every machine, therefore, need
ed instant attention. With a large
force of helpers from outside and with
every regular man busy, he has pulled
every machine completely to pieces,
given every part and bearing a full
overhauling and is now getting things
together, enlarged and made ready to
keep every machine and every man
busy every day and all the days Of the
coming sugar year. The rains and
the season have made the fields look

TARIFF COMMISSION
FAVORED BY CHAMBER

That the local Chamber of Com
merce may join with the National
Chamber in an effort to establish a
permanent United States tariff COM
mission is probable after the reading
of a communion from the national
Chamber yesterday at the meeting OF
the board of directors. The letter was
an urgent request that the local organ
ization join with the national body in
an earnest effort to bring about the
establishment of the permanent com
mission.
The letter was referred to the COM
mittee on legislation, and if the re-
quest is acceded to it will mean that
the chamber will use all of its infu-
ence with Congress to pass the mea-
sure proposed.
At the same meeting action was
taken to see that the breaks in the
city sewer were repaired as soon as
possible.
