JAPAN HAS MODIFIED
 DEMANDS ON CHINA.
Expression of Opinion is Expected from Great Britain, France and Russia.

from Great Britain, France and
 Russia.
 Washington, May 7.-Oficial advices here late today indicated that a crisis in the far east has been averted, that Japan has modified her demands, and that China will accept them.
 Before the terms of the agreement are finally concluded, however, an ex- pression of opinion is expected by the France and Russia, as the allies of Japan, as to whether the interests which the leading powers have had in the maintenance of the territorial in tegrity of China or the ''open door" policy have been affected.
 To Learn Attitude of Powers.
 The American ambassadors at Lon dor, Paris and Petrograd have been in structed to learn the attitude of the powers which, like the United States are pledged to maintain the territorial status quo in China and the freedom Of commercial opportunity. InaSmuch as Japan and Germany are at war, the latter country was not consulted at this time, but later may be included Tn the American governments corre- spondence on the question.
 Officials were silent as to the com munications that had been sent abroad, but it is known that it was desired before the negotiations were ended to consult the other powers in view of the peculiar relationship existing be- tween them and the United States in connection with Chinese affairs.
 Secretary Bryan would not discuss the matter beyond saying the state mept issued last night covered the American governments position. He announced, however, that today the state department had received the sub stance of the Japanese ultimatum and that it contained important modifica- tions by Japan of her demands.

25 CENTS DESTROYS
 YOUR DANDRUFFsAND
 STOPS FALLING HAIR
SAVE YOUR HAIR! MAKE TT THICK, NAVY AND BEAUTI-
 FUL-TRY THIS!

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of a neglected scalp; of dandrup-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very life; eventually producing feverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Dander- inc tonight-now-any time - will surely save your hair.
 Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton' $ Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter, and after the first ap- plication your hair will take on that life, lustre and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appearance of abundance, an incomparable gloss and softness; but what will please you most will be after just few weeks use, when you will actually see lot of fine, downy hair-new hair-grow- ing all over the scalp.

Remember there are counterfeits sold here, so surely look and see that yours is made by the California Fig Syrup Company" Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup.-Adv.

 Sick headache, biliousness, coated tongue, head and nose clogged up with a cold-always trace this to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach.
 Poisonous matter clogged in the in- testines, instead of being cast out of the system is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes conges- tion and that dull, throbbing, sicken- ing headache.
 Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and tpoisons in the bowels.
