CHAPTER ?.
 Unto the angel of the church ot Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candle sticks.
 ?. l know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and now thou Canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not and hast found them liars
 3. And hast borne, and hast patti ence, and for my names sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
 4. Nevertheless l have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
 ,. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent and do the first works; Or else will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
 6. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes which I also hate.
 z. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that Overcometh will l give to eat of the tree of life which Is in the midst of the para disc of God.

 10. Fear none Of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried and ye shall have 1ribulauion ten days: bs thou faithful unto death, and will give thee crown of life.
 II. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death. '
 12. And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

Dandruf Soon
 .. Ruins the Hair

Girls--if you want plenty of thick, beautiful glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid Of ,dandruff, for it will starye your hair and ruin it if you don't. f',
 ; It doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it, then you destroy it entirely To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp ard rub it in gent ly with the finger tips.
 By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three Or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it.
 You will find, too, that all itching and digging Of the scalp will stop and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple rem edy never fails.

Brussels, April 7.-FFand Whitlock American minister to Belgium, con- tinues his successful efforts to ameli- crate the conditions brought about by the war. His latest activity has been to induce the Germans to allow the English women and children stranded in Belgium to leave for home.

THINE BLUFF,
 PROGRESS ROSPERITY
THE CHICAGO LESSON.

The result of the election in Cal cago Tuesday, when William Hale Thompson, Republican, was named as mayor over Robert Sweitzer, Dem ccrat, by a plurality of nearly 140,o0C recalls that old campaign joke in which one old-time Democrat is sAuoted as recalling "the time when tie Democrats could nominate a yaller dog and elect him to office, and the retort of another Democrat hot so old, that That's the trouble; tie Democrats nominated too many yaller dogs"
 The Democrats nominated Sweitzer when they could have nominated Carter Harrison or some other Dem- ocrat who could have boiled the strength of the party in Chicago. h. asumch as Chicago elected a Dem ocratic council, the evidence tends to show that Chicagoans prefer Dem ccrats and Democratic politics, but positively refuse to have any oio Democrat crammed down their poll tical throats.
 People are not as hide-bound no" as they were thirty years ago. Party lines are less rigid. More and more are people beginning to show that they consider the man above the party, especially in municipal a1falrs And. as this sentiment grows, better men are being put into office
 There's still graft and politics III municipal affairs, but results such as that at Chicago are impressing upon noliticians and bosses that the peo- ole are doing some thinking for them- selves: that the time is rapidly ap- uroaching when men will be elec'eo to mblic office because of theli clean characters and ability to III the job. And when that time comes the taxpayers will get more for thei' monsy Fer therell be fewer ucks and leeches on the body polite.

X PUZZLE IN PUBLICITY

The ways of publicity also are among the things beyond finding cut. Everybody remembers the hub -bup raised some time ago when the eastern railroads of the country were arguing for an increase in freight rates before the interstate commerce. commission. The press throughous the east and west were carrying long stories about it and edltorai comments were printed by the mlle' It is safe to say that the matter was q suhiect for newspaper discussion frohn the Atlantic to the Pacific.
 Now the western railroads also are asking for a similar rate increase. They have been arguing before 'he commission at meeting in Chicago for several weeks past. Yet news paper stories about the hearlhs' even throughout the west, have been short and not conspicuous by regu larity. Newspaper comment through ont the west has been almost Ill.
 Why is this? How is it that a story y that was thought so important "hen i- affected the cast has been slde- tracked when it affects the west?
 The question may illustrate q weakness of modern journalism. The neon,e and through them the papers, do not stick to a subject long enough to reach any goal. The American mind continually seeks something new. and this includes a new subject to talk about. But as soon as lhe subiect has been in the public nina for a short time, it seems to lose us appeal, no matter how important u may be.
