Thin, brittle colorless and scragsy hair is mute evidence of-a neglected scalp; of dandruff-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 a 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.

There has already been launched formidable boom for Theodore Burton of Ohio for president in 1916. Bur- ton is Republican and has had twenty-four years experience at the national capital as a representative and senator from Ohio. Burton will leave soon for tour of South Amer ica. His friends believe this will aid his candidacy, as the relations be- tween the United States and the Latin American republics are grow ing constantly more important. c

is now published in over coo Ian
guages and that every year from
eight to ten new languages are add

lated no less than 5,25i.i76 copies OF
the entire Scriptures or bound por-

all Bible societies Of more than 49,

WHEN To DISARM

But would IL be safe for a single
nation TO disarm? Yes-when the
Sermon on the Mount becomes the
Magma Charta Of that nations life;
when the Golden Rule becomes the
rule Of its conduct; when the spirit
Of the Good Samaritan becomes its
Interpreter Of international law;
when its character becomes one OF
altruism and self-denying love; when
its liberty and life become more
desirable to the other nations Of the
earth than its destruction - then
will it be safe for a nation to dis
arm. In a day not far away there
will be no use for either an army
or a navy TO act as an international

II is easy enough 10 be prudent,
When nothing tempts you TO stray,
When without or within no voice or
sin
Is Turing your soul away
But it's only a negative virtue
Until it is tried by fire,
And the life that is worth the honor
of earth
Is one that resists desire.
II is easy enough TO be pleasant
Where life flows on like a song,
But the man worth while is one
who will smile
When everything goes dead
wrong,
For the test OF the heart is trouble
And il always comes with the
years
And the smile that is worth the
praises OF earth,
Is the smile that shines through
tears.
