s.Danderine Hair Cleanse"

After washing your hair with soap
always apply a little Danderine to the
scalp to invigorate the hair and pre-
vent dryness. Better still, use soap as
sparingly as possible, and instead have
a ''Danderine Hair Cleanse" Just
moisten a cloth with Danderine and
draw it carefully through your hair,
taking one strand at a time. This will
remove dust, dirt and excessive oil.
In a few moments you will be amazed,
your hair will not only be clean, but
it will be wavy, fluffy and abundant,

Very Effective Method
for Banishing Hairs
Modes of Today.)

AT very little cost any woman can
rid her face of hairy growths, if she
will use the delatone treatment. This
is made by mixing some water with
a little powdered delatone. This paste
is spread upon the hairy surface for
2 or 8 minutes, then rubbed off and
the skin washed, when every trace of
hair will have vanished. No harm re-
suits from this treatment, but care
should be used to buy real delatone.-

GERALD SMITH WINS IN
UNIQUE LOVE AFFAIR,

Reba Tice, pretty ~18-year-old dau-
ghter of Mrs. Joseph Wheeler, of
Mortified, chose Gerald Smith, crack
ball player of Pleasantville, when he
presented himself as = sutton for her
hand. Hudson Vanderhoof, a jackie
on the S. S. Utah, had also been WOO
ing fair Reba, and obtained a fur
Tough. He j%ourneyed to Mortified
for the express purpose of taking I'M
to himself a wife. He had Miss Tice
in mind.
When the two suitors presented
themselves at her home and both urg-
ing an immediate marriage Miss Tice
was forced to do some fast choosing,
While she was making up her mind
Smith was planning the getaway"
in case he should be the favored one.
Finally Miss Tice made her decis-
ion. She confided to Smith that he
was to be the groom. Smith left the
house through a rear door. He had
not gotten well off on his flight with
the young woman when Vanderhoof
realized that he was losing ground.
Smith hired a jitney at Pleasant
vile and asked to be driven to At
lantic City. Vandarhoof decided to
press his suit further. He too, OBJ
tanned a fast moving jitney and the
race across the Boulevard was on.
When Smith and Miss Tice reached
that city they Immediately changed
jitneys. After the car bearing Van
derhoof had passed up Atlantic ave-
nue. they directed the driver to go
back to Pleasantville. Vanderhoof,
they believed, would take up his watch
about the Electric Station.
When the 3 o'clock train pulled in
to Pleasantville, Smith and Miss Tice
boarded it. They confided to friends
on the station platform that they
were bound for Gretna Green. The
ceremony was performed at Elkton,
Maryland. Smith and his bride ex-
pect to return to Pleasantville within
the next few days.

many that ii added not a little to the
expectation that the day had come for
stripping Germany of this most OBJ
jectionabe feature. her national arma-
ment.
Not seeing its merits. not to speak of
its necessity, II is not surprising that
after deriding it those antagonists
should feel as they do. Their conten-
ton is that the abolition of German
militarism will be a blessing to the Ger
man nation. In view of such attitude
there Is every need of correcting false
Impressions.
The calculations as to weakness have
failed II would be hopeless at the same
time to convince an anti-German that
the German military system, as he has
been wont to view it, from the German
standpoint meant anything hut a
menace and aggression that it was
meant and will forever be meant for
protection. Nor is now the time to
persuade that an Objectionable feature
will in the future lose any OF its rigid
ity. In view of such a status of af-
fairs the sole object of further Discus
SION can only DE Oh purely lnlOIIld-
tory character.
1t would, for instance, hardly do any
harm If in the discussion of that much
abhorred principle Of general con-

that the first documents expressing the
motives and general plan of ICON
