GIVE NATURE A CHANCE
Don't Dry Up Your Scalp With
Soaps and Foaming
Mixtures

1t is a common mistake when
dandruff, falling hair, and other
scalp diseases manifest them
selves, to resort to the use of
soaps, cocoanut oil, and prepar-
ations containing alkalis. II you
are doing this, stop right now.
A dry scalp is the primary
cause of dandruf and similar af-
fections. The use of soaps or
other alkalis (their presence is
assured in preparations that
toam) serve to dry the scalp.
Give your hair good, stiff
brushing daily and get your
scalp back into perfect condi-
ton by the use of Speiser's
Scalp Tonic. This wonderful
preparation corrects the dryneS
and other abnormal conditions,
puts stop to dandruff and ac-
tually promotes the growth of
the hair. Speiser's Scalp Tonic
is sold only at O'Donnell's Drug
Store, 9o4 F street. Price, soc
a bottle. Mr.. O'Donnell will re.
fund your money if it fails.

the Interpretation which japanese Of.

speech Of Minister Sasonoff before the

peaceful and advantageous relations be.
tween Russia and Japan should be the
fore runner of a closer alliance.
Reports have reached here that the
United States fears Russo.Japanese
alliance directed against America. It
was pointed out, however, that it
should be noted that the overtures for
a closer alliance emanate from Petro.

the assistance Of japanese expedi-
tionary force.
Japan, it was declared today, has re-.
solved not to participate in the war in
Europe. Toxic, it was said, will only
consider an alliance for the orient.
Such an alliance is not urgent and is
also regarded MS unlikely.

MACY SAYS PRESENT
CHARTER IS OBSOLETE
Narrow, Restricted Charter
Causes Years Delay In
Improvements

After the heat Of the discussion about
the municipal swimming pool had cool
ed off at the meeting d the city coun.
ell last night and the supporters OF
the proposition had given up the fight
as homeless. Alderman Macy took occa'
sion to call attention to a few defects
in the present city charter He char
acterized the cnarter as antiquatcd,
narrow and restricted, and cited the
present instance rs n good example. lie
said that majority Of the council and
n majority Of the citizens, in his Opin'
ion. favored the establishment and
maintenance Of a municipal swimming
pool TO guarantee the safety Of the
bathers, but the charter stepped square
.lv in the way and blocked the entire
proceedings.
AT present. he said, there was moth
ing TO do but let them swim at their
own risk for q year while a charter
amendment wa. being framed and vot'
ed upon BY the people. Even now II
would require 30 days TO advertise the
proposed charter amendment and to
call special election which cost more
than the original appropriation, and
then IL would be mere formality Just
TO satisfy the provisions Of the charter.
In the meantime the swimming season
would be over aud its total of drown
ing might then be computed.
Mr. Macy was in favor OF charter
which would enable the city to own
and control parks, Fairgrounds and
water and light plants, both inside and
otside Of the city limits, and which
would not require q years delay in an
effort to safeguard the lives Of its
citizens.
