 When Mildredina Hair Remedy is used almost universally, dandruff will disappear and with its departure bald ness, itching scalp, splitting hair and all scalp diseases will follow and twenty years from now bald head will be a rarity"
 There is only one way to cure dand- ruff, and that is to kill the germs, There is only one hair preparation that will kill the germs and that is Mildred ina Hair Remedy. This unusual hair restorer with its record of thousands of cures will grow hair on any headwhere there is any life left; it will cure dand. ruff, stop falling hair and itching of the scalp in three weeks or money back.

SUFFRAGETS WIN
OUT OVER RIVALS
Will Get First Hearing Before
Congress on Susan B. An
thony Amendment

Washington. ID. c.. Dec. I. The
congressional committee of the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage AS
Congressional Union. in the race for
the first hearing in the sixty fourth
congress on the Susan B. Anthony
suffrage amendment.
Rival deputations from the two or
Sani2ations called on Senator Charles
is. Thomas, chairman of the Senate
committee on woman suffrage, to- day
and asked for hearing. The. Senator
replied that he had conferred with his
colleagues regarding the situation and
they had decided to grant the Ma
tional American Woman Suffrage AS
sociation a special hearing on the
Susan b. Anthony resolution for We'd
nesday, December 10. at 10 o'clock
a. m. This is during the week of the
forty-seventh annual convention of the
National Association, in Washington.
The Congressional Union deputation
asked for a hearing during its own
convention. which will be held the
week preceding that of the National
American Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton. Senator Thomas toyed with
paper weight and replied blandly that
it was impossible. Then the Union
asked to share the hearing granted to
the national ASSOCIATION. Senator
Thomas replied that this, too, was inn
possible.
Against Hearing
Can we not then have a hearing
somewhat later" desperately de-
manded Miss Alice Paul. chairman of
the Congressional Union.
We always like to accommodate
parties who are interested in measures
before the Senate" said the Senator,
when we are satisfied that they have
any real light to throw upon the ques-
ton. Some of us, however. would
have to be convinced that you have
anything new or to the point to add to
the discussion. Personally L do not
believe that you have, and l should
not urge that hearing be given you.
The committee is made up for the
most part of suffragists, but those of
us who are members of the Democra-
tic party are not especially interested
in listening to a repetition of your
threats against that party If we do not
succeed in forcing the suffrage resolu-
ton through the siXty-fourth con-
gress'
With this plain statement the Sem
ator closed the interview
Mrs. Helen II. Gardner headed the
deputation from the National Ameri-
can Woman Suffrage Association,
which sought and secured the coveted
hearing in the upper house. She an
nounced that the national would send
its ablest speakers to the hearing,
among them DR.. Anna Howard Shaw,
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, Mrs. An
