GIRLS! DRAW A MOIST
CLOTH THROUGH HAIR
Try This! Hair Gets Thick, Glossy,
Wavy and Beautiful
at Once.

Immediate? Yes! Certain? That's
the joy Of it. Your hair becomes
light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap-
pears as soft, lustrods and beautiful
as young girls after a Danderine
hair cleanse. Just try this-moisten a
cloth with little Danderine and care
fully draw 1t through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time. This will
cleanse the hair of dust, dirt, or ex-
cessive oil. and in just few moments
you have doubled the beauty of your
hair. A delightful surprise awaits
those whose hair has been neglected
or Is scraggy, faded. dry, brittle or
thin. Besides identifying the hair,
Danderine dissolves every particle of
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and invig-
crates the scalp, forever stopping itch
ing and falling hair. but what will
please you most will be after a few
weeks use, when you see new hair
fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair growing all over the
scalp. If you care for pretty, soft hair,
and lots Of 1t, surely get a 25 cent bot
tie OF knowlton's Danderine from any
drug store or toilet counter and just
try it.--Adv.

his best.

1915 pounds, while ten who have
shown improvement, have made an
average gain of 1871 pounds
A careful study of the history of the

patients, it was found, did not come
from any class, occupation, profess
sion nor from any definite commun-

The disease isn't confined to any

DIR. Kenncy stated. as his belief that
the average new cases were not less
than 5000 Il year. while the death rate
from tuberculosis in Kansas was three
a day. Each victim, he said, com
municated the disease TO at least four
others. Using DIR. Kenney's figures as
a basis. the years toll from tuberculo-

cattle from foot and mouth disease.
In the two years before the converting

will be cared for as soon as possible.

Berlin, June 21.-Germany intends

the United States before making a

concerning submarine operations. The
next communication sent to Washing

United States Rail Capital Is
Very Modest
When Compared to That of
Other Countries.
GREAT BRITAIN IS HIGHEST
Roads Capitalized at $271,OOO a
Mile i'm Island Kingdom.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

Each new mile of railway added to
the worlds total in 1913 was attended
by an averoge increase in capital of
S123,143 The average capital of
United States railways as they stood in
1913 was only s65,s61 per mile. The
immense disparity, showing strikingly
the moderate capitalization of United
States railways. is based on the an
way capital of the Prussian depart
ment Of public works by the bureau
of railway news and statistics, Chi
cage.
For the first time. the aggregate
capital of the worlds railways in 1918
crossed the 60 billion mark, and stood
at s60.222. 036.7S4. In the total, how
ever. is figured over $4,000, 100000 as
the capital of the railways of the
United States This is the erroneous
gross capital which includes all the
complications due to intercorporate
ownership and disregards the inter-
state commerce cOmmiSSiOn'S figure OF
S15,330, 131,4 46 as the correct total in
1915. With this correction, the worlds
total in 1913 stood at S56.350. S04, 80,
an increase over the preceding year of
$1,S4S.250,566. For an addition of
only 1909 miles, this brings the aver
age cost of each new mile to the
above sum OF s123,143.
Showing further how modestly the
capital of the railways of this country
appears in the world comparison, is
of the United States, with their more
than 100000 miles of line, represent
ed about 81 per cent of the world
mileage, their capital was only 81 per
cent of the worlds capital. Europe,
the continent of high railway capital
and low priced labor, reported an av-
erage of S125,952 for each mile of its
railways against our $65,861. Our
railways, however, were not only low
er than Europe in capital per mile,
but also lower than the worlds av-
erage outside of Europe, which stood
in 1913 at $70,656. The average for
the world a, whole, against our 500
SOL. was $S2,313 per mile
This moderate capitalization of
United States railways places them
eighteenth in the list of nations in
capital per mile, though by margin
of over 200 900 miles the first in mile
