Miss Jackie Saunders, the Maud
Adams of the screen, starring in Bal
boa features, has agreed to tell Day
Book readers the story of pantomimic
expression-the art of getting con-
Versation into picture plays without
uttering words. In writing her story,
she found the camera an immense
aid. She illustrates by various photo
graphic poses just how the body
talks.
There are five stories. We are sure
you will enjoy them. Start reading

NOT A PARTICLE OF DANDRUFF OR
 A FALLING HAIR
Save your hair! Double it's beauty in just a few
 moments.
25-cent "Danderine'' makes hair
 thick, glossy. Wavy and beautiful.

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be af- ter few weeks use, when you see new hair fine and downy at first yes-but really new hair-growing all oyer the scalp.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigOrates and strengthens them. Its eXhilarating, stimulating and life producing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful
 A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and carefully draw it through your hair, taking one small strand at time. The effect is amazing-your hair will be light fluffy and wavy, and have an ap- pearance of abundance; an incOm- parable lustre, softness and 1uxur- lance.
 Get a 25-cent bottle of Knowlton' <; Danderine from any drug store store or toilet counter, and prove that your hair is as prettyl and soft as any that it has been neglected Or in - jured by careless treatm ent-that's S all-you surrey can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try 8 little Danderine

 Pro Arguments Stronger.
 "All arguments offered are anti war in nature and anti measures are always weaker than pro arguments. Therefore let us inaugurate pro peace movement, which will bring about a different condition in the world. Let Us have international law for law keeps justice and justice keeps peace. Classes must not exploit the masses, and living conditions should be made tolera be. Rid ourselves of all race and creed hatred. Let the United States lead in a peace move ment to discuss international dis putes The argument has been of fcred that The Hague convention is a. failure becaues of the present war. However. The Hague settled sixteen formed difficulties and if it is a fail ure, it is by tho ratio of 6 to 1. Let a commission of inquiry and medita- tion committee be formed. Have the strong nations join this movement and then others will come in, and dis putes can then be settled without war fare. The American plan is to dis arm to the safety point. the English to be stronger thna any other two nations. If a combination is formed, it will be able to bring, in the dissen- tere by the strength Of it's arms. All of our presidents, from the first great Virginian George Washington, to the last great Virginian, Woodrow Wilson, have desired peace and let this nation lead in the great movement for Dec laration of Interdependence so this world can have situation, such as it has not had since the coming of the great Prince of Peace" -

 Wilson's Speeches Three Points.
 ''I have made a careful stuGy of the Presidents messages and find they ! contain three points: to maintain the honor of United States, Monroe Doctrine and we are living in a world on fire. The honor of the United States has not often been outraged The ouestion of what a nations honor is has not been carefully explained. The Alabama case may be considered. Lincoln waited until after the Civil war and arbitrated the affair. The Monroe Doctrine guarantees the lib- erty and integrity of the South Amer ican Republics This has never been violated by any nation. The world is firm on this point and will stick by the terms of the Doctrine. There is a confa grafton throughout the world. The aim of the United States is to save life. Avengers are not needed. Save if you can, but not war for vengeance. All American lives lost in this war have been by ac- ClOent ana the cases Call De SoLl1cu after the war.
 ''Make Haste Slowly.'
 In the midst of the greatest calam ity the world has ever seen, with Eu- rope bleeding and Asia straining to keep our friendship, we are making profits out of the blood of our broth CTS and sisters. When the war ends we shall be the strongest people on earth and therefore it is not neces- sary for us to arm We do not neeC the increased ornaments, and we should make haste slowly There are three arguments against war which will bring peace, moral econ omic and biological. The first i; Thou shalt not kill. The belliger- ents are spending 5,000,0oo a day which at the declaration of peace vii leave them the verge of bank ruptcy. Up to the present 10000, ,OOC have been crippled or slain. This puts strain on the remainder.

 Experts have said maximum ef- l ficiency in naval affairs can be ob- 1 tained by having one large navy yard, where even our largest ships could oe ] berthed The Norfolk Navy yard was considered the ideal place and plans were made to build a huge dry dock there. But a Philadelphia congress man, looking for political glory after thinking the matter over, decided the dock ought to be built in his native city and accordingly worked the strings so the Norfolk scheme was voted down. So at this time we have no dock large enough to accommo- date our largest ships.
 Efficiency Needed.
 Efficiency is needed in the man. agement of public affairs and if it is obtained $SO,OOO,0OO a year will be saved. The president advocates na- tonal factories and in this connec- ton it is observed that while armor plate costs $500 a ton in this country, the price a ton in Russia is only s23O. Labor in the European countries is cheaper than here and as a financial proposition national factories will prove a failure.
 Hobson and Wood Wrong.
 "General Wood and Congressman i, +o fear from a Japanese invasion than any other. Now the question, which arises is, how could the Japanese do 1t? Japan has a population of co., 0OO, 900 people; ours is 100, 0,O00,00O. History has shown that Japan has al- ways valued our friendship highly. In fact that was the only nation on earth that loved us. True this love was weakened a little by the Cali fornla incidents but very little. One half of Japan's tra&e is with and war would ruin tWO-thirds of that cOuntry's merchants. The Japanese are subjected to the ,heaViest tax on earth, $30 out of every s1O0 going to the government. To invade this country Japan must need have a pow erful navy for transportation of it's troops On paper their navy is thirty per cent. inferior to ours and com ing such a distance it will be seventy per cent During the present war; England, with the most powerful navy known, has not been able to land troops on German soil, so how could Japan do it here? Japan s standing army is 250.000 men and it would have to be doubled to effect ar invasion. If this were started, the news would leak out and we would be aware of it. They have no ship that could get here and back on it's own coal and granting they could, the American submarine is faster than any boat. Hudson Maxim says one man in trench is worth three coming to it. We shall suppose the Japanese are through the line of battleships Then they conquer the National Guard: step lightly over the Rock Mountains and Sierras, lick our volunteer army of 100000 men,

MOTHER ATTEMPTS TO
KILL HER ONLY SON
Says Boy is An Angel and That
He Must be Sacrificed.
Rescued by Father.
News Times Especial Service

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Sept. 5.-The
mem bers of the police department
were called on a pitiful case yester-
day at noon. Olaf Sampson, his
wife Minnie, and their four-year-old
son Normal. compose a happy fam
lily that reside at 1895 Virginia st.
They are hard working people and
little Normal is the joy of the
household. His childish pranks
were a joy to Olaf when he returned
from work and after the child was
placed in his trundle bed at night
the father and mother spent the
evening talking of the future of
their son.
Yesterday the hand of fate inter
vened, and it nearly cost the life of
little Normal. The intense heat Of
the past summer told on Mrs.
Sampson and during the morning
her mind became deranged. The
father was in the yard and was
attracted by the screams of his son.
He rushed into the house and found
his wife choking the boy Using all
the strength at his command, he
rescued the child and called TO the
neighbOrs for help.
The police were notified and Of
ficers Smith and Russell went TO
the Sampson home. Mrs. Sampson
seemed rational. and told the Of
fcers that she wanted TO see her
son that was her angel. Thinking
that il would pacify her. the child
was brought into the room. In
flash she became violent and made
a lunge for the little one, at the
same time declaring that he was
her angel and the Lord had order
ed her 10 offer him up. It was
necessary for the police TO take
her in charge and she was placed
in the jail hospital.

GOOD ROADS PROVING
BACKBONE OF COUNTRY
Nebraska Shows Possibilities OF
Maintenance at Low
Cost.

In the recent issue of Farm and
Fireside, a writer says about good
roads:
mo other county in Nebraska Of
fers a better illustration of the low
cost Of building and maintaining
good dirt roads than Polk county,
especially during the time when
county highway engineer was en-
ployed 10 supervise the road and
bridge work in that county. That
period began in the spring of 1911
and continued until the beginning
Of the year 1916
During that time 525 miles Of
the $50 miles of road in the county
were graded. Previous to the serv-
ices of the county engineer only l53
miles of road in the county had been
graded. During his term of office,
contracts were let TO grade every
mile Of road within the boundaries
of the county, which shows that the
crossroads received attention as
we'll as the main travelled ones.
1T is true that the county en-
gineer worked under favorable con-
ditions, for the soil and lay of the
land in Polk county are favorable
for efficient roadwork; the soil alb
serbs water rather rapidly. and
most of the land is level.
The cost of grading in Polk
county was reduced during the
county engineers supervision from
SS4.21 a mile the first year, when
a steam engine and a few teams
were hired TO do the work, to s43 a
mile in 1914, when two tractors
owned by the county were used to
do practically all the grading Grad
ing in adjoining counties cost from
Sos 10 500 a mile with blade and
elevator graders.
The use of the tractors i'm Polk
county reduced the cost of the work
One-half, and in addition gave much
more satisfactory results in the type
of grading done. The tractor packs
the road more than do teams. and
consequently the highway soon be-
comes in good condition for travel.
In Polk county no work was
done with elevator graders, except
i'm low places or where a high grade
was required. All new grades we're
disked and narrowed Immediately
to smooth and pack them. Newly
graded roads were in good condi-
ton for travel within a few days
after grading. The slope from the
center of the road to the bitches
was made one inch to the foot and
the ditch banks were cut down to
permit moving the roadside and
thus add greatly to its appearance"
