MIR. HUGHES VERY CAREFUL
NOT TO TALK TOO SOON

Charles +. Hughes awoke at
O'Clock at his hotel in New York yes
terday morning after sleeping nearly
seven hours and a minute later was
reading the newspapers and latest
election dispatches from doubtful
states.
Mr.. Hughes adhered to his determ-
ination of Tuesday night to issue no
statement until the result was beyond
doubt.
A statement issued at republican
national headquarters at 2:30 yester-
day afternoon claimed Minnesota,
Oregon, California and New Hamp-
shire, and asserted that Hughes had
obtained 277 electoral votes.
Mr.. Hughes felt confident of sue
cess and said there was nothing to in
dictate that the republican party had
been defeated.

other day and there was some unof-

eventually be thrown into the house
of representatives.

graves of those men and to hallow
their memories that blue space of the
sky, in which swim those stars which
exemplify for us the glorious galaxy
of the states of the Union which
stand together to vindicate the rights
OF mankind
The issue of preparedness was pre-
sented squarelyI by H. H. Booth, presi-
dent of the Greater Des Moines So
ciety, who introduced President Will
son. Tt was not a political issue, he
said, but one of national honor, add
ing:
Every member of Congress should
be made to understand fully that we
want our country and fresides pro-
tected against invasion. The Ameri-
can people will never forgive the man
who is responsible for. not providing
for any emergency. The question is
not one of parties 1
That was s. the word from Des
Moines to the President, and it was
nthusiasi cally cheered. The great
crowd rose and cheered again as the
President bowed his response.
In his speech Mr.. Wilson again re-
ferred to the cost Of preparedness. He
said that it was not the men who
munitions who were behind the move
ment, but 'tthe men with whom he
rubbed shoulders in the Streets the
true American citizens who held hon.
or above life. He spoke of the
plans which would be made to have
America manufacture her own arma-
ment and equip her own soldiers if
there was any question of excessive
prices by private capital. 4

WHY HAIR FALLS OUT

Dandrun causes a feverish irritation
of the scalp, the hair roots shrink,
loosen and then the hair. comes out
fast. To stop falling hair at once and
rid the scalp of every particle of dan
druff, get a 25-cent bottle of Dander-
inc at any drug store, pour a little in
your hand and rub well into the
scalp. After a few applications all
dandruff disappears and the hair stops
coming out.-Adv.
