admit such connection which is un-
scientific.
This we know. Some dozen drugs
can now be legally put into food in
tended for interstate commerce and
another dozen are permitted by va
rious State governments in the manu-
facture of foods not intended for in
terstate commerce.
At least twelve necessary mineral
elements can be legally taken out of
foods intended for interstate COM
merce. Thus the manufacturer is per-
mitted to add to natures formula or
subtract from it at will, depending
entirely upon what he considers nee
essary in attaining the commercial re-
suits desired.
The 100000 children under ten

their innocent cakes, cookies, crack
ers and biscuits; their innocent
white bread smeared with syrup and
eousy colored candles.
When they went their unheralded
way to death they gave testimony OF
| the ignorance of those whose love for
| them was as high as the hills, as deep
as the seas and as dark as the night.

DANDRUFF SURELY
DESTROYS THE HAIR

Girls-if you want plenty of thick.
beautiful, glossy, silky hair do by ali
means get rid of dandrufk for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you
don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this. get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all. of
your dandruff will be gone, and three
or four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. 1t is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you will need,
no matter how much dandruff you
have: This simple remedy never fails.

Hundreds of kilograms indicating the
sentiment of local citizens regarding
the armed merchantmen controversy
now causing a disagreement between
President Wilson and congress, were
sent to Congressman Gray and Sena-
tor Kern today.

vessels Samples of the kilograms fol-
low:
Il favor legislation warning Ameri-
cans against travelling on armed vcs-
sells"
II solemnly urge you to support the
effort warning American citizens off
armed vessels"
Sentiment among German citizens
is that Americans should stay off arm
ed merchantmen during the war pc
riod and to travel on unarmed and
neutral boats.
Leaders here assert that citizens
stay off street when lawless mob
is shooting and committing outrages.
No one will pass along on such
street, and assert he has right to
be there. Common sense tells him to
stay out of the danger zone. On the
same ground they argue that citizens
