Appeal Made for Funds.

Another appeal for funds is sent out by
the association. To carry on its work,
such as supporting families by buying
food and paying rent. and extending
transportation whereby some OF the
needy ones may reach relatives. the as
sociation needs $1,000 month. AL Of
this money, with the exception OF the
salaries of the executive secretary and
stenographer and telephone expense. is
devoted to the relief of needy dependnts
or families of national guardsmen from
the District Funds may be addressed
either to Mrs. Alice l. Stuart, room 716,
dent of the Federal National Bank, 14th
and G streets northwest.
Funds may be sent simply for general
relief work at various times, or an lnd1-
vidual may pledge himself to send in
certain amount each month. Persons in
terested also may inquire for special
cases at the headquarters and adopt"
certain needy ones. One woman has
taken over the care OF four families.
Example in Pathetic Case.
One case is especially pathetic. 1t is
that of a couple, both of whom are more
than sixty years old. and who have a
son in the guard. Their rent to date
has Deen pald, out tRey Heeu money LOT
food and the next months rent soon
will be due. Any one who wishes to
take this case under his or her personal
care is urged to communicate with Mrs.
Stuart, at the association headquarters.
Attention once more is called to the
fact that the association is not a char
table organization. but a patriotic
necessity. AS stated by President John
Dolph, the people of the District should
not be afraid to make some small sacri-
fice to help the men who have given up
good positions with fine prospects to
answer the call of duty. The associa-
ton wishes to emphasize the fact that
financial aid is extended only to those
physically unable to help themselves or
for temporary relief.
Regular meetings of the plan and
scope committee of the association will
be held every Thursday in the Munsey
building.
Government employees will be given
an opportunity to help in the work of
relief by subscribing small monthly
sums. The Citizens Welfare Associa-
ton will have representatives ap-
pointed among the clerical forces in
the various departments who will
take charge of the funds Of each divi-
sion and who will turn the money
over to the association.
All communications should be ad-
dressed to the Citizens Welfare Asso-
citation, room 716, Munsey building.
The telephone number of the associa-
ton is Main 21s6.

Within ten minutes after an appli-

single trace of dandrun or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what

scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference 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 amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy. and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible luster.
softness and luxuriance.
Get 25 cent bottle OF Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that 1t has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots Of 1t II you will just try lit

A GOOD CHANGE.

Wrong food and drink cause lot OF
trouble in this world. To change is
first aid when a person is i'll, particu

bles. AS an illustration: lady in
Mo. was brought around to health
again by leaving off coffee and some
articles of food that did not agree with
her.
She says:
For number of years / suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
most of the time. About four years
ago l left off coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but was so re.
duced in flesh and so nervous that the
least thing would overcome me.
Then changed my food and began
using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. l lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months. Day by
til the nervous trouble had disap-
peared. feel that owe my health
to Postum and Grape-Nuts.
Husband was troubled. for long
time, with occasional cramps. and
slept badly. Finally l prevailed upon
him to leave on coffee and take
Postum. After he tried Postum for
q few days he found that he could
sleep and that his cramps disappeared.
He never went back to coffee" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Creek,
Mich.
Postum comes in two forms:

MERCHANT SHIP MEASURE AGAIN
 BEFORE SENATE
Administration Will Push Shipping Board Bill To
 Vote Soon.

washington, Aug. 9-The second attempt of the administration to create a government shipping board to undertake rehabilitation of the American merchant marine began in the Senate today under conditions in marked contrast to those which char acterized the hotly fought losing struggle in the last Congress.
 With Democrats united on the amended bill and no party revolt in prospect, such as accomplished defeat for the bill before, interest in the is sue was apathetic.
 Informal conferences of Republi- cans and Democrats early in the day regarding the prospect of adjourn ment of Congress disclosed that Re- publicans were anxious to dispose of the shipping bill and all other pend> ing legislation as rapidly as possible. Senator. Harding, of Ohio, who will direct opposition to the shipping bill for the minority. thought the meas ure could be disposed of in less than a week. Senator Kern informed him that a sincere effort would be made that Congress might adjourn by Sep tember 1. Senator Harding hoped that adjournment might be as early as August 26.
 Leaders of both sides, it was dis closed, have been urged by campaign leaders to hasten adjournment,
 In urging the shipping bill Senator Simmons outlined the great need of the country for commercial prepared ness hand-in-hand with military pre- paredness.
