Congress Committee, but which was
adopted by the conference, follows:

lands and the abrogation of all laws
discriminating against them; it be-
ing understood that the phrase "full

religious, and political rights, and,
in addition thereto, wherever the
various peoples Of any land are rec
ognized as having separate group
rights, the comforting upon the Jews
thereof Of such rights if desired by
them.
Since the object specified in the
foregoing resolution is one as to
which there is entire unani1nity
among all Jews, this conference ia
vors the calling of congress Of
Jews Of America for the sole pur-
pose Of taking appropriate action to

25-cENT "DANDERINE" MAKES HAIR THICK, GLOSSY, NAVY
 AND BEAUTIFUL,

Within ten minutes after an appli- cation of Danderine yfu cannot find a single trace of dandruf or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, 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.
 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. It's eXhilarating, stimulating and life pro- ducinG properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful
 A little Qanderine immediately dou- bles the beauty of your hair No diff ference how dull faded, brittle and scraggy just moisten a cloth with DDanderine 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 incomparable lustre, softness and luXuriance.
 Get a 25-cent bottle Sof Knowfton's Danderine from any drug store or toi- let counter, and prove that your hair is as pretty and soft as any-that it has been neglected or injured by care less treatment-that's all-you surely can have beautiful hair and lots of it if you will just try a little Dander- inc.

FAIRBANKS SAYS DEMOCRATIC

Denied It's Ability to Treat With Pros.
 Pective Economic Situation.

Cleveland. Ohio Oct. 1S.-"The pros- perity of the United States is leopard prosperity. It is spotted" said Charles Warren Fairbanks, vice presidential nominee of the republican party, here today. He attacked the democratic administration as unsta'bic and denied its ability to deal with the tremend- ous economic situation Ninlch VIII oe created at the close of the war when 3O,OOO,0O0 foreign peoples go back to work Of construction.
 Any specific prosperity now is pre- dlcated upon the war in Europe" de- clared Fairbanks Tt is not of a per- manent kind. It is leopard prosperi- ty-spotted. At the end of the war the foreign people will look to Amer ica ass their most promising market We shall want at that time a strong hand in charge of affairs. The repub- lican party stands for America against the world.

| MAYOR DUNN'S CHANGES
 FOR CONGRESSMAN BRIGHT
Looks as if He Will Make Great Run
 Against Richard p. Freeman.

The politicians of this part of the state are talking over the possibilities of Mayor Daniel F. Dunn in,.his run for congress from the Second congres : sional district. Many are of the opin- ion that the mayor will make a great run for the office against his opponent, Richard P. Freeman of New London. It is stated by those that are versed in the political game that the demo- cratic nominee is one that the other party is a little bit afraid of as his record in the past as a state official and as an office holder in the city gov ernment are not to be denied. It is also stated that the republican ean- d1date has lost a number of votes be- cause of his absence from Washington at the time the eight hour law was passed. According to this fact it is stated that this county, which is in normal times a republican stronghold. as well as the other counties, will turn out a majority for the democra- tic candidate who has made known his views on the question of the eight hour law. It looks, to those that know, that the statement made by Danny" in accepting the nomination, that he would be the next representa- tive in congress from this district, is to become a fact.
