What Eltnge Does
With His Old Clothes.


Perhaps no star now before the
public spends a greater amount on
wardrobe than does Julian Eltinge,
the impersonator who is appearing
in the title role of Cousin Lucy"
When Eltinge went into the busi-
ness of Disgusting himself as a beau
tiful woman he realized that clothes
must play an important part in his
presentation. If clothes make the
the man it was obvious that the fin-
est raiment was necessary to trans
form a mere man into a stunning
member Of the opposite sex; so FL
tinge began spending large sums of
money for gowns. Each year this
sum has been increased to keep
abreast Of the fast-changing styles
until his yearly expenditures for this
detail now are said to approximate
$4,000.
The question often asked is what
does Eltinge do with these dazzling
creations when they are no longer
in vogue" The answer is simple,
but startling. He gives them away.
Admirers of this unique artist will
bear out the statement that he never
returns to a city with costumes for
merly exhibited, even if second en-
gagement is played during the same
season.
He usually picks out beginners in
vaudeville, women working for a
small salary. who would be able to
demand more money from managers
if they had better wardrobes, and
sends his exquisite gowns, hats and
other accessories to them. He will
frequently drop into a cheap vaude-
vile theater and some performer on
the bill will be astonished next day
at the receipt of package full of
gowns sent anonymously. He has
received many offers of large sums
of money from modistes for his old
costumes but he prefers to give them
away.
With an entirely new array of ul-
tra-fashionable dresses Julian El-
tinge will be seen in Cousin Lucy
at the National Theater. LIMB.

The Easiest Way
To End Dandruff

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain. ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sin
gle sign and trace of it. no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be fluffy,
lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and
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. This sim
pie remedy has never been known to

In the ship building industry every

Orders have been placed for 43 boats

1t is estimated that 40 per cent of
the export steel sales have been for
the manufacture of war munitions in
Europe. In addition heavy sales have
been made to domestic manufacturers
of shrapnel and high explosive shells
which will eventually find their way
across the Atlantic.
February sales of war munitions are
estimated at 100000 tons for direct ex-
port and total war sales since the first

DIR. John &. Dykes of Mankato, has
withdrawn from the race for Republic

nouncement that DIR. Dykes was out

expected to muddle conditions in the

cr. Dykes was the Republican COR
gressional nominee in the Sixth dis

the district.
The Dykes candidacy was also pre-

member of the state medical board.
Whether this breach has been re-
ers in Topeka. DR.. Dykes merely
stated he was not n candidate for
national committeeman and let it go
at that.
In the Sixth district the lines in the
Burrcw- Muivane fight have been
drawn by issues in the congressional
contest. Because of the feeling en-
Vention when Burrow was beaten for
the congressional nomination, friends
of Otis L. Benton of Oberlin, have
swung ir behind the Mulvane move

BATTLE IN SNOW
French Soldier Says Verdun
Was SHAMELESS.
Germans Charged, TrampIing
Bodies of Dead Comrades.

Paris, Feb. ga combatant who
was in one of the advanced trenches
early in the battle of Verdun and who
has returned to Paris wounded, gives
his experience as follow:
AT dawn we received orders to
leave the trench and retire to a strong
position in the NauX woods in front of
Dououmont. Bending low we retired
the four or five kilometres through
the snow without much loss. Once in
the new trenches we could net hear
one another speak, so great was the
roar of the cannonading and when
we looked through the periScopes we
could only see heavy clouds of smoke
shutting out the sky with jets of fire
flashing through the snowflakes.
There were about a dozen of us in
the trench and we felt the suppressed
emotion so much that at last we all
burst out singing and yet none of us
could hear a word spoken, even by
himself.
Like Flock of Sheep.
Then we saw the Germans coming
on. They were in such masses that
they looked like flock of sheep.
When our guns began to speak, white
empty spaces showed among the gray
of the advancing masses; but they
were soon filled up by fresh patches of
gray. AS they neared our barbed wire
