ALLY SPY OR JUST PLAIN NUT?
Jitney Driver Thinks Latter Classifi-
 cation Is the Correct One.

Was he an ally spy or just q plain 'nut?'" is the question that a New London taxicab driver is asking him. self in reference to a, well dressed man of middle age. with a plethor1c bank roll, whom he drove to the state steamship terminal recently. The that the latter classification of the in dividual is correct after the inci- dents which he witnessed.
 Arriving at the pier, the stranger announced in determined tone his in tention to board the North German Lloyd liner Willehad, mother ship of the Bremen, which has been docked there for several weeks. Regardless of the protests of watchmen he per sisted in approaching the gangway and but for the exercise of force on the part of special officers on duty would have succeeded in reaching the deck.
 Obliged to desist temporarily from his attempt to get on the liner, the passenger directed his chauffeur to return to the city. There he paid him iberally for his trip and announced his desire to engage him for the en tire evening. offering to settle in ad- vance for the job. The driver now re- grets that he did not accept the prop osition. He agreed, however, to re- main on call but the call did not ma terialize.
 The stranger confided to the chauf- feur that there were five sailors on the Willehad whom he wished 10 con- fer with at any price. Officials of the of the affair stated that the men were at liberty to leave the liner any time and no person would have difficulty in interviewing them.

How to Be Rid of
 Disgusting DandruH

The only way to be permanently rid of disgusting, untfdy dandruff is to correct it's cause. Shampooing merely cleanses the scalp for a few days, then the scales form again as thick as ever.
 To destroy the dapdruff germ and get rid of dandruff for good, part the hair and apply a little of the genuine
 Parisian Sage directly on the bare scalp, and rub it in with the finger tips for a few minutes until absorbed by the scalp. You will surely be amazed at the result of even one ap- plication, for your hair and scalp will look and feel 100 per cent. better. Only a few days massage with Parisian Sage are needed to destroy the germs that cause the dandruff to form. The scalp becomes healthy, the hair will grow better and show more [ life and vitality, and you need never
 be troubled by dandruff again. Faded, dull or lifeless hair is quickly restored l to beauty by this simple process, which l is absolutely harmless, and will not stain the hair or make 1t greasy. Partisan Sage can be obtained from Lee & Osgood aCo. and druggists l everywhere. It is not expensive.
