Father of Tanks"

Patriotic ScoYoknen might plausibly
claim that the real inventor of "tanks"
was John Napier of Merchiston, who
also invented logarithms. He had
many varied intellectual activities be-
sides the higher mathematics, and was
a jealous protagonist of Protestant
ism. For confounding all ''enemies of
Gods truth he confided to Bacon's
elder brother certain "secret inven-
tions." These included a chariot of
metal, double musket-proof, the mo-
ton Of which was controlled by those
within, 'who discharged shot through
small holes, the enemy being abased,
and uncertain what defense to make
against a moving mouth of metal"
This looks like the original ''tank," but
Napier directed the detailed designs
for his weird instruments of war to
be kept secret until necessity COM
PEELED their use.

HAIR STOPS FALLING
Glossy, Fluffy, Beautiful-No
More itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff 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 f1rst-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
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 a 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 a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment-that's
all-you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots Of it if you will just try lit
lie Danderine. Adv.

these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or it's
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance Of their
water as soon as it gets cold there is
often copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason

City Manaqinq a Profession.

When the commissioners in charge
of Niagara Falls, N. Y, were looking
about for a manager for the city they
heard of young fellow at Cadillac,
Mich, named Carr. Cadillac was pay
ing Carr $1,000 as city manager, and it
figured that it had made a good in
vestment, for he had saved the city
$1,000 out of budget of $78,OOO.
Carr looked over the ground at Mag
ara Falls and said he would take the
job at $1,000. But he agreed to save
the city $4,000 by putting the city on a
business basis. It looks as if he would
make good. 4.
That's what the city manager plan
makes possible. It builds up a corps
of trained men who know how cities
ought to run. Then it permits city
to bid for the services of man who is
conspicuously successful in the bust
ness.-Kansas City Star.

POLES AND WIRES HURT CITY
Los Angeles Newspaper Complains Of
Conditions Which Work Harm in
Many Other. Municipalities.

The residents of Los Angeles are to
be congratulated if the city shall
quickly acquire the privately owned
lighting systems and avoid the multi
pie pole-and-wire systems now borne
by the northeast districts. In the lat
ter, in Garvanza and Highland Park
districts particularly, more landscape
beauty has been b1otted out in few
months than the residents have been
able to create in several years. Poles
and wires are everywhere, trees de-
spoiled, private property rights vio-
lated, in stringing wires without per-
mission, and all the evils usually at
tendant upon service by employees
protected in their vandalism by civil
service. 1t is most sincerely hoped
that acquisition of existing lines by
the city will result in the removal of
at least two-thirds of the present jun
gle, for the district is now despoiled.

Riuht Type of Patriotism.

Every American who does not think
his land the fairest that ever the sun
shone on, his own state the finest in
the Union, and his town the best place
in which to live has not reached the
same celestial plane of joy and pa
triotism as the foreigner, who thinks
his little wind-swept bog is the happi-
est spot in the happiest land the good
God ever made. This is the love of
country that glorifies a land and the
people that inhabit it. This is what
makes every hill and valley, every
rock and rill, the most beautiful in the
world, because it is ours, made sacred
and beautiful by the memories woven
around it.-EXchange.

fire is estimated at 81, 800.
