Within ten minutes after an application of, Danderine you can not find a single trace of dandruff or falling hair and your scalp will not itch, but what will please you most will be after few weeks use, when you see new hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but really new hair-grow- ing all over the scalp.

 A little Danderine immediately doubles the beauty of your hair. No difference how dull, faded, brittle and scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Danderine and care fully draw it through your hair. taking one small strand at a tilne The effect is amazing-your hair will be light fluffy and wavy, and have an appearance of abundance; an incomparable lustre. soft ness and luxuriance.

 In lieu of so hazardous step, may the profound wisdom and courageous patriot ism of our twice preferred President, in the exercise of his humane and pacific tendency. find an honorable way to arrest the warning nations, and bring out of the devastating strife an endurig peace without victory"
 To quickly and effectually accomplish this very much desired end we should cease shipping war munitions. Appsr- ently, action otherwise is beyond the pale and passage of national and equitable dis cussion. We should promptly and stead fastly turn away from the idea-the per nicious practice of selling the direct means of carrying on the wicked, wither- ing waste of war, for a price, Abhor price, and it's resultant wealth accumu- lation, which places a blemish on the Christian civilization that has been our proud boast. and characterized our best citizenship since the birth of our liberty loving, peace preferring government.

Skating From Scientific Standpoint

O. D. von Engeln in Harper 8 Magazine.
 Why is it that steel skates glide so readily over an ice surface? The struc- ture of the ice as detailed above does not explain this phenomenon. Nor does thiS mode of Iocomotion depend on the smooth ness of the ice-sheet Glass may be had with very smooth surface. but it would be very poor stuff to skate on if avail able. The sport of ice-skating depends on the fact that water expands on freez- ing; for, since ice is of greater bulk than water, any force that tends to reduce it's bulk will also tend to change 1t back to water. As the whole weight of the skater rests with each stroke on the marrow. sharp edge of his skate. 1t fol- lows that a quite large pressure is ex- erted on a very small area of the ice surface. The result is that the ice melts and tie skater giides forward on a film of wster of the width of a. pencil-line
 which immediately refreezes after the skate edge has passed. The colder the ice the greater must be the pressure to bring it to the melting point, hence the fact that on very cold ice it is difficult to make the skates bite In any event
