ADVICE GIVEN
TO PARENTS BY
COL. HASBROUCK

Salt Lake, Sept. 12.-Col. Alfred
Hasbrouck. commanding Fort Doug
las, says mothers should not forget
that their daughters who keep COM
pany with soldiers should be chaper-
oned, and prophecies should not be
overlooked any more than with young
men who are not in uniform. Crowds
Of young women visit the post, the
colonel says, and there is no telling
who are and who are not relatives
of the soldiers. While strongly in
dorsing the advice that mothers
should at all times know where their
daughters are, he maintains that 1t
is unfair to say that soldiers are
worse than civilians. The men at
Fort Douglas" he says, will aver
age up with any other crowd of men,
either civilians or military. The
garrison is made up of men who are
from the best families Of the United
States. They are here from patriot
ic motives and 1t is an unjust thing
to pick out few that do forget their
duty and brand the whole army by
those that overstep. for there are men
in every walk of life who are not
ideal"

NO DETAILS OF NORTH
 SEA NAVAL BATTLE Ensas ement Was Fought in a Nigh{ of Pitchy Blackness.

London, Jan. A, 5.20 D. m.-The lat est reports received in naval circles from the naval action in the North sea serve only to confirm the official announcement of the admiralty. It is not considered likely that many de- tails will be added to the official re- port, as the battle was fought in a night of pitchy blackness. Naval of f1cers are surprised that an engage ment was possible under those cir cumstances and point ouI that, as the combatants carried no lights, accur- ate gunnery must have been exceed Ingly difficult.
 The theory that the German de- stroyers were driven from Zeebrugge by ice, is not given much credence by naval officers who declare it is not even certain that the German f1otilla came from that Belgian port
 The bow of the British destroyer lost in the engagement was complete ly carried away by a German torpedo and, since it was considered impossi- ble to tow her to port, she was sunk as, if she were left at1oat, she might become a menace to other units of the British fotilla.

How to Be Rid of
 Disgusting Dandruff

The only way to be permanently rid of disgusting, untidy 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 dandruff 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 absor bed 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 to beauty by this simple process, which is absolutely harmless, and will not stain the hair or make it greasy.
 Parisian Sage can be obtained from Lee & Osgood Go. and druggists everywhere. It is not expensive.

Powers, of the Universal Film Manufacturing Com pany, who was a witness today before the state legislative committee which is considering the question of whether the motion picture business should be taxed.
 "I know of three stars who will this year make more money than will be split up by the entire moving pie ture industry" MT. Powers declared.
 Don't the stars, in many cases, share in the profits in addition to their salaries 9 asked a member of the com mittee.
 "No," said Mr. Powers, they take no chances. We take it all.''
 Asked for definition of star. he replied:
 chestra seats have to be moved out"
 MT. Powers said his company had endeavored to eliminate the stars and to rely upon the picture and the story, think we shall have to bo gack to the stars"
 Every picture is speculation" MT. Powers said. There is no telling in advance how much it will cost nor how it will be received by the public. He mentioned one picture as having cost $2O0, 900.
 About 50 per cent of the film nega- lives made in this country are sent to Europe and a few to South America as an experiment. the witness said.

GERMANY CAN CARRY ON
 WAR FOR SEVERAL YEARS Has Sufficient Available Troops Losses Thus Far 100000 Men.

Berlin, Jan. 24 (By Wireless to Say vilIe). Estimating the total German
 losses in the war at about 100000, the National Zeitung of Berlin. says there are available sufficient troops to carry on the war for several years. The newspaper gives available figures of casualties and continues:
 ''The first impression obtained from these lists is that the number of dead is relativesly small in view or the fact that so many powerful offensive cam paigns have been undertaken as well as the defensive actions, of unheard- of difficulties, such as that of the Somme. This shows that the Ger mans are more sparing of their forces than ever before.
 Nevertheless, they mean enormous bleeding of the nations body: but it is not so great but that Germany will eral years. If the total losses are cal culated at about two million, the Ger man reserves would still number r. O0O, ,O00 out of the 9,00O,0G0 with which hand large numbers of young men have reached the age of military ser vice during the war. According to conservative calculations, Germany has had in this way an addition of 1,- 500, 900 to her forces"
 The National Zeitung says that if the soldiers who have passed the age limit for military service have been r0ldln0d W1In the cOIOTS lIlG net lOSS as a result of the war thus far would be perhaps 650.00O, or at the most 1,- 009,00O, and continues:
 Germany still has at least 8.000,000 men to use on the front or for the navy and therefore we do not over state the case in pointing out that Germany by comparison with the for mer date (date not given) has much larger number of men on the front. For long time to come it cannot be expected that bv any pos sIbility the compulsory military ser vice will break down provided the diff faculties of alimentation do not be- come so great that the soldiers on the front also have to suffer for them.
