beautiful. glossy. silky hair. do by all

To do this, get about four ounces Of

your dandruf will be gone, and three
or four more applications will com
pletely dissolve and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it,
You will find. too, that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop,
and your hair viii look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get IL

you will need. no matter how much
dandruff YOU have. This simple rem

DIR. COOKE ONCE MORE.

Nx7E publish today the details OF another farcical
wv proceeding held in Wesley NJ. r. Church at
Linden and streets this city last night un-
der the auspices Of the Rev DR. George Cooke, the
pastor
Space is given TO his uuerouces not because we
think they are worth the paper thoy cover but be-
cause there is desire our part TO prevent him
from laying what he says is his case before the
public.
The best possible reply to everything he says is
found in the fact that the ecclesiastical jury which
sat in the persecution of Clayton l.. Grew trustee
OF the church. returned unanimous verdict in favor
OF Grew and. automatically. against Dr. Cooke and
his limited number OF followers. That jury was COM
posed Of seven lay members selected by Or. Cooke
from FIVE different Methodist Episcopal Churches in
this city and its immediate nelghborhood. 1t
reached verdict OF acquttal OF Mr. Crew fifteen
minutes after it had retired.
smarting under such stngng rebuke and APP
parenty fearful OF his future this conference Dr.
Cooke. several days ago, announced that he would
seek "a vndication" He challenged Mr. Crew. Caleb
g. Burchenal Crews counsel; the Rev. Dr. Robert
watt Superintendent of the Wilmington District; the
Rev r. H. Dashie secretary OF the Retired Minis
ters' Endowment Fund OF the Wilmington NJ. D. Con-
Nference; the Rev George White Dawson pastor Of
Asbury NJ. f. Church and the editor OF THE EVEN
ING JOURNAL TO appear in Wesley Church last
night In addition he issued general invitation "to
Methodist ministers ana Mehodlst people 10 attend
this meeting"
Wen, the meeting has been held Not OF those
specially invited deemed It worth while to attend
Not Methodist preacher in the conference accepted
his invitation to be spectator In the face OF the
fact that Wesley has a membership OF 100, the entire
attendance last night including Or. Cooke and three
reporters. twenty or the sixteen outside the
agtated pastor and the reporters. it is safe
sumo that fully half were drawn by curiosity At
no time while DIR. Cooke speaking reading
there the slightest evidence Of sympathy from
any quarter for him.
Those are facts which speak for themselves. It is
not purpose to be drawn into any controversy
with Dr. Cooke, TO discuss again the Grew
trial and its dsgraceful features. The verdict in
that still stands for itself We imagine that the
members OF sorely-tried Wesley Church and OF the
Wilmington Conference will know how deal with
the situation in due time anS in the right way

tional policy Of the United States He
is probably as conscious o. this fact
as are his friends in the Senate. IT
is possible that his anxiety. and
theirs. for the adoption Of some such
vague expression Of approval as the
Hitchcock resolution affords is due
to the feeling of uneasiness which
comes from a sense OF promising
things which the prOmiser cannot
produce. A little backing from the
Senate, even If granted solely from
pardsanship, would be welcome at
the White House just now.
It seems proper to call the atten-
ton OF the President. and OF the pro-
mOters of the indorsing or apprOba-
tive resolution, to the circumstance
that what is required to give validity
to the Presidents plan to engage the
United States in an international
League to enforce peace and guaran-
tee territorial limits on both sides OF
the ocean is not merely major u
vote in the Senate. but two-thiids
vote of the Senators present.
Nothing short OF that can annul a
treaty declaration or make new
treaty engagement. Nothing short OF
that has anything Of more than aca-
demic interest with regard to the at
titude toward the Monroe Doctrine
which Mr. Wilson has precipitately
and. as We believe, without proper
consideration assumed
circumstances now easily conceivable
could President Wilson ever obtain
in the Senate of the United States
a two-thirds vote in favor Of conclud-
ing a treaty engagement TO send
American troops TO help enforce
peace in the Balkans or TO invite Ger
man or japanese troops TO help in
enforcing peace in Mexico, Nicaragua
or Venezuela.
such attempts. therefore, as this ia
attach by a mere plurality vote Of tht

apprehension in the mind OF any Sen
ator. however. it may eXasperate tho

MIR. McADOO'S REVISION UPWARD.

From the New York sun.
Secretary McAdoo's New Years Eve
statement should be the death war
rant for all pork bills at the present
session OF Congress and at several
sessions to come. The Secretary
whose earlier estimate of the deficit
facing the country was $1S5,5S3.0 900,
now declares that we must raise over
S379,000,00 in the fiscal year begin
ming June 80, 1917, and ending June
30, 1918. A hundred millions of this,
is necessary TO provide the Treasury
with a working balance.
The enormous sum mentioned by
Mr. McAdoo is computed entirely out
side the ordinary revenues and ex-
penditures Of the Government.
A large bond issue is made inevita-
bic, not by the size OF the prepared
ness program, as Mr.. McAdoo says
but by the low tariff policy of his
party and the careless exhaustion oil

items to be provided for are prin

OF $70,000,000 of bonds. 1t Is proper
to issue bonds for the purchase OF

tary McAdoo thinking OF when he rec

police expenses incurred on the Mex

The Alaskan Railway. the purchase
OF the Danish West indies, the i'll ad-

only S116,SSS.OO0. The sum Of S162.-
$4,000 for the border patrol and
100000 to provide the Treasury
with a working balance should be
raised by taxation

The Nome daily nugget., 1917-08-18

Gas is sent over in creeping banks fog, is shot over in bombs that sud denly explode m trenches and at en- frances to dugouts, while no blll or sleeping quarters for troops in rest miles back of the fighting line are safe from the gas shells which are ever knocking at their doors.
 The bitterness of it all to the Ger mans. however, is the fact that daily they find they have less and less rub Der with which to construct their gas masks, many of which are very in ferior and offer but poor protection to the fighting men against gases that constantly are becoming more power ful.
 Boiling and blazing oil drums which they find exploding about them in scaldng and incendiary fury heavy shells break over them squirting streams of melted lead, are other species of the dread chickens of frightfulness that are daily flying home to the German roost.
 It is small wonder that half finish ed letters found on Germans in the front lines dwell upon the terror of the war, or that some go so far as to speak desperate envy of the dead.

 l But above all the American sol l diers must equip themselves to en- dure the lethal gas that will be sent | over against them in poisonous, va perish clouds, or showered upon them l in deluge of heavily charged cylnd- CTS and shells. They must prepare | to deal also with the treacherous l lachrymatory gas which while not 1 dangerous to life irritates the tear l ducts until one cries with blinded, smarting eyes for hours.

 A notable development of the war has been the dread with which the Germans have seen weapons of their and turned with a steadily increas- ing intensity Their prisoners speak l nf hn hD l caused and declare the German high CT command is realizing all to late l the Frankensteins it brought into be- ing.

 Asphyxiating gas may be taken as
 a striking example. The whole world
 was shocked when Germany first re.
 leased those poison clouds during
 their second attack on Ypres when the
 allies, little suspecting such a wea-
 pon, had no protection whatever
 against it. The hrrbel days when men
 engulfed by the iethal waves died
 agonizng deaths will never be for
 gotten. But the manner in which the
 Canadian troops rallied and prevent
 ed the Germans breaking through in

 ever be one of the most thrilling
 stories of the world war. Nowadays
 the British fairly bathe the German
