YOU CAN'T FIND ANY
DANDRUFF, AND HAIR
STOPS COMING OUT
Save your hair! Make it thick, wavy,
glossy and beautiful at
once.

Try as you will, after an applica;;
ton 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 a few weeks use, when you see
new hair, fine and downy at first
yes-but really new hair-growlng
all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty Of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle
and scraggy, just moisten elotn
with Danderine and carefully draw
it through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time. The effect
is immediate and amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and
have an appearance Of abundance
an Incompatible lustre, softness anc
luxurlance, the beauty and shlmme.
of true hair health. ,
Get 25-cent bottle OF knoWlton'
Danderine from any drug store o
toilet counter, and prove that you
hair is as pretty and soft as any
! that it has been neglected or lnJure
| bv careless treatment. A 25-cen
bottle will be double the beauty o
your hair. --

Reports From War Relief Organi-
cations
That the channels for the distribu-
ton Of war relief funds are open as
formerly, Notwithstanding the break
with Germany, and that they are ex-
pected to remain open, is the report
made by the war relief organizations,
according to statement made by
the Federal Council of the Churches
of Christ in America, which, since
the early part of the war, has con-
Educted a campaign to stimulate war
relief gifts, especially through the
churches of the country, to the vari-
Gus relief committees. Inquiries from
rious relief committees. kaahETET
all parts of the country, it is said,
show that many are overlooking the
fact that gifts for war relief are
chiefly in the form of cash and that
this is sent by cable and wireless:
The American committee for Ar
menian and Syrian relief reports that
nearly all it's aid is financial and is
sent by cable and that funds are sent
uninterrruptedly to Armentans in
side and outside Of Turkey. The
| American Red Cross continues lts
work without change in most of the
warning countries. The B. F. B. per-
manent blind relief war fund says
there is no slackening in work nor in
receipt of funds, nor in remittances
to the other side. The commission
for relief in Belgium says that the
latest cables confirm earlier reports
that the work for Belgian relief is
continuing and is expected to con-
tinue. The fund for starving children
states that funds go as
formerly to children in Po'
land, Belgium, Armenia and 9th
er countries. The joint distributor
committee, representing three Jewish
relief committees, renorts that the
work of collection and distributioI
is practically normal. The Polish
victims relief fund continues with
out interruption to send funds to
Poland by way of Switzerland. The
work of the Serbian relief committee
proceeds without change. The same
situation applies to the work of the

/, WORLD SCARCITY OF
FOODSTUFFS AND THE
LESSON FOR THE SOUTH
Manufacturers Record.

Manufacturers Record.
Whether there be war or peace
between this country and Germany,
whether war be continued in Europe
Tor another year or two, or whether
peace should come, the demand for
food stuffs will exceed the supply,
both in this country and abroad.
The shortage in the worlds food
crops last year, taken in connection
with conditions created by the war,
brings US nearer a famine situation
TN foodstuffs than the world has
known in this generation. If the
crops of this country should, by I'M
favorable weather conditions or bv
a lessened acreage, be short of a
full acreage yield, We would have
almost fantrb conditions, because
we will go into the next crop prac-
tlcally barren of food supplies.
Nothing less than a bumper crop
of grain will save US from ax0rhitant-
ly high prices for wheat and corn
next winter. 1t is important that
the whole country should understand
this situation, but it is doubly
important that the farmers of the
South should understand it and plant
the largest acreage in grain which
they have ever had in order to save
themselves from having to pay the
highest prices they have ever paid
for their foodstuffs.
j Every business man in the South
should do all in his power to urge
upon Southern farmers the planting
of grain and the raising foodstuffs
of all kinds this spring and summer
1t is hardly possible to predict
what may happen to cotton. The
price, judged by the worlds demand
ought to be high, but in view of the
uncertainties of conditions here ant
elsewhere, large cotton crop Nigh
prove a misfortune by forcing price
} below a fair profit.
The South night raise too big
cotton crop for it's own prosperity
but it cannot raise too big a grail
crop nor too much livestock. Ever
available acre should be put into tn
: raising of foodstuffs, into grain, in
s to vegetables, potatoes, and as niue
attention as possible should be Civ
: en- to livestock, and even to the rails
+ ing of chickens and to dairying, fo
the purpose of meeting the home dc
y mand for foodstuffs.
g It will be almost a crime for an
e Southern farmer not to provide, dul
\ ing the coming spring and summe
II for all the foodstuffs which his fan
r. lily will need for the next twel,
i months. Anything short of tn;
N would be ignoring every col
T dition which this country and tt
]. world confronts in the lack Of foo
Ie stuffs, and in the certainty of hig

WORK OF GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The House passed Friday the mum
nicipal bill providing machinery for
city government under the constitu-
tional amendments. The House ia
bled a bill by Raw of Chatham for
two emergency judges. The Senate
passed bill to prohibit liquor adver-
tisements in this State; the Tor

derson and Madison counties.
The McNider custer bill passed to
apply to a number of counties in
Guiding Buncombe, New Hanover,
Brunswick, Robson and Mecklen-
burg.
Bills to amend the constitution
passed the Senate Friday in rapid
succession, subject to ratification by
the people. They were the Scales
bill for initiative and referendum; the
Governor Beckett measure to exempt
from taxation notes and mortgages
to the amount of $4,000 when given
for purchase of farm homes, and the
Oates bill to amend the constitution
to assure six months schools for ev-
cry county. One other, that to limit
State officers to two successive terms
of office and county officers to three
terms, another Governor Beckett prop

for 100000 bonds for a new court
