Washington, July 10-Secret inves-
tigation by government agents has
disclosed the existence of a great con-
spiracy to destroy or hinder shipping
on the Great Lakes and thereby delay
the organization of American war
armies and check the flow of food
and munitions material from the
Western States to the Atlantic coast.
Noconspirators havebeencaptured
and the identity of none has been
made public, but 1t was learned to-
day, that the State, Navy and JUS
tice departments are cooperating to
bring the offenders to punishment.
and the Canadian Government will
be called upon for help.
This plot, engineered BY Germans.
assisted by sympathizing American
citizens. is believed to have been re-
sponsible for the succession Of "sc-
cidents' to Lake shipping. especially
in the neighborhood Of the Sault Ste
Marie canal, which began about .
month ago. The steamers Saxonia
and Pentacost Mitchell were sunk ut
the mouth Of the 500 river with the
evident intention Of blocking the
channel. Then there Was the sinking,
Of the steamer Venetian Maid In the
Detroit river. with the loss Of one
life, and later came ~ attempt to
dynamite the steamer Mackinss.
The Kasaga II was blown up and
burned. and the Jay Dee LII and the
Niagara had their machinery wreck
ed. All Of these vessels had been or
were able to be taken over BY the
Nsvy Department and investigations
have tended to the conclusion that
what were believed to have been the
cause Of the accidents were the acts
Of the conspirators seeking to ham
per the government in the prosecu-
ton nf the war.
The investigation has made it GER
tain that some Of the acts Of sabe-
tage committed upon American ship
ping and displacement Of channel
buoys and tampering with canal locks
have been done by persons who
found refuge when pursued behind
the numerous islands in the narrow
waterways on the Canadian side Of
the boundary.

SAVE YOUR HAIR AND bEAU1|FY IT
 WITH "DANDER|NE''
Spend 25 Cents! Dandruff Disap- pears and Hair Stops Com
 ing Out.
Try This! Hair Gets Beautiful. Wayy
 and Thick in Few Moments.

If you care for heavy hair, that glistens with beauty and is radiant with life: has an incomparable soft ness and is fluffy and lu'strous, try Danderine.
 Just one application doubles tho beauty of your hair besides it inn mediately dissolves every particle of dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy, healthy hair if you have dan druff. This destructive scurf robs the hair of it's lustre, its strength and it's very life, and if not overcome it produces a feverishness and iching of the scalp; the hair roots famish, loosen and die; then the hair falls out fast.
 If your hair has been neglected and is thin, faded, dry. scraggy or too oily, get 25-cent bottle oi Knowl- toms Danderine at any drug store or toilet counter; apply little as d1rect- cd and 10 minutes after you will say this was the best investment you ever made.
 We sincerely believe, regardless of everything else advertised, that If you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful hair and lots of it--no dandruff-no itching scalp and no more falling hair-you must use knowlton's Danderine. If eventually-why not now? Advt.

LICHT.HEARTED WOMEN

A cheerful, light-hearted woman is the joy of mans life. Beauty will fade, good figure will change. but the charm of healt hand cheerfulness will endure to the end. But how can a woman be cheerful and happy when dragged down by some female de- rangement, with a backache, head ache, and often on the verge of a nervous breakdown?
 Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound is the standard remedy for such ailments. During the last 40 years thousands of homes have been made happy by this woman's great remedy for woman's ills. (Advt.)

There is no handsomer combination and none more fashionable than velvet with Georgette crepe and this gown shows it with firish of little braided border that is exceedingly attractive. The skirt is made in two pieces gath. cred at the top and the upper and lower sections are joined on pointed outlines. 1t is very handsome CO.'S tune, yet it means very little labor. The blouse is plain one and the over bodice is the simplest thing in the world to make. There are no more fashionable materials than the two suggested but you could utilize the idea in many ways. Serge could be used with taffeta or with charmeuse satin, or charmeuse could be used with crepe de chine ot you could make the entire skirt and the under blouse of one material and the over-bodice of another. The simrli6ed Greek fret that is used as border it is good for soutache braid or for beads or for French knots. If the velvet were black, it would be handsome outlined with jet beads for jet is being exten- sively used this season. Gray velvet would be smart and beautiful with steel beads.
 For the medium size the blouse will require, 5 yards of material 27 inches wide, 17a yards 36, 15 yards A and for the over bodice, 2l2 yards 27, 1A yards 36, I12 yards A. For the skirt will be needed, 3H yards 27, 2 yards 36, I34 yards A for the upper portion, 5A yards 27, 32 yards 3o, PA yards A for the lower portion; it is 3s4 yards in width at the lower edge.
 The May Manton pattern of the blouse No. 9I95 is cut in sizes from 34 to AZ inches bust measure and of the skirt No. 92o3 in sizes from A to 30 inches waist measure. They will be. mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on receipt of fifteen cents for each.

 and the Hairs Vanish

Any woman can keep her skin free from unsightly hair or fuzz if she will follow these simple instructions: :: When hairy growths appear, apply a simple paste, made by mixing some water with powdered delatone. Ap- ply this to hairy surface and after 2 or 3 minutes, rub off, wash the skin and the hairs are gone. This is a harmless treatment, but be sure you get the real delatone. (AdvtO
