Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruf. It robs the hair
of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine

 PREPARES ID
 FEED PEOPLE

ZURICH, Switzerland, May 2.-The canton of Zurich has decided to lead the way for the rest of Switzerland and, in pursuance of the orders of the Bundesrat, to increase the agri- cultural production of the country resorted to radical measures to feed the population.
 It's government council has decreed that the district councils must with out delay take the following steps looking for a record harvest:
 Institute gatherings of both men and women at which the necessity of increased crops, especially of grain, vegetables, and particularly potatoes. shall be discussed, and at which the best ways and means to this end for each district shall be pointed out.
 Report the acreage available for cul- tivation and, wherever seed and labor are at hand. begin planting and culti- vation at once.
 Require all land owners to put at least 10 per cent of it to potatoes, summer grain or vegetables and t. provide, at least. for their own needs.
 Draw upon families who possess no land to till the land of others. Con fiscate. if necessary, land not volun- tarily put under cultivation and till it with the landless families.
 The districts are authorized to draw forcibly. if necessary, upon the labor required to gather harvests in each section, and to contiscate for the time being draught animals for az ricultural purposes.
 Finally, the school authorities are required to release pupils from school duties whenever they may be requir- ed to fight insect or vegetable pests.
 The councils provisions carry pen alties of fines amounting to 5000 francs, or three months imprson- ment, for violation of its regulations.
 Other cantons are expected to fol low Zurichs example. The whole country is awaking to the fact that it is in a position where self help may be the only thing that can be relied on
 Switzerland has only the port of Cette through which needed imports may be brought. The Bundesrat has vainly tried to find some second port, either in or out of the blockaded zone, through which it can ration it. self There has been a vast amount of discussion recently about Swiss Merchant Marine but it has been realized that, even if that be possl- ble, it cannot be created in the turn of a hand Switzerland is now con vinced that it must prepare to sup port itself in a very large degree.

NOME MAY GET
 APPROPRIATION

WASHINGTON, D. C.. May B. Included in the recommendations submitted to congress by the war de partment is an appropriation of $105,000 for improvements on the Nome, Alaska, harbor and also an item of $15,00O for work to be done at the mouth of the Yukon river. It is thought that both items will be retained in the bill, which calls for a total of $3O,00OOO0, which is the total of the work that is considered necessary for the safety of the coun- try's waterways and harbors by the army engineers who made the esti- mated surveys.

 Among other things stated Is that the Cliff House, the famous resort at the entrance of San Francisco bay, is closed to all traffic and to visitors. The street cars which for merly ran out from San Francisco in that direction have been stopped. and nobody is allowed to go there. The Presido is also declared to be in the war zone

 The high rise In all kinds of prlc- es is also noted by Mrs. Smith. At the time that the letter was written, or on April 15 cotton had taken an advance of SS per bale and cotton goods were advancing in price ac- cordingly.
 The list of prices stated in Mrs. Smiths letter shows that practical ly everything in California is selling at higher prices than in Fairbanks. Sugar sells at ten cents per pound, while potatoes are selling at six cents per pound.
