the Belgian question in the reichstag

the Progressive party declared that
the annexation of Belgium must be re-
garded as an accomplished fact and
that discussion concerning it was un
deSira BILE He declared that the exist

state would mean a lasting war men
ace and complete restoration of pre-
war conditions would involve serious
danger.
A center speaker said that the lead
ers of the Flemish people consider it
would be dangerous for Belgium to
come under the old dynasty.
A conservative deputy considered
that the whole question was whether
the coast of Flanders was to come
under German or English influence
The minister of the interior paid
tribute to the work of General Won
Kissing, late governor general of Bel
GUM which he said would be con-
tinued energetically, the administra-

submitted to congress by Secretary of

come out of this food bill fight is some
drastic law to prevent spectators
from eXtorting high prices from the

anti-speculative bill and member of
the agriculture committee, said today.
THE only question is how drastic,
it will be. We are urging the farmer
to increase production, but we can't
expect him to enthuse much when the
SPECTATOR is fixing the prices in order
to hold up the public"
That the senate is in the mood for
violent action along this line has been
assured by outbursts from every cor

days.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair,
fine and downy at first-yes-but real
ly new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an Incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance.
Get small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injur-
ed by careless treatment-that's all
you surely can have beautiful hair and
lots of it if you will just try little
Danderine.
