SAVE ! D j R HAIR
AND BEAUT|FY IT
WITH 'DANDER|NE'
SpEND IS CENTS! DANDRUFF DIS.
APPEARS AND HAIR STOPS
COMING OUT.
TRY THIS! HAIR GETS 5EAUTl-
Full, WAVY AND THICK IN
FEW MOMENTS.

If YOU care for heavy hair, that
giStens with beauty and is radiant
with life: has an incompatible soft.
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty Of your hair. besides it immed'
lately dtssolves every particle OF dand-
ruff: YOU cannot have nice, heavy.
healthy hair il YOU have dandrutf. This
destructive scurf robs the hair OF its
lustre. its strength and its very life,
and il not overcome it produces few
erishness and itching 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 a 25-cent bottle of knowltOn's Dan
derine at any drug store or toilet coun-
ter; apply little as directed and ten
minutes after you will say 1t 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. II

President generally believed that an
official endorsement Of his action
! from the Senate would be advisable.
Senator Hitchcock will confer with
, the chairman of the foreign relations
on the matter again tomor-

II will then be determined whether
to press for immediate action or to

President, 1t was learned. discussed
many phases Of foreign problems with
Senator Stone, including the Mexican
situation.
Clause Explained.
During the day an explanation was
obtained from official sources OF the
previously mysterious clause in the
note from Spain to he United States
referring to another communication"
from the American government suS-
costing that the time was opportune
for Spain 10 cooperate with the
United States.
IT was learned authorltatively that no
note was sent to neutral nations hut
that in forwarding copies Of the Prrsi-
dents suggestions to the belligerents,
tho State Department instructed Ameri-
can diplomats in the neutral capitals TO
Intimate to the governments to which
they were accredited that in case they
wore considering A move similar to that
Of the United States, the American gov
eminent considered the time opportune.
1t was stated emphatically that i'll
making this move the United States
had no intention Of urging neutral ma
lions to aot, or to set on foot II move
ment for an entente Of neutral nations.
In explanation Of this point it WAS
stated the primary puurpose' of the
Presidents note to the bclliE"rcnts was
to clear the atmosphere on the. big
questions relating to the war. and that
in this connection tho American gov
eminent thought It would h" helpful II

S. FOR POUND OF SUGAR.
First 100 Pounds Made Will be Sold
for Red Cross. Iowa Beet Sugar
Factory Begins Manu-
facture.

Mason City, Ia, Nov. 12.-Prob-
ably the highest price ever paid for
100 pounds of sugar will be the rec
ord of the first 100 pounds of beet
sugar made by the Northern Sugar
company of this city. B. A. Plum
mer, a banker of Forest City, offer
ed SIS for the first 100 pounds of
the manufacture of the Northern
Sugar company, the money to go to
the Red Cross.
The Globe Gazette seeing an OPP
portunity to cash in goodly sum for
the local Red Cross association, took
the bankers bid and asked for other
bidders, and up to date there has
been bid $3.50 for this sack of sugar.
The bids close Saturday. and it is es-
timated that at least $500 will be
bid for the first sack, or at the rate
of SIS pound, which is pretty stiff
rate in these Hoover days.
The Northern Sugar company's
plant here began operations this
week The company has just com
pleted its $1,250,000 plant, with a
maximum capacity of 1,500 tons of
beets per day, or an equivalent of
$50 tons of sugar. The plant en-
ploys five hundred workmen in the
various departments and will run
steadily for one hundred to two hun
dred and twenty DAYS.
The beet crop in this vicinity is
abundant enough to keep the factory
running steadily during that time.
The beets grown in this county and
adjacent counties are of exception
ALLY good sugar contents this year
and are averaging more than the US
ual 225 pounds per ton. The location
of this plant has brought il the past
summer 1000 people who have been
placed on the various farms to raise
beets, and this labor is absorbed by
the plant and factories in the city
during the winter. The plant has its
warehouse capacity of 100000
pounds of sugar, but the demand is
so great that scarcely any of this will
reach the warehouse but will be
shipped Immediately to dealers and
wholesalers on government orders,
The plant is one of the largest beet
sugar factories in the United States
and acknowledged to be one of the
most perfect of its kind in the world.

Garbage for the Hogs.

More than three-quarters of mil
lion pounds of pork could be produc-
ed from the garbage that will ac-
crue il a year at the cantonment at
Camp Dodge. This calculation is bas-
ed on feeding experiment conduct
ed by the agricultural experiment
station at Iowa State college.
The experiment has been carried
on at Ames with pigs fed from gar
bage from the College Inn cafeteria
where the tendency is to order and
eat closely. The experiment shows
that the garbage from IL people will
feed a pig. On the garbage from
these II persons each average 100
lb. pig made a daily gain OF about
a pound. The garbage produced by
one person a day was approximately
Ia pounds. Five pigs ate on the av-
erage of 1866 lbs. of garbage, 23.44
lbs being offered.
To produce 100 pounds of gain IL
required total offering of PASS lbs
of garbage, 2,O96 being consumed
AS near as can be figured it takes s
to 10 pounds of garbage to equal a
pound of grain On this basis the con-
Torment at Des Moines that houses
$4,000 soldiers should yield $4,000
lbs. of garbage daily. This will yield
about a9o or about 1900 lbs. OF
grease or about 100000 lbs. of valu-
able fat a year worth 13c Id. or
worth $4,000 year. And the gar
bage that remains is practically as
valuble as the original whole gar
bage. Allowing 5000 pounds of gar
bage for 100 pounds gain, 21OO
pounds of pork daily could be pro-
duced from the waste material at
the cantonment.
