Gentlemen:
| wish to call your attention to

GAS, DYSPEPSIA .

"Pape's Diapepsin" settles sour,
gassy stomachs in five.
= minuteS-Time it!

You don't want a slow remedy when
your stomach is bad-or an uncertain
one-or harmful one-your stomach
Is too valuable; you mustn't injure it.
Pape's Diapepsin is noted for it's
speed in giving relief; its harmless
ness; it's certain unfailing action in
regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
its millions of cures in indigestion,
dyspepsia, gastritis and other stomach
trouble has made it famous the world
over.
Keep this perfect stomach doctor in
your home-keep it handy-get large
6fty-cent case from any dealer. and
then if anyone should eat something
which doesn't agree with them; II
what they eat lays like lead, ferments
and sours and forms gas; causes head
ache, dizziness and nausea; .eructa-
tions of acid and undigested food
remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin
comes in contact with the stomach all
such distress vanishes. It's prompt
ness, certainty and ease in overcoming
the worst stomach disorders is reve'
lation to those who try it.-Adv.

Girls! Beautify Your Hair! Make 1t
Soft, Fluffy and Luxuriant-Try
the Moist Cloth.

Try as you will, after an application
Of Danderine, you cannot 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 f1rst-yes-but real

scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No differ
ence how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is i'm
mediate and amazing-your hair will
be light, fluffy and wavy, and have an
appearance Of abundance; an incOm-
parable luster, softness and luxuri-
ance, the beauty and simmer Of true
hair health.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that it has been neglected OF
injured by careless treatment-that's
all. Adv.

Wilson Sworn In as President.

Washington, March 5.-With prepa-
rations complete for the formal inaug-
uration today, Woodrow Wilson was
sworn in as twenty-ninth President Of
the United States at 1904 p. m. Sun
day. He will take the oath again to-
day. Chief Justice white of the
United States Supreme Court admin
istered the oath which started the
President on his second term of four
years. The ceremony took place in
the Presidents room at the capitol
and was marked by it's simplicity.

Washington, March 6.-President
Wilson, having proclaimed to the
world in his second inaugural ad-
dress the principles that will guide
the United States if it becomes In
volved in the world war, is consider
ing what steps he will take to protect
Americans and American ships from
the German submarine menace. The
question of arming American ships to
repel submarine attacks, notwith-
standing the failure of Congress to
confer upon the President this spe-
cific authority, will be discussed and
possibly decided by President Wilson
and his cabinet. Attorney General
Gregory has given the President an
offhand opinion that the executive
possesses the authority in his own
right to supply American ships with
defensive armament and that the al
most forgotten statute of 1919, provld-
ing that American merchantmen might
defend themselves from attacks by
any vessels except the warships OF a
friendly power, creates no bar to the
provision of defense against German
submarines.
Cabinet members contend that Ger
man submarines are now guilty OF pl-
ratical attacks on American ships,
whereas the statute of 1919 contem-
plated that the warships of friendly
powers would observe the rules OF
maritime warfare. The prohibition OF
defense against warships, therefore, is
said not to apply to German sub
marines.
Upon the decision of the Cabinet on
the arming of American merchantmen
will depend to a large extent the Presl-
dents conclusion as to the necessity
of calling an extra session OF Con-
gress. If the President. decides to pro-
ceed on his own authority he will be
disposed to postpone a summons OF
the new Congress pending his effort
to establish a cloture rule in the Sen
ate preventing a repetition of the fill
buster which killed the armed neu-
trality bill.

China Votes to Break With Kaiser

Peking, March 5-The cabinet de-
cided that China should join the Unit
ed States in breaking off relations
with Germany. This decision was
submitted to the President, who re-
fused to approve the cabinets action,
saying such power rested entirely
with him. Premier Tuan Chi Jul i'm
mediately resigned and left for Tien
Tsin, accompanied by several other
members of the cabinet. The resigna-
ton of the entire cabinet is expected.
Parliament virtually is unanimous in
favor of the opinion of the cabinet.
The leaders of all. the political parties
are adversely criticising the Presi-
dents position. The vice president of
the republic supports the action of the
cabinet.

MOVIE ACTRESSES AND
THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has
lovely hair, while the most popular
count their curls as their chief
beauty? In fact, many are leading
ladies just because of their attrac-
tive locks. Inquiry among them dis
closes the fact that they bring out
all the natural beauty OF their hair
by careful shampooing, not with any
soap or makeshift, but with simple
mixture by putting tcaspoonful Of
canthrox (Which they get from the
druggist) in a cup of hot water and
applying this instead of soap. This
full cup of shampoo liquid is enough
so it is easy to apply it to all the hair
instead of just the top of the head.
After its use, the hair dries rapidly
with uniform color. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entire
ly disappear. The hair is so fluffy
that it looks much heavier than it is,
while its luster and softness is de-
lightful.-Adv.
