Girls! Beauty Your Hair! Make II
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 a 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 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 Advantageous hair will
be light. fluffy and wavy, and have an
appearance of abundance; an incom-
parable luster, sOctness and luXuri-
ance, the beauty and simmer of true
hair health.
Get a % cent bottle of KnowltOn's
Danderine from any store and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any-that if has been neglected OF
injured by careless treatment-that's
all. Adv.

they have warned us they will feel at

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
-Give me a small bottle of freezone."
This viii cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
cailus, root and all. dries up and can
be lifted off with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment. and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating the
surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him TO order a small bottle from
his wholesale drug house for yOu.--adv
Mount Vernon signal. (Mt. Vernon, Ky.) 18??-current, 1917-02-09

I'm reply to this declaration the I'M
perial German Government gave this
Government the following assurance:
1.-The German Government is pre-
pared to do it's utmost to confine the
operations of war for the rest of its
duration 20 the fighting forces of the
belligerents, thereby also insuring the
freedom of the seas, principle upon
which the German Government be-
lieves now, as before, to be in agree
ment with the Government of the
United States.
1.-The German Government, guided
by this idea, notifies the Government
of the United States that the German
naval forces have received the follow
ing orders: In accordance with the
general principles of visit and search
and destruction of merchant vessels
recognized by international law, such
vessels, both within and without the
area declared a naval war zone, shall
not be sunk without warning and
without saving human lives, unless
these ships attempt to escape or offer
resistance.
But it added, 'neutrals can not
expect that Germany, forced to fight
for her existence, shall, for the sake
of neutral interest restrict the use of
an effective weapon if her enemy is
permitted to continue to apply at will
methods of warfare violating the rules
of international law. Such a demand
would be incompatible with the char.
acter of neutrality, and the German
Government is convinced that the
Government of the United States does
not think of making such a demand
Mount Vernon signal. (Mt. Vernon, Ky.) 18??-current, 1917-02-09

nounced to this Government and to the
Governments of the other neutral ma
tions that on and after the first day
of February, the present month, it
would adopt a policy with regard to
the use of submarines against all
shipping seeking to pass through GER
tain designated areas of the high seas,
to which it is truly my duty to call
your attention.
Let me remind the Congress on the
eighth of April, last, in view of the
sinking on the twentyfourth of March
of the cross channel passenger steam
er Sussex, by a German submarine,
without summons or warning and the
consequent loss of the lives of several
citizens of the United States who were
passengers aboard her, this Govern
ment addressed a note to the Imperial
German Government in which it made
the following declaration:
eff it is still the purpose of the I'm.
perial Government to prosecute relent-
less and indiscriminate warfare
against vessels of commerce by the
use of submarines without regard to
what the Government of the United
States must consider the sacred and
indisputable rules of International law
and the universally recognized die.
tates of humanity, the Government OF
/ the United States is at last forced to
the conclusion that there is but one
course it can pursue. Unless the I'm
/ perial Government should now immedi.
! ately declare and effect an abandon.
ment of its present methods of sub
marine warfare against passenger and
freight carrying vessels, the Govern
ment of the United States can have nc
choice but to sever diplomatic rela
tons with the German Empire alto
gether'

WILSON GIVEN ASSURANCE
dent Regarding Raising of Reve-
nue. in Case of Hostilities.

Washington. - Senator Simmons,
chairman of the senate finance COM
mittee, was summoned to the White
House and conferred with President
Wilson on means of raising sufficient
revenue in case of hostilities with Ger
many. Senator Simmons assured the
President that Congress would move
promptly whenever money is needed,
and that there would be no opposi-
ton to any reasonable requests from
the Government.
The President did not ask the Sena-
tor to take any immediate steps, and
told him nothing had occurred so far
necessitating the raising of additional
revenue.
