Thin, brittle, colOrloss and scraggy
hair is mute evidence OF neglected
scalp; of dandruff--that awful
scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair Is dandruff. 1t robs the hair
Of its lustre, it's strength and its very
life; eventually producing fever
ishness 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 to-night--now-any
time-will surely save your hair.
Get small bottle Of Knowlton's q
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter. and after the first ap-
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre, and luXuriance which
is so beautiful. 1t will become wavy
and fluffy and have the appearance
of abundance, an Incompatible gloss
and softness; but what will please
you most will be after just few
weeks use, when you will actually
see lot of fine, downy hair--new
hair-growing all over the scalp. ad.

THE FARMERS SHOT AT
KAISERISM is MAXIMUM CROPS



2. Harrow, roll and .ulverize the
seed bed thoroughly before planting.
3. Use only thc best possible seed,
preferably pedigla I'll seed, from q re-
sponstble plant breeder.
4. Make liberal use Of fertilizers,
and use manure whenever obtainable
to supplement the fertilizers.
3. Give thorough and frequent ,cul
tivation to the titled crops, preferably
shallow and frequent cultivation
s. Harvest savingly and protect the
stored crops from pests.
While 1t is true that everything the
farmer has to buy Is high in price, 1t
is also true that whatever the farmer
has to sell is also high in price. The
fertilizer people figure out that their
products have not advanced in price
as much as the price Of crops, and that
as matter OF fact, cotton, corn, pea
nuts, tobacco and tho like will buy
more fortilixer now than ever. Which
being true it follows that it will pay
bstter now to use 1t than formerly,
for the increase for which they are re
sponsible will be worth more.
Another thing that the farmer must
bear in mind II he would be sure to
raise a bumper crop and that iS, to
place his orders early for everything
that Is to be shipped by rail. The
railroads are hard put to 1t and do
not afford assurance Of prompt ship
ments. Orders placed late are more
than likely to be too late to be deliv
cred in time.
Even. II shipping were good, there
would be nothing gained by delay.
Prices are not likely to be lower. In
fertilizers. especially there is a scare.
ity of materials and advancing prices,
making it improbable that the fertiliz
er will be cheaper.

THE chief causes are the war,
civil war and depreciation in the
value Of the ruble," she replied.
Forty months Of war has proved too
much for country so backward in
economic affairs and railway organi-
zation."
When asked for a detailed idea Of
the food scarcity, Nine. Smith-Fa
ner said that, the % central prov
inces which always import grain re-
ceived 400 car loads last month in
stead Of the required 5000. She
added that owing to the disorgan-
ized state of transportation there
would be further reduction and
that hunger was inevitable. There
is plenty of grain in Russia, she said,
but the peasants do not wish to sell
it because paper money is worthless.

reported from Petrograd to-day.
German troops were used to try to
stop the Wholesale determination be-

Russians. When the Germans tried
to clear the Russian trenches OF Aus

Revolt Probable in Austria.
Washington, Jan. 23.-The Rus
sian Bolsheviki is responsible for the.
present crisis in Austria-Hungary.
It's agents have fomented strikes
among the civil population. Frater-

discord among the Austrian soldiers.
The situation in many respects par,
allels that which prevailed in Rus

sian revolution which deposed the
Gear, according to confidential otn-
cial dispatches which reached Wash.

Officials hesitate to forecast what
may be expected. Failure OF the
Austrian high command to take
sternly repressive measures has puz-
zled both State Department and
Diplomatic officials here.
To-day's Stockholm dispatches to
the nternational News Service stat
ing that bitter hostility Is being man
ifested between the German and Aus

fully confirmed by the diplomatic adj

say that the bitter antipathy toward
