To be possessed o. head OF heavy,

ly matter Of using little Dan
derine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have

ten minutes there will be an appear
ance of abundance, freshness, fluff
ness and an Incompatible gloss and
lustre. and try as you will you can

ing hair; but your real surprise will
be after about two weeks use, when
you will see new hair-fine and
downy at frst-yes-but really new

scalp-Danderine is, we believe, the
only sure hair grower. destroyer of
dandruff and cure for itchy scalp, and
It never fails to stop falling hair ar
once.
If you want to prove how pretty
and soft your hair really is, moisten
a cloth with little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair
taking one small strand at a time.
Your hair will be soft, glossy and
beautiful in just few moments-a
delightful surprise awaits everyone
who tries this.

WASHINGTON, Dec 5.-Nomina-
ton Of Carter Glass, Virginia, to be
secretary of the treasury was sent to
the senate today by the white house.
st would be presumpious on my
part to give out any statement before
the senate confirms my appointm ent, !"
Glass said.
Glass friends say he has taken the
position against his wishes. Glass him
self showed little enthusiasm when in
formed his nomination had been sent
to the senate.
q expected it would be- was his on
.ly comment
Glass explained that he had just
come from Europe and was out OF
touch with the treasury for the psf
several weeks.
Friends of Glass say, however, that
he is fully alive to the problems that
the treasury must meet and it was the
belief that some one else could han
die them better than he that made him
reluctant to enter the cabinet.Added
to this is the fact that Glass is one Of
the democratic leaders in the house
and has been reelected time after
time without opposition.
A few minutes after the news was
flashed of his appointment to the
house side Of the capitol Glass walked
on the floor and answered to roll call
Three hundred representatives rose
and applauded him for several min
!utes.
Glass will assume the duties of the
treasury. December 16, retiring Secre-
tarv McAdoo announced this after
noon.
McAdoo stated as to his future
plans that he will take short rest.
Then he said he proposed TO resume
the practice of law in New York.

director of railroads until "a couple
