find comforting words in the follow

Blind Belief.
Swedish Consul Gustayus

SWedlSh Consul GuStavuS Swan said,
in discussing the war:
THE exposures from BuenoS Aires
show that Germany believes alrs fair
in love and war. Germany duped my
own government no less than the Ar
gentine government.
Germany, it is clear, believes all's
fair in love and war as blindly as
scientists believe in facts. Hence she
goes horribly wrong, like the eminent
New England scientist wrote to Tenny-
son one day:
Dear Sir: l find In recent poem
Of yours, entitled "The Vision Of Sin,"
the following unwarranted statement ::
Every moment dies a man and every
moment one is born" / need hardly
point out that this calculation, if cor
rect, would tend to keep the sum total
of the worlds population in a state of
perpetual equipoise, whereas 1t is an
established fact that the said popula-
ton is constantly ON the increase. I
would, therefore, suggest that In the
next edition of this poem the errone-
Gus calculation to which refer should
be corrected as follows: Every mo-
ment dies man and one and a six
teenth is born" I may add that the
exact figures are 1.167, but something
must, of course, be conceded to the
avs of rhythm"

GIRLS! HAVE WAVY,
THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Save your hair! Double its beauty
in a few moments-try this!

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it inn
mediately dissolves every particle OF
dandruff; you cannot have nice, hea-
Wy, healthy hair if you have dan
druff. This destructive scurf robs
the hair of it's iustre, its strength
and it's very life. and if not over
come it produces a feverishness 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 small bottle OF
Knowlton's Danderine at any drug
store or toilet counter; apply lit
tie as directed and zen minutes af-
ter you will say this 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 fall
ing hair-you must use Knowlton's
Danderine. If eventually-why not
now?-Adv

whose enemy is hit by the ammuni-

It has not been expended in the
purchase Of needless food and cloth

der, 1t Is saved wealth to the man
at home and can be loaned to his gov
eminent at interest with resulting

Indianapolis, Jan 17.-The reso!u-
lions committee of the United Nine
Workers Of America is expected to rs
port favorably to the convention
resolution advocating government
ownership of the coal mines.
This is provided they are conducted
along democratic lines.
The convention of 1914 favored fed

according to the leaders, wiz reaf-
arm the stand.
The resolution it is understood, VIII
declare that union miners. under Gov
eminent ownership, should have rep
resentation in mine operation. Any
thing less than this, miners say,
would not be democracy.
John P. White, who resigned the
presidency of TIE union to become Ia
Dor adviser to DR.. II. A. Gs9f ID. fed

convention. He pleaded for the rati-
fcation of the Washington agreem mt.
BY which bituminous and snlhraclte
miners received wages advances.

Spouse OF mine workers to appeals
for co-operation with the governms Mt.
The steady decrease in loss Of tom
