Hair, Darkens Gray Hair.

Dandruff, or little scales of dust
from the scalp and hair, causes
grayness, falling of the hair and bald

too simple or not strong enough to
cleanse the scalp and hair of dandruff.

MOST ACTIVE U. S. SECTOR.
Americans Hurting Thousands o
Shells Daily on Luneville Front.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
With the American army in France
Monday, March 1.-THE sector occu-
pied by American troops east of Lune-
vile which was designated formerly
merely as being in Lorraine. has de-
veloped suddenly into one of the most
active on the front, from the stand
point of artillery fighting. American
artillerymen are hurting thousands of
shells daily against the German posi-
lions, making it virtually impossible
for the enemy to occupy them. Inves-
tigation shows that they have been
ly true in the neighborhood of certain
places northwest and northeast of
Badonviller, where it is now permits
sible to say, the two raids mentioned
as having been carried out simultan-
eously, took place.
Certain information obtained in the
American sector northwest of Toul
leads to the conclusion that the
American raid there this morning
| came at such time as to cause the
! Germans to abandon plans of their
| own for a raid. Normal artillery fight
| ing continues in this sector, shells fall
! ing on towns on both sides of the line.
At one place the Germans used mus
| tard shells. A small number of Amer
| leans walked thru the gas later.
| Last night an American patrol
| brought in an enemy sniper's camou-
| flage suit made of woven brownish
| colored grass, the same shade as the
I landscape There was the usual work
| by patrols in No Mans Land during
| the night but no encounters have been
reported.
Conditions were excellent today, for
| flying, and many hostile and friendly
| planes were in the air. In virtually
every allied plane there was an Ameri-
| can observer. Once or twice the Amer
| leans went close enough to the Ger
| mans to try their machine guns, but
| without result One plane in which
there was an American went far back
| of the enemy lines. 1t was the target
| for hundreds of enemy shells which
| seemed to burst all around it. On re-
| turning the American admitted that
| they seemed pretty thick, but he was
| unframed.
