Opportunities for Americans.
For reasons grave and ssddening,
France is gratified that these matches
are being made. One million five hun
dred Thousand Of the best young men
Of the republic have been killed in
action since the war began; as many
more have been crippled. The loss
OF three millions from her effective
manhood seemed almost TO threaten
the existence of the nation.
For any part OF the wastage that
may be repaired by Americans COM
ing to live in her borders, France is
profoundly grateful. There are no
men in the world she would so readi-
ly welcome.
Industrial Changes Notable.
Also, there will be in France when
the war is over an unequaled demand
for constructive ability and business
executives. Young Americans that
stay there will have a wonderful
chance.
Very little attention has been paid
to this, but the fact is a great indus
trial change is at hand there and has
In fact already begun. The war has
shaken the old conservatism out Of
its sleep.
The France that used to be content
to roll pleasantly along. seeking the
easiest way and the fsrthest from
worry. is gone forever.
It is to be made now industrially
independent and more largely self
sustaining, and a vast new field opens
for American capital. American en-
crgy, and American system.
French Need Our Men.
The French know now what these
things mean. They have seen that
most marvellous exploit OF all the war.

know what the American executive

GOES!
HAIR GETS THICK,
WAVY, BEAUTIFUL
Save Your Hair! Double Its Beauty
in a Few Moments.
Try This!
Hair Stops Coming Out and Every
Particle Of Danduf
Disappears.

Try as you will. after an application
of Danderine, you cannot find single
trace of dandruf or falling hair and
your scalp will not itch. but what
will please you most, will be after
few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty OF your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw 1t
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is imme-
diate and amazing-your hair will be
light, fluffy and wavy, and have an
appearance of abundance. an incom-
parable luster. softness and luxuri-
ance, the beauty and simmer of
true hair health.
Get a small bottle Of Knowlton's 8
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for a few cents and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any-that it has been neglected
or injured by careless treatment
that's all.
Danderine Is to the hair what fresh
showers of rain and sunshine are to
vegetation. 1t goes right to the roots,
invigorates and strengthens them. Its
exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro-
ducing properties cause the hair to
grow long, strong and beautiful.-Ady.

According to astroloEy this is a
rarely fortunate day. Jupiter, IRA
nus and Saturn are all in beneic
aspect Mars alone is adverse.
All the signs seem to point TO
much business activity where large
enterprises are involved. Plans for
foreign trade and commercial de-
velopment have the best possible di-
rection of the stars.
During the coming months men
OF vision and practical foresight
will have many esponsibilities
placed on them by the government,
il is predicted. This prophecy
seems to concern organization and
enterprises that reach all classes OF
American citizens.
Saturn promises for an old man
high in public esteem the honor Of
suggesting policies ana reforms in
everyday affairs that will be OF
largest benefit.
The planets that are supposed to
aid ell cooperative schemes have
power that will continue to be COM
pelling in the future.
Mars is in a place that is rather
threatening today and the aspect
may be interpreted as presaging
some anxiety about the war. This
will be temporary. for the stars
promise the most extraordinary rec
ords not only in waging war but
in showing mercy.
The seers declare that the victory
to be written on the widest page OF
American history will be not alone
one Of American arms but for Amer
ican ideals, which will change Eu-
