WHY HAIR FALLSOUT

Dandruff causes feverish irrita-
ton of the scalp, the hair roots
shrink, loosen and then the hair
comes out fast. To stop falling hair
at once and rid the scalp of every
particle of dandruff, get small
bottle of Danderine at any drug
store, for few cents, pour a little
in your hand and rub we'll into the
scalp. After several applications all
dandruff disappears and the hair
stops coming out.-Adv.t

EAT NO WHEAT
UNTIL HARVEST.
PLEADS HOOVER
Breadstuffs at Their Lowest
Ebb in Europe,
He Says

Washington, March so. - Herbert
Hoover placed the issue of wheat
conservation squarely up TO the
American people yesterday and left
it in their hands whether or not the
needs OF the fighters and civilians
abroad shall be met.
The service that we ask of you,
that we ask of every well-to-do, ev-
cry Independent person in the United
states to-day, is that he shall abstain
from wheat in any form until the
reNt harvest" was the plea which
Mr.. Hoover voiced in a speech before
100 hotel men of the United States,
gnd the answer was a pledge from
virtually every man present that no
wheat products would be served in
his establishment until the first of
september.
Another important development in
the food situation yesterday was the
suspension of meatless days for the
next thirty days.
Wheat Situation Serious
The wheat situation yesterday is
the most serious in the food supply
ot the world, was the statement made
hy Mr.. Hoover. and is due, he said,
10 the following causes:
The last harvest was less than was
estimated.
The delays of shipping have thrown
a larger burden upon the American
people in feeding the Allies than was
anticipated
Failure of the Argentine -crop to
reach the market as early or in
the quantity that We expected.
These complications have cut the
supply of breadstuffs in Europe to
their lowest ebb, and the United
states is the only source of supply
left.
Americas consumption must he cut
at least one-half with the further
knowledge that the shipments Of
wheat to the Allies will be limited
from now until next fall only by
limit of the country's exporting
lower. Every pound that can be
Slipped across the Atlantic ocean,
the food administrator said. will be
taken.

Lord of the Mining Department of
the A. F.: of L., while Lord is In

ment the demand of the copper
miners of Arizona for a standard
wage@of IS for surface work and
So for work underground. Confer
cnces are still going forward.
In case the copper miners are
unable to get the standard wage
established by negotiation, they
will appeal to the War Labor
board. There are between $4,000
and 10000 men employed in and
around the copper mines in Ari-
zona, and at least 100000 in the
copper mining industry of the
country, according to McCluskey.
A standard wage would be applied
to the mines not only in Arizona
but in Utah. Montana and Michigan.

ENGINEERS VOTE
T0AF:F:|l|ATE
WITH A. F. OIL.
Decision Portends Similar hC-
tion Soon By All Rail-
road brotherhoodS,

WASHINGTON, May 23.-Decision
by the Cleveland convention of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
to affiliate with the American Fede-
ration of Labor means that all four
of the operative brotherhoods will
soon come into the federation, and
will take an active part in it's af-
fairs. Presumably these 100000 to
100000 men will be given at least one
of the places on the executive council,
and their leaders will be called to
serve in every conference henceforth
on general labor policy.
Six months ago the railroad brother
hoods were overwhelmingly anti
public ownership. Today, according
to some of their most experienced ma
tional officers, they are almost unan-
imously in favor of public ownership
and operation of transportation lines
They are working for the govern
ment, and although they were dis
appointed in the small increase in
wages given them by the recent award
covering all railroad employees, they
know that their chances are better
under the government than under
private operation. Their influence
then, is likely to rapidly increase the
pressure from the labor movement to
bring congress to a public ownership
policy.
News of this vote of affiliation was
perhaps the best news discussed by
the executive council of the A. F. of
l.. at its session here during the week.
1t makes certain the complete organ
ization Of the whole railroad industry,
from top to bottom.
