BRITISH SEA POWER PRAISED.
On Occasion of Annual Celebration OF
Nelson Day.


London, Sunday, Oct. 20.--on the oc.
easion Of the annual celebration Of Mel
son day, the navy league received to-
day messages from leading public men
"On the courage, skill and endurance
of British seamen depend, and always
have depended, the issues of the great
war wrote A. J. Balfour, secretary Of
state for foreign affairs. "But for them
our continental allies would have been
severed from all external aid"
Admiral Sir David Beatty said: "On
this anniversary Of the triumphant es-
tablishment Of British supremacy, the
grand fleet sends greetings TO the navy
league"
A message from Sir Douglas Hsig
commander in chief Of the British armies
in France, read. 'The heart Of every
one in the British army goes out with
mine TO all officers and men Of the Royal
navy an mercantile marine. Words
fail me IN expressing adequately the
gratitude and elimination for our com
rades Of a sister service. Thanks 10
their triumphant efforts, we remain mis-
tress Of the seas, and supplies of all
kinds, not merely for our vast empire
but also for oursallies, have never for a
moment ceased to flow"
Admiral Viscormt Jellicoe wrote "The
events of the present year have empha-
sized 10 an exceptional degree the SUI
preme value Of sea-power not only To
the British empire, but TO the allied
cause as whole. 1t is sea power alone
that has made II possible to bring to
and maintain in the main theatres Cd
the war on the western front that great
United States army which has turned
the scale Of battle. 1t is sea power that
has made possible the recent great vic,
tories in Palestine and Macedonia"

How to Be Rid of
Dangerous Dandruff

II you have dandruff you must get rid of II
quiek-it's positively dangerous and will sure
ly ruin your hair If you don't.
Dandruffy heads mean faded. brittle. gray,
scraggly hair that will not grow-then you
are bald and nothing can help you.
The only sure way to abolish dandruf for
good is to destroy the germ that causes it. To
do this quickly, surely and safely and at little
expense, there is nothing as effective as Pari-
sian sage, which you can get from Il. A.
Drown & Co. and good druggists everywhere
1t is guaranteed to Danish dandruf, stop itch
ing scalp and falling hair, and promote new
growth, or the cost, small as il is, will be re
funded.
Partisan sage is a scientific preparation that
supplies all hair needs--an antiseptic liquid
neither sticky or greasy, easy to apply, and
delicately perfumed.

The other factories at Mannheim have

The factories and railway station al
Saarbrucken have been bombed 10 times

and the junction at Thionville have been
raided 40 times. Photographs taken by
the attacking airmen confirm the extent
and magnitude of the damage done.
War traffic through Metz-Sablon has
been materially reduced as a result Of
the frequent raids at time when quick

SICKNESS IN
THE FAMILY
Means Unusual Strain on the
Nerves of Every Member
It's a Time When a Safe and Reliable
Blood Building Tonic VIII Save
Much Suffering.

Much Suffering.
At this time when there is sickness in
so many families, the burden that is be-
ing borne by those not afflicted will re-
suit in much subsequent suffering unless
steps are taken to build up the health to
withstand the unusual strain.
Oyerwork and worry are the most com.
mon causes of neurasthenia, that loss Of
nerve force which makes so many people
irritable, sleepless, melancholy and dys-
peptic. The remedy and the preventative
is to keep the blood built up by the use
of q good, non alcoholic tonic, so that the
nerves will be well nourished. This pre-
vents the form of nervous debility so
commonly encountered after severe cpl
denies in which those not actually
stricken are subjected to the most severe
worry and strain This is strikingly
shown in recent case.

| lily were the causes of breakdown in

The nerves get all their nourishment
through the blood, and the quality of the
blood determines the amount of nourish-
ment the nervous system receives. There
ia no way of restoring weak nerves no
way of getting medicine to the nerves,
except through the blood.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills have one di-
rect action, to build up the blood and in
crease its capacity to carry nourishnent
to the tissues Of the body. In this gen.
eralized improvement the nerves quickly
share, and the treatment has been sue
cessful in relieving many nervous condi.
tions, particularly cases in which NAL
nutrition is a factor, such as nervous
headaches, neuralgia and ineipient St

ton makes them an ideal remedy for
