will please you most will be after a few

new hair-growing all we the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No DIFF
ference how dull, faded, brittle and

your hair, taking one small strand at a

Get a small bottle Of Knowlton's

A HEAVIER TOLL THAN WAR
Reports From Forty-SiE Cities Show
92.306 Deaths We're Caused
BY Epidemic.

Washington-The recent epidemic
OF influenza in the United States
caused more deaths than occurred
among the American eXpediti0nary
forces from all causes from the time
the first unit landed in France until
hostilities ceased,
This announcement, made by the
census bureau, Is based on unofficial
estimates of the total casualties among
the overseas forces and reports from
forty.six cities having a combined pop,
ulation Of %, OO0, goo, which show 49,.
S06 deaths from influenza and pneu,
nonia from Sept. 0, to Nov. 8,
Normally, these cities would have
had 1000 deaths from these causes
during this period, it was said. leaving
approximately $4,000 rs tho number
properly charged to the epidemic.
This total casualties in The Amer,
ican expeditionary forces" says the
announcement, have recently been
unofficially estimated at 10c, 900. On
the basis OF the number thus far re,
ported, 1t may be assumed that tho
deaths from all causes, including dis.
ease and accidents, are probably less
than As per cent and may not be more
than 40 per cent of the total casual,
ties. On this assumption the loss OF
life in the American expeditionary
forces to date is about 10000 or AS,
