To be possessed Of q head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
q matter of using q little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get q
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but a few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply a little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fufliness and an incompara-
bic. gloss and lusrre, and try as you
will you cannot find a trace Of dandruff
or FILLING hair; but your real surprise
will re after about two weeks use,
when sou will see new hair-fine and
downy ut first-yes-bur really new
hair-sprouting out all Over your scalp
-Ilanderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dan
druf' and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails TO stop falling hair at once.
II YOU want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten a cloth
With Il little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at a time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. ADV.

ing to the Year Book of the German
Shakespeare Society there were 900 per-
formances of Shakespeare's plays in Ger
many and Austria last year, given at
1913 theatres. 1t is significant fact,
probably due to the war, that the come
dies enjoyed greater favor than the
tragedies. The largest number of per-
formances of any one play was of "As
You Like It," which was played 1872
times at eighteen theatres. "Twelfth
Night" followed with ia performances,
at twenty-six theatres Hamlet" was
played Ill times, at thirty-four theatres;
"Othello," ninety-eight, at thirty-nine;

"Ten minutes later Frisquet left the

pocket and several yards of fine linen
cloth bound about his wound, which was
in reality made by teeth-but by the
teeth of two forks
"Frisquet had arranged them like the

On Our Dark ness

\ n INTERESTING English reaction
to the temporary darkening Of
New York after the U-boat raid appears
in THE London Daily Mail':
"The darkening of New York as precau-
ton against possible air raids is one OF
the dramatic events Of the war Nothing
SO prlcks the mind to full realization Of
the world extent of this conflict as the
thought of that glttering city, constella-
tion of lights at night like no other city
on earth, 5000 miles away from the battle
fields of Europe, and to many British peo-
pies minds during the first years Of the
war faroff elysium where the trumpets
OF Armageddon were but as horns of elf
land, family blowing now lying draped at
nights in shades that have become second
nature to London.
This darkening of New York is one
more sign that the American people are IN
this war as we are in it, sharing our DIS
comforts, liable to some of our risks. AND
the submarine attack off the Atlantic sea
board ought to be taken to heart by that
dwindling school of 'optimists' in this coun-
try who still believe that America has only
to stride into the war and that at the tramp
OF her millions the enemy will surrender
Before the United States is now that same
iong-drawn ordeal that has been Frances
and Great Britains. Before her lie the
same pouring out of treasure and the same
pouring out of that which is beyond treas
ure--the blood of the flower OF her man
hood. This darkening of New York is
symbol of the approaching climax Of the
worlds greatest DRAMA"

most romantic figures in all history, and
that Sir Walter Scott's "Ivanhoe" is Just
as popular in the French tongue as in
the English:
"The war dragged on year after year. 1t
was to last until the middle of the thir-
teenth century, and the characteristics of
all the outlaws were united in popular
character, Robin Hood. 1t is this parsonage,
a sort of wandering cavalier and MARTYR to
patriotism combined, whom the great Eng
lish romancer, Walter Scott, in his novel
'lvanhoe,' has placed a veritable pedes-
tai, making him national hero of the Mid
die Ages. In Ivanhoe' Robin Hood runs to
the defence of prosecuted innocence and of
outraged justice. And the knight-errant
king, Richard Cnur de Lion, ends by finding
in this outlaw the rarest qualities of heart
and mind"

after having lived several centuries without
having used its wings, the usual transfor-
nation was effected; instead of long feath-
ers adapted to flying, the wing of the pen

feathers, and it cannot rise above the
ground can the other birds
Long centuries of peace have made of
the penguin stupid creature whom men
may approach without any fear whatsoever.
Perhaps it will give you blow with its
beak, but what is that as means of de-
fence against an adversary armed with a
