Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1918-11-01

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation of Danderine you can not find
single trace of dandruff 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 cloth with Dam
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is amazing your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy. and have
an appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for a few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter. and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that it has been neglected or injured
by careless Observation-Disclosures all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
Of it if you will just try little DAN
derine.-Adv.

Usinu "Cut-over" Lands.

Agricultural possibilities Of "cut
over" lands in Louisiana have been
once more demonstrated by Ed Strain,
a farmer living a mile and half north
of st. Benedict, producing a bale OF
cotton an acre on cut-over lard brok-
en- and prepared in the fall and planted
In cotton in the spring OF the next
year. The fact that Mr.. Strain is a
blacksmith by trade and has taken to
farming only recently renders the agri-
cultural feat the lnore remarkable.

raised. More drastic measures he
would postpone until the December

Asked by Sen. Calder.

Half fare for all enlisted men and
officers of the army and navy on
authorized furlough or in travelling
back and forth to where they are sta
toned, is advocated in a bill intro
duced in the Senate yesterday by
Senator Calder of New York. This

The measure would authorize Direc-
tor General McAdoo to sell at half
price railroad tickets to all enlisted
men and officers OF the army or
navy, whether going home CT fur
Tough or travelling back and forth to
their respective stations.
Complaints have reached the House
from reliable sources that many en-
listed men are compelled. on account
OF their camp or quarters being To-
Gated 90 far away from their homes,
to spend more than a whole months
pay in order to see their families or
to attend other business necessary on
account OF a departure abroad. The
bill will alleviate these conditions.

GOVERNMENT PRICES
given To RED CROSS
Millions of Dollars Saved Through
War Industries Board.

Hereafter all American Red Cross
purchases will be made In the market
under the same conditions as govern
ment purchases. according to an an
nouncement by the Red Cross last
night. this being made possible by a
ruling by the Requirement Division
Of the War Industries Board.
Therefore the dollar you give to the
Red Cross will go just as far az the
dollar you invest in liberty bonds, The
same price and the same priority
privileges will be granted to both.

Red Cross expects to save millions of
dollars. For instance, according to
the announcement, $4,000 was saved

ago. Heretofore the Red Cross has
been going into the open market and
paying the same for its purchases as
was paid by private agencies and in

SENATE STORM
George Creel May Head
Firing Squad, /" Says
Brandegee.

Frank B. Brandeges. United States
Senator from Connecticut fairly
bristled with indignation yesterday
afternoon when he read in the Senate
letter from Irving Washburn, writ
ten on stationery Of the Assistant
Attorney General in New York, and
demanding to know IL Brandegee had
been correctly quoted as saying of
Gutzon Borglum:
Il only know that he was appointed
by the President. and / take II from
that he has no qualifications"
"a Little Two-spot.s
Senator Brandege called washburn
"a little two-spot." and ssd:
It's an outrage II that's the
way We are going to conduct our
espionage act, and a man can't say
another is not a good Judge of men.
We may as well disband. and set up
sort of Czardom."
II was a warm five minutes In the
Senate and occurred Just before the
final acceptance Of the conference re-
port unpon additions to the espionage
bill.
Washburn's anxiety evidently did
not concern Borglum particularly, for
he merely asked IL Senator Brandegee
had been quoted in a New York pa
per (the New York World as ap-
plying the sentence to someone ap-
pointed by President Wilson"
The Washburn letter which was
headed Department Of Justice, Gus
toms Division. Office of the Assistant

Remembering you very well per-
sonally in connection with my visits
to New London some years ago in
the matter Of Anna W. Ferris, IN
which was associated with your
firm. I am solicitous to know IL you
are correctly quoted by the World.
II trust that you will look upon
this as a desire to test the World
rather than yourself and shall be
grateful to you for any reply you
may wish to make"
Haven't Passed "Test7 Act.
Test" fairly snorted Senator
Brandegee. I'VE haven't passed any.
test act. He can test the New York
World or any other paper. But he
can't test me.
II can read here from the Const,tu-
ton that a Senator can not be acid
responsible for what he says upon
this floor. Yet this little two-spot
presumes to question me-"
In the middle OF one Of Senator
Brandegee's remarks. Senator Shcr-
man OF Illinois, broke in:

terror under this legislation"
YES" assented Senator Bran
degree, "in about three months we

that Senators should be more care
