BEAUTIFUL HAIR
THICK, WAvY, FREE
FROM DANDRUFF
Draw a moist cloth thru
hair and double its
beauty at once.
Save your hair! Dandruff
disappears and hair
stops coming out.

mmediate?-Yes! Certain?-
that's the JOY of 1t. Your hair be-
comes light, wavy, fluffy, abund-
ant and appears as soft, lustrous
and beautiful as young girls
after an application of Danderine.
Also try this-moisten cloth
with a little Danderine and care
fully draw It through your hair,
taking one small strand at time.
This will cleanse the hair OF dust,
dirt or excessive oil, and in just a
few moments you have doubled
the beauty of your hair. A de-
lightful surprise awaits those
whose hair has been neglected or
is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or
thin. Besides identifying the
hair, Danderine dissolves every
particle of dandruff; cleanses,
purifies and invigorates tho scalp,
forever stopping itching and fall
ing hair, but what will please you
most will be after a few weeks
use, when you see new hair--fine
and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over
the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what
fresh showers and rain and sun
shine are TO vegetation. 1t goes
right to the roots, invigorates and
strengthens them. Its exhilarat-
ing, stimulating and life-produc-
ing properties cause the hair to
grow long. strong and beautiful.
You can surely have pretty,
charming lustrous hair, and lots
of it, IL you will enend a few cents
for a bottle OF knowlton's Dan
derine from any drug store or
toilet counter and try it as
directed.

Is Time
For Ministry.
Saws Pastor

Never have | seen the ministry

the time the minister can come
into his own,' said DR.. j. Wilbur
Chapman, moderator of the Pres
byterian assembly, speaking to Ia
coma ministers of all denomina-
tions in the Commercial club
Tue-day afternoon.
We hold the most unique posi-
ton in the world. We must keep
the dignity of our profession, and
yet ! am convinced we must
change our methods" he said IF
men of the ministry are big
enough, broad enough, now is the
time the ministry can come into
its own.
The world wants old-fashioned
religion, but it also wants new
methods This is our challenge.
Are we ready to accept it?
This is the time we have all
been praying for; this is the time
we are most needed" he said.
DR.. w. II. Foulkes, chairman of
the special war commission which

ARE CLOSED
TO VISITORS
(SDecial to The Times. }

DETROIT, Mich, April 10. =
The Ford Motor Co. closed its
doors to all visitors today.
For a number of years the
huge Highland plant was the mec-
ca for all people coming to De-
troit. And due to this fact the
Ford organization maintained a
courtesy department which fur
nished schooled guides, who were
familiar with all phases Of the in
dustry.
The records of the company
show that people from all parts
of the world visited the factory.
The officials of the company ex-
pressed their regret that it was
necessary to discontinue this cour-
tesy but as it is a rigid rule from
the government, 1t is entirely be-
yond the powers of the Ford Mo-
tor Co.

Lonesome Sunday

Sunday makes them lonesome
when they think or have time to
think OF the folks back home,
writes Lester Jobson to Miss Hen
rietta Simms, 439 st. Helens av.
Jobson enlisted here with the
aviation corps but has now been
transferred to special detail
duty and is serving as an engi-
Ineer on a French train, and altho
he has had no previous experience
he seems to be making good at
the railroading.
Parts of his letter read as fol-
lows:
Sunday again and | am just as
lonesome as usual and all because
home is so far away. or all the
lonely days l spend the Sundays
are the worst of all, and especial
/ y when the weather is as nice and
warm and bright as it has been

as tin cans and old stumps, but

Every day the French Red
Cross trains pass here. And such
sights! If everyone there at

would be much greater than it is,
altho l know that just now it is
way up and | surely hope that
the pitch stays high.

engines today and were surprised
to find ones of a much different

In England

LII GIlSldIlU
English dignitaries have some
odd costumes, writes Thomas
Davenport, Tuscania survivor,
who says the mayor of Southamp-
ton wore what looked like a bath
robe. His letter gives interesting
sidelights on English life.
THE authorities have been
treating us pretty well since we
arrived here. The other day we
hiked down to the city to see
some of the historical sights
about town. We say the west
gate of what once was the city
wall. Over the gate is a high
larchway which was arranged for
defense before the time of guns.
There are open places arranged
for dropping stones and pouring
liquids on the enemy. We also
passed the remains of the castle
of William of Normandy.
Yesterday a large number of
the survivors were invited down
to the city of Southampton to see
the city and attend a special show
in a large theater. We were met
at the station by a good British
band and marched thru the streets
for about a mile. The people
lined the streets and filled the
windows. Every one had smiles
for us and put out their hands to
shake as we went by.
"One old lady was standing by
the curb and seemed much excited
as we passed. She said, Cheer

On several occasions, says Popular
Science Monthly, when an executives
assistant desired to converse with his
superior the former was busy on the
telephone, so he had to wait.
To open the door every few minutes
for the purpose Of looking in or to
have the operator notify you when the
receiver has been hung up is both an
noying and tlme-consuming. A private
concern has installed an inexpensive
device which eliminates the embar-
rassment.
The executives telephone has an ex-
ira connection which automatically
lights a small blue light at the assist
ants Office when the former is using
his phone. AS soon as the executive
hangs up the RECEIVER the light goes
out and the assistant knows that his
superior is accessible.
This device, which Is very inexpen-
sive, consists of two pieces connected
with wires which run through the cord

POETS GET INTO FRONT RANK
Some Soldiers Develop as Writers Of
Verse While Knights of Quill Also
Become Warriors.

The literature of the war proves that
some soldiers are made into poets, and
we know also, of course, that some
poets have been made into soldiers.
Mobilization and CONSUMPTION take lit
tie account of persons and no account
at all of professions. There is one
great poet of history, however, and one
great painter. too, who were denied
entrance into the ranks of the army
Poe and Whistler.
The story of why Whistler did not
become soldier is well known, but it
may bear repetition. Like Poe, he was
n cadet at West Point, and like Poe
he was discharged from that institu-
ton long before the completion of the
course. Whistler was found deficient
in chemistry, and when he was asked
why he did not graduate and become
a soldier he answered.: "If silicon
were a gas, would be a soldier"

more than medicine, and know
ing there was no better place
than T. S. Bracken's to go to get
the good eats, | went and was
not disappointed. | had all the
goo1 milk, butter and eggs one
could wish for. Sunday morning
Miss Calie said that if she had
some one to help her catch some
chickens she would give us fried
chicken for dinner. Tom and
the boys were away and | ven
tered my services, and it was
not very long until we had secur-
ed a sufficient number to make a
Methodist Conference rejoice,
and if there ever was anyone
that could beat everyone else
frying chicken that someone
must be Mrs. Bracken and the
girls The two married daugh-
tiers, Mrs. Harvard and Mrs. O.
dell, were there to assist. 1t
would be useless for me to at
tempt to draw a description of
that dinner. Just imagine a
patron of hotels and restaurants
sitting down to such a feast and
living to tell about it! return
ed to Dallas Monday afternoon.
Tuesday went to Oak Cliff and
spent a very pleasant day and
got another good dinner. Friday

on my good friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
D. W. Estes, the people | lived

was left alone. | got another
good eat AID enjoyed the day the
very best They are fine people.
So you see | have been feasting
all of the past week.
There is a great deal of Span
ish influenza here. In some in
stances it proves fatal. The
doctors say they are getting con-
troll of the disease now. Papers
report from eleven to twelve
hundred cases now in the city.
There have been twenty-five or
thirty deaths here that were at
tributed to influenza. All opera
houses and places of amusement
have been ordered closed. There
is talk of closing the churches
and schools. They will decide on
that by Monday. hope it will
not he necessary to close them.
1t seems like the German rul- |
ers are favor of the Wilson brand |
of peace, contrary to the Kaiser's
voice. hope they will override
the oppression and make a COM
plete surrender and end this
bloody strife. The world is
and praying foran hon.
