To be possessed of a head of heavy, beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy, wavy and free from dandruff is mere ly a matter of using a little Dander- inc.
 It is easy and inexpensive to have nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a small bottle of Knowlton's Dander- inc now-it costs but a few cents-all drug stores recommend it-apply a little as directed and within ten min utes there will be an appearance of abundance, freshness, fuffiness and an incomparable gloss and lustre, and try as you will you can not find a trace of dandruff or falling hair; but your real surprise will be after about two weeks use, when you will see yes-but really new hair-sprouting out all over your scalp-Danderine is, we believe, the only sure hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and cure for itchy scalp, and it never fails t9 stop falling hair at once.
 If you want to prove how pretty and soft your hair really is, moisten cloth with a 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.

 MT. Dennan recently appeared be- fore the committee and requested to be allowed to present his case. He was anxious ato refute testimony, he said, recently given the investigators hClding him responsible for the loss to the government Of fifteen steel ships through the Shipping Boards delay in communicating vessels under construction in American yards. At first the committee seemed 1oath to let MT. Denman testify. and it was Indicated members did not wish the Goethals-Denman TOW rehearsed. Last | Friday the committee had Mir. Den man submit a list of topics upon which he wished to talk and the list, in the form of a letter to Chairman Fletcher, was considered by committeeman, l WILL IllS uGClSlOH lO Cdll MT DSunldu to the stand.
 In the letter, MT. Denman said he would show he was opposed to wood en ship construction and "was only driven to the advocacy of building wooden ships by the terrific efficiency of the submarine"
 Despite the ability shown by the present Shipping Board, he said, he would show the grave shortage of ton mage now existing will probably in crease instead of decrease during the current year." He asserted this was based on the present indicated rate o1 submarine destruction and the antici- pated rate of ship construction.
 In referring to the alleged testimony holding him responsible for the loss o1 of the fifteen ships the government failed to ,commandeer because of neg lect, due to differences between hin and Gen, Goethals, Denman said he wanted to prove that mo loss of any ships arose through any act GS ennis. sien of either Gen.

 The letter also said MT. Denmar understood portions of the record o1 the testimony in this connection had been depleted, and while he knew thi. was done to keep something hurtfu to him from the record it would ''be doubly harmful If its removal robbed me of che opportunity of an emphatic denial"
