How Old Are You
By Your Hair?

You may be thirty in years, but
if You are bald-headed, gray, or
your hair is dry. brittle, scraggly and
ugly-looking, people will surely take
you to be many years older.
When your hair becomes faded,
dry, streaked and scraggly. when il
falls out badly and new hair cannot
grow, the roots should be immedi-
ately vitalized and properly nour-
ished. To do this quickly, safely
and at little expense, there is moth
ing so effective as Partisan sage

Kennedy's Drug Store and all good
drug and toilet counters.
It's guaranteed to abolish dan
druf-stop scalp itch and falling
hair and promote a new growth or
money refunded. It's in great de-
mand by discriminating women be-
cause it makes the hair so soft, lus-
trous, easy to arrange attractively
and appear heavier than it really is.
a massage with Partisan sage is
real delight-easy to use, not
sticky or greasy, and delicately per-
fumed-an antiseptic liquid free
from dangerous ingredients and
guaranteed not to color the hair or
scalp. II you want good looking
hair and plenty of it, by all means

Northclife Sees Hint
of Hun Collapse in Note

London, Oct. 22.-Lord Northcliffe.
commenting on Germany's latest peace
proposal. tonight said:
"A hasty' perusal of the German
note reveals that. with truly Prus-
sian seltishness, no mention is made
of Austria Hungary or Turkey. 1t
seems to me that the document may
be read either as a means to gain
time or as a confession of a state
of affairs militarily and economically
worse than we know"
THE least satisfactory feature of
the reply is the shameless prevarica-
tion with regard to German outrages
on land and sea. and the suggestion
that this be dealt with by a neutral
commission is mere subterfuge.
The arguments employed to prove
that a reform of the German constitu-
tion has been accomplished are un-
worthy of serious consideration.
The President, who dealt so firm
ly and shrewdly with the previous
German attempts to entangle him in
wordy discussions. may be trusted to
compel the German government to
show whether it really intends un-
conditional surrender. which alone
can satisfy the demands of the mill
tary and naval authorities of the
Allies, or whether it simply is play
ing for time"

PEACE BROUGHT
NO NEARER BY
NOTE, TAFT SAYS
Ex-President Mercilessly Dis
sects Berlin's Reply; Time
to Write 'Finis"
BY William Fl. Taft

Washington, Oct. %. - Another
German peace note has come. but
we are no nearer peace.
The German government. denat-
uralized for the purpose of seeking
a negotiated peace, consents that the
armistice may be referred to the
military authorities, but with the
reservation that it shall be recon-
ciled with German honor"
That honor" prompts the de-
NAL of German official wanton de-
vastation in France and Belgium
and official looting. though every
man in the Allied armies at the front
can verify it.
That honor" denies the sinking
of lifeboats with passengers escap-
ing from torpedoed liners, when the
evidence is indisputable.
But why make so much of this,
when the sinking of passenger boats
by submarines is admitted? Muir
der in the first degree is the same
crime, whether the killing is by one
blow or is long drawn out.
These denials will only strengthen
the already unanimous demand by
the American people for an uncon-
ditional surrender. The German
mind cannot understand their out
ragged feelings. II IT could, no at
tempt at such denials would have
been made.
What is the armistice for? To
agree upon peace? What peace?
That outlined in the message of
January and subsequent ad-
dresses? The Austrian note showed
how unsatisfactory such basis was.
The armistice requested is for a
negotiated peace German so-called
acceptance of the fourteen points
commits her TO joining in Discus
sion of what they mean. But that
is all. The differences that could
arise after an armistice as to their
exact intendment are legion.
Germany has become popular
government voernight as it were.
But where are the Hohenzollerns? {?
Have they given up? What con-
trolls the army? Who the navy? 1t
is difficult to be patient with such a
travesty. This time, we hope, an
answer will be sent closing the chap
ter.
