Beryl had been told many times that
she was pretty, but she wanted to find
out just how pretty the man who mat
tered thought her. %
do you think any Of the other girls
in the office are as pretty as am?
she questioned.
NO" he answered judicially, "and
n don't think one could assemble
enough features from the entire crowd
to make q girl as pretty as you are"
That satisfied her.

GIRLS! DRAW A MOIST
CLOTH THR0UCHHAIR|
DOUBLE ITS BEAUTY
Try this! Hair gets thick, glossy,
wavy and beautiful
at once.

Immediate Yes! Certain? that's
the JOY of it. Your hair becomes
light, wavy, fluffy, abundant and ap-
pears as soft, lustrous and beautiful
as a young girls after Danderine
hair cleanse. Just try this-moisten
a cloth with little Danderine and
carefully 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 few mo-
ments you have doubled the beauty Of
your hair. A delightful surprise awaits
those whose hair has been neglected
or is scraggy, faded, dry, brittle or
thin. Besides beautifying the hair,
Danderine dissolves every particle Of
dandruff; cleanses, purifies and in
vigorates the scalp, forever stopping
itching and falling hair, 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. If you care for pretty, soft
hair, and lots of it, surely get small
bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from
any drug store or toilet counter for a
few cents.

Message to Russian People by British

L
OF great moment on the political
side of the war is message issued to
the Russian people by theBritish labor
party. The message announces that
the British people are one with the
Russians on the principle of self-de-
termination of peoples and no annexa-
tions for the British empire, particu-
larly in the middle east, in Africa
and India. 1t also calls upon the peo-
pies of the Central empires to force
their governments to renounce an
nexations in Europe with the same
good faith in which we are renounc-
ing them in Asia" and not let them
rarive the British people as they are
driving the Russians into the terrible
cho.ce between continuing the war and
abandoning tie only principle that can
save the Worid'
AS for Turkey, the message says the
sovereign independence of the Turk
ish people in their national home is
respected, but that the Turkish gov
earamapt's domination over ether peo-
pies is q hindrance to the rational de-
velopment of the Turks. The forma-
tion is called for to take over the re
sponsibility of governing certain peo-
pies, such as the Arabs, the Pales-
tinians and Armenians.

Stricter Economy of Food to be Re

Strlcter Economy OF ROOD 10 De 1te-
Guired.
Stricter economy of food is to be re-
uuired of the American people, by new
laws put in the making Tuesday In
Congress.
Food Administrator Hoover has APP
proved them and they are expected to
pass promptly as supplemental to the
present food laws.
Wheatless and meatless days and
other economies necessary that Amer
lea may help sustain her co-belliger-
ents would become mandatory by law
instead of voluntary as at present.
Such new laws, are necessary to pro-
tect the millions of loyal Americans
cooperating in food saving against
the wastefulness of a few individuals
and of public eating houses which are
said to handle probably SO per cent
of the food supply.

was among the early ones to go to

NO STRING TIED TO THE NEWS
Full Reports of Peace Negotiations
Will Come to America
from France
(Associated Presso

Washington, Nov 28.-President
Wilson's plans for attending the peace
conference are all matured with the
exception of the day and hour of sail
ing. His departure, however, is GER
tain early next week.
1t is entirely probable that the first
announcement of the personnel of the
American legation will be made in the
presidents address to the opening of
Congress, which will be delivered on
Monday or Tuesday. At the same
time, the president may take occas-
ion to make something in the nature
of statement to the country, as well
as to Congress, on his going to Eu-
rope, something no other president
has ever done.
The most important announcemenr
that has yet been made in connection
with the official plans for the peace
conference came yesterday. It was
that there would be absolutely no CEN
sorship on the news which the Amer
lean newspaper correspondents send
back home. AT the personal request
of President Wilson both the British
and French governments will entirely
relax all censorship on all American
newspaper dispatches telling of the
deliberations. Furthermore, to facil-
itate the transmission of news to this
country, the government through its
recently acquired control of the cable
lines will give news preference over
all commercial business on the cable
lines.
