Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation of Danderine you can not find
single trace of dandruff or falling hair

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 DAN

your hair, taking one small strand at
time. The effect is amazing hair

Get a small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any drug

Frenchman Invented Zeppelin.

How many people are aware that
Count Zeppelin was not the real in
ventor of the Zeppelin? AS matter
of fact, Frenchman, Maurice Chew
reauS, conceived the idea, and it was
from his plans that the first monster
airship was able to fly. Chevreux,
who was naval engineer, has recent
ly died; since the commencement Of
the war he had practically lived the
life of hermit; some say because Of
his grief at being the innocent cause
OF placing in the hands of the hated
enemy such a terrible machine Of war.
He resided for some years in Germany,
end was employed in the Zeppelin
workshops, and while so engaged de-
signed the six-cylinder motor, by which
Count Zeppelin was able to eventually
triumph over the difficulty Of making
a dirigible airship that would keep up
for hours in the air.

Just as the perplexed reporter of
fashions is about to begin to describe
some fetching new fur garment as q
disputable claim to be called scarf.
And when she has decided that 1t be-
longs to the straightforward, upright
and downright scarf family, she finds
1t consorting with belt, something
scarfs and capes have heretofore not
done. Eccentric and interesting
these are the terms that belong to the
small fur garments that have lent a
willing ear to tales of alluring camou-
f1age this season. They look like so
many things we finally have to call
them by the most indefinite Of terms
merely garments are that any
way.
Here is one of them which is cape

concerned, scarf SO far as the front
goes, and jacket, If we take the
belts word for 1t. 1t is made Of Hud-
son seal and has collar of Siberian
squirrel. And this is another charac-
teristic of fur garments this season.
Hardly one of them but has two kinds
of fur In it's makeup.
The little fur wrap shown in the
illustration, worn with heavy suit,
is warm enough for average winter
weather and an ideal affair for au-
tumn and early winter. Women wear
these small garments with wonderful
grace and it is no wonder that furs
have carried over into the summer

CARBON FOR Gas
MASKS IS URGED
Provide Protection for American
Boys Who Are Fighting in
French Trenches.
FRUIT PITS MOST VALUABLE
Stones and Shells, Ordinarily Regard
ed as valueless and Thrown Away
Are Wanted-Send Direct to
Red Cross Stations.

Do not throw away single peach.
plum, apricot, cherry, prune, date or
olive pit nor the shell Of a nut.
The United States government asks
you to give to, it, through the Red
Cross, the fruit stones you would or
dinarily throw away. About 200 peach
stones will provide enough carbon for
q gas mask-the only protection be-
tween our boys and poisonous gases
being used by Germans.
One of the essentials in the respira-
tor designed to protect our soldiers on
the front lines against deadly gases is
carbon. The efficiency Of the mask to
a large extent depends upon the quail
ity Of the carbon. An excellent quail
ity is obtained from fruit pits and nut
shells. These stones and shells, which
are ordinarily regarded as valueless,
the people Of this country now are
asked to save, as our government is
experiencing difficulty in getting the
right kind Of carbon. The British gov
eminent has also asked for supply
of high-grade carbon to use for the
same purpose.
The pits before they are delivered
to central collecting points should not
be cracked, but dried carefully in the
sun or in ovens. Rain will not injure
the stones or shells provided they are
thoroughly dried afterwards.
Nut Shells Valuable Also.
Large quantities Of hickory nuts,
walnuts and butternuts are to be
found in various sections of the coun-
try and only limited amounts are now
gathered annually. AS the meats are
valuable food, they should be extracted
from the shells before the latter are
delivered to the Red Cross collecting
stations. Nut meats will keep perfect
ly in a dry place for months or they
may be marketed. The whole nuts
may be sent, If the nut meats are not
used locally. Quantities Of pignuts
and bitternuts remain uncollected each
year, even by the squirrels, because
of the taste Of the meats, or their
smallness; the shells of these, how
ever, are excellent for carbon.
Only the shells of the nuts and the
stones from the fruit listed above
! should be sent, as the government
chemists have carefully selected the
kinds which are most valuable for the
gas mask manufacture. It requires
about 200 peach pits or seven pounds
of nut shells to produce carbon enough
for one mask. This mask will protect
the boys in the front line trenches
against every kind Of gas excepting
one, which is seldom encountered. A
mask may be used for 10 hours before

Mothers Sacrifice.

Bishop Taylor Smith, chaplain gen.
eral of the forces, preaching at West
minister abbey, told story of self
sacrifice. A wounded Australian sol
der in military hospital, who was
asked about his home and family in
Australia, said: "There were six of
Us lads and mother. We all enlisted
and left mother alone. 1t was her
wish. She said she hoped no boy of
hers would mold back when the mother
country called. And now five of us
are asleep buried on the battlefields of
France, and / am the only one left"
There was few moments of silence
and then he added: ''But have not

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY
NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney and bladder trouble and
never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms Of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..

This little wrap has pockets id the
ends at the front. A mufr to wear
with it in cold weather is of sealskin,

In spite of the liking for old wraps,
nothing equals in popularity scarf and

in them and in capes with muffs to
match, and one need never question
their good style. Handsome furs do
not need to follow fashions whims-

be used. The juice may be extracted
by hand or in cider mill If light
colored product is desired. Heat this
liquid to the boiling point, place in
sterilized bottles or Jars and carefully
seal. The product may be sweetened
or not at the time of bottling.
When a red juice is desired the
grapes should first be heated to tenn

and then strained through clean cloth
or dripbag. Reheat the liquid after

Keep the bottles or cans in cool

Juice may be made not only from all
varieties Of grapes, but from some
other fruits, such as apples, pears,

The cardboard boxes or cartons to be
provided for these parcels are 8 inches

4 The American Red Cross has agreed
to provide these cardboard boxes and
to supervise their distribution to rela-

proper Christmas parcel label creden-

the procedure to be followed by per-
sons planning to send one of these par
cells abroad:
On receiving one Of these Christmas
parcel labels it should be presented at
the nearest chapter, branch, or aux
fliary headquarters Of the Red Cross,
where the holder will receive carton.
These labels are not expected to reach
this country before Nov. 1, but by
that time each Red Cross branch, will
have its allotment of boxes, based on
the number of soldiers in service over
seas from that community.
