SAVE YOUR HAIR! A SMALL BOTTLE STOPS DANDRUFF Every bit of dandruff dis appears and hair stops
 coming out. Try this! Your hair appears glossy, abundant, wavy
 and beautiful.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very life; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast. A little Danderine tonight--now time-Will surely save your hair.
 Get a small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter for few cents, and af- ter the first application your hair will take on that life, lustre and luxuriance which is so beautiful. It will become wavy and fluffy and have the appear ance of abundance, an incomparable gloss and softness; but what will please you most will be after just a few weeks use, when you will actually see a lot of fine, downy hair-new hair growing all over the scalp.
 Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhilarating and life producing prop critics cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful-Adv.

SENDS BIRTHDAY NOTE
 ID RElCHSTAG

London, Jan 29-Emperor William in telegram responding to- birthday congratulations from President Kaempf of the reichstag says:
 ''I begin a serious and decisive year with proud thankfulness for the inn mense successes which have gained by our indefatigable warriors and their brilliant leaders. I know to what extent the loyal work of the people at home has contributed to these successes and how much dis tress and anxiety had to be borne by everybody. Those are imperishable pages of glory which last year were added to German history and in which the great army leaders, the simple workers and the lonely widows inscribed their names.
 My ardent daily wish is that my beloved people, without arrogance but with a deep consciousness of their power and right, may externally and internally in the wish of self discipline preserve their union until the final victory of our arms lays the foundation of the glad news of the unfolding of their mental and eco- homie power"

CONSERvEFAT AND HELP ELIMINATE
 WASTE

Right along in line with the cam paign for the conservation of food and the elimination of waste, is the question of the right use of fats. The food administration is urging all loyal citizens to be especially careful tc avoid waste and also eXtravagant use of these substances. The average housewife, if she will but take a little extra care, may conserve a great deal of fat in her own kitchen. For ex- ample, suppose she has cooked. ham. After it is removed from the kettle in which it has been boiled, the kettle should be set away carefully in a cold place. Then, when the fat in the liquid has grown cold, it will form a, solid cake over the surface. This should be skinned off carefully, put into a sauce pan with a little boil ing water, and a piece of raw white potato, brought to a boil and allowed to boil gently for fifteen minutes or so. Set the dish aside again until the fat has become cold and has hardened. Skim it off a second time and heat, this time without any water, in order to dry out all that may have remain ed in it. Remove the potato also, then pour the fat into a jar for future use. This will be found to make a clear, white fat, which is particularly delici- ous for frying potatoes in. Drippings from beef, pork, mutton, bacon, chickens may be similarly clarified and used for various purposes. A few drops of lemon juice may be add ed, to aid in whitening the fat.
 Chicken fat is said to be particu larly good for shortening in cakes When trying out chicken or goose fat, it is thought wise to let the fat stand over night first in salted water. 2. Oleomargarine, once rather gener- ally looked upon as a mere imitation of butter, is now occupying a much more honorable position, no longer considered as an imitation, but as a good substitute, with a place of it's own That place Is not, as. a rule, on the dining room table, but in the kitchen, where the cooking is done. There oleomargarine may be put to almost any use, for which butter has heretofore been demanded.
 Clarified pork or beef fat, oleomar- garine, hardened vegetable fats and sour cream may be used in the mak- ing of biscuits, mullins and griddle cakes. Chopped suet is good for many buildings and for various cakes as well. Grated chocolate furnishes an element of fat in cakes and buildings. Oleomargarine may be used in making pastry-and some of the New York hotels are using rye flour in their pas try as well.
 Deep frying, as always considered necessary for the making of such well-liked delicacies, is not popular with the food administration at pres ent; it uses up too much fat, they think. BSt if the housekeeper feels that she must indulge in deep frying, they request her to use oils, vegeta bic oils and clarified drippings for the purpose, and then to do as little fry ing as possible. For sauteing such things as potatoes, hominy and rice, for example, they say that a good savory fat for the purpose may be obtained by dropping leaf of sum- ner savory, or a clove of garlic into the oil or drippings or whatever fat is used for the purpose.

Le Colosse then started to drink and to marry heavily. Some of his marriages only lasted three days. He says that one of them, of only P hours duration, was the happiest per- iod of his life.
 Pierards fifth wife was Carolin, a Russian singer, who was known as La Femme aux Brilliants." She own ed necklace of pearls and other jewels worth close to a million dol lars, he ayers.
 Le Colosse's sixth trip to the altar was at The Hague. Two sons result ed from it-Antone and George, who are now with his wife's mother. He says this wife wasn't on the square with him.
 His seventh, wife, Marguerite Bu- tinier, whom he married at KisseI- kirsch, presented him with a daugh- ter, named after herself. One day he, his wife and 8 friend were out in sailboat, when a big storm arose 1 A wave hit the boat, the wife and a friend were washed overheard. T was too huge,' the Colossus ex- plains, flor any wave to move me. l clung to the mast and yelled until help came"
 Pierard then started looking around for a perfect woman. He visited va rious countries, marrying women of ltdifferent nationalities on trial, but none would put up with his drinking, and he couldn't stand their nagging.
 Princess Sonminoff, a Balkan lady of high degree, whom he married at Tiflis, divorced him in three months. j Elvin Gate, a Norwegian girl whom he married at Christina, died in con- finement
 Julia Herni, a dancer, was his 18th wife. They married at Presburg.
 Felice Herman, the 18th wife, was a German, singer.
 Mariala Italina, the next venture was a Spanish dancer. l Pierard has been living with his present wife, Julia Jacobson, who is wealthy Russian, for 10 years. He says he hopes she'll bury him, ns she is an ideal wife. It was she who stopped his bout with John Barley corn. Whenever she scolds him he cries.
 "The way to win a woman," says ! 1 ; IO lIGcl IlGI hlIluly. I16dp Ipraises upon her Give her presents If you don't love her after doing all these things for her, divorce her.
 Pierard has done a lot of moving picture work. He was the Fatty Ar buckle of France. For three years he was a chef for King Albert of Bel gium.
 "The Crown Prince of Germany once wanted me to be his chef" the mighty Pierre says, "and I wish I had taken the job, for now the war would be over'
 You can draw your own conclu- sions as to what he means by that statement.
 All of his wives have been petite The youngest was 16 years of age, the oldest 36 -
