To be possessed Of q head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter Of using a little Danderine.
it is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots Of it. Just get a
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but g few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply a little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance Of abundance,
freshness, flufliness and an incompara-
Bile gloss and lustre, and try as You
will you cannot find q trace Of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprou.ing out ell over your scalp
-Danderine Is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dan.
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and Il
lever fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten q cloth
with q little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking n
small strand at a time. Your hair viii
be soft glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

Clean Up Garden.

If you had trouble with potato bugs,
cutwOrms, or plant diseases this sea-
son you can do a great deal toward
controlling these pests next year by
giving the garden a thorough house
cleaning this fall. Man, kinds Of in
sects that feed on garden crops and
diseases that affect vegetables pass
through TOE winter protected by or on
the remaiEs Of the plants Old ca y
bage stalks, tomato vines and simil ir
material should be collected and burn
ed. The ground itself should be spad-
ed and sowed to rye or crimson Glow
er. Or II neither Of these crops can be
planted the ground should be allowed
to lie rough so that freezing will de-
strOy as many insects Is possible.

New YOrk.-The substitution of one
Idea for another as Il form of regener-
ating, rejuvenating and r~e-arranging
the human brain, is as old as psychol-
ogy. It was praCtiCed, AYERS a leading
fashion critic, probably, long before the
word was invented. 1t is one of the
worlds fundamental CreedS, moral,
physical and mental; and when some
or the r~eligiQniStS got hold of it as a
new doctrine. they were only exploit
ing what began before the Pyramids.
In the early part Of the war, those
who were not clever in the art, de-
pIored the extraordinary skill of the
Germans in being able to control the
masses by deliberately substituting a
new idea, covered up by a phrase and
hammered in by reiteration. They are
doing it today, and SO far it has never
failed them with their own people.
They use the word "defensiye' instead
Of ito conquer"
America is going through many
phases today, probably the most pow.
erful in her career, which have come
about through the substitution in her
composite brain Of one national idea
for another. And the work filters down
through crevices until it seeps through
the strata of underlying, and seeming
~ insignificant, by-prOducts Of our ma
tiOnal life.
1t is this seepage down to dress

idea has been substituted for another.
With all the critics against It's success,
the psychologists watch with interest
the public playing into the lands of
those who started the idea.
Today American labels are put into
French gowns. This is not a wild
statement. 1t is done at some of the
best houses. M~annequinS will come in
wearing frOcks which the public is told
are the designs Of the house itself, and
these models are sold to shops and
lesser dreSSmakers and pass through
cut the country as the creations of an
American designer. They were really
made in France, brought to this coun-
try by Importers, copied verbatim, and
turned out as American creations.
That is not honest; but that is not
exactly the point of this particular
story. The extreme interest centers in
the fact that the substitution of one
idea for another in the national brain
has compelled or persuaded the trade
to offer to the public whatever it can
that bears an American stamp.

CORN A CHAMPION CROP

Corn, on a given area, will pro-
duce more human food than any
other crop commonly grown on
American farms. This crop
heads the list in units Of energy
produced per acre, and is ahead
of all other crops except navy
beans and soy beans in tissue
building material. In the latter
element soy beans far outclass
all other crops, showing nearly
twice as much protein per acre
as navy beans, which rank Sec
Ond in this regard.
The dairy COW is the most eff
cient of farm animals in the pro
duction Of human food (milk)
and the hog is the most efficient
in the conversion of grain into
meat, producing five times as
much per acre Of crops as does
any other animal.
These facts and others are
told in the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture's Farmers

From an Acre of Staple Farm
Products" which gives an acre

work. These are strange twins of fash
ion to be born in this autumn Of 1918;
but women will overcome the handicap,
adopt both Of them, and, become i'm
menSely well pleased with themselves
before Thanksgiving day arrives. That
is the peculiar and mysterious quality
with which women are endowed; adj
justing themselves to a circumstance
and seeming to fit into it in a few
days.
The Japanese tOddle has already be-
come the walk of the moment among
the m~annequins. They caused i'm
m"nse amusement at the exhibitions of
gowns, because they exaggerated it
with none of the equally laughable ma
jesty that the French mannequins have
assumed for a decade.
We have no Margots or Audreys In
this country, but we have our Dolores
and Josephines Of the immediate past
and our Mabels and Madelines and
M%arguerites of the present; so we get
all the gestures that go with the new
gowns. 1t makes an exhibition of
clothes quite worth while seeing. 1t is
these mannequins who have introduced
the japanese toddle, and it is a neces-
sity if one would walk in some Of the
long, draped skirts that pull at the
ankles.
Callot makes evening gowns that
have a tight jet strap across the back
Of the ankle to hohble the material. No
matter what the nature Of the gown
above the ankles, it is narrow there to
the irreducible minimum. TUNES and
panels may float above it, minaret
Overskirts may swing outward with
their bell-shaped hens, but the hem Of
the skirt has taken to itself the dimen-
sions Of a mans trousers.
Adds Turned-Up Cuff.
1t has also added the turnod-up cuff,
and some Of tn really smart frocks
that are turned out have this cuff
when they are not draped. 1t breaks
the line Of the tube effect and is quite
good. 1t is made of peltry or Of a
cloth different from that which
makes the skirt, and it is often faced
with a bit Of brilliant blue that Cabot
combines with black.
Whatever else these Iirts may do,
they have made e skirt with
the flare an impossible garment.
Few wOmen dare to wear 1t. If
it is a plated or a full skirt
that hangs in straight lines, it's
hem Is pulled into an extremely mar
row strip of cloth or peltry; If 1t Is
the skirt that tried to tide many WON
en- over last season, the gored n
with fiaring seams at the side and a
bias front width, then alteration is
helpless. Rip it open If your mind Is
economically inclined. and make a
cuirass blouse of 1t, one which Is cut
in panels below the waist and held in
by a loose belt.
All the discarded materials Of the
household seem to go to these blOuses,
for we do not look with keen eyes upon
a house with a temperature OF GO de-
grees and a transparent blouse; II
makes tie gOOseflesh rise even now.

**Loyal Loggers'
(From Printers Ink)

1NHE spruce production division Of the
United States War Department is en-
gagged in an interesting campaign in
the Pacific Northwest, in which legitimate
advertising methods are being used extern
sivcly to "sell" the idea Of loyal and patri-
otic effort in war work to laboring men in
that section
The piece de resistance in this campaign
is poster in several colors, measuring 1919
by 21 inches, and printed on paraflincd jutc
tag board Gin order to withstand the torren-
tial rains of the region). This poster has
been distributed by thousands throughout
the great forests Of the Pacific Northwest,
in logging camps, at sawmills, etc. "Our
Country First" it says at the top, and there
follows picture of the flag upheld by the
brawny arm of labor. "If Spruce VIII Win
the War the Kaisers Lick cd,' is its cheer
1ul promise. followed Immediately by the
challenge, "Its Up TO You" Then, in a
circle below, are shown an airplanc, steam
boat and several logs on The shore. the
meaning of the picture being explained by
the slogan, Spruce for the air-fr for the
sea- At the bottom is the line which fur
nlshes the clcw to the whole advertising ac-
tivity of the War Department in the Pacific

and the actual details of organization have
been worked out by Lieutenant M. f. Crum-

poster and by other methods which we will
describe, it has grown in less than three
months to membership of more than 90
