A SURE WAY TO
END DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove candruff at once. and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
arvon from any drug store (this is all
you will need). apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most II not all. OF your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it. no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find ell itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly. and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
a hundred times better.-Adv.

OFFICIAL CARDS TO
BE ISSUED TO CARS
FOR SUNDAY USE

Owing to the violation of gasoline
less Sunday in some parts of the coun-
ty, the fuel administration announced
today that official cards to be placed
on cars that have right to run will
be issued.
The cards are in the form of govern
ment permits and must be placed in a
conspicuous place on the car. The
cards can be obtained from the chief
of police, and the various town mar
shals. They are seven by fourteen
inches. Cars carrying these cards will
escape being pelted with eggs and
clods and their occupants will escape
the indignities heaped upon those who
violate the order
Cards can be obtained after Thurs
day.
This will obviate the card system
that inevitably follow if gasoline is
not conserved.
The fuel administration announces
that violators will be arrested and
fined.

Doing Things in a Hurry

The ease and dispatch with which the man
power of the United States was registered on one
day last week proves that big things can be done
in short time if efficient organizations direct the
undertaking.
The readiness with which the American
people entered into the spirit of the task and
rushed it to conclusion shows that many under
takings are permitted to drag over long extent
Of time, the result being that much effort is
wasted and much money needlessly expended
The decision of the Wayne county Liberty
Loan committee to raise the allotment in three
days is happy one. The subscriptions can be
obtained in three days easily as in ten. Con-
centrated effort will bring results fast The
people of Wayne county know why the money
: must be raised. They need little Liberty Loan
education.

IT'S NOT YOUR HEART;

Kidney disease is no respecter Of

today can be traced back to the kid

The kidneys are the most impor-

the filterers, the purifiers of your

swept from the tissues by the blood
are not eliminated through the kid

Kidney disease is usually indicated
by WEAKNESS, sleeplessness. nervous

FREE TRADE is
SEEN IN PEACE
President Wilson Charged Indirectly
With Capitalizing the War
for Political Purposes,
by Fess.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
! WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Presi.
dent Wilson is capitaIizing the war
for political purposes, Chairman Fess,
of the republican congressional com
mittee today. charged in reply to, the
presidents letter asking election of
/ two democratic senators from New
I Jersey.
! Without making a direct charge,
Fess also questions whether the pres
ident does not desire the election Of
democrats to the senate for the pur.
pose of fastening free trade on the
country through treaty according to
the third OF his fourteen peace con-
ditions which recalls for the removal
of economic barriers.
President Wilson's letter asking
for the election of the democratic
senators from New Jersey will be
interpreted by many as an act of
the chief of the democratic party
rather than head of American govern
ment," Fess said.
This attitude in time of war will
be the subject of just criticism by
voters who have resented the CAPT
talization of the war for party pur-
poses.
The president in the third of his
fourteen points proposes by treaty
negotiations to determine legislation
touching tariff schedules by the re-
moval of all trade barriers.
THE far reaching significance of
this proposal may not have been de-
tected by the average citizen.
"a ,treaty removing trade barriers
is not law that can be repealed as
in the case of legislative enact
ment. 1t must stand until mutually
abrogated by the parties to the
treaty.
rs it possible that the presidents
desire for democrats in the senate
might arise from the intention to per-
petually fasten upon the country a
policy of free trade by committing
the nation under treaty obligation
which would take the question of
tariff-making out of the hands of the
people of the country as expressed in
congress and make it a contract be-
tween an executive committed to free
trade by and with the consent of a
democratic senate with like beliefs, !

DISCUSSING
WILSON'S NOTE
Senator Chamberlain Says 1t May be
Construed as Diplomatic De- .
mand for Unconditional
Surrender.

[United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Senator
Chamberlain. chairman of the senate
military affairs committee today,
said:
''The presidents note may fairly
be construed as diplomatic demand
for unconditional surrender. leaving
to the military authorities OF the
allies entirely the adjustment of
methods for evacuation of all occu-
pied territory and arranging for such
terms to be imposed upon the con-
quered as will make 1t impossible
after surrender-for the German gov
eminent and it's allies to again en-
danger the peace of the world.
THE president very properly
serves notice upon military autocracy
that he has no confidence in the
kaiser or any of those associated
with him, but that If any terms are
hereafter agreed upon. that agree
ment must be with representatives of
the people themselves rather than
with those who have been accustomed
to look upon treaties as scraps Of
paper unworthy to be observed if IL
suits their purpose to violate them.

nor the allies will be satisfied with
anything short of unconditional sur
render and / think the president
makes that perfectly clear in his
note, leaving to General Foch and
the allied commanders the adjust
ment of terms of any armistice that
may be entered into, to prescribe the
course that must be followed by the
German armies.
Il have sometimes thought there
ought to be an end of note passing
between Germany and the allied
powers. Their effect is to withdraw
the attention of the people of the
allied countries from the battle front
where the supreme sacrifice is being
made to weaken preparation for
forceful and continued drive towards
Berlin and to give the central powers
an opportunity to rearrange their pro-
gram for a further offensive
THE sooner our enemies are given
to understand that
nothing short Of unconditional sur
render will be accepted. the sooner
will peace come and with it the end
