SHIPS IN CONSTANT PERIL
Sailing Without Lights, Navigators
Can Only Rely on QuIckness of Per-
ception and Professional Nerve

Even If the Huns are escaped, the
life of merchant ship man in these
days is far removed from beer and skit-
ties. An example of what they have
to go through is furnished by the mar
row squeak the Empress of Britain and
the Cardiganshire had one night in the
Aegean sea, Ralph e. Cropley writes
In the Atlantic. Both are big ships.
and they were loaded with troops and
going at full -zigzagging-no
light showing. 1t was one of those
nights when you can hardly see your
hand before you. There were no stars,
no -nothing-nothing but
to trust to luck and the ears of the
man on the bridge.
The captain of one of the ships has
told me that, before he knew it, there
was ship. bow on him, dead ahead.
Of course the first impulse was to shift
his helm; but if he did so, the dam
ger would be of one ship giving the
other glancing blow. Fortunately,
the other skipper appreciated this also.
Their nerve, in spite of several years
of war-Zone work, was still equal to
the occasion. 1t all happened in the
twinkling of an eye, and they passed
safely though there had been less than
80 feet separating the ships, and their
outswung lifeboats nearly scraped. The
captain of the Cardiganshire, though
he could not see him, heard the cap
tain of the Empress of Britain above
the noises of the sea-heard him yell:
For Gods sake, old man, don't shift
your helm !" so close were they on their
respective bridges high above the sea.
Instances Of this kind, which try
mems souls, nightly occur, and quite
frequently there are collisions and
tragedies in the pitch dark. The only
way that the two ships identified
themselves was ten days later, at Sa-
loniki, when the captain Of the Cardi-
ganshire heard the skipper of the
Empress of Britain asking a friend if
he knew what ship he nearly bumped
on certain night. / am sorry TO re-
port that the captain of the Empress
of Britain lost his life in the Halifax
explosion while doing hospital work.

Small Economies, Big Results.

In England every passenger on the
street cars and omnibuses receives a
small ticket in receipt for his fare.
By simply reducing the size of the
ticket by half an inch the London
county council reports a saving of 100
tons of pulp per annum.
A thread manufacturer in Great
Britain reports saving of $50 tons Of
pulp per annum by affixing but one
tiny label on the end of the spool Of
thread in place of one at each end as
formerly the practice.
The question of Senseless waste of
paper in the matter Of handbills was
dealt with and it was estimated that
more than 1000 tons of pulp were
absolute waste in this connection since
more than half the handbills were a
mere litter in the streets and on front
porches, and never read.
By making railroad tickets half the
thickness England has saved 400 tons
of pulp.
By using postcards instead of paper
and envelopes the numerous societies
and organizations in Great Britain
have saved 600 tons of pulp a year.

To be possessed of head of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
a matter of using little Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
small bottle of Kn0wlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, f1uffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at firSt-yeS-but really new
hair-sprOuting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be SOFT glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grin
BY DR.. LEE n. SMITH.

An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or a germ, we
must put up a good fight, and not be afraid
The influenza runs very brief course
when the patient is careful, and if we keep
the system in good condition and throw
off the poisons which tend to accumulate
within our bodies, we can escape the dis
ease. Remember these three C's-a clean
mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels
To carry off poisons from the system and
keep the bowels loose, daily doses of
pleasant laxative should be taken. Such
a one is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe,
root of jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by cold, and the pa
tient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two hours,
with lemonade. The Anuric tablets
were first discovered by DIR. Pierce, and.
as they flush the bladder and cleanse the
kidneys, they carry away much of the poi
sons and the uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet be given
regularly to strengthen the system and in
crease the vital resistance. The fever is
diminished by the use of the Anuric tab
let's, but in addition, the forehead, arms
and hands may be bathed with water
(tepid) in which tablespoonful of sal
aratus has been dissolved in quart. After
an attack of grip or pneumonia to
build up and strengthen the system, obtain
at the drug store good iron tonic. called

of the fighting in the air, the greater
part of which takes place in the early
morning hours. Up to the present time
the chief obstacles met by the daylight
aerial photographers is that the anti

of the detail OF the enemy lines is
therefore lost. 1t is held, continues

Crime Conditions in Germany.

Criminality in Germany augments
without cessation. To quote Socialist
Mehring before the reichstag, lying,
theft and swindling are not offset by
military glories. The Bishop of Metz
in his London pastoral speaks of i'm
morality, theft and unbridled license.
In Berlin in the fall OF 1916 there was
an average of 300 daily complaints of
theft. The insecurity on the public
thoroughfares is great. There are 81
600 criminals whose terms at hard la
Dor have expired who are at large,
banned alike from the public and pri-
vate employ. In the Dusseldorf dis
trict in the first half of 1917 5000 ado
lescents were convicted of crime, and
various buildings have had TO be con-
verified into warehouses and places OF
detention for these persons.-La

The New Suit.

The country boy had come to visit

on his wardrobe, but he soon saw that
things were not quite right.

him feel more at ease, said: How nice

suit?" From the depths came the re-
