FANCY CANDY BOXES
WILLNOT BE MADE

Atlanta.-Fancy candy boxes will
soon go right into the discard. The
young man may send his girl good
candy all right but it won't be in
fancy lace paper inside, and each bon
bon wrapped in its own little XII
mono.
The priorities committee of the
war industries board has decided that
every ounce of paper and every hour
of labor must be used where they
will do the most good-and certainly
nobody will protest that fancy candy
boxes ae essential to the welfare and
happiness of the country. Well, af-
ter all, some of us have often wonder
ed how much of S. note goes to
pay for the candy and how much for
the box.

Government Finds Fathers.

The death rate among children born
out of wedlock is VIGOROUSLY and uni
yersally far higher than that among
legitimate offspring. In the borough Of
Hampstead, London. it is 1917 as
against 60, and In New South Wales
1t is 1872 against 81. Norway, however,
has reduced the death rate to normal

NOT A PARTICLE
OF DANDRUFF OR
A FALLING HAIR
Sa, your hair! Double its
beauty in just a few
moments.
"Danderine" makes your hair
thick, glossy. wavy and
beautiful.

Within ten minutes after an ap-
plication of Danderne you cannot
find single trace of dandruff or
falling hair and. your scalp will not
itch, but what will please you most
you see new hair, fine and downy at
first-yes-but really new hair
growing all over the scalp.
Danderine is to the hair what
fresh showers of rain and sunshine
are to vegetation. 1t goes right to
the roots, invigorates and strength
ems them. It's eXhilarating, stimu-
.lating and life-producing properties
cause the hair to grow long, strong
and beautiful.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw 1t
through your hair. taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is
amazing-your hair will be light,
fluffy and wavy, and have an ap-
pearance of abundance; an incom-
parable luster, softness and luXuri-
ance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter for few cents and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any-that 1t has been neg
Iected or injured by careless treat
ment-that's all-you surely can
have beautiful hair and lots of it If
YOU will just try little Danderine.

will be attempted by the committee
this year, 1t was announced after the
meeting of the general committee
last evening. Speaking is to have
very little part on the program. A
brief prayer and short introduce
tions by Flavel L. Wright, chairman
of the general committee, will be
the only oratorical efforts OF the
evening.
Carroll;Ag of good old-fashioned
carols of their childhood by the big
crowds anticipated, is to form the
big part of the evening meeting.
That the entire assemblage may
have an opportunity to sing these
half-forgotten carols, plans are be-
ing made to have the words cast
on a huge screen. This celebration
will take place on Christmas eve
about the site of the big tree. An
other meeting will likely be held to
enliven the New Years eve observ-
ance. The Moorhead Knitting Com
pany chorus will be present to lead
the singing.
Have Two Sites
The site for the erection of the
big tree has not yet been definitely
selected. The choice has been mar
rowed down to two places, Front
and Market streets, the site of other
years, or Market Square, with the
committee favoring the latter. This
location will be the choice in the
event that traffic can be handled
after space has been allotted for the
tree. The definite location will be
announced after conference of
committeeman with the mayor and
police department heads.
A giant sixty-foot spruce tree,
Just cut near Covallen, Perry county,
has been offered to the tree COM
mittee, headed by Frank B. Musser,
and its acceptance is practically GER
tain. This tree, or another in the
event that this one is not accepted,
will be moved to Harrisburg at the
earliest practicable moment that
the committeeman may start deck
ing it in most gorgeous array. 1t will
be lighted every evening during the
holidays.
To complete final arrangements
for the big municipal celebration an
other meeting of the general COM
mittee will be held on December 20.
Committees to arrange the neces-
sary details announced last evening
are:

GIVEN HONOR NOT DESERVED
Error Of Learned Men Responsible for
America Being Named After
T. Ameripo Vespucci.

The story of how the new world re.
ceived the name of America is a strik-
ing example Of what publicity will ac-
compllsh. Amerigo Vespucci, highly
educated Florentine, was head of
business house In Seville, Spain, prob
ably as agent for the great trading
firm of the Medicis, and helped to fit
out one of the expeditions with which
Columbus sailed. When the latter's
monopoly was revoked, vespuccl I'M
dertook several voyages of exploration
on his own account, during which he
claimed In many letters to have been
the first to reach the mainland of the
new continent. giving the date as June.
&c, 1897.
On April 20, 1907, the learned heads
of the University of st. Die, In Lor-
raine, decided, Incorrectly. that he was
entitled to the honor Of discovery, Co
lumbus having only reached the
islands Of the West Indies, and that
the western hemisphere should bear
his name. The name America was.
therefore. first used in the book "Cos-
mographiae Introductio," by Martin
Waldseemuller, professor of cosmog-
rnphy at the university.
II has since been shown that Yes
pucci was preceded by both Columbus
and John Cabot. but 1t was too late.
the new world had been christened
America and the fact advertised In
print. The house where the meeting
was held at which the classical error
was made was still standing at st. Die
at the outbreak Of the war. and was
annually visited by many tourists from
both North and South America.

POI HAWAIIAN NATIONAL DISH
10 Being introduced Into the United
States and 10 Said to Be Meet
y inp With Favor.

Hawaii Is making q food-saving con-
tribution in the shape of poi. its ma
donal dish made from the bulb Of the
taro plant. Until 20 years ago pol was
made under primitive conditions, the
bulbs being peeled. boiled and pound
ed in a wooden trencher until a SEMI
liquid paste was formed. But today
modern sanitary machinery is used to
manufacture the product, under su-
pervision Of health authorities in the
island, and five factories at Hilo now
turn out several tons daily.
This new form Of poi IL being sent
70 the United States, reaching mar
kets as far away as New York city,
and a demand which began with Ha-
waiians who had come to the United
States is generally being extended to
Americans who have learned to like
the dish.
Poi is frequently used In Hawaiian
hospitals In the diet Of patients whose
stomachs are too weak to digest other
food, and the war interest In substi-
tute foods Is expected to lead to its
wider introduction elsewhere.
