Gen. March characterized as pre-

falsely reported as casualties.

The Nadir Of Brutality.

Amongst the revelations of German
brutality and foulness which we are
hearing from returned prisoners n
stands out for Its characteristic mean
ness and cunning. Many men We're re-
ported as being confined in certain
camps who had been near those
camps, if, indeed, they existed at all,
aud the parcels sent to them from
home to those addresses were stolen
by the authorities. One of these re-
turned prisoners. says a correspondent,
has never been In Germany at all, al
though his address was Friedrichsfell.
He was employed behind the German
lines in France until November II.
when he was turned loose with the
rest. German mentality cannot be un-
derstood by anyone but a German. 1t
has no redeeming sense Of decency.-

Within ten minutes after an appli.
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandrnff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at tirst-yes-but really
new -hair-growing all owe the scalp.
A little Dandcrine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how duh, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just inoisten q cloth with DAN
derine and carefully draw it 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 appearance Of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for q few cents at any drug
store or toilet counter, and prove that
your hair is as pretty and soft as any
that It has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it If you will just try q little Dan
derine.-Adv.

IF nature-study is to be begun for
the flrst time, either in school or
in the home. the easiest introduce
ton is by the time-honored topic OF
the weather in conjunction with the
day. A weather calendar naturally
follows, the days being marked with
appropriate colors and symbols, yell
low for the sunshine. grey for cloudy.

ing; why should not the children w
one of their very own? Theirs can be
a sheet OF drawing paper hung be-
side the calendar, on which n Of
the children may draw a flower, etc.
These drawings may not be works OF
art from the grown-up standpoint,
but they aid the child to observe and
has seen. He should be shown where
he can improve his work, but the
original sketch should never be inter-
fered with or criticised. A more &C.
curate representation can De given
in a separate lesson after the child
has a a chance for further observa-
ton, but in no way connecting this
with his first drawing on the calen-
dar, lest he become discouraged or
sclf-conscious and try to express some
thing which he has. not really seen.
To adopt a tree in springtirne is
another good plan. Have the children
sive the tree q name and so make of
it a companion. Always include the
family name of the tree. Frequent
visits must be mad to the tree because
It M ome to the children. Notice
how the buds are arranged on the
branches, which OF tnem grow most
rapidly. and what they turn into
leaves. flowers or branches. Try to
discover if the tree has any other
visitors; bright eyes will soon discov-
err many. Play q game around tho
tree: sing to it some such rhyme as
the following:
"Tilnc is never wasted listening tc
the trees;
If to Heaven We arose as srandly as
these,
Holding to each other half theil
kindly grace
HAPPY we We're worthier our human

Because the child, after making
mud pies is told that his face is dirty
he naturally concludes that all soil Is
