Within ten minutes after an appli.
ecation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace Of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at first-yes-but really
new hair growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty Of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw 1t through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is amazing hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy, and have
an appearance Of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine for 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 little Dan
'derine.-Adv.

EBERT, PRESIDENT OF GERMANY

Pealing church bells announced
that the Germans had chosen the head
of their own state. Friedrich Ebert,
former saddler and socialist leader,
appeared before the theater 20 min
utes later and received as president of
Germany those plaudits formerly
marking the appearance Of the mon
arch who once stigmatized the party
to which President Ebert belongs as
being made up Of men unworthy to
bear the name Of German" Despite
the certainty of Herr Ebert's election,
the theater at Weimar was crowded
beyond anything previously seen since
the opening of the national assembly.
The gallery resenbled the reichstag
tribune in the old days, with men and
women in gala attire damned in every
available inch of space. The boxes
and BIZ Monies were also crowded to
their. st capacity. Great crowds

Ribbon Workbao.

A good working can be made from
two yards of Dresden ribbon six and
one-half inches wide and one en-
broidery hoop. Cut two rounds Of
cardboard, the size of the hoop for
the bottoms of the "double-decker"
bag, pad with sheet cotton and cover
with The ribbon. Divide the remaining
ribbon in halves and seam up both
pieces. Then sew one to a cardboard
round and fasten at the top of the out
side rim of the embroidery hoop. Make
the top part Of the bag in the same
way. save that the cardboard bottom
Is to be sewed to the inside of the
embroidery ring, which has been GOV.
cred by the silk ribbon.

There are some straw hats that may
be washed with safety. A shape which
does not contain glue or shellac may
be cleaned in this way. First dust
the hat thoroughly, using brush and
cloth, and by shaking out the freed
particles of dirt. Then make warm
suds of soap and water and scrub the
hat with nail brush. When it is dry
rub over it the white of an egg beat
en- to a froth.
Chiffon is washed in warm suds, for
which bland soap is used. The wash
ing will be successful if the chiffon Is
handled gently. After rinsfng fold in
towel and run through wringer.
When partially dry it should be ironed

hot iron. Chiffon wells are Numbered

Colored ribbons of good quality will
wash if care is taken in the process,
which is the same as that for chiffon,
except that they are ironed on the
wrong side. A very fine way for fresh
ening ribbons is to pull them across
escaping steam from the teakettle. A
contrivance of tin is used for this pur-
pose, which fits over the spout and

Here is a sprightly dress of wool,
which may be made of any of the soft
and substantial weaves that hang
gracefully. 1t is cut on the simplest
lines, plain as to skirt and waist. with
meagerness of trimmings that

with young people. 1t boasts small
turnover collar, bordered with a mar
row braid and the sleeves are INDUCED
in band of the same braid and four

noticed that the skirt is longer than

SEATTLE'S BATTLING MAYOR

Ole Hanson, Seattle's battling
mayor, who quelled that city's big
strike in way that has evoked ma
tion-wide admiration, says what he
means and means what he says.
Mayor Hanson, when he was trav-
cling south to seek his fortune many
years ago, was in railroad wreck at
Marathon, Tex. Two of his children
and his wife escaped with slight in
juries; but his baby girl, Dorothy, only
fourteen months old, was burned and
received fatal injuries. Since then he
has strong prejudice against riding
in trains. He drove to Seattle in a
covered wagon all the way from Ra-
cine, Wis, the family home and his
birthplace. He went with two chill
dren; now he has ten.

New Form Of Trimming.

Enormous braided buttonholes with
buttons at one end form the trimming
of some of the new dresses put out by
Premet. On one there are three of
these, forming the trimming of the
bodice, the topmost one being at least
six inches long, the center one per-
haps five inches and the one nearest
the waistline possibly four inches.
Four graded buttonholes of similar
construction trim the upper part Of the
front panel of the skirt.

What 1. the Cause Of
Backache?
Backache?
By DOCTOR CORNELL

Backache is perhaps the most com.
mon ailment from which women sut-
fer. Rarely do you find anybody free
from it. Sometimes the cause Is OBJ
scure, but DIR. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
a high medical authority, says the
cause is very often form Of cntarrh
that settles In the delicate membranes
of the feminine organs. When these
organs are inflamed, the first symp-
tom is baclsache, accompanied by bear
ing down sensations, weakness, I'M
healthy discharges, firregularity, paIn-
full periods, irritation, headache and
o general rundown condition. Any
woman in this condition is to be pitt
led, but pity does not cure. The
trouble calls for DIR. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription, which is separate and
distinct medicine. for women
1t is! made Of roots and herbs put up
without alcohol OF opiate of any kind for
Dr.. Pierce uses, nothing else in his pre-
scription. Favorite Prescription is a nat
uruF remedy for women, for the vegetable
growths Of which it is made seem to have
been intended by Nature for that very
purpose. Thousands. of girls and women,
young and old, have taken it, and thousands
have written grateful letters to DIR. Pierce
saying ii made them we'll. In taking
Favorite Prescription, it is reassuring to
know that it goes straight to the cause Of
the trouble. There. is but one way to-
overcome Sickness, and that is to overcome
the cause. That is precisely what Favor
lite Prescription is intended to do.

Peace is not Signed

If the military power of the Allies
were reduced too rapidly and too
sweepingly, what security would
there be for the acceptance by the
enemy of the Peace terms which the
Allies are preparing to dictate? That
it should be necessary to ask such a
question is entirely granted to Ger
many such dangerous indulgence as
the liberty to keep her armies embod-
led. The German Press is already
proclaiming the fact that those armies
are unbeaten. Any lack of precaution
on our part might well invite the at
tempt to prove that claim to be true.
Until the Peace is settled and fulfilled
the Allies cannot afford to take any
risks of losing by negligence what
they have at long last won, by hard
fighting. That this last burden
should be laid on our fighting men,
who have already made such sacrifice,
is hard indeed. But it adds one more
item to the nations already heavy
load of obligation, and in doing it
so should quicken still further the
remembrance Of that obligation

Prohibition

The nation has adopted prohibition
and the action of the Vermont House
in referring the question to a COM
mittee prevented the Green Noun
tain state from being in the list of
the necessary three-fourths that will
make the nation bone dry. 1t is pre-
dicted in Washington that the meas
ure will be effective a year from this
time and it cannot be changed so long
as there are 13 states in the Union
that desire to keep it.
National prohibition was fastened
by the war and the fact that the Eu-
ropean nations in the past few years
have placed great restrictions on the
liquor traffic helped the movement in
the United States. The fact that no
state has yet voted against the meas
ure shows that it is no local senti-
ment, but Il. nationwide decision that
John BArleycorn must go.
That the Vermont legislature did
not Take prompter action is regrett-
able and any attempt now to do any
thing but accept the amendment
would be foolish in the extreme.

poses to capitalize the day as an idea

No American ever wrote more
wisely on the habits of thrift and the
sayings of Poor Richrd's Almanac
have become classic. The United
States government needs the people,
money today as never before to COM
plete their far-reaching program of
reconstruction. And the individual as
we'll needs to cultivate the habit of
savings which has made the French
people the most thrifty on earth and
added to the stability of a great ma
ton.

TO THE STARS AND STRIPES

(Frederick A. Wells in lions Herald)
Wave high, o banner of beauty!
Float far, fairest emblem of right!
Thy stripes that bold tyrant shall
punish;
Thy stars shall illumine his night
Thy folds, by soft breezes fondled,
Shall fetter the war lords of lust;
While armies beleagured shall love
thee,
And under thy shadow shall trust.
Thy staff, so stalwart and sturdy,
Thereon weary nations shall lean;
Or better betimes be the sceptcr
Held'ou by Columbia, Queen.
To peoples of earth seeking safety,
And sailing DER seas to be free,
Who, furnishing, fall at her footstool,
To find it's fulfilment in thee.
Float far, fairest emblem OF freedom!
To the uttermost corners of earth ;
Till peoples and nations, uniting,
Count blessed the day of thy birth.
Each one of them standing on tiptoe,
Extending her fingers afar,
And touching thy folds in her fond
ness,
Shall pluck from thy blue field a
star.
A star to be set in her own flag;
A star to shine forth in its sky;
A bright star of hope for the hope
less;
A starlight that never shall die.
