Great Britain in its grip, is of differ.

an instance being the mythical Strait

Nearly all Germany's spies in this
country attempted TO forward their

the censor's staff it was rarely these
letters, even although written in in
visible ink, went undetected.
All spies were not arrested imme-

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.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
small bottle of Knowlton'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, fiuffiness and an incompara-
bic 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 1t
never fails to stop falling hair Mt once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is. moisten cloth
with a little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t 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.

His story was told by buddy of

terrupted with:
Say, If you We're fighting undsr a
man like Colonel Sanborn, our cord
mander, you couldn't help pitching in
with every drop of blood in your body.
Do you know what Colonel Sanborn
did at Chipilly ridge in August, when
our outfit was so badly shot up? We
were up there with nothing to eat or
drink for a couple of days until Col
onel Sanborn personally brought ra-
lions to us on his back under the most
terrific fire that | ever experienced
He did that because he wanted to
be sure that the food would reach Us
and he figured the best way TO make
sure was to carry it himself. Who
wouldn't fight like the devil under II
commander like that?"
keane went TO the Mexican border
with the First and re-enliSted later for
overseas service. He was decorated by
King George for his work at Hhmel ON
