Hair Stops Falling Out And Gets

Your hair becomes light, wavy,

soft, lustrous and beautiful as a
young girls after a 'Danderine

and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small

cleanse the hair of dust, dirt and

Besides identifying the hair at

But what will please you most
will be after a few weeks use

Nat Goodwins Passing

Life's final curtain for Nat Goodwin
leaves our stage bcreft of one Of its most
notable figures, because he was SO me-
thing OF a theatrical institution SIS wcllas
distinguished individual actor and
there arc few capable of taking his place
IN either capacity.
To the younger element Of theatre
gocrs, unfamiliar with him in the great
roles of his hcyday, his much-marricdness
may have made him an object Of no
torietv, but to the elder devotces Of the
play his fame was built upon a mucs more
secure foundation than excessive matri-
rronv and they had for his art a sincere
respect and a long-pledCed affection.
Eis comedy was true comedy and he
was one Of its foremost exemplars. To
see him in The GiIded Fool IAN Ameri-
can Citizen, or DAVID Garrick was to
see the doors Of humanity's inmost being
wide open through the call OF laughter
not the laughter Of tinsel-and-gawd
boisterousncss or vulgarity, but OF motive
and character and Wit and the smile that
so often has its complementary and soft
ening tear.
We who knew him from in front Of the
footIights shall miss i'm, but not more
so than the world tehind those lights

EXTRA SESSION IMPENDING.

1t now seems to be the pretty general
opinion among congressional leaders of
both parties that an extra session of the
new Congress cannot be avoided. But
SIX Of the is regular appropriation bills
have been passed and there are numerous
questions Of great Importance awaiting
the action Of Congress, 1t is intimated
that Congress will be summoned in
extra session in May which would give
time for the passage Of leftover aPpropria
tion bills before the beginning Of the
new fiscal year.
The question of an extra session has
held much interest for the politicians
Republicans are known 10 have been
anxious for one, though unwilling to
filibuster or delay the work Of Congress
in order 10 force it. Upon the other hand
the friends Of President Wilson we're
certain that he wished TO avoid an extra
session if possible; at least that he did
not care to have Congress meeting while
the peace conference was concluding its
| labors.
But circumstances, seem to have con-
trolled the question more than the wishes
, Of either Republicans or Democrats.

TO the time when the new Congress shall

PRESS COMMENT.
ALIEN EXCLUSION LAW.

As a matter of normal policy the pas
sage of alien exclusion law would be
something to frown upon. Under existing
conditions it is something to consider
with not a little sympathy. Unless the
bars shall be put up as proposed by Tine
Burnett law, that fixes the period OF ex-
cusion for the term of four years. there
will likely be n rush OF emiprants to the
United States seeking more favorable
economic environment. Yet there is need
for all such persons in their own countries
even Russia, in case that country should
come under constructive influences. Inc
enormous loss of electives through the
war and the vas' destruction that VIII
have to he made good and the newer
impulse of trade and industry that Will
manifest itself call for the retention OF
the working factors of Europe in Euro
pean lands.
If there should be a rush of emigrants
to the United States it would include a
very large number of undesirables. and
the United States would be made the
stamping ground for the dangerous
erraiics of Europe. There is already a
well-pIanncd raid upon this country by
the radical ovcrtbrowers. The United
States has hospitality at present mainly
for its own men returning home and can
not afford to share the opportunities for
employment with horde of aliens. There
are some sound reasons TO be advanced
in favor cf the exclusion law, as regrattable
as is such legislation ordinarily. The
proposed law has exceptions that would
keep it from being harsh.-Baltimore

SOUTH AFRICA.

The TIer5og Nationalists in South
Africa tried to wreck the Union during
the war by making nm alliance with the
Germans in Southwest Africa and risIn g
in revolt That attempt was squelched
bv the prompt vigor of General Botha,
who sent troops against the rebels. Since
then the Botha government has been
handsomely sustained in the recent cleo
tions, but still the irreconcilables among
the Beers chafc and fret The nerve they
have is shown in an address they recently
had presented TO King George. 1t was TO
the effect that the Nationalist party be
permitted TO send delegates to the peace
conference to plead for independence
for South Africa.
The matter was referred 10 the Colonial
Office, which informed the sendcrs of the
application that the imperial govern
mcnt was able to deal only with the govern
ment Of dominion, and thus could not
recognize them General Botha is TO
attend the conference with the intention
of urging that Southwest Afrlca-the
German colony-be permanently added
to the dominion. There Us no doubt
that at least sort Of protectoratc ought
to be established, making the Pretoria
government responsible for maintaining
order in German Southwest Africa The
granting of Premier Eotha's wish will go
far toward solidifying the Boer sentiment
in favor Of South Africa S connection
with the British Empire and putting TO
rout the Herzogtes Toronto Mail.
