NOT A PARTICLE
OF DANDRUFF OR
A FALLING HAIR
Save your hair! Double its beauty
in just a few
moments.
I _
“Danderine** makes your hair
thick glossy wavy and
beautiful.
Within ten minutes after an ap-
plication 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 a few weeks’ use.
when 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 sun-
shine are to vegetation. It goes
right to the roots invigorates and
strengthens them. Its exhilarating
stimulating 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 brit-
tle and scraggy just moisten a cloth
with Danderine and carefully draw
it through your hair taking one
small strand at a time. The effect
s amazing—your hair will be light
fluffy and wavy and have an ap-
pearance of abundance; an incom-
parable lustre softness and luxur-
ance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any drug store or
'.oilet counter for a few rents and
prove that your hair is as pretty
md 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
of it if you will just try a little
Danderine

BRITISH SHIP
LOSSES AGAIN
SHOW INCREASE
Twenty-one Vessels Includ-
ing 18 of more Than
1600 Tons Sunk.
IN 9 MONTHS 959 LOST
Enormous Damage Inflicted
by U-Boats on Mercan-
tile Marine.
By th® Asocial rd Press.
Increased loss of merchantmen is
shown in the current British a.id
French reports. Through mines and
submarines the British lost 21 ves-
sels including eighteen of more
than 1000 tons or nine more than
the previous week when twelve in-
cluding eleven of the larger tonnage
were sunk. French losses were nine
steamci's of more than 1600 tons as
compaied with two in the previous
week.
Many Submarines sunk.
December shipping losses were
but slightly higher th:.n those in
November which established a low ।
record. Submarine sinkings also are
said to have been more common ih
December than in any previous
month being greater th; n the num-
ber the Germans pronably were able
tc build.
The severe weather conditions are
believed to have added to the effec-
livenecs of tWe submarines in that it
lompelled them to operate closer to-
gether and nearer to shore. This
fact may account in part for the in-
crease in the number of U-boats
caught by the allied tleets.
Summai > for Week.
The British summary for the
week follows:
Arrivals 2111; sailings. 2074.
British merchantmen 1600 tons or
over sunk eighteen including two
previuisly; under lb up tons three;
fishing vessels none.
Vessels unsuccess* uily attacked
eight.

LONDON Jan. 3 —The ’rimes’
naval vol real undent commenting on
the week’s submarine figures says:
’ There is an increase in the list
of sinkings of eight ships most of
them large ones. Although not
quite the worst week in December
the one which ended at midnight
Saturday contained the sinking of
inure big ships than any other week
in the month. Figures on traffic
were also unsatisfactory for they
continue to show a drop.
’ The average loss of ships weekly
in December is above that of No-
x ember. Like the number of ships
sunk the number of vessels that es-
caped varied. It is not possible tu
tind any - lose relation between the
number of ships attacked and the
number of vessels arriving at or sail-
ing from British ports until the sta-
tistics of the last ten months of 191;
are omplete. It is useful however
to show the relation between the fig-
ures for December and those of eai -
lier months.
677 Big Ships la»L
“From March to November. a
period of forty weeks 677 vessels
• >ver 1600 tons were sunk. The aver-
tgc for four weeks was b 4 whk h ex-
ceed^ by nine the number of big ver I
seis during the juonth of December. I
During the first nine months cov-
ered I y the returns the total num-
ber of vessels attacked including
fishing beats was 1636 of which
escaped or about two-thirds.
"It is interesting tu note that »n
Decembei the number of ships es-
caping bears about the same propor-
tion to tiie number of ships attacked.
’The fact that 959 British csem
of all classes were sunk during nine
months by mines and submarines en-
ables one to get a conception of the
damage which the enemy has in-
ilicted on the mercantile marine ot
this countrx. It is only however by
having the figure of tonnage before
us that on can conceive the extent
4>f the depredation caused by the Ü-
boats.
Campaign Not Entire Success.
"Tne satisfactorx feature is that
in one way at least the campaign 1
has failed. The submarines have |
not frightened the officers or men
of the merchant service or prevent-
ed the shipping of the allies and
neutrals from using British ports.
ith the shortage of so man}
foodstuffs. including meat the ix -
ported daily sinking of nearly three '
I ships a day is an unpleasant fact. I
Th?rc is reason to hope however 1
that before long measures which are I
| being taken to defeat the U-boats
will show marked results.
MAW SUBMARINES SUNK.
German supply of U-Imkils Said to
Be licrrcasing.
j LONDON. Jan. 3.—Although the
sinking of ships of large tonnage in
|the last week has been rather heavy i
the total fur December is character-i
i ized as satisfactory. being onh ■
i^lightly larger than for November.'
which established a low record. The ।
tonnage sunk during December was j
well below that of any month pre-
ions to September. Against this.!
however the sinkings of submarines
were greater in December than in |
(any previous month since the war 1
। began.
Naval men declare that more sub-
m irinos were sunk in December than
ds wen a Ide f a
1 laun h. so the German submarine
piavy max now bo said to have begun
i actually to shrink—a process which
j the allies hoj e to accelerate rapidly
j with the increasing effectiveness of
j naval methods. Owing to the se-
i y rr e weather the submarines have
been compelled ♦ < on. entrate and l
। work < loser to «bor»*. This. n«*rhap«
accounts for the larfe number of
submarines emi-ht. One of tho^*
w: «• rammed in the most casual man-
j ner ny a slow coastal steamer al- j
most within gunshot of land.
I Reports of encounters with sub-1
beauty
marines in the last three months l
indicate that whatever improve-
ments have. been made in the U-1
boats they are not nearly to efficient .
or deadly as they wue earlier iu the !
year. This is due partly to th*
lower standard of their torpedoes ]
and also to deterioration in the qual-
ity of their crews. In "U-buatme
as in aviation experienced men are
irreplacable and novices stand a
pour chance The American naval
men have learned to identify the
German U-boat etcran mertlx ux
the character of his operation and
can tell when the novice comes on
their boat by the amateurishness of
his methods.
Mine laying submarines continue
very active and figures given the
Associated Press show that last .vear
more than 4 600 German mir.es were
swept up in British waters alone.
The lane through which the Ameri-
can destroyers enter and leave their
base is a favorite spot for German
mine lax ers and sweepers arc kept
constantly at work there.

Dunavant Ached From Head
to Foot With Rheuma-

"Rheumatism had me in its

relieved me twelve months ago."
said B. N. Dunavant 934 Johl

’’When I was only seven years
old.’’ Mr. Dunavant continued. "I
wa» taken down xvith rheumatism
end for two years I was unable to
v: '.k and had to be carried about
by a nurse. 1 had it in three
forms muscular sciatic and in-
flammatory and I ached from the
tc-p of mx head to my feet and I
s*! ply suffered agony.
"1 was down for two and three
months at a time unable to do
anx thing and my left arm got so
1 couldn’t raise it from mx side.
When 1 would have an attack of
i iflammatory rheumatism 1 would
have to lay my arm on a pillow*
and many a night 1 suffered so I
uruldn't sleep a wink. And wlm'u
the sciatic rheumatism was at its
vurst the pain was so great I
couldn’t lie in bed. I would have
to get up and walk the floor
"1 tried medicine after medicine
and took two trips to Hot Springs
! but nothing gave me more than
temporary relief. Some of the med-
' icn e I took was so strong it got
imy stomach all upset. After tak-
im* my second bottle of Tanlac 1
noticed 1 could raise my left arm
xi.ihout it hurting me. I kept on
taking it until I used six bottles
anc I haven’t had a rheumatic
pain since I finished my last bottle
about a year ago. 1 have even
gone through the past bad winter
xxiihout a pain. Tanlac helpe<l my

t ‘.y conference next June ur before

The title of the report is "laibor

port declares that what has to be
। .(constructed after the war is not
th.s or that government department
or social machinery but ’society it-
x । I.
~ l he report suggests a minimum
wage of 30 shillings weekly as the
f 't rx lowest statutory base line fur
i the least skilled adult workers and
that the hours uf labor wherever
] practicable should not exceed IS a
week. It urged that the govern-
ment should prepare tor the demob-
t iiization period of all kinds of public
w orks including the building of mil-
lions of new cottages for the re-
p housing of the population.
s The report demands the removal
i ot ail war-time restrictions on free-
- . com of speech and publication an 1
t ueclares against the continuance of
- conscription a moment longer than
1 is imperatively required by the war.
i It insists upon the abolition of the

Meat Unnecessary
SAYS 1. H. wvrsox M. I». |
Meat is the most expensive article
| of diet and the least necessary
j Add milk cheese* fruit fresh fish. 1
to vegetable articles and you have I
a good diet. The rheumatic should
i abstain from meats or eat very ।
sparingly. It is a xvell-known fact!
that in gout serious organic dis-|
: ease of the kidneys occurs. Such I
scientists as Futchvr. Minkowski. 1
Jians Vogt and Reach have shown 1
That uric- acid in excess is retained
rn the blood when the kidneys do
not help excrete this poison. Uric
a<*id retained within the body is '
believed to be the preceding stage]
' «»r cause of Bright’s disease. The I
excessive use of nitrogenous food or'
neats often increases uric- acid.
High living intestinal indigestion i
constipation disturbanee of the liver i
frequent chilling of the body— all 1
result in retaining within the I>odx
an excess of uric acid.
The best xvay to overcome this
1 condition and prevent rheumatism -
and gout is to drink plenty of water. 1
' sax. a pint of hot xvator morning
and night with lemon juice squeezed
into it. and take Anuric (double;
strength» three limes a day. This
can be' obtained at any drug store.
• This is my invariable prescription
for the rheumatic person and it us-
ually follows that the rheumatic i
i pains in the back of the neck or i
limbs w ill disappear. This Anuric I
J by its tonic effect upon the kid-!
| neys encourages them to greater
j activity and thereby the uric acid .
'is thrown out of the system. It is]
' also well to prevent constipation and
