1 HAIR COMING OUT? *]
Dandruff causes a feverish irritation
of the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loos
en and then the hair comes out fast. To
stop falling hair at once and rid the
scalp of every particle of dandruff, pet
a 25-cent bottle of Danderine at any
drug store, pour a little in your haiH
and rub it into the scalp. After a few
applications the hair stops coming out
and you can't find any dandruff.—Adv.

SLICING THE BALL
I A Few Hippy and Helpful Hints for
Gloomy Golfers
A large percentage of golf •gloom
arises from slicing. A 'golfer's idea of
hades is to stand on n hot tree for a
! million years and slice balls out of
bounds. The chronic slieer is a wretch,-
led figure, and he falls as low as he
can when, giving up hope of ever hit
ting a straight ball, he aims a quarter
of a mile to the left of the flag.
There are at least seven causes of
slicing. The commonest is the vicious
practice of bringing the club head down
outside the line of the ball's flight.
This imparts a rotarv motion to the
ball, and the flight of it describes a
crescent. You Ho this nine times out
of ten. But do not despair. We can
help you. We can teach you to hit in
side the line.
Buy from a commission merchant a
basket of very, very bad «ggs and
give these to the caddie to carry. When
you tee your ball or come up to it on
the fair green, place an egg about three
inchtaa. away from the ball, and an
inch or so back of it. Now swing,
being careful to keep the club head
from straying beyond the line; other
wise you will smash the egg and scat
ter the malodorous contents. Before a
dozen eggs are broken you will quit
slicing or be asked to resign from the
club.
If the egg remedy fails, procure a
piece of dynamite and use that in
stead. This will effect a permanent
cure.—B. L. T. in Chicago Tribune.
Knew When to Disobey
What Joffre's feeling were when, at
the end of this eight hundred miles'
arduous march, he found his comrades
dead can be better imagined than de
scribed. What was more galling still,
he found instructions at Tinvbuctoo tell
ing him to return immediately and
leave a junior oftioer in charge, "pre
paratory to evacuation.'' With the in
stinct of genius. Joffre knew when to
disobey. He stayed, and by doing so
ultimately earned the gratitude of the
French government. For not only did
he administer a crushing blow to the
Tuaregs, clearing the district round j
about for two hundred and fifty miles,
and. in fmir separate expeditions, de '
feating the most dangerous of the 1
neighboring tribes, but while carrying
on this terrific guerrilla warfare he in- j
troduced many reforms in Timbuetoo it : !
self which ultimately transformed a
ruined and desolate town into one'
which could look forward into a period j
of security and prosperity.
"Luck was on my side," Joffre said!
modestJy, when he was afterwards con-1
gratulated on his brilliant achievement
and promoted lieutenant colonel for his
valuable work. "I might," he said, j
"have met with the fat* of Bonnier'
and'Boiteux had the Goddess of Good'
Fortune not attended me." refusing to
acknowledge that it was really his cau- j
tion, foresight, military genius and in
defatigableness which enabled him to j
'bring his column through so success-1
fully.
At the same time a little incident oc- j
curred on this expedition which might j
have brought about quite a different re-1
suit. While still some distance from
Timbuetoo Joffre's left eye was attack
ed : by a poisonous insect. The doctor |
feared that the commander might lose
his eyesight, and advised a bandage.
But the patient refuged, saying, "1 j
could not command my troops "if I were;
blindfolded." "Then you must wear j
tlue spectatcles," said the doctor. But'
the desert is not the place to find blue i
spectacle*, and General Joffre's eye tie-1
came worse. The doctor foretold blind-1
ness. but Joffre merely smiled. His luck
would hold good, he said. Sure enough j
one day the mail brought a package
to a soldier who had been sent
to the rear, from General Loyre, the
man s uncle. General Loyre Jheing a
personal friend of Joffre, the latter took
upon himself to open tie package, and
the first thing he found was a pair of
blue spectacles.
"You see, I was right in having i
faith in my luck," Joffre is reported as 1
having explained, and in this way his!
sight was saved, although his eye has !
ever since been clouded over with a
thin veil.—Strand Magazine.

What Russian Soldiers Think of "0«r

Captain Granville Fortescue, writing a
report of the great war on the eastern
frontier of Germany, gives the follow

dier is one of the most patient of crea
tures. He has all the qualities of a
willing horse. He follows his officers
blindly. Judged by American stand
ards. he lacks initiative; but in the war
of the trenches initiative plays little
part. You can put a company of Rus

will stay there until they are all killed,
captured or frozea. When it so hap

"I don't believe that they know,
much of what the war it> all about, but|
they have a distinct dislike for the Ger-I
nu.ns. It is said that they never did {
understand why they were fighting the I
Japanese, who were a people practically!
unknown to them. But the 'German
skis,' they have been told, want to take
a bip slice of Holy Mother Russia. No
sacrifice is too great to prevent this.
Judging from the great masses of
troops I have seen, and these include
regiments form the Emperor's Guard
division and the Siberian Fusileers, I
believe Russia to have the finest raw
material for her armies of any natioa
of the worlcl."
