To Have Beautiful Hair,
Nourish the Scalp
Dandruff must be removed and the
hair roots nourished to stop falling
hair and itching scalp. It is unneces
sary to have thin, brittle, matted,
wispy or faded hair. No matter how
unsightly your hair, how badly it is
falling, or how much dandruff, sim
ply rub Parisian Sage well into the
scalp and it will be all that is ever
needed. The hair roots are nourished
and stimulated to grow new hair.
Even all dandruff is removed with
one application, itching scalp and
falling hair cease; the hair becomes
soft, fluffy, seems twice as abundant,
and radiant with life and beauty.
Parisian Sage, a daintily perfumed
liquid, is one of the most pleasant,
invigorating and refreshing hair
tonics known, yet perfectly harmless
and inexpensive. After the first ap
plication you will be surprised and
delighted with Parisian Sage, for
there is nothing that will so help to
double your present attractiveness as
luxuriant, glorious hair, and this
tonic treatment is all that can .pos
sibly he desired.
Be sure to get the real Parisian
Sage from H. C. Kennedy, or at any
drag counter, as there is* no other so
effective. —Adv.

WOULD MAKE OUR BANKS
INDEPENDENT OF EUROPE
Warburg Says War Has Taught the
Nation's Not Involved That They
Must Rely More On Their Own Re
sources
By Associated Press.
Washington, May 25.—Need f° r
greater reliance on their own resources
is one lesson which the European war
has brought home to the nstious not
involved, in the opinion of Paul M.
Warburg, member of the Federal Re
servo Board, who spoke to-day at the
Pan-American Financial Conference.
Mr. Warburg pointed out that when
the war began England, then acting as
ibanker for the world, felt forced to
ask for some of tho vast sums due her
and that this request was reflected in
varying degrees in countries that were
in her debt. He spoke of the acute sit
uation which resulted in the United
States and elsewhere on this hemi
sphere, and added:
"The lesson which all American na
tions will have to learn from last
y<»nr's experience, is that it is unwise
for the world to place its tiuancial de
pendence upon auy single nation; and
that those who can afford to do so,
as for instance the United States,
should from this time on adopt a policy
of greater reliance upon their own re
sources. Those countries which cannot
rely exclusively upon their own re
sources, should adopt a policy of di
viding their risks of financial depend
ence as evenly and as widely as they
possibly can.
"Europe has done much In develop
ing both tho northern and southern
parts of this hemisphere. European
oanks and bankers have been our
staunch and loval friends in tho past.
It would be unbecoming in us and dis
loyal at the samo time were we to for
get this or to attempt to profit from
their misfortune. But our own 'growth
and development and the unhappy fato
that has overcome Europe have com
bined to bring about a momentous
turning point in our economic history.
In the future the new world must lean
less heavily on the old.
"Though in normal times closely
connected with Europe, the American
continents ought to be so organized as
to form a distinct unit in times of
emergency—A union whose transpor
tation and credit system will remain
unbroken even 'though all Europe
should go to war."
Governor Hamlin, of the 'Federal He
serve Board, told the delegates that the
United States never before was in the
position it occupies to-day to extend
its trade by .ranting credit to thost.
nations which wish to be its customers.
Mr. Hamlin said he would leave to
others a detailed explanation of how
the financial resources of the United
States have been strengthened bv the
Federal Reserve act. but he ventured
the prediction that the banking system
of the nation through that act will
become "one of the strongest systems
in the world."
He referred also to the establishment
of branch banks.
"Branches of natioual banks have
already been authorized in Argentina,
Brazil and Panama and other coun
tries." said he, "and it is confidently
expected that a great development in
our trade relations with such countries
will result."
Secretary McAdoo announced that
the committeee on uniformity of laws
would consider the creation of an in
ternational commercial court to settle
matters arising out of trade disputes.
He also announced the personnel of the
committee which will take up the ques
tion of improved transportation facili
ties to South America.
The conference by a rising vote ap
proved sending the following cable
gram to the President of Argentina:
"The Pan-American Financial Con
ference, assembled in Washington, join
with you in celebrating this glorious
anniversary of Argentine independ
ence. We extend to the government
and to the people of the republic of
Argentina our warmest congratula
tions and our siucerest wishes for the
happiness and prosperity of the Argen
tine nation."

Oases From Philadelphia
The Supreme Court for the Middle
district mot this morning for what will
practically be the last day of its sitting
in Harrisburg. All of tho cases, it
was thought, would be disposed of by
late this afternoon, at which time it was
expected a number of opinions in cases
argued in Philadelphia would be handed
down.
The appeal of the Alden Coal Com
pany front the decision of the Dau
phin county court which declared the
coal tax law of 1913 Constitutional has
been continued - until the Pittsburgh
sitting, Attorney General Brown dis
senting and desiring to make an argu
ment as soon as possible in order to
have the matter settled soon.
The case of Rider against the York
Haven Water & Power Company, an
action for damages against the com
pany. was the last regular case 011 the
list from this district. Reynolds D.
Brown appeared for Rider, who claims
damages from tho company for divert
ing water that he insists belongs to
him. Fox & Gever, of this city, rep
resented the company.
The court may ask for an argument
in the case of an application for man
damus against Judge Heck, of Potter
county, who denies the constitutional
ity of the law taking Clinton county
from one judicial district and affixing
it to his district of Potter county. At
torney General Brown was ready for
the argument for tho State, and J. E.
B. Cunningham represented Judge
Heck.
HUSSIA EAGER TO (JIVE ITS

i New York, May 25.——Scott R.
Hayes, son of former President Ruth
erford B. Hayes, who arrived here
from Copenhagen on the steamship
United States, which docked to-day,
had with him as part of his
a sealed canvas pouch bearing the
stamp of the Russian government and
addressed to the Russian ambassador
in Washington.
It had been reported that Mr. Hayes
was the bearer of confidential govern
ment dispatches from Petrograd to
Washington. A dispatch from Copen
hagen which told of his departure,
May 13, for New York so stated, but
Mr. Hayes asserted to-day that this
was erroneous. He said he did not know
what the sealed bag Contained.
Mr. Hayes said ho has been in Den
mark and Russia for the last two
months on a business trip. Merchants
and manufacturers of Russia, he said,
are in a most receptive mood with re
spect to the United States taking over
trade relations that Germany held with
Russia previous to tho war.
Leon E. Brokman, a representative
of the Russian "Sun" and the " Ko
peika," published in Petrograd, was
also a passenger. Mr. Brokman said
that he tame here to determine the
feeling in America with regard to
trade relations with Russia after the
war. He corroborated' Mr. Hayes in
saying that Russia is anxious to trans
fer to this country business formerly
conducted with Germany,
COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR
If you want to keep your hair in
pood condition, the less soap you use !
the better.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos- !
contain too much alkali. This dries |
the senlp, niakes'the hair brittle, and !
is very harmful. Just common I
mulsitied coeoanut oil (which is !
pure and entirely greaseless), is |
much better than soap or anything :
else you can use for shampooing, j
as this can't possibly injure the hair, j
Simply moisten your hair with j
water and rub it in. One or two j
teaspoonfuls will make an abundance j
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses j
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The (
! lather rinses out easily, and removes 1
j every particle of dust, dirt, don- !
! druff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it
| leaves it fine and silky, bright,
I lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. I
You can get mulsified coeoanut oil j
(it must be mulsified, plain cocoa- I
nut oil will not do) at' most any j
drug store. It is very cheap, and a
few ounces is enough to last every- !
one in the family for months. i

THREE iCHTY GRAVES ON
THE FLOOR OF NORTH SEA
Side By Side Lie British Cmisers
Aboukir, Hogue and Cressy, Vic
tims of the Famous German Sub
marine, U-0
Deep, deep down on the jjroon floor
of thedarU ocean depths lie the A'bou
kir, the Hoigue and the Cressy, with
the Iblind sea eels nesting abo/t their
once mighty kools and schooling cod
playing in the muzzles of their rusting
guns. With the ebb and flow of the
ocec.n tides these departed giants lean
and courtesy to one another mutely,
like the silent grotesque crews all
piped to stations as they sank.
A last glimpse of these mighty men
of war, the last look bet'oro each set
tled forever beneath the rolling swell
of the North Sea, may be found in
Abbot's great masterpiece, "The Na
tions at War," where the subject of
this naval exploit by the famous Ger
man submarine U-9 has been giveu a
double page illustration as befits its
tremendous importance.
Stronger than words <ki the pictures
in this wonderful .book relate with
graphic distinctness the gripping hor
ror which stalks abroad on land and
sea throughout tlio shifting zone of
this titanic struggle. It is authorita
tively stated that after sinking two
of these mighty men o' war, the Ger
man commander, Lieut. Weddiger, .was
so appalled by th awfuluesn of the act
that he well-nigh missed sending the
third to its watery grave.
"The Nutions at War" is tho first
book of its kind to be brought out,
and is recognized as the only volume
from a high authoritative source. It
is written without fear or favor, it
offends no nationality, but its truths
are strong, virile and thrilling. The
Star-Independent secured through spe
cial arrangements a limited allotment
from the first edition of this handsome
$3 book, which it olfers to its readers
while the supply lusts at the presen
tation expense of 98 cents only to
defray book rights and handling. Tho
book contains 463 fresh actual photo
graphic illustrations, 20 full-page col
or plates of the most important events
and 364 pages crammed with truths,
facts and information about the little
understood European struggle. While
the supply lasts readers should en
deavor to secure a copy for their li
brary—it is the most instructive work
published in twenty years. ,
