The only way to be permanently rid of disgusting, untidy dandruff is to correct its cause. Shampooing merely cleanses the scalp for a few days, then the scales form again as thick as_ever. To destroy the dandruff germ and get rid of dandruff for good, part the hair and apply a little of the genuine Parisian Sage directly on the bare scalp, and rub it in with the finger tips for a few minutes until absorbed by the scalp. You will surely be amazed at the result of even one ap- plication, for your hair and scalp will look and feel 100 per cent. better. Only a few days’ massage with Parisian Sage are needed to destroy the germs that cause the dandruff to form. The scalp becomes healthy, the hair will grow better and show more life and vitality, and you need_ never be troubled by dandruff again. Faded, dull or lifeless hair is quickly restored to beauty by this simple process, Which is absolutely harmless, and will not stain the hair or make it greasy. Parisian Sage can be obtained from Lee & Osgood Co. and druggists everywhere. It is not expensive. “TI" FINES ACHIR, SWOLLEN, SORE FET HOW “TiZ” D O E S COMFORT TIRED, BURNING, CALLOUSED FEET AND CORNS Good-bye, sore feet, burning feet, swollen feet, tender feet, tired feet.

It is not considered likely tnat many de- tails- will be added to the official re- port, as the battle was fought in a night of pitchy blackness. Naval of- ficers are surprised that an engage- ment was possible under those cir- cumstances and point out that, as the combatants carried no lights, accur- ate gunnery must have been exceed- ingly difficult. The theory that the German de- strovers were driven from Zeebrugge by ice, is not given much credence by naval officers who declare it is not even certain that the German flotilla came from that Belgian port. i The bow of the British destroyer tost in the engagement was complete- ly carried away by a German torpedo and, since it was considered Impossi ble to tow her to port, she was sunk as, if she were left afioat, she might become a menace to other units of the British_ flotila.

Maine of Ashaway is to GERMANY CAN CARRY ON WAR FOR SEVERAL YEARS Has Sufficient Available Troops— Losses Thus Far 2,000,000 Men. Berlin, Jan. 24 (By Wireless to Say- ville). Estimating the total German losses in the war at about 2,000,000, the National Zeitung of Berlin says there are available sufficient troops to carry on the war for several years. The newspaper gives available figures of casualties and continues: “The first impression obtained from these lists is that the number of dead is relativesly small in view of the fact that so many powerful offensive cam- paigns have been undertaken as well as the defensive actions, of unheard- of difficulties, such as that of the Somme. This shows that the Ger- mans are more sparing of their forces than ever before. Neverthefess, they mean enormous bleeding of the nation’s body: but it is not so great but that Germany will be able to carry on the war for sev- eral years. If the total Jusses are cal- culated at about two million, the Ger- man reserves would still number 7,- 000,000 out of the 9,000,000 with which the war was begun. On the other hand large numbers of young men have reached the age of military ser- vice during the war. According to conservative _calculations, ~Germany has had in this way an addition of 1,- 500,000 to her forces. The National Zeitung says that if the soldiers who have passed the age limit for military service have been retained with the colors the net loss as a result of the war thus far would Dbe perhaps 650,000, or at the most 1,- 009,000, and continues: ermany still has at least 8,000,000 men to use on the front or for the navy and therefore we do not over- state the case in pointing out that Germany by comparison with the for- mer date (date not given) has a much larger number of men on the, front. For a long time to come it cannot be expected that bv any pos- sibility the compulsory military ser- vice will break down provided the di ficulties of alimentation do not be- come so great that the soldiers on the front also have to suffer for them.
