Within ten minutes after an appli

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.
A little Danderine immediately dou
bles the beauty of your hair. No dif

scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz
ing-your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an incomparable luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft

WHEN KIDNEYS ACT BAD
TAKE GLASS OF SALTS
Sat Less Meat if Kidneys Hurt or You
Have Backaohe or Bladder Misery
-Meat Forms Uric Acid.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney pores
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from
the blood, then you get sick. Nearly
all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou
ble, nervousness, constipation, dizzi
ness, sleeplessness, bladder disorders
come from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding,; get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This fa
mous salts Is made from the acid of
grapes sad lemon jouice, combined with
lithia and has been used for genera
tions to lush clogged kidneys and
stimulate hom to activity, also to neu
tralise the acids in urine so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot

IMMIGRATION CILL FAILED
TO PASSAGE OVER VETO
Two-Thirds Majority Not Secured in
House-Four Texans Voted Against
Overriding President's Veto.
Washington.-An attempt to pass
the immigration bill prescribing a lite
racy test for the admission of aliens
over President W\ilson's veto failed in
the house Thursday, the affirmative
vote lacking five of the necessary two
thirds. Of ::9,9 members present, 261
voted to override the veto, 136 voted
to sustain the president and 2 answer
*ed "present."
Representatives Buchanan, Burgess,
Hardy and Garner were the only mem
bers of the Texas delegation who
voted against overriding the veto.
The final test came at the close of
a day of earnest debate in which par
ty lines were temporarily obliterated.
Majority Leader Underwood made a
vigorous speech criticising the presi
dent's reasons for vetoing the bill and
urging the house, to override executive
disapproval. Mr. Underwood told the
house that the country had in several
elections returned majorities in con
gress favoring the restriction of immi
gration and that the president's con
tention that no political platform had
placed the issue before the people was
futile.
"The question is," he said, "whether
you stand for the American standard
of living and the American standard
of wages."
Representative Moore of Pennsyl
vania, republican, urged the house to
support the president and defeat the
bill. He declared that immigration
had not brought bad effects on wages
and working conditions in this coun
try and asserted that the restrictions
imposed in the bill were contrary to
the fundamental principles "upon
which the forefathers based this re
public." -
Representative Burnett of Alabama,
chairman of the house immigration
committee and author of the bill, said
that the fight will be made again In
the next congress.
The 261 votes for passing the bill
over the veto were cast as follows:
Democrats, 166; republicans, 78; pro
gressives and progressive republicans,
16; independent, 1.
Against the oi'l, the vote was: Dem
ocrats, 101; "insurgent" democrat, 1;
republicans, 32; progressives and pro
gressive republicans, 2.

DIPLOMATIC AFFAIRS IN
MEXICO AT SERiOUS STAGE
Representatives of Foreign Govern
ments Contemplate Leaving the
Troubled Republic Entirely.
Washinltont.--So se.rious has ti:l
friction become between the Cal'n''rza;
govertnment and in:ebters of tl dii,
nuatic corps inl thi ('ity of `le ,ssc ti.
the uithdiraval of many foreign It
gations is now threiate-ned.

communication is growing more ai;t,
more restricted anti little respiec i:
given them by the Carranza authori
ties, it might be advisable to unit:
with other governments in a mov,
ment to abandon all foreign legation
in Mexico.
State department officials have de
clined to discuss this phase of the sit
nation. As the American embassy hza.
been closed since the rupture with
the Huerta government, the action on
the part of the other diplomatic mis
sions is being considered tithout con
suiting the United States so far as is
known.
The plan of the diplomatic corps in
the City of Mexico, which is under
stood to be acting as a unit, is to leave
affairs in Mexico in charge of con
sular officers. This would mean prac
tically a severance of diplomatic rela
tions by -all countries ana present a
unique status for Mexico in the fam
ily of nations.
The situation in the Mexican capital
has been replete with diplomatic em
barrassments since the rapid changes
in executive authority ensued. When
General Carranza in his capacity as
"first chief" of the constitutionalist
army first abandoned the City of Mex
ico and moved his capital to Vera Cruz
he invited the diplomatic corps to ac
company him. The diplomats formally
declined on the ground that such a
step might be construed as a recogn;
tion of his government. Since then
the relations between Carranza and
the foreign diplomats in the City of
Mexico have not been cordial.
It has become known that some dip
lomats at the City of Mexico had sug
gested that they go to Vera Cruz, not
as an act tending to imply recognition
of Carranza, but because of unsettled
conditions and scarcity of food in the
capital.
Leprosy Shocks "High Set"

tribution of food, money and clothing
to German and Austria prisoners in

Russian military authorities, declining
to give foreign relief expeditions that
privilege.
