(By AMAciated Pros.) Copenhagen. Oct. 21. A strongly censored report of the discussion of food conditions by the budget com mittee of the Prussian Diet, shows that except for the potato crop, which promises to be satisfactory, the food situation is by no means as rosy as the government has been trying to paint it The grain situation is such that only hope, not certainty, couia De expressed that the bread supply will last the entire year, and in any case the quality of the bread, for which flour is now milled to 94 per cent of the grain, must be decreased. Con ditions have not permitted improve- ment of the flour by less exhaustive milling. m . ... Bread and potatoes will be the bulk of the ration, as the meat allowance will almost certajnly be reduced. Milk and butter will-" be available even in scantier amounts than now, when in- ants milk allowance has bad to be re duced. . . Advices from Budapest say that the prospects for the passage of the cab inet's franchise reform bill are slight owing to the adverse attitude of Count Andrassy, who has sent a memorial to the king and against the measure. bound un in that of the measure, is thereby placed in a critical position.

If the activities of each bond sol dier result ot the sale ot two $)u bonds every day of the six remaining days of the campaign, the subscrip tions can be run above $4,000,000,000, or $1,000,000,000 higher than the mi- ntmum named at the outset of the sale, and $1,000,000,000 lower than the maximum quota desired. Officials were counting on great re sults from the appeal to workingmen made by President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor. "The world is engaged in a life and eath struggle to determine whether imperialism and autocracy or treeaom and democracy shall prevail," said Mr. Gompers.

Others are being prepared to go over there, offering the supreme sacrifice, necessary, in defense of the great principles for which the democracies of the world are fighting. It behooves every man and every woman to turn ish the means by which all the needs of our fighting forces shall be sup plied and, the only way that these needs can be met is bv money. The government of the United States has issued a new Liberty loan bond. It is by all means the safest investment which can be made. The wealth and the honor of the govern ment of the people ot the United States are behind it. In addition, there Is 4 per cent interest on the invest ment To bu;- a bond is not sacri ficing or giving anything to the gov ernment It is simply loaning the money. "I appeal to all. my countrymen, particularly to the men of labor of America; to do all. in their power to buy a Liberty bond, and suggest that the purchase of the bond be made on Wednesday, October 24."

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINTS It is not necessary to shampoo your hair bo frequently if it Is entirely and properly cleansed each time by the use of a really good shampoo. The easiest to use and quickest drying shampoo that, we can recommend to our readers is one that brings out all the natural beauty of -the hair and may be enjoyed at very little expense, by dissolving a teaspoonful of can- throx, which can be obtained irom any druggist, in a cup of hot water, This makes a full euo of liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair .instead of just iae ton of the head, 'x his when rubbed into the saip and onto every strana of hair, chemically dissolves all im purities. It is very soothing and cool ing in its action, as well aa beneficial to both scalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you wui find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while the hair dries Quickly and evenly, developing bright luster and a soft fluff iness that makes ft seem very heavy.
