Details of one of the most daring

been briefly mentioned in the official
communiques.
A large French aeroplane sound

equipped with a double motor and
two machine guns.
A violent combat ensued between
the two squadrons In tho course of
which the German battle plane's nia
c'olne guns riddled ono of the French
machines with bullets. One bullet
pierced the gasoline tank and within
few seconds the French machine
was a mnsa of flames.
The French pilot, realizing that
ho was doomed to certain death
headed straight for the German bat

WHY DANDRUFF
CAUSES BALDNESS.
Get rid of dandruff if you have If
and the sooner the better. Dandruff
causes baldness by choking the pores
of the scalp so that the hair roots do
not obtain proper nourishment.
There is Just one delightful hair
tonic bo compounded that besides
ending itching scalp almost overnight
and stopping hair from falling, will
remove every particlo of dandruff af
ter Just a few applications.
Ask your druggist for a bottln of
Parisian Sage, a hair beautlfler, ton
ic and scalp invlgorator that every
druggists knows always produces re
sults, thousands or women use It
because they know that nothing else
makes the hair so radiantly beauti
ful ana ra&cinating. English Drug
Co. always guarantees Parisian Sago.
