HEAD LICE CURE
Although it seems a needlessly
unpleasant subject to discuss,
head lice are found here and there
among children by school nurses
and physicians. Inasmuch as it is
a disease for which many persons
often want aid, and one that many
have a great deal of hesitancy in
discussing, it may be well to give
a recipe here.
The following wash is used by
many school nurses and should
be repeated two or three nights to
be beneficial:
Mix equal parts of kerosene
and olive oil (sweet oil) and at
night rub the mixture we'll into
the scalp. Then cover the hair
with piece of muslin and fasten
about the head securely.
Caution-Do not bring the
head in contact with any kind of
flame or the gas jet.
In the morning wash the scalp
we'll with soap and hot water and
vinegar. Then use fne-toothed
comb wet with vinegar to remove
the 'nits."
Dry the hair thoroughly after
ward with a towel

THE DANGEROUS DIVES.

In every community there are men
who profess to take the liberal view
of segregated vice. They exclaim
with much gusto that a red-light dis
trict is a necessity They talk about
protecting the innocence of the wom-
en- of the community from the beasts
which stalk about in human form.
And in nine out of ten cases the
author of these liberal views is the
man who. though married. is a pa
iron of these resorts and deliberately
exposes his wife and entire family to
the plaques Of the district.
There is some question as to
whether or not red-light districts are
a protection to the virtue of women
and girls. About the second house
built in Gary was an designation
house and there have been dozens of
them there ever since the city was
was founded and yet from the date
of the death of little Ella Schroeder,
five years ago. until only a month
ago when five year old Mary Gruba
was murdered by a fend in human
form; the virtue Of women in Gary
has never been particularly safe from
attack.
And Gary has had more disgraceful
attacks on women on its records than
any other city in the region. Yet
Gary is FULLY PROTECTED BY
ITS OPEN AND NOTORIOUS RED
LIGHT DISTRICT.
But assuming that a red-llght dis
trict is a necessity let's look at the
train of evils that must be embraced
with it; that a community mus
stand for if it wants them

police force and the city officials.

8. The spread of the habit of us

WHAT DOES RUDY MEAN 2

Indianapolis Star do not agree on the
Maine republican victory. The Star
says the bull moose helped the repub-
licans to victory. Rudy Leeds says
not, however. He said last night:
The truth is the Maine Progress

minister another severe beating to
the Republican machine, which for
so many years controlled the gov
eminent of the northeastern state.
decided TO support the candidacy
OF Governor Plaisted for re-elec
tion and all through the campaign
have been fighting sturdily in the
Democratic ranks.
II Plaisted is reelected it will be
as much victory for the Progress
sives as it viii be for the Demo-
Gratis.
In other words, Rudy 1t was a re.
publican victory and a democratic
bull moose defeat.

Heart toHeart
Talks.
A MORNING PRAYER.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


Give me morning courage-the cour-
age that fronts my day of toll with zeal
and cheerfulness.
Throughout this day of task and
anxious thought let me go. each hour a
smile upon my lips and hope within
my heart. so that at eventide 1 may
look back upon day Of honest effort
worthily essayed. And, whether l shall
succeed or fail. bring me to look for
ward to another day when shall try
again.
And
Should l make a new friend today
may be worthy Of his friendship. and
the worthy friends l have may l hold
fast
Help me that l may keep the open
vision of the perfect life, that I may
pattern my imperfect life thereby. Let
me hold high and far advanced the
banner of my manhood
Let not fear have dominion over me.
And may all hatred and all envy de-
part far from me- Help me to be of
good cheer and generous and frank
and seemly.
May | live today, because there may
be no tomorrow Let me give today,
because tomorrow 1 may not have
wherewith to give. Let me love today.
for tomorrow my loved one may have
gone away.
And l pray
This day let me share whatever OF
good may come TO me with those who
make their stormy pass Of human life
along with me. And If sorrow shall
come to me may l find my fellow trav.
elers to the bar full OF sympathy and
helpfulness.
And, above all else, I pray
May be this day. and every day, an
optimist going cheerfully forward
with faith and zest. so that some sor-
rowing soul. seeing my shining face
may take hope and heart again.
And these things ! pray
That l may not forget and that
may do that which l ought TO do and
leave undone that which l ought not
to do.
And bring me to the end of this good
day and all my days without fear and
without reproach. honest and undefiled
and satisfied
This is my prayer.
Amen.

ROOSEVELT EXPEDIENCY.

Theodore Roosevelt, who would
like to be considered the Abraham
Lincoln of the progressives, is the
author of many idealistic ideas of
government. Many OF them have
merit and have pointed the way to
real progress in the development of
the representative form of govern
ment: which is still In the process of
evolution.
But Roosevelt is also a practical
politician and it is notorious that he
never permits his altruistic senti-
ments to interfere with his ideas of
the way to get results.
His amazing Acknowledgement of
the southern negro is a point in
question. There is no question that
the Mississippi negroes were the only
regularly elected delegates from the
state for, according to Associated
Press dispatches, the white delegates
were selected in convention from
