TELLS WOMEN HOW TO
HAVE CHARMING HAIR

Rough, coarse hair is unnecessary
so is faded, dull looking hair.
Dandruff and scalp itch are both
caused by an accumulation of scurfy
filth and can easily be gotten rid Of.
Dandruff germs cause falling hair
and diseases of the hair and scalp, and
should be destroyed.
II you have any of the hair troubles
mentioned above e. J. Jenkins, the
druggist, will guarantee PARTISAN
SAGE to end every one of them or
will refund your money.
PARTISAN SAGE is delightful hair
dressing that is being used today by
many thousands of lovely Americans
who detest uncleanliness. Large bot

New York. April 25.--One of the
most important agencies for the war
fare on the white plague in the United

its new building to save thousands
more. 1t is the only institution in the
United States where the children OF
tuberculosis parents are cared for I'M

made safe for them to return to. Some
of the most distinguished physicians
in the country, including DR.. Abraham

the New York health department, will
attend today's exercises to study the
work movement having been start
ed to encourage the establishment OF
similar preventoria by the public
health boards of all the larger Ameri-
can cities.
The preventorium has in the past
been conducted during the last two
years on a 170-acre farm at Farming
dale donated by Arthur Brisbane, the

ARKANSAS BANK ROBBED
Haul of $4,000 Was Made and No
Blood Was Spilled In Two
Hour Fight.
IBy Associated Press.]

Fort Smith, Ark, April 25.-The
bank at Midland, thirty miles south
of this place, was robbed by a party
of four or more men who set off three
explosions, completely wrecking the
vault and safe and escaping with loot
said to amount to $4,000.
z The telephone exchange was over
the bank and the robbers first cut all
wires.
Citizens aroused, by the explosion
were driven back by four lookouts
posted to command every approach to
the bank.
An armed posse soon returned to
the scene and engaged in two hours
fight with the robbers without injury

FOOLISH TO RUN HOUSEHOLD WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT BOOK

To Illustrate one value OF such records:
You go to a physician for treatment, and
he would give much to know your phys
ical history and a record OF the diseases
you have had and the treatment received
in the past. We will arrive at the day
when we will take personal record I"
along to assist the doctor in diagnosis
and treatment.
1t is the financial records, however,
that are usually in mind when house
hold accounts are spoken of; that is.
formal schedules of the current ex-
penses for conducting the household.
We have all had experience with rec
ords of personal expense, jotting down
in soTke convenient book entries of
expenses as they occur day by day,
and then totaling up expenses at the
end of the week to see II the money
left balances"
How have we all in our time strug-
gled to balance our minds long enough
to balance the account?-to remem-
Der how that fugitive cents or 10
cents, or penny, even. was spent which
we forgot to set down and which now
sets us at naught. But what sense
or sanity is there in such a procedure2
What does it matter whether a dead
record of dead transactions is COM
pIete and accurate or whether the rec
ords and the memory of them are
consigned to the dust-hole?
Such accounts are not really ac-
counts, and If you are wasting time
on one, stop 4; or, better, transform
it into a kind of record which con-
trolls expenditures and increases the
power OF the dollar. 1t is this house

pose that alone Is worth considering.
Household accounting has the purpose
Of introducing plan and intelligence into

upon a plan for the expenditures of the
ensuing period of time. whether week,
month, or year; scaling proposed expendi-
lures according to the relative Importance
of different purposes; recording expenses
as they occur, a classified record which
will show whether the goal set is being
achieved; and finally furnishing CLASH
fled summaries of expenditure at the
end OF time periods. to give basis
for intelligent criticism of past expendi-
