completed in many cities over the

but that this scheme will facilitate

Merchants and Bankers Will Meet TO Devise Plan
Little Rock, Ark, Sept, 19-The
State Legislature h as made
no provisions to prevent the sacrifice

issued a proclamation setting Sept.

chants and farmers in Little Rock to
take up and devise means to prevent
the sacrifice Of the crop.
Geo. w, Hays,
Governor of Ark.
Think twice after reading this
letter, and perhaps the reason why
the legislature has made no pro-
vision to preventive sacrifice of this
years cotton crop will suggest itself.

BLOOD POISON IS RARE
Among Soldiers Wounded by Modern
Military Weapons.

London. Sept 2s.-The rapidity with
which the wounds Of soldiers are heal
ed. and the practical absence of blood
poisoning cases. has been a surprise in
view Of the deadly effectiveness of
the modern army weapons.
The antiseptic treatment Of wounds
Almost Immediately after their inflic-
ton has great deal to do with the
fact that cures are effected in such a
short time as has been demonstrated
in the London hospitals" said one of
the physicians in attendance upon the
wounded British soldiers,
while surgery has made wonderful
strides in the last decade, the results
might have been different were it not
that the antiseptic preventive meas
ureS have been applied with the
utmost efficiency.
Another very important reason lies
In the fact that the bullet fired from a
modern rifle travels with such velocity
as to obviate the danger of a ragged
wound, and unless a vital organ lies in
the path of it, the recovery presents no
Over-difficult problem, =

London. Sept. 2s.-Thirty Mormon

peared in the offices Of the American
relief committee today, having arrived
in London after much trouble from the
various war zones. Most of them
came from Germany and Austria, but
q few are from Belgium and France.
Those who had been in Germany
and Austria had been arrested as Eng
lish spies and they experienced some
difficulty in proving their nationality
Two hundred Mormon missionaries,
headed by Elder Hiram w. Valentine,
will remain in Europe and make their
headquarters at Basel, Switzerland.
from which point they will carry on
their work as far as possible. The
American relief committee has ad-
vanced the stranded missionaries
enough money to pay their way to
Liverpool, where President Smith of
the Mormon church has left a fund
from which their expenses home will
be met.

LADIES' HAIRDRESSlNC IN
LONDON AND PARIS
By Constance

When 1 was in Europe this year I
found both cities SO thickly dotted
with hairdressing parlors and hair
goods stores that I wondered If the
women ever had time for anything but
care of the hair. Personally I was
chiefly interested in finding really
good shampoo and I found that they
never use makeshifts but always some
item made for shampooing only. and I
was happily surprised when several
inquiries each brought the suggestion
that our own American made canthrox
shampoo IS best. They like it because
in addition to being perfectly safe and
making the hair free from all dam
druff. excess oil and dust, it il 30 SIM
pie to get canthrox from any druggist
and inst dissolve q teaspoonful in a
cup Of hot water. knowing you will
then have a preparation that makes
the hair not only entirely clean but 20
fluffy that it appears very heavy Can
thrOx stimulates the scalp to healthy
action, making the head feel good and
the hair look good--A{v.

Tour times as great as the total ca
