gowns she bought bushel or two

"Our greatest trouble is with the
boy between IA and 16. The law
says he may work when necessary,
but when he is not working he must
be in school. He works a few months
and loses his job and then comes to
school again and thus he spends a
part of his time in school and a
part out of it. An adequate mothers
pension would permit the mother to
get along without the boys slender
earnings and he could be kept in
school until he was 16.

London, April GA new scheme for the
administration of all pensions, grants

Government committee which has been

The central administration of the PEN

Committee At least two members of
the committee must be women, while two
must be representatives of labor.
FIFTEEN members Of the committee will
be selected by the Government, the
others will be nominated by various
charitable and relief fund organizations
whose funds and operations will be more
or less under the supervision of the new
body.
One Of the duties of the Statutory
Committees to decide questions of fact
with regard to pensions for dependents
other than wives and children (whose
compensation is fixed by law and to de-
eide the scale of such payments. 1t is to
be advised by local committees, which
will be created in every county, borough
and township.
The committee is to have a chairman
who is a paid official. Apparently all the
other members will serve without re-

A W0MAK'S HAIR AND

Somebody hs aid that q woman's
teeth are milestva1es indicating her age.
but a far more important feature indi-
cative of years is the hair. Many
woman has kept her youthful appear
ance long past middle life because OF
proper care of the hair. and in this care
the first considerations are absolute
cleanliness and choice Of the right
shampoo. 1t is not advisable to use a
cleanser made for all purposes. but
rather always use a preparation made
for shampooing only. You can enjoy the
best that is known for about three cents
a shampoo by getting a package OF
Canthrox from your druggist. Dissolve
teaspoonful in cup of hot water and
your shampoo is ready. After its use the
hair dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your hair
will be SO fluffy that it will look much
heavier than it is. Its luster and softness
will also delight you. while the stimulat-
ed scalp gains the health which insures
hair growth.-Adv.

the ship building works, he said:
Our main concern up here and on
the Clyde Is the Fleet. These yards
are building ships of new types, and
great issues depend on their arriving
at their stations.
ITO get these ships ready there are
wanted many more men. especially
iron workers. In order to beat the
enemy we shall have to pool the whole
Of our resources of skilled labor and
put them on government work. This
will mean a very considerable dis
placement of labor, but I feel conf
dent, by the readiness with which the
representatives of the employers and
men have come together, that the eff
forts will be successful.
MANY firms have already most
willingly met my request to divert
men from their works to other firms
engaged on government work, and the
representatives Of the boiler makers
and other trades have also given me
assistance. But the transference must
be done on a larger and larger scale.
Transfer Of men naturally involved
financial loss through inability of
firms to carry on contracts. but the
government will arrange suitable COM
pensation in these cases."

Thin Folks Who
Would Be Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
A Physician's Advice.

I'd certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and
stay that way" declares every excess
sively thin man or woman. Such a.
result is not impossible, depsite past
failures. Thin people are victims Of
mal-nutrition, a condition which pre-
vents the fatty elements Of food from
being taken up by the blood as they
are when the powers Of nutrition are
normal. Instead Of getting into the
blood, all the fat and flesh producing
elements stay in the intestines until
they pass from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to
produce a healthy normal amount Of
fat, the nutritive processes must be
articially supplied with the power
which nature has denied them. This
can best be accomplished by eating a
Sargol tablet with every meal. Sargol
is a scientific combination of six Of
the best strength giving. at-produc-
ing elements known to the medical
profession. Taken with meals, it
mixes with the food and turns the
sugars and starches into rich, ripe
nourishment for the tissues and blood
and it's rapid effect is remarkable.
Reported gains of from ten to twenty
five pounds in a single month are by
TO means infrequent. Yet it's action
is perfectly natural and absolutely
harmless. Sargol is sold by Bow
ditch & Webster Co. and other good
druggists everywhere and every pack
age contains a guarantee Of weight
increase or money back.
Caution:-While Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in the treat
ment Of nervous indigestion and gen.
eral stomach isorders, it should not,
owing to its remarkable flesh produce
ing effect, be used by those who are
not willing to increase their weight
ten pounds or more.-Adv.
