Ridiculous Questions.

Ridiculous questions are proposed for

to find where his brother was who had

supposed to be roaming about the Pa
cif1c ocean. When told that it would
be impossible to give any information
on such a subject the anxious inquirer
was very much surprised that this in
formation was not available to him.
Mothers. wives, sisters, fathers and
other relatives visit the consular bu-
reau in an effort to find out where their
relatives at the front are. OF course,
those in active service are not allowed
to let their position be known and any
attempt to do SO would be caught by
the censors This does not seem to be
entirely understood by the American
relatives of soldiers in the armies
abroad, and hence frantic efforts are
made to locate them when nothing is
heard for long time.
Taking it all in all, this government
has a tremendous burden to bear in
this war; Notwithstanding the fact that
the United States is the greatest of the
neutral countries and historically op
posed to alliances of any kind.

BAGGAGE RULES BOTHER
INTERSTATE TRAVELLERS
Must Declare Value, Pay for Excess
Above $1O0 and Be Early
at Depot.
General Agent at Union Station
Tells of Regulations-Express
Drivers VIII Help.

Already travellers having baggage
checked for interstate transportation
are experiencing annoyance and delay
on account of the new system of de-
clared valuation made necessary by
state commerce commission act. The
general baggage agent at the Union
station says he expects that when peo-
pie have become used to the new pro-
cedure and the working force has
been increased. as will be necessary,
the public will suffer little incon-
venience.
His principal advice to the travelling
selves more time at Union station to
attend to the proper checking of their
baggage before train time.
This new regulation has been in
force since Wednesday. and has
caught many students from Washing
ton institutions who are returning to
their homes at this time. PASSENGERS
are compelled to sign declaration of
the value of their baggage and pay 10
cents for each 500 of value in excess
OF the first 500 worth. II this is not
done. the baggage will not be shipped
The baggage agent says that to han
die this extra work the force at the
checking desk and the bookkeeping
department Will have to be increased
and that this will be done lust as
soon as 1t can be determined how
many will be necessary
Rules Differ.
Travellers, as heretofore, may tele-
phone to the transfer company to call
for their baggage and have 1t check
ed from the home. The driver of the
transfer wagon puts a stop card on
the baggage and gets the signature Of
the traveller to the valuation declara-
tion. If there Is excess valuation the
baggage fs shipped with c. o. D, card.
and collection Is made at the destina-
ton. This regulation, however, has
been worked out only for northbound
baggage.
southbound baggage may be shipped
as heretofore II the valuation Is 800
or under. with the signature Of the
shipper taken at the home; but II the
traveller must have his baggage car
ried to Union station under a claim
check. must pay and get a receipt for
the excess valuation and have the bag
gage rechecked.
There Is one railroad, however, that
has not put into effect this new sys-
tem-the Chesapeake and Ohio This
railroad does not require the traveller
to sign the valuation declaration It
is holding the matter in allegiance until
thorough investigation has been
made and the best method for meeting
the convenience Of the traveller has
been devised Meanwhile It Is shipping
baggage as heretofore.

Combfhg Won't Ria
Hair Of Dandruff

The only sure way tot get rid
of dandruff is to dissolve II, then
you destroy II entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of or
binary liquid arvon; apply It at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t
in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morn
ing most. II not all, of your dand-
ruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of 1t, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all Itch
Ing and digging OF the scalp will
stop at once, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hun
dred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. 1t Is inexpensive
and never fails to do the work.

WHEN you WASH YOUR &c
HAIR DON'T USE SOAP

Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much al
kali. which is very Injurious, as
II dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil,
for this is pure and entirely
greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats soaps or anything else
all to pieces. You can get this
at any drug store, and a few
ounces will last the whole fam
lily for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub 1t in, about
teaspoonful is all that Is re-
CURED. 1t makes an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather,
cleanses thoroughly, and rinses
out easily. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and is soft,
