Him TO BE Candidate In August

Want Late Candidate For MAYOR to
Run Either For Administrative
Board or the STATE Senate-yigor-
Gus Law Enforcement Campaign.

Prominent citizens of the West End
and Of the East End are comforting
toeether for the purpose of uniting
IN support of Jacob ltmlauf either
for the Administrative Board or for
the state Senate. The primaries will
be held in August
Mr.. umlauf has not yet indicated
that he will be candidate for either
position, but many who are his friends
and some others Who believe that a
man of his caliber should be in po-
sition of public trust are discussing
the matter. They are making in
quiries among those who are likely
10 support for office man who would
represent the element in favor of
strict enforcement OF laws and in
favor Of laws tending to the moral
and social bettcrment OF the city ana
State.

The response has been encouraging
and in time, It Is understood. a meet
ing will be held Of citizens of the two
ends OF the city. when plans will be
formulated. IL Mr Umlauf consents

held later and his boom launched.
Mr. Umlauf is we'll known to the
people Of Richmond He was faith
ful ana nara working member OF the
Council for SOME years and last spring
was a candidate for Mayor against
George Ainslie, receiving a flatering
vote. His campaign for Mayor was
made on q platform demanding the
clnsinr OF the red light district and
Il IS conceded that much OF Mayor
Ainslie's strength was due TO the fact
that he had appointed committee
to investigate vice conditions in Rich
mond and intended to abide by It's rec
concentrations.
Credit to Umlauf
This he has done so far as closing
the district Is concerned and for that
action Mr. Umiauf has received much
OF the credit.
What will be the result of the asita-
tion on the part OF number of people
to induce Mr.. Umlauf arain 10 be-
come a candidate for office Is yet

PREyENTAeLE FIRES.

State fire rnarshals, the federal
authorities and fire prevention experts
generally have estimated the proper
ton OF fires due to preyentable causes
at between 25 and 80 percent OF the

holds that practically 50 percent o.
the fires are preventable By the eIer-

The first and most successful In
dian school conducted by the United
States government within the bounds
of the present state of Iowa was the
school among the Winnebago Indians
in northeastern Iowa. Mr.. Jacob Van
der Zee, in publication of the State
Historical society of Iowa, makes the
following statement concerning the
work OF this school for the years 1912
and 1913: "John l.. Seymour acted as
principal from 1912 to 1S43. He recon-
mended that knitting and spinning be
added to the subjects taught to the
girls and that press and printer be
furnished the school. One hundred
and seventy children in every stage
OF advancement attended the school in
constantly varying numbers, depend
ing upon the season of the year. Some
fifteen pupils walked ten miles daily
to the agency. The school was taught
two hundred and thirty-six days, exclu-
sive of Sundays. when the children as
sembled for religious instruction The
girls furnished nearly seven hundred
articles of clothing. such as boys
coats. trousers, shirts, dresses, short
gowns, skirts, aprons, towels. bags.
and pillow cases"

AFTER THE WAR.

Edward F McSweeney, of Boston,
/ chairman of the directors of the port.
presented a report at the convention
of port authorities which has jus.
been in session at Los Angeles. in
which he deals with some features ef
our export business which have hithe--
to escaped attention. He regards org
present export trade as proceeding
under an artificial stimulation; and
points out that of the present billion
dollar trade balance in our favor over
500. COG. 900 are exports solely for
war munitions ammunition horses.

etc trade which viii cease the in
slant the war comes TO close. This
leaves a balance OF only s30o,o00,0 ce
of exports of what might be termed
regular merchandise" an export
smaller than that of any year since
1909. and almost 500, 100000 less
than I'm the year before the war
"Comparing the present year OF ex-
ports from the United States with that
Of the year before the war, we ind
we have exported only % per cent as
much agricultural implements. 50 per

most lamentable fact in connection
with these figures is that we are los

report.

THE LOVE OF HEALTH.

II any one doubts that this is an era
OF health propaganda he must, indeed.
be obliyious of what is going on about
him. Municipal, state and national
agencies are using forces and funds
at their disposal to further, the inter
ests OF public hygiene. Educational
Influences are directing their energies
to the spread OF the lessons OF procur-
able health in public print and in doc
uments Of both official and unofficial
character. Novels and short stories

proclaiming the gossip OF health far
and wide. The medical profession.

interested than any other group IN the
promotion and outcome OF the modern
hygienic movement, may well stop
from time to time 20 inquire about the
sanity OF the methods OF the proDa-
ganda. The religious doctrine Of past
ages involved the threat OF harm; IL
inculcated a fear Of the destruction Or
danger that was sure 10 follow the vfo-
lation Of the law. This dismal attf-
tude has long since been replaced BY
religion Of love, Of upiiff and Joyous
anticipation. In the health propa-
ganda. likewise. much OF the psssi-
mistfc attitude. unconscfous]y per-
ha3s, has been introduced in the past.

menting on these figures the Texas

Try This IF You
Have Dandruff

There Is one sure way that never fails
to remove dandruf completely and that
is to dissolve it. This destroys it en-
tirelv. To do this, just get about four
ounces of plain. ordinary liquid arvon !;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to noisten the scalp and rub it
in gently with Il. finger tips.
By morning, most If not all, of your
dandruh will be gone, and three or four
more applications viii completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how mucf,
dandruf you may have.
You will find, too, that ali itching and
digging of the scalp will stop instantly,
and your hair will be fluffy, 1ustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel
q hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store It is inexpensive, and four
ounces is al you will need. This simple
remedy has never been known to fail
