 ''The percentage of re 1uction in freight on these commodities will amount Tn the neighborhood of 45 per cent and should mean a considerable saving to the con sumers of Birmingham.

HOW TO HAVE LONG
 BEAUTIFUL HAIR
By a Hair Specialist

It is not hard to stop the hair from falling out and promote it's growth if the right means are used. There is no hope for the scalp where the hair roots are dead and the scalp is shiny. However, to those who have not reached this con- dition, immediate steps should be taken to stop it before it is too late. Here is a simple recipe which you can make at home, that will stop the hair from falling out, promote it's growth and eradicate scalp eruptions and scalp humors. To half pint of water add I oz. bay rum, small box of Barbo Compound and A oz of glycerne. and apply to the hair, rubbing with the finger tips, two or three times week. These ingredients can be obtained at any drug store at very little cost and mixed at home. This recipe not only promotes the growth of the hair, but darkens streaked faded gray hair and makes it soft and glossy.

MUSHROOMS ARE BEING
USED IN PLACE OF MEAT
(By Associated Press)


Hamburg, July 1-As an auxiliary
food supply, of which little advan-
tage is taken, musrooms are being
urged upon German epicures, and es-
pecially upan Catholics as substi-
tuted for meat on fast days.
DR.. Won Langemann, Dresden
physician, estimates that there are
over 200 kinds of mushrooms in
Germany. At least one quarter of
these are not only edible but
nourishing and tasty. while only
seven can be classed as poisonous
tOadstools.
The annual crop, if it all were
harvested, would run into the mil
lions of maks in value, he believes,
and would supply hundreds of tons
of food. Already the inhabitants Of
villages in the vicinity of forests
have learned to supply themselves
with valuable food that costs moth
ing but the gathering.
