Do YOU USE CUSS WORDS

A young lady was speaking of the
wickedness and profanity among
our boys the other day and in her
talk the word gee. 1t never occurr-
ed to- her that this was taking the
name of the Lord in vain, and the
chances are that hardly any of the
people who indulge in this sugar
coated profanity have any idea that
they are swearing.
But gee is nothing more than a
mild term for Jesus started by
someone who was wicked enough
but not brave enough to say it.
Dear me- comes from the Latin,
'Deo Meo' (My God); For goodness
sake is only For Gods sake; and
'Drat It. is God rot it.; Judas
Priest and Jimmy Christmas are
"Jesus Christ; 'Golly', gosh gar.
ry' etc. are only corruptions OF

HEALTH DAY
CLEAN UP DAY

We have often set aside Arbor
Day as clean up day for the rural
schools, but this year we are asking
each school district to decide ON
its own clean up day. We need
some fresh paint and paper in some
places, some need curtains, some
seats better adapted to the size
of the children, and now comes THAT
old, old question of outbuildings.
In a large per cent Of the schools,
these are in fair condition. Some
times we find new buildings disfig-
mred with writing that is a dis
grace to the school and commune
ty, this is the fault of both teachr-
er and parents. We are proud to
say THAT is the conditions in but a
small per cent of the rural schools
of our county. tx
MOTHERS, we want you to take
special interest in cooperating with
THE teachers and pupils in this,
"Clean up Day" for let us not for
get that the lest crop in Iowa is
not CORN and HOGS but BOYS and
GIRLS.

DRAG THE ROADS,

thing to have done. The drag filled

Washing Won't Rid
Head of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid OF
dandruff is to dissolve 1t, then
you destroy 1t entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of or
binary liquid arvon; apply 1t 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 IL 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 hundred
times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. II Is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.

When the food fernients
take d3isurated MagnesiG


Four-fifths of the people who
complain of stomach trouble have
no actual organic disease but all
their trouble is due to hyperacid-
ity--too much acid.
1t is utterly useless to dose
yourself with strong drugs, pills,
pepsin, etc., for the excess acid
should be neutralized by taking a
teaspoonful of Bisurated Mag
nesia in a fourth glass Of water
after meals.
y Bisurated Magnesia. obtainable
from any druggist, will neutral
ize about four times as much acid
as soda, and it is very soothing
and healing to the tender irrita-
BILE stomach and usually gives re-
lief in the worst cases in from one
to five minutes.
The manufacturers guarantee
relief in all cases of stomach acid
ity or your money will be re-
funded.

There Is a message of yours

fateful journey Times corre-

DePage In the name OF the school
children Of America. who had
asked her to carry their sympathy
to the little princess. The scene
In the spacious salon was dramat-
ic. Everywhere there were sprays
of flowers and baskets Of fruit
and candy, waiting to be deliv-
cred. Women in elegant trav-
cling gowns were bidding fare
well to weeping relatives. Here
a nurse held little baby up for
its brother, who was left behind,
to kiss goodbye. There a young
bride was crying as her husband
tried to comfort her. >
These, the usual scenes on a
sailing day, we're rendered much
more intense by the restrained
excitement aroused by warnings
of disaster that we're now spread
ing rapidly through the ship.
With them in mind, and watch
Ing the sad farewells, Madame
DePage murmured to the CORE
spondent. This time, perhaps,
Monsieur, the methods of war
that have crushed my Belgian
people may bring bitter despair

Those were among the last
words, boys and girls. that your
kindly envoy of love to little
Princess Marie Jose spoke to any
person now alive!

Inasmuch as the ladies receive

count Of their hats. gowns, Golf
fures, etc., we believe that mere

lest he become too much enam-

Take, for instance, the fashion
affected by great many OF our
younger men, combing the hair
straight back, displaying to the
world Grecian, Roman and nu-
merous other types of forehead;
this is either an improvement
over or retrogression from the
