HAIR ON FACE
NECK AND ARMS
WHAT CAUSES 1T

Nature does not produce coarse.
stubborn growths Of superfluous hair.
They are caused by the unwise use of
so-called hair removers.
The only way to gain control of such
growths is to devitalize them. 1t is i'm
possible to accomplish this result with
pastes and rub-on preparations be.
cause they only remove hair from the
surface of the skin. DeMiracle, the
original liquid depilatory, devitalizes
hair by attacking 1t under the skin as
we'll as on the skin.
limitations of DeMiracle are as
worthless as pastes and rub-on prepa-
rations because they lack certain in
gradients that DeMiracle alone con.
tains which give it the power to rob
hair of it's vitality-its life sustaining
force.
Insist on the genuine DeMiracle and
you will get the original liquid hair re-
mover. Others are worthless imita-
tions-refuse them. DeMiracle is sold
in three sizes, soc, 81 90 and 5000 bot
ties. The larger sizes are the most
economical for dermatologists and
large users to buy. If your dealer will
not supply you buy a bottle at Glenn
drug stores or order
direct from us. The truth about the
treatment of superfluous hair mailed

STORES ASKED
TO SHUT DOORS
ON LABOR DAY

A strenuous effort is being made by
the Central Labor Union to have all
OF the local stores close half day on
Labor Day and they have a committee
which is visiting the merchants with
that object in view.
Tie Unions are asking the merch'
ants to close from IL to 6, and most
OF them have already signined their
willingness to do SO.
All the theatres will be closed on
the afternoon of that day and the
candy store proprietors have also
agreed to lock up their shops.
Every effort is being made by the
labor unions to make the Labor Day
celebration this year surpass all other
events OF similar character and
they can do SO with the cooperation
OF the business men.
Many novel attractions have been
arranged for the picnic at Athletic
park and If the stores are closed for
half day it is anticipated that there
will be a record breaking crowd
All business men who are willing
to help the unions in this matter are
requested to notify L. c. Harrison,
secretary Of the union.

ing In the shell-craters We threw more

we could not see each other. For .
moment the enemy recoiled, but, then
believing US finished. he advanced
again. ~ he had received reinforce
ments. yelling. singing and laughing.
we threw still more grenades.
AT the same moment we noticed
that the Frenchmen were also begin
ming to attack from one OF their
trenches ut our right, in the direction
OF the sugar refinery. Like peas from
barrel the they came pouring out OF
the smoke. The lieutenant shouted:
One man to the front, with grenades!'
A single soldier advanced and started
to throw bombs. Who was It?
Throws Back Foe.
II did it, answered one Of the
men. farmer from Silesia. took an
armful or grenades and fired away at
random. but the bombs hit their mark.
The Frenchmen fell back. When they
advanced again / had no more gre
nades and had to run. They sent
volleys after me. but safely reached
our trench. again and jumped into one
Of the craters.'
1--WE could do no more interrupt
ed another soldier. a youth of barely
twenty years, 1t was impossible to
hold that section of the trench, as it
had been completely destroyed There
was nothing left of it,
THAT was no reason to give up
the fight. the first sergeant said re-
proachfully. You still were twelve
men and should have held out
"The Frenchmen believed them
selves sure OF their success, but our
lieutenant was ready for them. He
sent eight men ahead into the craters,
and the fire Of this little detachment
moved the enemy down when he came
on in close formation. In the mean
time our machine guns had been
brought into action and the French
were driven back in front and at aur
flank.
But the section Of the trench for
which we fought had become useless
to us. We gave it up and slowly re-
treated. keeping het enemy at a re-
spectful distance by a heavy rifle fire.
For a short while the enemy took
possession of our destroyed ditch, but
he could not hold it. When we re-
took it by a counter attack we found
it filled with the bodies Of dead
French soldiers. We quickly dug our.
selves In again, but tomorrow the IT.
paired trench may be in the hands
of the enemy once more. Then we
will have to retake it again, and so it
goes on"

the following article from its con.
temporary of Jackson, the Clarion

in value, has recently given to the
public statement that breathcs the
sentiment of patriotism and good will,
and which is worthy of a place in
these columns.
when the Gulf Coast Traction line
was destroyed by the recent equinoc-

out that it would not be rebuilt, and
there was gloom and depression in
