WHEN WAR ORDERS FAIL
No Employment for Montevideo and
Destitution Follows.

Montevideo, Aug. 23.-Lack of war
orders for frozen meats has caused the
closing of Frigorifico Uruguayo, or
Uruguayan Meat Freezing plant in the
district of Cerro, and the consequent
throwing of 1000 men out of employ
ment.
Unemployment is rapidly reaching
a critical stage in the district, as the
number of unemployed has doubled
several times by the closing of allied
industries. More men are being
thrown out of work daily. Much suf-
fering has resulted.
Stock farmers in the interior have
also suffered big slumps in the prices
paid for their produce. The belliger-
ents in Europe do not want any more
of these meats right now and there
are no ships for the plants production
to be shipped elsewhere in.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkah, which is very injurious, as it
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 the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. about a teaspoonful is
all that Is required It makes an
abundance of rich. creamy lather,

UPLIFT FOR jews
Russia Planning to Give Them
Absolute Freedom.
Bill VIII Be Placed Before
Duma in November.

Petrograd, Aug ga bill to abol-
ish the Pale and give to the Jews the
same rights as other Russian subjects
will be introduced in the imperial
duma here when that body convenes
in November.
Prof. Paul Miliukov, leader of the
cadets. so informed the United Press
today. following his return from a
visit to England, France and Italy with
other members of the Russian house.
This bill has the support of the
progressive party in the duma, there
fore of the majority" said Miliukov.
1T will contain three essential parts.
The first has for its object the removal
of the Pale (within which the Jews in
Russia, with a few exceptions, have
had to make their home), thus en-
abling them to live wherever they
choose The second will remove some
of the education limitations placed on
the Jews. and the third will make it
possible for him to choose any profess
sion or trade he cares to-"
The bill to remove the limitations
placed on Jews will not pass, however,
without considerable opposition. The
opponents say that the Jews would
soon have the peasants at their mercy
because they are keener business men.
Particularly do Russian leaders re-
sent outside interference in settling the
Jewish problem Count Kokovtsow,
ex-prime minister and minister of
finance. expressed this attitude to me
in this manner:
I'm the United States you force
southern people to pay taxes which
you use in huge sums to pay pensions
to northern people exclusively. But
you wouldn't like it if we refused to
have any dealings with you until you
treated southerners just as you treat
northerners"

above dispatch is a lecturer on his
