MOTHERS YOUR
CHILDREh'S HAIR
NEEDS CARE
Seeds of Badness Come often From
Neglect in Youth.

The hair of some children is natural
" backward in healthy development.
Growing up so fast, mental and bodi-
ly development of these boys and girls
makes tremendous demands upon their
vital forces. And oftentimes, when
there is not enough of that vital force
to supply all needs, it is the hair which
suffers. Dry, brittle, Understanding
hair and dandruff is the result and
Mother is distressed because of its
lack of beauty.

as many mothers can testify. This deli

entirely harmless and it's nourishing in

nutrition that properly invigorate the

promote healthy normal hair growth.
Many mothers have become personal
users of Partisan Sage because of the
good it has done their children. Ger

scalp is preparation well suited for
mother, too. Partisan Sage is sold by
Wilfred F. Root and many other good
druggists, and the cost is trifling.

WHEN YOU WAKE
UP DRINK GLASS
OF HOT WATER
Wash the polsons and toxins from
system before putting more
food into stomach.
Says Insido-bathing makes any
one look and feel clean,
sweet and refreshed

Wash yourself on the inside before
breakfast like you do on the outside.
This is vastly more important because
the skin pores do not absorb ilnpuri-
ties into the blood, causing illness,
while the bowel pores do.
For every ounce of food and drink
taken into the stomach, nearly an
ounce of waste material must be
carried out of the body. If this waste
material is not eliminated dav by day
it quickly ferments and generates
poisons, gases and toxins which arc
absorbed or sucked into the blood
stream, through the lymph duets which
should suck only nourishment TO sus-
tain the body.
\ splendid health measure is to
drink, before breakfast each day, !,
glass of real hot water with d tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.
which is harmless way to wash
these poisons, gases and toxins from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
A quarter pound of limestone phos

HANNA AT BENNINGTON.
Cleveland Publisher Has Rented House
for Winter Home In Vermont.

Dan r. Hanna, the well-known
Cleveland publisher, and Mrs. Hanna
arrived in Bennington Monday night
with the intention of passing the next
three months at Old Bennington. They
have leased of Miss Louise Vial the
cottage opposite the property of Ed.
ward H Everett and generally known
as the Oviatt house.
With Mr.. and Mrs. Hanna was the
publisher s private secretary, w. IL.
Foster, and two maids. The family
reached town in the early hours of the
morning with the mercury lowering
around zero but are now comfortably
housed in the quarters which will be
their home until next spring.
Four years ago Mr.. Hanna passed
through Bennington on a tally-ho trip
to the White Mountains. At that time
the beautiful surroundings of Old Ben
nington made lasting impression on
him and he registered an intention to
some time make longer stay in the
village.
Mr.. Hanna is a son of the late Unit
ed States Senator Mark Hanna.

BOUND AND GAGGED
GREENFIELD WOMAN
Three Men Who Ransacked Apartment
in the Elm House Last Night Sc
cured Only SIS.

GREENFIELD, Mass, Jan. g. = A
call to the Greenfield police headquar-
tiers from the Elm house last even
ing revealed a story of an assault on a
tenant of the apartment house, the ram
sacldng of the rooms, and the disap-
pearance of three roughIy-dressed
strangers who committed the deed. The
victim of the assault was Mrs. Clifford
Hebert, bride of but a few weeks,
who, with her husband, lives in the
three-room suite on the third floor of
the Elm house. According to the story
told by Mrs. Hebert, about 8 clock
last evening while she was preparing
the evening meal, three rough appear
ing men suddenly entered her kitchen
One of them displayed a revolver,
threatening to shoot her if she made
any outcry. The men then bound and
gagged her and proceeded to ransack the
apartment, pulling out the bureau
drawers and conducting thorough
search for valuables.
A few minutes later they left the
apartment again, warning the young
woman to be quiet. Immediately fol-
/ lowing their departure Mr.. Hebe1t
reached home from his work at East
| Deerfield at about ESQ. His wife
unlocked the door, admitted him and
/ then SW0Oned. She has since been IN
/ an extremely nervous condition, re
quiring the services of doctor and a
nurse.
Mr.. Hebert found his wife with heI
hands tied rather clumsily with d
elothesine, and a handkerchief tiee
about her mouth. An inventory OF
the valuables in the apartment re
vealed nothing missing, bat about 81
taken from a handbag. Considerable
jewelry lying about the top of the Blu
lreau was not touched. None of thu
other tenants of the building saw thu
three men nor heard any unusual com
motion Neither were the men seen t,
enter nor leave the building. Chief o
Police Manning answered the call t
the Hebert apartment, but Mrs. He
bert S condition was such that sh
! could give but little assistance in clear
ing up the matter. Previous TO her re
: cent marriage, Mrs. Hebert was Mis-
Marguerite Gillette.

We are presenting to our thousands
of readers in the likeness of the above
young man, the prime mover, organi-
zer, and first representative of Negro
insurance in Georgia in general and
of The Pilgrim Health and Life in
particular. 1t was in the brain of
"Sol.' Walker that the organization
of The Pilgrim was first conceived and
given to the public. For more than
ten years Mr.. Walker has been Dis
trict Manager of the Atlanta Division
of his company and by hard and per-
sistent work, fair and impartial deal
ing, together with the payment of
claims for all diseases, has made for
The Pilgrim a name and record that
always stand for good. Today the
weekly colIectable debit of the Atlanta
District is upward of $500 which
places this company IN lead over ali
colored companies of like business.
His corps of workers in the city alone
consists of sixty persons and their
method of operation is the talk Of the
town. The Atlanta Debit under the
present manager is larger than that
of the home office and in fact is the
largest branch office Of sick benefit
insurance in the country. Mr.. Walker
is man of executive ability, knowing
how to bring things to pass. He is
the founder and President Of The At

a strong real estate corporation capi-

Gentlemen
You are, no doubt, interested in the
industrial progress of the country.
and in common with others, have, no
doubt, recently experienced very
happy solution of what at first seemed
to present n difficult problem The
securing of labor to take the place of
labor hurriedly called to Europe by
reason of the war; demand so dras-
tic and widespread as to almost cause
every industrial plant in the country
employing laborers, to be effected. and
perhaps beyond their ability to oper-
ate, had it not been for the heretofore
unreported, unsolicited and apparently
unknown army of waiting artisans
and laborers, in the south land, an
Xious, eager and qualified to do as
much or more than their predecessors.
Hence there was no panic, no shutting
down of plants by reason of the here
tofore favored laboreys being taken so
suddenly from our midst upon a mis-
sion filled with murder, widowhood
and orphanage, rather than peaceful
homes and profitable labor.
But now that this situation has been
met like all other discoveries of eco
nomic value, rules and regulations to
govern and protect are essential and
necessary for laborers coming to the
rescue of the country in this economic
crisis, should not be exploited,
and wasted and finally lost to the
country. 1t should be conserved and
retained as "A source Of permanent
good to the country and to the laborer
himself
Just how to do this is the purpose
of this lettc-. What would you sug-
gest? DO sou believe proper thought
has been given to the feeding and
housing Of this new element of the
south among us in the norti. Have
employers given any consideration to
the social life of these beings? Has
any inquiry been made by any inter
ested, competent authorities as to how
they spend their Sundays and holi-
days, and what, in the end becomes
of their earnings? Has any of it went
to satisfy illegal demands predicated
upon alleged wage contracts? What
element of citizens, if any, oppose the
employment? Has the project been
regarded by both men and employers
as temporary, and if so, why?
Europe has always existed and al
ways will, and so will the southland.
Shall the American again permit the
European at the Europeans pleasure
to replace the American at the Amcri-
cans displeasurc, or shall there be
savings in transportation, in time,
and in the lie itself, by shortening
the route between the labor market
and the field Of labor, by using the
home product permanently, or shall
we resort to principles of old and
have these men, these sons Of toll,
work only when it suits the convent
ence Of the European?
An answer, whatever it may be, to
one or each of these questions will
enable one to assemble some plan for
permanent good concerning one Of the
most interesting problems Of our time.
Respectfully yours,
Beauregard S. Moseley.

have done the work. There Is
attitude Of permanancy on part
Of the farmers which seemed
some what lacking last year. A
standard for. good work and real
home building seems evident.
The bean area has been in
creased 80 percent as indicated
by crop reporters and personal
observation. A 90 percent con-
dition is reported as compared
with rs percent coddition this
t me last year. Conser-
vative estimates place the to-
tai area at $4,000 acres. This
area taken at the average y.elda and
the price of last year would yield
a quarter of a million dollars.
With prices which at present
seem possible and the possible
increase in yield resulting from
the better stands, the half million
mark may be within our reach

Destructive Jacks

The dry season appears to have
been favorable for the breeding
of rabbits. All the farmers have
hard luck stories to tell of the
damage done by rabbits, squirrels
rats and other rotents. One far
mer lost his entire stand of cam
taloupes; another had seven acres
of beans destroyed; another thir-
ty acres of field crops ruined, are
rample reports. 1t is said that
three jackrabbits will eat as much
as a goat and jacks are every
where. The farmers out north
made a small drive last week
and killed nearly six hundred.
Some of the settlers say it is poor
policy to kill the rabbits after
the crops are destroyed as it cuts
off their next winters meat sup
