Monumental "nerve" is exceeded to a
degree that is almost beyond the bounds Of
comprehension by the Chicago mail order
house people who invited the members of the
Illinois Press association to inspect their plant
and afterwards be entertained at banquet,
given and paid for by the mail order octopus
But the newspaper men lost no time in declin-

faith In their common sense and honesty of pur-
pose to protect the people of their home towns
from the greatest enemy of the country com

Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair

Few realize how many society
women now wash their own hair, not
because it is fad, but because they
wish to obtain the greatest possible
hair beauty and be sure they are not
using anything harmful. The thou
sands who have found that in washing
the hair it is never wise to use make
shift. but is always advisable to use
a preparation made for shampooing
only, say they get the best results
from simple homemade canthrox
mixture You can enjoy this, the best
that is known. for about three cents a
shampoo by getting some canthrox
from your druggists, and dissolving a
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water.
Your shampoo is now ready. After its
use the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear. Your hair will be so fluffy that
IL will look much heavier than il is.
It's lustre and softness will also de-
light you. while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair
growth.

A Clean. Cool Scalp
Partisan Sage Stops All OdOrs and
Keeps the Scalp Cool and Clean.

Almost everybody nowadays knows
that Partisan Sage. the invigorating
hair restorer. is guaranteed to cure
dandruff. stop falling hair and itching
scalp, or your druggist will give you
your money back.
But you ought TO know more about
this marvellous hair grower. You
ought to know that in five minutes
after an application, no matter how
hot the weather, your head will
be as cool as a cucumber.
You ought to know also. that II kills
all odors which arise from the excre-
lions OF the scalp.
Everyone ought TO have a bottle of
Partisan Sage on hand. because il is
such a pleasant and exhilarating hair
dressing. Ladies use it because they
know II makes the hair beautiful. silky
and luxuriant. Here's what a New
York woman writes: II have used
Partisan Sage two weeks only, yet in
that time / find my hair has wonder
fully increased in beauty. thickness
and luxuriance. But what surprised
me most was the disappearance Of all
dandruif."
A large bottle Of Partisan Sage
never cost more than so cents and is
sold at drug and toilet counters every
rhers.

rs that not oonstructive?" Mr.
Hughes asked Il believe that they
are the fundamentals OF constructive
policies which this nation Is facing
today"
Won't Stand Analysis.
Mr.. Hughes discussed the Demo
cratic slogan of prosperity. He said;
I'VE cannot afford in this country
to assume that our prosperity will
take care of itself Who is so tool
ish as to believe and to be deceived
by a prosperity maintained by the
European war; Our opponents as
sumo to ascribe to themselves the
benefits that have accrued from that
great contest. Their statements will
not stand the test Of careful analysis.
For example. they point to the trade
in munitions of war and say that that
is but slight in comparison with the
trade of other industries of the coun-
try. The manufacture and sale of
munitions have connected with IL con
siderable development of prosperity
as a part of the sale and mere manu-.
facture of munitions itself
when you look upon Europe we
find millions OF men in the trenches
consuming wealth. Do you suppose
you can withdraw from the length
and breadth of Europe millions Of men
from productive enterprises and not
feel the advantages Of II in this
country?
"Our opponents point to the devel
opment of exports. Do they not un
derstand that there is a. tremendous
loss in production which America s
making good--that this is true in al
most every industry and every part Of
our country?
When War is Over.
1T is obvious that when you take
the manhood of Europe and put ii into
war that the manhood OF America de-
voted to peaceful pursuits will have
opportunity in trade which otherwise
must be denied The test will come
when the war is over.
do you want to know what is like
ly to be the result of that test?
you do, consider the conditions in thii
country just before the outbreak o
the war. We had then the new tariff
we had then the new freedom; w
had then the present administrator

IF STRIKE CONES
Enough Loyal Employees"
Volunteer Services to
Man Necessary Trains
PROPERTY PROTECTION
ASKED BY OFFICIALS

In the event of a railroad strike,
officials Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
say the company will be able to give
ample train service. providing its
property and employees are protected
against violence. It was explained
today that the trains would be
manned by crews selected from the
large force Of employees who recently
volunteered their services to the com
pany in case of need
According to one of the officials, the
loyalty of this force is remarkable.
Clerks and Office heads, men unfamil-
lar with any form of manual labor,
have even expressed their willing
ness to act in the capacity of engine
wipers and oilers. should a strike be
declared. On the other hand. the
company has announced that it has
listed already the men who could be
called upon to act as conductors,
brakemen, engineers and firemen.
Naturally, the conductors willt be
selected principally from among the
office employees" explained the official
in discussing this matter. However,
it must also be remembered that many
of our employees have had experience
in more than one branch of the SER
vice, and among this number we have
found men capable Of performing
almost any DUTY in connection with a
train"
When the call for volunteers was
n On
each man was asked to sign up for the
position which he considered himself
best suited; therefore, the company
has been able TO estimate with more
or less accuracy just what kind OF
train service 1t can probably render
in case of a strike.
So far as engineers are concerned,
II has been announced that they will
be recruited principally from the
shop forces. According to an official
statement. an overwhelming majority
of the shopmen have placed their SER
vices at the disposal Of the company.
Probably of greatest interest ar
some of the figures showing just wha
the strike will mean and who and wha
will be affected. Here they are tabu

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. To-
Charles e. Hughes yesterday adj

solely of women voters. They heard
him in the first Of two speeches de-
livered here. Mr.. Hughes touched
upon suffrage and his views concern
ing It, and reiterated to large extent
attacks on the administration made
at Occur d'Alene, Idaho.
Il speak to you women as / do TO

come here to make a different kind of
speech from the kind l make to men.

and the means of effecting it. He
said:

different notion about the conduct of
our business than we have had in the
years gone by. This world is not the
world Of even twenty-five years ago.
This world is world that has found

preston of a terrible Gethsemane.
Horrible as is the spectacle Of war,
frightful as is the waste, we cannot
look upon them without realizing that
a new Europe is emerging from this
struggle. We cannot contemplate the
conditions of the twentieth century
without knowing that there is to be
new spirit in the United States If our
prosperity is to have a firm foundation.
/ Il must be a spirit which demands

/ the interests Of all the people.
1T is easy for some to become en-
thusiastic when the bands are playing

"Our opponents even point to the

that when this war ends there will be
