Disgusting Dandruff

The only way 10 he permanently rid OF dis
gusting, untidy dandruf is TO correct its cause.
Shampooing merely eleanses the scalp fof

the bare scalp, and rub II in with the finger
tips for a few minutes until absorbed by the
scalp You will surely be amazed at the result
Of even one application, for your hair and
scalp will look and feel 100 per cent. better.
Only few days massage with Partisan
Sage are needed to destroy the germs that
cause the dandruf TO form. The scalp becomes
healthy, the hair will grow better and show
more life and vitality. and you need never be
troubled by dandruff again. Faded. dull o.
lifeless hair is quickly restored to beauty by
this simple process. which is absolutely harm
less. and will not stain the hair or make It
greasy.

Trade Preparedness.

| The figures adduced by Chairman Will
cox OF the Republican national commit
tee, bearing on the temporary balance
OF trade under war conditions, contain
abundant food for thought ON the part
OF tine American people First off, the
phenomenal increase in our exports along
certain lines since the war began shows
conclusively that the war is the instru-
mentality by which the prosperity pro-
Iduced and maintained in normal times
under Republican administration has
been continued and even temporarily aug
mented under this Democratic admins
tration. Ii the wide Discrepancy between
our exports and our imports did not con
clusively prove this, the character of our
exports would. Secondly, as Mr.. Wilcox
so plainly points out the volume and ma
ture of our exports, outside those of
actual arms and ammunition, show that
Europe, while its potentially productive
laborers are engaged in a business which
takes them out OF the field of production
and makes them non producing, even
destructive, consumers is preparing her
self against the struggle for the worlds
markets which is bound to ensue imme
diately upon the close of the war.
Let no one permit himself to be de-
luded into the supposition that the de-
gree of so-called prosperity which we now
enjoy can continue, under the Under
wood low-tarif law, after the artificial
source of it shall have been removed
by declaration of peace. We have man
aged, after fashion, to keep out of the
European war; we cannot hope to es-
cape the commercial war which will sure
ly follow it, for we shall be the center
of attack in that. Europe is making
rapid and thorough preparations, in every
possible way. If we are to make even a
showing, we must avail our
selves of the advantage which is ours
by putting our industries into shape for
the conhict-and especially by re-erect-
ing tariff bulwark which shall protect
our manufactures and our laborers from
the threatened avalanche of foreign
made goods produced by illpaid work
srs and hurled upon us in such fashion
rs to admit of no American competition.

ACCEPTED BARRE DESIGN
Out of "a Presented for Soldiers Monu-

Scituate, Mass. Oct. 25.-A maiority

ment, the site of which has been the
subject of several picturesque" rows be-

Thomas w. Lawson. and the town au-

design offered by James Craig of Quincy
and awarded him contract for $1,000,
thereby precipitating a new, and this

William H. North, with Prof. Henry
Turner Bailey acting as an advisory
member.
Twenty-four designs were offered for

FALL GARDEN CLEANING.
Plot Needs overhauling Just as Much as
House.

Garden cleaning in the fall is as i'm.
portant in its way as housekeeping in
the spring, whether flowers or vegetables
make up the garden plot. The achieve.
ment of garden cleanliness at this sea.
son will often do much toward insuring
healthiness and thriftiness of plants
during the next growing season. The
foliage and branches of plants which
have been attacked by disease or badly
infested by insect pests should be cleaned
up especially well and burned.
II ii is possible or desirable to clean
away plants from some portions of the
garden before frost, such areas may well
be sown to rye as a cover crop, the
growth to be turned under in early
spring. incidentally, also, the patches
of green will give the otherwise bare
garden a clearly and more cheerful ap.
pearance during the winter.
IL Is after frost that cleaning is most
needed in the garden. When annual
plants have been nipped, those that may
harbor disease or insect pests should be
cut down or dug up and burned. If the
soft-leaved plants which will rot easily
are free from disease and insects, they
may be turned under advantageously at
this time 1t is not well, however, to
turn under tree leaves, especially such
tough leaves as those from oaks. These
make valuable compost when rotted, but
usually require two years for proper de-
composition They should be collected
and placed in compost pile or pit main
tanned in convenient location. Soil,
wood ashes, lime and fresh manure
should be mixed in the compost heap.
The fall is the time also to cut down
asparagus bushes. This should be done
after the foliage dies. The old canes of
black raspberries also should be cut out
at this time. If there is reason to be-
lieve that the trimmings harbor diseased
spores or insects, they should be burned.
Rhubarb leaves should be removed in
late fall and the crowns mulched with
straw or manure.
