Methods of Enrolling.

Enrollments can be made either by
writing direct to the officer in charge,
military training camps. Governors
Island. n. Y. or by applying to Basil
Miles, Room 104. Riggs building. who
is member of the governing commit
tee of the Military Training Camps AS
ISOLATION. The applicants will be fur
nished with enrolment blanks and cir
culars giving full information as to
what they will have to take with them
and the time the camps will be held
There has been some doubt about the
expense of the camps. The army bill
just passed by Congress not only au-
thorizes the maintenance of the camps
but contains a proviso for paying the
transportation and equipment of men
who enroll. However. at the present
time there is no appropriation from
which to pay these charges. so that I'M
less Congress provides the necessary
money before July 1, it looks very
much as though the men who go to
Plattsburg this year will have to do
so entirely at their own expense. From
estimates based on experiences of men
last year. these expenses need not ex-
coed $50. including railroad fare, cost
of equipment and maintenance in camp
at Plattsburg.D

Lady Gives Simple Home Recipe That
She Used to Darken Her Gray
Hair.

For years / tried to restore my gray
hair to its natural color with the pre-
pared dyes and stains, but none of them
gave satisfaction and they were all ex-
pensive. L finally ran onto simple re-
cipe which l mixed at home that gives
wonderful results. l gave the recipe,
which is as follows, to number of my
friends, and they are all delighted with
it, To ozs. of water add a small box
of Barbo Compound, l OF. of bay rum
and Ia OF. of glycerine. These ingre-
dents can be bought at any drug store
at very little cost. Use every other day
until the hair becomes the required
shade, then every two weeks. 1t will
not only darlen the gray hair, but re-
moves dandruff and scalp humors, and
acts as a tonic to the hair. 1t is not
