Registration

Both parties are taking no chances to see that
persons who have not registered omit doing this
important thing. They are revising their poll
books and their leaders will call on delinquent
voters, advising them to be sure and register. Of
course, every voter ought of his own accord and
initiative know whether he must register, but the
sad fact remains that many of them are remiss
on the details preliminary to their right of enjoy
ing suffrage and need to be prodded by party
workers. Should voter have the slightest doubt
as to whether he is entitled to vote, he does not
want to wait but ought find out at once

ITactlVe as natural h IT.
Most ladies would resent any impu-
tation of personal carelessness and
neglect. And yet very many permit
their natural hair to become SO dull,
brittle and lusterless that it looks no
better than that bought at the store.
All this is as unfortunate as it is
unnecessary. Hair that is unsightly
or thin may usually be attributed to
the destroying effects Of Dandruff.

nfttee OF business men is at work to
find out just what arrangements can
be made between the town and the
