GIRLS---DO YOU KNOW why
YOUR HAIR IS
UGLY?

Abigail Moore. the noted beauty au-
thority, says, THE hair is a register
OF the physical condition. Cleanli-
ness and massage. as well as careful
combing and brushing are most i'm
portant.
Many women do not realize the ne
cessity of keeping the hair and scalp
absolutely clean in order TO look their
best at all times. And yet, with only
a few minutes of tonic massage, the
hair may be brought to beautiful,
thick, lustrous luxuriance, and that
at very little cost
Just try these few simple direc-
tions today: Into the palm of the hand
pour a little Partisan SaSe, a rigidly
guaranteed, inexpensive and most
beneficial preparation TO be had at
any drug store; thoroughly wet the
hair near the scalp with it and then
rub vigorously until a soft tingline
sensation comes stealing over the
head. Do this regularly for few
days and occasionally wet your brush
with the tonic and gently brush oui
the hair-you will surely be surprised
and delighted with the results.
The genuine Parisian' Sage is OBJ
tainable from our local druggists whC
sell il with an absolute guarantee o
/ perfect satisfaction TO the user )r thi
money paid will be returned.

equipment for that million OF men.
War will mean the necessity Of mob
ilizing industries as well as soldiers,
for every man on the battle front
there will be required another man in
the various industries to manufacture
the supplies that will make him worth
anything to his country. or enable him
to fight for il. We have learned the
lesson that fixed artillery at coast de-
fense posts will not prevent an inva-
sions OF the country. Don't think for
an instant that an invader will come
up the Delaware river against the
magnificent forts and mine field that
protect your city and Philadelphia.
He would land at Atlantic City. or
Cape May. or Lewes, ana not only
have no forts with which to contend.
but would have trunk lines OF railway
to transport himself to Philadelphia
or Wilmington. or excellent roads and
numberless automobiles for the same
purpose. and with what would we OPP
pose him? II Is worthy of earnest
thought. my friends. and il is because
we know what has happened in Eu-
rope that We dread war. and urge
that this country be so thoroughly
prepared against It that we will be
so strong that the other nation will
not attempt any invasion OF our
shores"

VIRGINIA Beats BILL TO
BAN SILHOUETTE skirts

RICHMOND. Va. Feb. 1O.-Declar-
ing that short skirts and low cut
waists have had more to do with the
downfall Of young men than anything
else. Delegate William Meyers, Of
Richmond. has offered an amendment
TO the Browning anti-redlight bill
which provides limitations on wo-
mans dress as follows:
'No female shall appear in public
within this commonwealth with a
skirt which does not reach within
four inches Of the ground, with a
waist or bodice which exposes more
than three inches of the chest or
back. and that no transparent skirt
shall be worm He said:
"Mr, Speaker, complete nudity is
more decent than the silhouettes one
sees in the summer time when the
women walk up and down the streets
of this city"
The amendment was defeated.

Jump from Bed
in Morning and
Drink Hot Water
TELLS why everyone should drink
hot water each morning
before breakfast.

Why is man ana woman. half the
time. feeling nervous. despondent,
worried; some days headachy. dull
and unstrung; some days really inca
paoitated by illness.
II we all would practice inside
bathing, what a gratifying change
would take place. Instead OF thou
sands of half-sick, anaemic-looking
souls with pasty. muddy compilations
we should see crowds Of happy. heal
thy. rosy-cheeked people everywhere.
The reason is that the human system
does not rid itself each day of all the
waste which il accumulates under
our present mode OF living. For every
ounce of food and drink taken into
the system nearly an ounce OF waste
material must be carried out, else IL
ferments and forms ptomaine-like
poisons which are absorbed into the
blood.
Just as necessary as il is to clean
the ashes from the furnace each day
before the fire will burn bright and
hot. so we must each morning eleai
the inside organs Of the previous
days accumulation of indigestible
waste and body toxins. Men and
women. whether sick or well. are ad.
vised to drink each morning. before
breakfast, a glass Of real hot water
with a teaspoonful Of limestone phos
phate in il, as a harmless means oi
washing out Of the stomach. liver

flying the entire alimentary canal be
fore putting more food into the
stomach.
Millions OF people who had thei
turn at constipation. bilious attacks

sleepless nights have become real
cranks about the morning inside

REPLIES TO DR.. LYON
ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNAL:

To the Editor OF THE EVENING
JOURNALS:
Sir-I desire to place before the
public the correct views which Chris
tian Scientists hold in connection with
some statements made by DR.. Milford
Hall Lyon in his sermons recently. In
making this correction have no wish
to enter into controversy on the merits
of different religions.
Sin must be reckoned with by every
Christian Scientist and not ignored, as
DR.. Lyon would indicate in his re-
mark, THE followers OF Mrs. Eddy
claim that sin Is a fgment OF the
Imagination" Christian Scientists are
followers OF Christ's teachings in the
destruction OF sin. From the Chris
ton Science textbook. page 497.
quote, I'VE acknowledge Gods for.
giveness OF sin in the destruction o
SIM; and from the same book, page
266, THE sinner makes his own he'll
by doing evil, and the saint his own
heaven By doing right"
The work of Christian Science Is Ia
destroy the false belief that there Is
| pleasure in sin. / quote from the text
book again. page 294. THE inebriate
believes that there is pleasure in in
toxication. The thief believes that he
gains something by stealing. and the
hypocrite that he is hiding himself.
The science OF mind corrects such
mistakes, for truth demonstrates the
falsity OF error"
We would not advise DR.. Lyon 10
try to test the efficacy OF Christian
! Science by his present conception of
rs practice. We would suggest that
he consider his own words. Opinions
are often formed from inclination
rather than information"
Very truly yours,

ZERO DAYS FREEZE AUTO OIL.
Frozen Oil Guage Fools One Man
Into Overfilling Motor.

In winter time it is we'll to test
the depth of oil in warm rather
than a cold motor. Here's an incl
dent that will illustrate:
A motorist recently brought his
car to the automobile department at
Iowa State college to discover what
was the trouble with it. 1t fired ir-
regularly and would scarcely run.
Everything seemed to be in tip top
shape except that the plugs were
badly fouled with oil. The operator
stated that altho he had filled the
lengine that morning he was sure
that he had not poured in too much
oil, because the guage, cork float,
had not registered high when he fill
ed it. 1t was now, however, agains!
the upper stop and about 2 " gallons
of oil was removed before the guage
began to sink.
The oil in the engine had frozen
so that it did not rise in the crank
case
