This is What Militiamen
Say About Their Pros
poets OF Moving
ROUTINE CAMP LIFE
BECOMING TIRESOME

Delaware militiamen at the State
Rifle Range continue to go through
the daily routine of a soldiers camp
life with no more definite idea OF
when they are to be moved than they
had a week ago, when it was an
nounced that Deming, New Mexico,
had been selected as the designation
for the two Delaware battalions.
Few of the boys hold out any hope
now of going to the border. i don't
know, but personally l don't think we
will 20 farther than we are now"
some of the men say. "Yes, we viii
60 but when we do go, it's a safe
bet it will be to our homes others
have been heard to remark.
Another rumor to the effect that the
troops would move just as soon as
the mules and horses for their trans
port wagons and ambulance arrived,
was circulated yesterday. Most Of the
men feel there is no truth whatever
in this, as it has been stated these
animals will be furnished when the
troops arrive at their destination, and
that this delinquency will not tend to
hold the men in camp.
Many members of the militia left
good positions to join their compan-
les, and are receiving no pay from
their employers. There are a num-
Der, however. who still continue to
draw their regular salaries. A num-
Der of the college students in camp
depend upon working during their va
cation for money to aid them in get
ting through their courses.
Members OF Company E shower
praise upon their cooks. The food
served them is as fine as any company
in camp.
Drills were held yesterday morn
ing, but after mess there was such a
heavy downpour of rain drills for the
Afternoon were omitted.
Practically all the men took swim
after the drills. The weather was idea
for this pleasure.
Each company on the grounds wa

Thousands of people who note with
alarm the steady falling and thinning
Of their hair ard have tried nearly
every advertised hair grower and hair
tonic without success, fear the time
when they shall be totally bald. Yet
their case is not hopeless II they will
adopt the following simple hair drill
recommended by a prominent hair
specialist. and daily massage their
scalp with little genuine Partisan
Sage in the liquid form.
First, massage tho scalp with me
dium stiff hair brush. to start a good
blood circulation; then part the hair
and pour a little Of the Sage on the
bare scalp and rub in vigorously with
the thumb and finger tips. Go over
the entire head in this manner until
the scalp tingles.
This will only take q few minutes
daily, and can be done just before go
ing to bed. A few ounces of Parisien
Sage used in this manner should pre-
vent any further los5 of hair and
cause new hair growth TO appear on
the thin spots.
This preparation is highly recon-
mended and is absolutely harmless.
as Il contains none Of the poisonous
wood alcohol, OF the sulphur, so fire.
