Seeds of Badness Come Often From
Neglect in Youth.
The hair of some children is natur-
ally backward in healthy develop
ment. Growing up so fast, mental and
bodily development of these boys and
girls makes tremendous demands up
on their vital forces. And oftentimes.
when there is not enough of that vital
force to supply all needs, it is the hair
which suffers. Dry, dull, brittle,
the result and Mother is distressed
because of its lack OF beauty.
Partisan Sage is the ideal hair and
scalp treatment for growing children
as many mothers can testify This
delicate and wholesome scalp vitaliz-
er is entirely harmless and it's nour-
ishing ingredients supply just the
elements OF nutrition that properly
invigorate the hair and scalp. dissolve
dandruff and promote healthy normal
hair growth.
Many mothers have become person
al users Of Partisan Sage because of
the good 1t has done their children.
Certainly a preparation that is tender
and wholesome enough to invigorate
baby's scalp is a preparation well
suited for mother, too. P,'risian
Sage is sold by w. i. Gokay and
many other good druggists, and the
cost is trifing.

German Officers Are Confident
That the Forces Can Defend
Per0nne
CARL w. ACKERMANN, UNITED
PRESS CORRESPONDENT

At the German Army Headquarters
at Peronne, France, July 26.-The
German officers are unanimous in
their condolences that the German
defense of Peronne will be made good.
The first shock of the British and
French attack has been successfully
withstood 1t is now believed that
Peronne can be held indefinitely. The
allies have demonstrated their inabil-
ity to break through the German lines.
One circumstance that creates con-
fidence is the fact that Kaiser Will
helm has departed from the western
front and gone to the eastern. He
evidently believes the Germans on the
west are we'll able to hold treir own,
and that the offensive movement of
the Anglo French allies will soon be
brought to halt.
German generals declare that the
wedge that the allies have driven into
the German-held territory in France
is bound to prove a menace to the
allies themselves, since it exposes
them to flank attacks by the Ger
man.
1t is understood that the French
are now pushing on to Roye.

Fear New Explosion.
Cleveland, July 26.-Federal officials
investigating the water works tunnel
disaster, which cost twenty-five lives,
ordered all attempts to reach the
bodies of twelve men imprisoned in
the tunnel abandoned for the present.
This action was taken because tests
of the gas in the tunnel through which
the rescuers had to pass showed that
it is highly explosive and the officials
feared a second explosion. An attempt
will be made to pump out the gas so
that the work of recovering the bodies
may progress.
Four investigations, city, county,
state and federal, will be started to
determine the cause of the gas explo-
sion near the five-mile crib end Of the
tunnel which entombed the twelve
men and released the gas which over
came the two rescue parties. The
lack Of safety devices, such as gas
helmets and pulmotors, at the crib
and shore ends of the 10000 foot tun-
mel, also will be Investigated.
A third rescue party equipped with
the safety devices entered the tunnel
and recovered the rescuers. ten of
whom were dead. Gustav G. Van Du-
zen, superintendent Of construction,
was among the rescuers who were re.
vived.
According to the federal investiga-
tors the electric wiring in the tunnel
was faulty.
