Ladies! Men! Here's the quick est, surest dandruff cure
 known

Thin, brittle. colorless and scraggy hair is mute evidence of neglected scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
 There is nothing so destructive to the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of it's lustre, its strength and it's very life; eventually producing a feverish- ness and itching of the scalp, which if not remedied causes the hair roots to shrink, loosen and die-then the hair falls out fast.

SUPERVISION. ATTENDANCE

If someone stole or wasted
one-fourth of the money that
was taken from the taxpayers,
there would be a great TODD
about it. Yet in the rural dis
tricts we are wasting at least
one-fourth the money that is
spent for public schools.
Here are the official figures,
compiled from the reports of
county superintendent:
Average term of rural schools,
154 days;
Average attendance per pu-
pill, 97.9 days;
Percentage of non-attendance,
sc per cent.
According to that, more than
one-third of the teaching time
never gets to the pupils. 1t is
not quite as bad as that because
the official figures include many
children who go to school part
of the year in one district and
part in another. But any way
you figure it, not less than rs
per cent of the school time is
lost.
It is not only that the boy, who
is out of school loses a week or
a day while he is absent. When
he comes back he has to catch
up; and while he is catching up,
the others are held back.
Partly the absence is unavoid-
able bad roads, storms, sick
ness. But a very large part of
it is just plain don't-care. The
children don't care and the par
ents don't care.
Superintendent Young in St.
Louis county proved what can
be done. He found the attend.
ance record was 80 per cent. He
had monthly reports made to
him from each district and he
began sending letters to school
officers and parents Of delinquent
children, pointing out what they
were missing, how they were
missing, how they were wasting
opportunity and public money
by absences. Next year the at
tendance was IS per cent and
the second year it was 90.
Better supervision of attend
ance saved half the lost time.
Many county superintendent
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1916-12-06

are not as we'll situated as Supt.
Young. In a large county, he
had help enough SO that when
he had worked out his system a
clerk could attend to the details.
Most superintendent are allowed
to employ a clerk only a few
days in the year. It needs help
the thing must be done sys-
tematically and no superintend-
ent who is running his office
single-handed could find time
for the details.
A great deal might be accom-
plished by a volunteer campaign
conducted by neighborhood clubs,
for instance-the county super
intendent and the teachers would
cheerfully cooperate. But if
regular help is given the super
intendent, as the rural school
committee proper, there is nc
question but his assistants will
be able in practically every coun-
ty to bring up the attendance
record and cut down the loss Of
school time and school oppor-
tunity.

CHRISTIANS MESSAGE.

James Whitcomb Riley,
passing a winter in Florida,
sent the following Christ
mas message to the people
of Indiana:
"Christmas means love.
We cannotpicture it without
seeing the spangled Christ
mas tree girt with the faces
of gleeful youngsters, glad
parents and happy bodies re-
turned home from town or
far metropolis.
1T sounds like bells and
cracking logs and shouts of
children, and even our old,
round shouldered, sorrow
ridden planet, with his eyes
knocked out on his cheek,
pauses to smile from sea to
sea, and love is everywhere
rejuvenated."

FREEING PASTURES FROM FERN
WEEDS IN THE EASTERN j. s.

er more than one third Of the ground.
II S acres are covered per day. with
labor at $3.50 the total cost Of spray
ing is about $1.05 per acre for each
application, exclusive Of the cost OF
hauling.
Two sprayings year, Just previous
to sporting, about the middle Of June
and the middle OF August are neces-
sary. Burn over as soon as they have
dried up. AZ the use Of the salt spray
is something Of a detriment to the
growth Of young clover. efforts to en-
courage clover to work into the patch
es and help choke them down should
be deferred until after the August
spraying.
After the ferns have been reduced to
a minimum, the specific treatments
may be discontinued at least until they
again become troublesome. It Is prob
ably not practicable to entirely Grad
icate ferns. The immediate reduction
Of the number of ferns, however. will
give the grass and clover opportunity
to work in. and this in itself will tend
to hold the ferns in creek. Cultivation,
on the other hand, where tried seems
not to be EFFECTIVE. as the ferns work
in again sooner or later even where the
patch is used for potato growing for
a year.
The actual experiments were made
with the hay-scented fern, but the re-
suits are believed to be fully as effect
i've in the treatment of the brake in the
Eastern States.

BENZ. /. HOMER
LOSES HISLIFE--
HIT BY ENGINE
Struck by West-bound Freight
No. 348 at Overhead Bridge,
Augusta-Both Legs Severed
Dies Later at General Hos
pital

Benjamin H. Homer, aged about SO
years and employed as laborer at the
Cushnoc Paper Cos. mill at the east
'end of the Augusta dam, had both
legs cut off shortly after 5 o'clock Mon
day afternoon, when he was on his
way home to No. 8 Morton place from
his work and while about in the CEN
ter of the overhead Water street
bridge. He was taken to the Augusta
General hospital where at about Z
o'clock he passed away.
The train which struck the unfor-
tunate man was No. 34S, which was in
charge Of Conductor Willett and En-
g1neman Waterman, and which goes
west at 80 p. NJ. At the time of this
trains departure another train, No.
BAL, goes east, and Monday this train
was in charge Of Conductor Farnham
and Engineman Alliston. These two
trains usually cross on the bridge and
this was the case Monday afternoon.
Mr.. Homer was very deaf and was
walking on the west-bound track. He
was seen by B. R. Niles, who is en-
PloyCu dI TIE L -11OlWdy store,
and who says the man apparently
heard nothing of the train, although
he tried to attract his attention. The
engine struck and threw Homer under
it, dragging him some distance, to
where he was picked up by the en-
gineer, who had quickly stopped his
train.
The engineer shouted for ropes and
Mr.. Niles rushed into the Fuller-H
way building and cut off a piece Of
binding rope, with which he hurried
70 Homer and he and the engineer
bound them tightly about the injured
limbs. The right leg was severed be-
low the knee and the left above the
knee.
The injured man remained conscious
and asked that his son Ralph in Gar
diner be telephoned to. He was sup
ported by the bystanders and given
water, until Plummer's ambulance soon
arrived and he was hurried to the Cen
eral hospital. where he passed away

The presence Of the hay scented
fern and the brake fern in pastures
in the Eastern United States is a Sc
rious detriment to the grazing Of live
stock, which is a prominent feature in
farming In this section. The Depart
ment Of Agriculture. in Farmers Bull
ietin No. 6S7. recommends the fol-
lowing means of reducing these pas
ture-wasting pests:
Cut the fern with a scythe In the
middle of June just as the spores are
beginning to mature and repeat the
cutting about the middle of August
before the second crop of spores have
a chance to spread. AS soon as the
cut ferns are dry. burn them over to
lessen the vitality Of the rootstocks.
After the cutting and burning. the
land can be seeded with pasture grass
and clover. A better stand will be OBJ
tained II lime or lime and fertilizer
are applied in addition to the seed.
A second method is to spray the fern
growth with salt and water distributed
with a hand bucket pump or KNAPP
sack sprayer. When the field is solo,
Gated that water for spraying Is not
easily accessible the cutting is probab-
ly easier. With ferns Of an average de-
gree Of thickness. a man with a KNAPP
sack sprayer ought to cover about
acres a day. The salt Is used at the
rate Of 1 pound to about l IL quarts
Of water, and $50 pounds Of salt ought
to be enough to spray the average acre
