AUSTRIANS FAIL

Alarmed by the steady advance OF
the Italians in the Bainsizza plateau

the Austro-Hungarians were driven
back, leaving many dead behind
Again and again the Austro-Hunga-
rians returned to the attack with
fresh troops, and II was not until
seven assaults had been made that
the Teutons finally gave 1t up. This
great sacrifice of blood and effort
gained the Austro-Hungarians an ad-
vantage at only one point-the sector
of Hill No. 146.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair in
good condition. be careful what you
wash II with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (which Is pure and en-
tirely greaseless). is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub It in, One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance Of
rich, creamy lather. and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily, and removes every
particle of dust. dirt. dandruff, and
excessive oil. The hair. dries quickly
and evenly and il leaves 1t fine and
silky, bright, fluffy, and easy TO
manage.
You can get mulsified cOcoanut oil
ut most any drug store. II Is very
cheap, and a few ounces Is enough to
last everyone in the family for
lmonths.-AdVL

The South Bend Public:
Surely every loyal American heart
is being thrilled and thrilled repeat
edly in these stirring days at the
splendid bursts OF patriotic zeal of
many Of our own fellow citizens who
are demonstrating their loyalty and
devotion to the cause of liberty in
which our nation is the proud lead
er.
We are honored as a city and
blessed as a nation by the spirit and
deeds Of these gallant men. Should
we stop with our cheers and hur-
rahs, or shall we now reckon with
the stern responsibility that falls
upon us who are left safely and
snugly at home? When our boys
come back crippled. wounded. raw
aged by disease, where will they be
cared for? Some have homes. but
those who have nOt-where will
they go? To our institutions organ
lied for that work? Are our insti-
tutions prepared to meet the de-
mands that will be made upon
them? No, they can scarcely meet
the normal needs OF this rapidly
growing city, because public inter
est has not as yet been sufficiently
awakened TO the good they are al
ready doing, which is only a part
OF what could be done If ample
funds were available. We have
dealt very sparingly with our hos
pitfalls, and as a result their growth
has not kept pace with the demands
OF the city.
Isn't this a matter worthy the
most careful consideration of every
citizen? Doesn't IL call for the
whole hearted and enthusiastic sup
port of every thoughtful forward
looking person whose desire is that
South Bends duty toward those at
home who need care, as we'll as
those who have been called to de-
fend our homes, shall be faithfully
ard alphabetically fulfilled? The
answer is certainly yes!
Then let US all, as worthy and
sincere patriots, prepare and do our
part. not in the waving OF the Fltg
or in shouting hurrahs, but in serv-
ice, and service in the Federation
campaign today is as useful. and as
needful as anything the great ma
jority Of citizens can do for our
country at this time.

HAPPENINGS IN AND ABOUT TOWN
SOUTH BEND IS
SHOPPI Inc EARLY
Christmas Buying Has Already
Begun in Local
Stores.

Needing the oft repeated injunc-
ton. DO your Christmas shopping
early" South Bend citizens are al
ready beginning 10 lay in the things
with which they hope to gladden. the
hearts Of friends and relatives on
Christmas morn.
While the purchase OF Christmas
presents has not yet reached the
heavy proportions +; will later on.
the beginning has been encouraging
and il shows that the citizens Of
South Bend are willing 10 assist as
far as possible In relieving the bur
den OF the clerks and employees in
the local stores.
The fact that the country is at
war-the first Christmas this nation
has been engaged In actual warfare
since the Civil war, the conflict be
tween the United States and Spain
having been concluded during the
early fall I'm 1898,--is expected to
curtail in a great measure heavy
Christmas buying so pronounced in
years past. In regard to extrava-
gance.
The tendency seems 10 be 10 make
modest purchases. purchases of gifts
that show the spirit OF the occasion
without undue extravaganza. This
does not mean, however. that there
will be a great falling off in the
city's holiday trade. for. as it is
pointed out. more gifts are being
purchased by the givers. and gifts
OF more substantial and usefur ma
ture seem 10 predominant, accord
ing to local merchants.
Holiday displays have been in
evidence in the city's stores and
shops for some little time, and the
merchants are pleased 10 find that
these displays are bringing an early
response upon the part Of Christmas
shoppers generally
OF course the last minute shopper
Is looked for. and ne will be ac-
corded every opportunity to make
his or her belated purchases Of gifts
70 be given on the morrow. but the
nun Der or these last minute buyers
l. expected 20 be much smaller this
wear than ever before in the history

uous canvass for the army Y. NJ. c.
A campaign, 1 have had much op-
portunity to feel the pulse OF the
public as 10 how they regard the
many campaigns that are launched
for the worthy objects, most of them
incident to this war.
1t is not at all a difficult matter
TO interest people in any campaign
pertaining 10 the welfare OF our
boys either here or at the front, as
the recent campaign for the splen-
did Red Cross cause and the Y NJ
c. A. army campaign just closed.
Interested as / am in all the
worthy activities Of my home town
South Bend am especially anX-
ious that the splendid work the Fed
Grafton for Social Service is doing
will be better supported than any
previous year. for with the high
cost Of food and coal, il is needless
for me to bring TO your attention
the fact that these hospitals, Asso-
ciated Charities, Orphans home,
Children's Dispensary and Day
nursery must have our best sup
port.
never fully realized what the
army work was doing until l had
personal experience with the boys
at the environments, and / could only
wish that more of our business men
and women would take the time to
make a personal visit or inspection
OF what the institutions affiliated
with the federation are actually do
ing. 1 feel certain they would then
give far more literally than they
now are doing with only second
hand information that many Of
them possess.
In a time like this, we must not
sit down and coldly figure what our
profits must be this year or next,
but let's say 10 ourselves that dur
ing the progress of this war we will
be very fortunate indeed If we can
have enough to eat and clothe our
selves, and use our money TO help
the less fortunate to at least exist.
1 know of several public spirited
citizens who intend to increase their
subscriptions for the ensuing year.
and I trust this will be the general
feeling among the South Bend peo-
pie. w. o. DAVIES.
