Badness and Doqs.

A London physician says that falling
hair and badness may often be traced
expert" he says, knows that in nine
out Of ten cases the premature loss Of
hair is due to dandruff. That condi-
ton often results from the presence Of
microbes whose great source is the dog.
Ordinary cleansing with soap or sham
poo prepare tons is Of practically no
use, but simple antiseptics, such as
boric ointment, usually bring about a
speedy cure. AS preventive measure

The thrift of the Dutch has brought
to Holland fame of wealth that is
richly deserved. Yet in spite Of the
wealth, taken as a whole, the Neither
lands Go not contain many great for
tunes as fortunes are gagged in the
United States. A feature of Dutch
business is the number of small es-
Establishments or the great corporations
in which shares are held by many peo-
pie. Much of the money which the
country lends abroad is the savings of

THE New England Insurance

THE New England Insurance
4 Exchange has issued the fol-
lowing. Effective Nov. 18th there
will be an advance of 1870 on all
fire insurance rates. The insur-
ance business is no different from
any other, and conditions which
demand a general increase in prices,
affecting all lines of business, be-
cause of the increased cost of doing
business, and the increased expense
in the way of taxes to maintain the
defense of our Country, produce
the same results with the business
of insurance.
This is an emergency measure and it
is hoped that it may be temporary.
The advance, as stated above. is only
small compared with the advance in
almost all other lines of business.

Things the War Cannot DESTROY.

The December Woman's Home
Companion says:
'The war, with all it's changing eff
fort and need and sorrow and sacri-

Hoover expressed a great senti-
ment when he said Of the food card
campaign, "This is a great adventure
in democracy" In Germany when
anything in the food line is needed
to be conserved the government says
to the people, you shall eat but so
many ounces of -four per week and
only SO much sugar per day. And
that settles the matter. The people
eat but so much. Here the govern
ment says to US, we must save so
much -four, sugar and other foods to
feed our armies and win the war, will
you do it? In a few words that is the
meaning of our food conservation
not demands, food saving. We are
democracy, nation Of cooperative
individuals. That some may not bear
an unduly hard load everyone must
do his part. And when you hear
people excusing themselves for not
doing more in any direction, it may
be set down as a pretty safe bet that
they have not done what they should.
Their conscience isn't quite free and
easy. This whole nation is yet GA
great adventure in democracy" and
upon the outcome of this war de-
ponds the success Of the venture.
Will we voluntarily assume just and
equal burdens in our war?

The new selective-service regula-
tions have been made public by the
provost marshal general. Certain of
the regulations so into effect on Nov.
20, while others, notably those which
govern the process of selection and
classification will not so into effect
until December IS. The new regula-
tions not only repeal all preceding
regulations but cancel all exemptions
and discharges which have been
granted by local boards under the
present system. This will restore
every man to his original status, and
the local boards will send a ques-
tionaire to every man who is not in
the service.

The Monitor calls attention to an
editorial clipping in another column
of this paper entitled, Beware a
Hollow Mockery." This is regard
ing the food card pledges. Some just
criticism is being heard about the
continued custom of serving refresh
ments which waste the foods we are
asked to conserve, Refreshments as
a rule are not necessary, but if they
must be INDUCED in why not serve
something which does not use those
things which we are asked to save
for the sake of our fighting boys in
France A wholesome example was
set at a recent school reception in
Barton. Those in charge thought re-
freshments were necessary but re
sorted to peanuts and apples. While
novel, the guests were not only pleas
ed with the "eats" but were profuse
with their compliments to the young
people who refused to waste those
things we are pledged to save.

OF cattle were requisitioned in Mo-

were ordered to supply 10000 head of
cattle per month thereafter. 1t is
not necessity which has compelled
the Austrian government to make
these enormous acquisitions. In Hun
gary no acquisitions have taken place
to the present day, and the products of
the soil are bought and sold on the
open market AS a matter OF fact. the
following event exemplifes the atti-
tude of the Austro- Hungarian govern
ment towards the Cxechs. The So
called Gees syndicate Of Vienna was
given the power to requisition all OF
the fruits In twenty eight Czech dis
tricts. Out of the fruit crop, which
annually amounts to 1900 carloads,
the Gees syndicate is permitted to
ship 5000 carloads to Vienna and a.
600 to Germany. The fruit which the
syndicate was permitted to buy at
seventy hellers was later resold at one
crown and thirty-four heilers. giving
the syndicate a profit of $4,000. 900
