PoET-PLUMBER GETS

The letter from the French officer follows:
 January 22d, 1917. Dear Sir:-
 Although perfect stranger. I hope you will pardon the liberty I take in writing you these few lines. Not long ago I came across an American maga- zine left in one of our trenches-by whom, God only knows! I found much delight in perusing through it, and par ticularly so in reading some extracts of Wild Posies." Thirty months in this living help have not sufficed to make us forget all that is beautiful. Your posies are, and more than once I've found solace reading them between our fights.
 I have been thinking of how I could get your book, but as yet I have not found a way. Being on the line, I can not send you M. O., yet if you feel that you can trust a soldier of France, would be much obliged to you for having the editor send me your book. shall mail you a check or M. O. as soon as I receive it or get to a town. A lover of Nature. somewhere in France.

Tells How to Make Hair Grow Thick
 and Lustrous on Bald and
 Thin Spots.
 Thousands of men and women are growing bald every day and don't know the reason why. This is indeed a pity, says a hair specialist, who states that badness usually comes from carelessness, and that anyone who gives the hair just a little atten- ton should always have an abundance of good, healthy hair. Dandrun and dirt cause badness by clogging the pores in the scalp, and giving the dan druff germs fertile ground for prolific breeding.
 The treatment is very simple: re- move the dirt by shampooing at least once in ten days and destroy the dan druff germs by frequently applying a little of the real Parisian Sage, most efficient preparation that the best druggists everywhere are now recom- mending as one of the quickest and safest treatments to surely stop itch- ing scalp and falling hair. remove all dandruff and to properly nourish and invigorate the hair roots.
 Partisan Sage is also the discrimi- mating woman's favorite hair dressing because it gives her hair a softness and luster that fascinate and compel admiration. A generous bottle costs but little from Lee & Osgood Co.,, who guarantee it to you.
