Red Cross work has also been UNDER

zoo bed and table linens have been

women are knitting garments con-

The members of this committee have
collected quantities of magazines and
books. which are now ready to be ship

One of the most important features
of this branch of the war service relief
committee is providing homes for the

ITS logged as does it, has never

succeseded with any great task,
whether it be Cyrus Field laying the
Atlantic cable or the Wright brothers
conouering the air, are those who have
perserved and preserved and per per

realm of character. Everybody has
impulses to holiness, and most persons
know hours of high vision and reSolu-
ton where they determine to dwell on
the heights. But noble lives do not
come by occasional inspirations. A
steady. resolute. unshakabie persis-
tence through all changes of temper

Christ-like deeds-that is what makes
the sanity character. In the govern
ment of life emotion may be the leg
islative branch, but the willis quality
of purpose is the executive branch.
Doing ones duty is the only heroism.
Anything short of duty is cowardice.
Beyond it one cannot go: yet 1t is
impossible for a person to do more
than his duty. That is why the dis
claimer of modest heroes so often,
and properly, is 81 did only my duty"
The persons who become notable in
heroism are generally those who have

The secret of faith. the secret of
endurance, the secret of success in the
Christian life is seeing Him who is
invisible" We get all our faith by
keeping the eye firmly fixed upon Him
in whom faith has its beginning and
end. Would you trust more? Then
look at Jesus more All of a Chris

HOW TO BE RID OF
CHRONIC DANDRUFF

The only way to get rid of disgust
ing, untidy dandruff is to correct its
cause. Shampooing merely cleanses the
scalp for few days, then the scales
form again as thick as ever
TO destroy the dandruf germ and
get rid OF the dandruff for good, part
the hair and apply little of the gen.
uine Partisan Sage directly on the bare
scalp and rub it in until absorbed. You
will surely be amazed at the result of
even one application, for your hair and
scalp will look and feel 100 per cent.
better. Only few days massage with
Partisan Sage should be needed to de-
stroy the germs that cause dandruff to
form. The scalp becomes healthy, the
hair will grow better, show more life
and vitality and you should no longer
be troubled by dandruff. Faded, dull or
lifeless hair is quickly restored to beau
ty by this simple process. Partisan Sage
can be obtained from the Red eros Phar-
macy and druggists everywhere. 1t is
not expensiye.-Adv.
