Today's Aid To Beauty

Hair Is by far the most conspicu-
Gus Thing about us and Is probably
the most easily damaged by bad or
careless treatment. II we are very
careful in hair washing, we will have
virtually no hair troubles. An es-
pecialiy fine shampoo for this weather,
one that brings out all the natural
beauty OF the hair. that dissolvas and
entirely removes all dandruff. excess
oil and dirt. can easily be used at
trif'ng exense by simply dissolving a
teaspoonful of canthrox (Which you
can get al any druggist's) in a cup OF
hot water. This makes full cup OF
shampoo liquid, enough so It is easy to
apply it to all the hair instead of Just
the top OF the head. This chemically
dissoves all impurities and creates a
soothing, cooling lather. Rinsing
teaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft

the glossy richness OF natural color,

seem much heavier than It Is. After

THE GUEST OF NIGHT.

Sorrow is faithful to seek her
friends,
And comes to me from the far worlds
ends;
Stands at the door in the storm-dark
Night
When the frightened stars are all in
flight;
With ever a place in the fireside
glow,
Shadow Of shadows from Long Ago!
With dream Of a song of the days
at rest,
Sweet with the sorrow the heart loves
best.
A song-a hymn of the days gone by
With never dream of the storm
swept sky;
And the place seems peopled with
forms of old;
Hands that were sweet to kiss and
hold
Close to the heart, reach out to
bless
With Loves caress-with Loves
caress!
And / say, as she chants the spirit
throng:
"It is the sorrow that sweetens the
song"
For Sorrow knows Of the Love that
lies
With the Light of God on its dream
ing eyes,
That when only the Angels of God
may see
It wings its way through dream to
me.
Nor Night, nor Storm, nor Stars
above
Can stay Loves hands from the
clasp Of Love.
Love, blessed of Sorrow, and sane
BY the cross where it lived and the
cross where it died.

LEAGUE FOR WOMAN'S SERVICE.

In statement from New York
headuarters concerning the league for
women's service, the following state
ment concerning plans for industrial
service are made:
Because Of the prosperous times,
and the resulting continuous employ
ment at high wages of the male mem
bers of the families, many women
whose industrial experience lends
great value to their services, are not
answering the urgent advertisement
of employers for help. This is from
no lack of patriotism. Advertisements
from employers are not associated
with calls for service to the country,
and home demands and personal ~
clinations are controlling factors If
economics pressure does not reinforce
the employers call for help.
When these women once knew that
the country needs their training and
experience in the factories and that
other women without this training
and experience are willing and anx-
ious "to do their bit" by supplying
the home demands created by the
mobilization of wage-earning women,
there will be no shortage of women
labor in the factories and mills en-
gagged on government work for the
nations defense.
Furthermore, when a district does
not seem to contain necessary sup
ply of trained women labor to meet

the demands Of plants engaged on
government work, the bureau of reg
istration and information, through it's
supporting organizations will assist
the department of labor in making up
the deficit by modifying woman labor
in nearby districts. 1t will also,
through the supporting organizations,
provide for the housing care and pro-
lection of women thus called away
from their home environment.
Finally the bureau of registration
and information will confer with the
department of labor as to the condf-
tons of labor which will secure the
highest possible physical efficiency
of the wage-earning women engaged
in industries supplying emergency de-
mands.
This phase of the bureaus work is
undertaken and formation will con-
fer with the department of labor as
to the conditions OF labor which will
secure the highest possible physical
efficiency of the wage-earning WON

quences attended the failure to pro-

PATRIOTISM AND
BABIES

PATRIOTISM AND
BABIES.
How the strength of the nation is
being impaired by the conditions
which make babies sicken and die and
what some two thousand communi-
ties have done to awaken interest in
the conservation of the youngest cit
liens, are briefly reviewed in a new
bulletin on Baby-Week Campaigns
which has just been issued by the
Children's Bureau of the U. S. de-
partment of labor.
Approximately one in ten of all the
babies born in the United States dies
before completing twelve months of
life, and the children's bureau says
at was once thought that a high
infant death rate indicated a greater
degree of vigor in the survivors.
Now it is agreed that the conditions
which destroy so many of the young
est lives of the community must also
result in gripping and manning many
others and must react unfavorably
upon the health of the entire COM
munity."
Two thousand one hundred COM
/ munities have reported to the chill
dren's bureau the details of a Baby
Day or Baby Week by which they
called attention to the need of pro-
tecting their babies. Ingenious de-
vices for exhibits, new methods of
distributing pamphlets on baby care
ways in which information on local
conditions were secured and publish
ed, and other interesting features
from these local reports are describ-
ed in the bulletin as suggestive COZ
those who are planning a similar
campaign.
The bureau says: "Not all of the
2,1O0 communities reporting a Baby
Week Campaign in 1916 may find il
wise to repeat the celebration in
1917; but the United States includes
14,186 incorporated cities, towns, and
villages, and it is doubtful if among
the thousands which have never hac
