 Your Monthly Pay

These expenses are very slight. Clothing, food and trans portation are provided by the Coy e-nment. In addition, the private soldier receives $3O per month Whilt he is in the United states and $SS per month whila he is abroad.

The Loose Live Stock

Several people, all home owners
and people trying to grow gar
dens, have complained to The
News the past week and asked if
we could do something that would
help to get a stop put to the nui-
sance of permitting cattle, horses
and chickens to roam about,
trampling down lawns and vege-
tables. The News is sorry that it
can do nothing of itself further
than to join in the general pro-
test.
But we may add that relief is
in sight. At the last meeting of
the city council a resolution to
the effect that the ordinances
controlling live stock should here
after be rigidly enforced, was
passed.
Of course, in some instances in
the remote past it has seemed
that our city dads never got much
further than talk. But now we
have Mayor Wright's positive
word for it that he Is going to see
that the ordinances are enforced,
and that he viii join heartily in
any movement that is necessary
for the good of the city. Surely
he will not let selfish people turn
out their stock to ruin other peo-
pies gardens, particularly at a
time when all are trying so hard
to respond to the call for greater
production of foodstuffs. Topper
nit such a nuisance this year
would be worse than indifference.
It would be unpatriotic.
The mayors prerogative is to
dictate the policy Of the police
force, and when he gives the Off
GERS orders to impOund all live
stock running at large, we viii
trust the officers to do their duty.

Democratic Consistency

In throwing our lot with the
Allies we have stated and re-
stated that the interest Of an
outraged humanity has forced us
to unsheathe our sword. We
have pointed out that a mon
strOcity, which belonged to the
dark ages, is threatening to
destroy individual freedom,
establish its deplorable tyranny,
and force the world to submit
itself to the falacy of the divine
rights of kings and classes.
To heal the wounds of a
mangled humanity, to defend
the rights Of our fellow men, who
own their allegiance to other
flags, and to preserve the bless
ings of a Republican form Of
government, we have faced the
eventualities that time has
brought. We mean to measure
up to the problem before US, we
mean to demonstrate to the
world the potency of democracy,
and by our own sacrifice, we
hope to see the great beginning
of the end to all the movements
that enslave men, morally, ply
sically and intellectually.
Thus far we are in harmony
with the Declaration Of Indepen-
dence and our consistency cannot
be challenged.
All is. well, however, as far as
words are concerned. But what
of our acts?
What of our behavior toward
our fellow men in these present
day crises?
Are we doing our part to safe
guard the interest of the low wage
Garner?
As lovers of America and every
thing American, what are we
doing to alleviate the suffering Of
the great mass amongst US?
What are we doing to over
throw charlatanism that is run
ming rampant behind the veil Of
democracy?
What are we doing to insure
legitimate chances for the man
who is struggling on the margin,
to carry his family to a safer
haven while this gale of war and
high prices prevails?
Why this hysterical propaganda
to intimidate people to produce
and conserve food, while allowing
the spectators to corner the
food market and work havoc to
the needy?
Let US carry on this war for
democracy at home as well as
abroad. Let us defend the rights
Of our fellow men in these United
Etutes Of America: Let us see to
j fhat the common people are

Beyond. Mrs. Blanche Gaines
absence will long be felt by those
who knew her, and she was pre-
pared to bid farewell to earth,
So, recalling the words of the
Master to Mary, after the re-
awakening Of Lazarus:
Il am the resurrection and
the life. Whosoever liveth and
believeth in me, though he were
dead, yet shall he live" the ones
left behind take renewed CON-
fort and solace.
Such is the blessed promise OF
Him who suffered and died on
the Cross that we all might live
again and come unto the Father
through Him. The bereaved
family and friends can recall this
wonderfully comforting thought
and so live that the broken
family circle may be early re-
united in that time when all that
are in their graves shall hear
His voice and come forth to walk
in newness of life and live with
the Divine Father forever.
Blessed are the dead who die
in Christ henceforth," declares
the Apostle, and we have the
beautiful example of the deceased
passing away in the belief that
the Savior would renew her life
in His own appointed time. The
lesson of her brief visit here is
that of humility and devotion to
those whose lives were entwined
in her heart. So it is, the writer,
knowing her for fourteen years,
concludes. Speech cannot con-
vey our love and affection; it is
but a feeble attempt to utter the
feeling of the soul for a soul that
is gone out of our lives. But,
while she sleeps now till that
glorious Resurrection Morn,
wherever and whenever we who
knew her best meet, it will be to
recall the sweet memory Of a
good woman-God's best gift to
a sinful worldwide passed to
silence and pathetic dust" while

N the nrst place, the excess oil
which is being poured out on
the scalp is from enlarged Sc
baceous glands. Naturally,
the nrst thing to do is to remove the
cause. This can be done by applying
an astringent tonic to the scalp, and
II ID advisable to put the tonic in an
oil can. such as is used for oiling the
sewing machine, SO that there will be
mo waste Of the tonic and SO that the
tonic will fall directly on the scalp. A
splendid tonic for the purpose is made
of twenty grains of carbonate of am
monis, / dram of tincture Of canthar-
fdes. half ounce of alcohol and suffi-
cent quantity of bay rum to make

the hair vigorously. You will be sur

dust that will come off on the cotton.
4 The woman who is embarrassed by
having very oily hair needs to sham
poo 1t very frequently. Now some
women have found that too frequent
shampoos cause the superfuous
amount of oil and that it is better to
lessen the number. But this does not
do away with the offensive odor that
accompanies the oily head. The best
thing to do, then, is to give the hair a
