MEMBERS OF GANG
.k| D NAP PERS HERE

From developments in police cir
cles yesterday, officers of Jersey City,
n. j., are leaving nothing undone to
apprehend several badly-wanted
criminals, thought to have been in
this part of the country. In fact, on
or about August 6 there were arrested
in this city by the county authorities
several fortune tellers, who are said
to have been concerned in the kid
mapping of a six-year-year James
Douglass Glass, of Jersey City. The
people who We're arrested here are
said to have been the mother and sis
ter of the alleged kidnapper, for one
of the suspects has been arrested in
New Orleans, and in statement to
the police he said that his mother
and others had been arrested here on
a charge of telling fortunes without
having paid for and obtained the
necessary license as required by law

SEPTEMBER IA, 1917.
One Hundred and FiftyNinth Day of
America in the War.
rooD-BYE. CO. rGoD BLESS YOU!

Today this town bids it's soldier boys
goodbye.
Here and there mother looks into the
face of her son, and as she looks, her vision
blurs. The khaki-clad strapper she still
calls boy becomes a boy indeed, becomes
the babe she bore with anguish and reared
with that infinite sacrifice whose other
name is motherhood.
Then the mothers vision shifts and she
sees that boy as he is today, only not here
in his home town, but first in training
camp, then on the seas and finally doubtless
On the homeless battlehelds of Europe.
To the deepest of her being runs the
memory of her years of struggle to make
that boy what he is today her nights of
watchfulness, her days of sacrifice. Yet
with scarcely a tear she kisses him good
bye, and with smile he marches away.
What does it all mean-this giving of
tie fruit of years of vigilance to an hour
iraught with danger no vigilance may
thwart? What is the significance of this
apparent waste? What does it mean to be
a member of Americas armies? What does
it mean in America to raise a boy to be
soldier?
Not for gold does the American soldier
risk his all-not for power, personal or
national, but for the rights of men and
women and childhood, for the right of
every human being to life, to freedom, to
the pursuit of happiness.
This is the supreme love of country, that
a man will stake his own life to save his
neighbours. This is the crown America
places on the brow of history's patriotism
that her sons fight not for the right of her
self to grow stronger, but for the right of
the weak to grow strong. for the right of
the world TO be one in the universal might
Of freedom.
Therein is the significance of mother
hoods apparently wasted sacrifice. Therein
is the significance of our soldier boys self
placement.
They march away-the boys. We re-
main. Our part is clear-to stand behind
them in thought and word and deed, to see
To it that wisdom reigns in the counsels that
shall fate their conings and goings, to hold
to their faith that life is service, that sacri-
flee is. in truth, the highest self-interest
and when need comes to follow where they
lead, so that in the end we may claim with
them Joint partnership in the making of
eternal peace.

Use COcOanut Oil
For Washing Hair

If you war. to keep cur hair in
good condition, be careful What lou
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared s'rnr1poos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scal., makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
,irely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One c. two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and salp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust, dirt, danoruff and ex-
cec5ive oil. The hair C~.es Quickly

You can get mulsified cocoanut oil

cheap, and few ounces is enough to
