ZINE THING TO DO.

n oRTY-ONE employees in the electrical department
of the Harlan and Hollingsworth Corporation joined
in contributing 10 the "Our Boys in France Tobacco
Fund" yesterday -Four OF them gave fifty cents each
and hiryseven OF them gave twenty-five cents each.
In other words their total contribution Of s1125 will
purchase fortydve cartons Of tobacco supply

Hers in Europe
It was fine thing for those employees of the eiee-
rical department do The officials and employees in
the other departments OF that ane other corporations
should be inspired by such action TO give and give lib
orally to the fund.

Of human life are not to be charged
against war.
1t is a sinister commentary upon
present civilization that preparation
for war is necessary to induce men
and communities to take proper care
OF their physical existence. William
James once argued that permanent
peace was unlikely until nations
should find a moral equivalent for
war. Similarly one might contend
for the necessity Of a hygienic equiv.
alent for W.T.. Pacifsts might do
more for a righteous peace IL in the
place Of their present i'll advised and
futile obstructionisb tactics they
would recognize some OF the physica!
and moral advantages of what they
call "militarism," and advocate their
adoption in civil life.

II you want TO keep your hair In good

Most soaps and prepared shhmpOOs con-
tain too much alkali. This dries the scalp.
makes the hair brittle. and is very harmful.
Just plain mulsihed eOeoanut oil (which is
pure and entirely Ereaseless) is much better
than tho most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shsmpooins. 81 this

From the New York Tribune.

a recently published record of the
naval training station located near
Chicago, where ten thousand men are
in attendance, there has been an
average gain In weight Of fifteen
pounds for each member OF the camp.
Modern sanitation, regular habits,
outdoor exercise and removal from
the temptations and had surround.

their effect.
This Is in striking contrast with
the hygienic conditions Of army life

THE THING THAT COUNTS BIC

7 I is estimated that between 1000 and 10000 per-
attended the religious services held at Bran
DIVINE Summit Camp Sunday. In any event it
was concededy the largest attendance years
The continued and increasing popularity OF this
campmeetng is due primarily to one important fact.
That is, that it is well-managed that the hoodlum
element never is given opportunity itself
Other factors contribute to its popularity, OF course,
but the wholesome atmosphere which all times sur
rounds this INSTRUMENTATION centre is the big thing
that really counts in the mind Of the public.
We felicitate the management upon keeping the
camp upon the high plane originally set for it by its
founders
