Believing that any money spent
by the city to provide books and
other literature for the soldiers
at Camp Lewis will be a profitable
investment, the Contra. Labor
council Wednesday night went on
record as approving the city Ii
brary's budget for 1918. The
library~is asking $4,000 for the
coming year. 1t was allowed
$4,000 for 1917.
Members of the educational
committee of the labor council
were instructed to appear before
the city council and urge that the
appropriation be granted.
A report was received by the
Central Labor council from the
Building Trades council, saying
that scale of "a per day for
building laborers would be asked
beginning Oct. l.
President e. P. Marsh of the
State Federation of Labor, who
had come to Tacoma to inspect

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in
just noticing whether the hair is
well kept to judge of a woman's
neatness, OF good taste. If you are
one of the few who try to make
the most of your hair, remember
that x is not advisable to wash
the hair with any cleanser made
for all purposes. but always use
some good preparation made ex-
pressly for shampooing. You can
enjoy the very best by getting
some canthrox from your drug
gist, dissolve a teaspoonful in a
cup Of hot water. THIS makes a
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. DanSruff, excess
oil, and dirt are dissolved and en-
tirely disappear. Your hair will
be SO fluffy that It will look much
heavier than ii is. Its lustre and
softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair
growth.

DRAFTED MEN
PRAISED BY
GEN. GREENE

''The spirit of the men of the
new national army is wonderful"
declared Maj. Gen. H. A. Greene
at a banquet given by the Loyal
Legion to him and his staff at
the Tacoma hotel Wednesday
evening.
There never was finer material
out of which to make an army.
Many of the men when they ar
rive at camp are offered white
collar jobs, because of some
previous training, and refuse,
saying, We have come here to be-
come soldiers. We don't want
clerks work.

Gen. Greene's staff, Foltz, Burr
and Styer, Joined in praise of the
selected men.

WASHING WON'T RID
HEAD OF DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get rid of
dandrnff is to dissolve it, then
you destroy It entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of or
binary liquid arvon; apply 1t at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morn
ing, most II not all, of your dan
druff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
of it, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop at once, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel a hun
dred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. II is inexpensive
and never fails to do the work.

CALLING
MEN FOR
Sd QUOTA

Immediately after sending their
second quota of drafted men to
Camp Lewis Wednesday, local ex-
emption boards began summoning

tions for the third quota. About

leaving for the camp at 10 o'clock
Oct. 3.
Exemption board No. has
summoned 35 men for examina-
tion next Wednesday. This will
make a complete call OF 800 men,
from which the total quota of the
board, So, will be obtained.
Other boards were preparing
Thursday to send out notices to
the next group of men on the
draft lists.
James Thompson, chairman OF
county exemption board No. l, Is
cheerful Thursday over the show
ing made by the third call. Thirty
men were called. Twenty-Five
had been examined at noon, and
II was believed that out OF these
at least s or 10 would be certi-
fled.
Andeo Sepravitch of Gig Har-
Dor, who refused to be examined
on the first call, appeared Thurs
day morning and was found ply
sically disqualified. Sepravitch's
attitude in the first place was the
result of misunderstanding.
Thompson said.
Seth M. Wistrom, a Swede, said
he will not claim exemption on the
ground of his alienship If his
mother can possibly arrange to
get along without his support.
