More Itching Scalp.

Within ten minutes after an apple

as any-that it has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment--thats
all--you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try a lit

A few wounded American soldiers
are in certain big base hospital

One Of these visitors today was

sammies, with some Of the sick SOL

This is the first mention in direct

were wounded in the German raid,
reported by the war department to-
day to have resulted in the first
actual casualties to American troops.

In this city she saw the terrible
