| Through the efforts of the
Business Mems Club of Okolona
| have been appointed Home
Demonstration for the county.
shall be at the service of the
housewives of Okolona and sur
rounding territory and shall
organize the canning club work
among the girls. 1t will be ex-
pected of every one to call for any
assistance that may be needed
along the lines of canning, cook
Lery, gardening and home i'm
proYement.
1t is regretted very much that
the canning clubs will not be
allowed to use the All brand CT
the regular club label for their
goods. This privilege was not
granted because the work is not
permanent and the State Depart
ment will not be responsible for
labels used under those condi-
tons. However, the govern
ment regulations and instruc-
tons will be used and it is hoped
that the canned stuff may be put
on the market and sold.
The cry of today is to produce
and save every ounce of food
possible. 1t shall be our problem
to use economically what we
need and save the surplus. This
summer we want to work to-
gether and find the best methods
of preserving all kinds of foods.
The staple products are need
ed for the government. There
fore it is our duty to use perish
able foods as much as possible in
our diet and thus set free the
staple foods for the army. By
doing this we perform our
patriotic duty to our nation as
we'll as reduce our own cost of
living

A Simple Way To
Remove Dandruff

There is one sure way that has new
er failed to remove dandruff at once,
and that is to dissolve it, then you de.
stroy it entirely. To do this, just get
about four ounces of plain. common
liquid arvon from any drug store (this
is all you will need. apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, of you.
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy. lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel hundred times better.-Adv.

William O. Wood, President of the
line, thought little training in good
manners might cheer the weary deni-

Samuel F. Serena, Superintendent Of
Traffic, and Martin F. Lynch of the
company's legal department, to give
lectures on how to behave when an
aged woman forgets her purse, or what
to say when man gives you a nickel
and says it was quarter, and kindred
subjects.
The men took the course at the
Woodside car barns between swings,
and as they were paid for the time,
the course was popular.
