ELECT PROTECTIONIsT ONLY

Aspiring candidates for Congress at the next election should be thoroughly sounded on how they stand on the issue of Protective Tariff as soon as their aspirations are made known. If they don't stand unchangeable for a Protective Tariff, they should be defeated in the Primary. The next Congress should be Protective Tariff Congress.-Perryville (Mo.) New Re- publican Era.

ONE MORE CHANCE TO ENLIST

The selective draft drawing has been completed and the list of num- bers drawn at Washington will be in the hands of the local boards some time this week. It will probably be a week before the men will be sum- moned to report to the local boards, and in the meantime the men will be given an opportunity to enlist in the army. This opportunity will last, however, only until the summons from the local board comes.
 Enlisting before being called before the local boards gives the recruit a choice in the matter of the service he desires to enter. Recruits secured by the draft will probably be sent to all parts of the country to fill up the various units and it is likely that they will not be consulted with regard to their likes and dislikes.
 If you have been drawn for the selective draft, enlist today and choose the branch of the service you desire If you have not been drawn enlist any way-the country needs you.

He had soft, daft look, the old man sitting on the park bench in the sun, with rod and line, as if he were fishing; but the line, with a worm on the hook, dangled over bed of bright primroses.
 Daft" said passer-by to himself. "Daft, Bughouse, Nice looking old fellow, too. It's pity"
 Then, with a gentle smile, the pas ser-by approached the old man and said:
 What are you doing uncle?
 Fishing, sir" answered the old man, solemnly.
 Fishing, eh? We'll, uncle, come and have a drink"
 The old man shouldered his rod and followed the kindly stranger to the corner saloon. There he regaled him.

THEY HAD EYES

The Daily Courier, of Newcastle Indiana, calls attention to the receipt by a local grocery of shipment of potatoes from Australia, of the Irish Cobbler variety, which are sold at the American price. These potatoes had eyes with which they saw the Free Trade hole in the Wilson-Underwood picket-fence Tariff, and they came all the way across the Pacific Ocean to get into the American market, war or no war.-Doylestown (Pa.)

1t will take rigidy economy-nothing of the fancied sort. But real economy does not mean that anyone should go hungry or deprive themselves of the necessities of life. It means STOP THE WASTE. Americans are noted for wastefulness, will it not be. a more sweeping victory to win the war and become noted for economy in cases of necessity?
 There is no law, and we want none, that regulates the operating of the household in foodstuffs or in clothing. All the recommendations of the Con- mercial Economy Board will be made through patriotic appeal and every American who does not heed their demands is not worthy of the name.

 "So you were fishing, uncle? And how many have you caught this morn- ing?"
 The old man blew a smoke cloud toward the ceiling. Then, after a pause, he said:

SINN fem SWEEP
RUINS HOPES OF
REDMOND PARTY

LONDON. July 1s.-Since the Fast
Clare election the lobby of the House
Of Commons has throbbed with rumors
about the position and intentions of
the Nationalist party leaders. These
have been intensified by the prospect
Of another Sim Fem victory in the
coming Kilkenny election and the
presence of John Redmond in London
for the last two days.
Mr.. Redmond was not seen IN his
place in the House OF Commons. but
he talked with political associates and
returned to Ireland Immediately. 1t
can be stated that Mr.. Redmond has
at present no intention Of resigning
his leadership of the Nationalist
party or Of advising his colleagues to
resign their seats in order to obtain
a verdict from Ireland for or against
Sim Fem.
The Nationalists will take no deci-
sive steps until the results Of the
Irish convention and the Nationalist
mission to the United States, headed
by T. P. OConnor. are known. At
the same time no Nationalist member
of Parliament denies the extreme
gravity OF the position, and the more
thoughtful look upon their party as
in ruins and have no heart to fore
cast the outcome.
It is understood that the National
list leaders privately admit that the
party could not win ten seats IL a
general election were held in Ireland
At the present time.

THREE PELLAGRA
CASES. REPORTED
To D. c. OFFICIALS

Three cases OF pellagra have been
reported to the Health Department
IN the last three days. Two of the
patients are at the Washington Asy.
Ium Hospital and one is at the Wal
ter Reed Hospital.
For the last two years the Health
Department has had on its records
from fifteen to sixteen cases OF pei
lagra- Recently investigation was
made to ascertain the number of
patients still suffering from the dis
ease. Eleven recoveries were re-
ported, resulting in the announce
ment in the report of the department
for the week ended July II, that there
were six cases under treatment. The
three cases reported since that date
increase the number to nine.
Opinion among medical men as to
the cause Of pellagra is divided, one
set claiming that IT is due to improper
sanitation and the other TO a lack OF
proteins in diet. The latter theory
Is the one generally accepted.
The number OF cases OF other dis
eases on record in the District is as
follows: Chickenpox, %; diphtheria,
@; measles, us; meningitis, 2; scarlet
fever, %; tuberculosis, 1884: typhoid
fever. Is, and whooping-couch, 231.

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully
II you want to keep your hair looking
its best Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and ruins IT.
The best thing for steady use Is
Just ordinary mulsiied cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water and
rub It in. 1t makes an abundance of
rich creamy lather, which rinses
out easily, removing every particle OF
dust, dirt, dandruff, and excessive oil.
The hair dries quickly and evenly, and
II leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky, bright, lustrous. fluffy,
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der OF the family for months.-Advt.
