SUSPICIOUS BARN FIRE

Seven and one half miles northwest
Of Hannah and just across the bound
airy line in Manitoba, near the town
of Cartwright, a farmer by the name
of Gordon Falls, lost a new frame
barn, nine head of horses, four cows
and calves, also twenty-five tons of
hay in a mysterious fire that was dis.
covered about midnight on Tuesday of
last week. The bursting into flames
of the building was preceded by an
explosion which awakened Mr.. Fallis
and his family. He reached the build
ing in time to find flames shooting
out from all points of the barn.
Everything points to it having beer
set on fire.

To Get Thin

A note should be made of the follow.
ing "don'ts" by those DESTROYS of health
and a slender form: Don't overeat.
Don't eat unless you are hungry.
Don't drink any liquid with your
meals. Don't drink stimulants at any
time. Don't eat bread unless it is
toasted, and then only in moderation.
Don't ride, but walk as much as pos
sible. Walking is the most beneficial
of all forms of exercise. 1t Keeps one
In the open air and If o~ne-taises a brisk
walk brings all the muscles into play.

National Headdresses.

There is no such thing as a national
headdress in America. Even the mil
lions of immigrants and descendants
Of immigrants from countries possess
ing a characteristic headgear prompt
ly discard any such distinguishing
mark during their first week in the
new world. Perhaps the fact that the
English dominated our early history
may account for our lack Of peculiar
headgear, for England is the only
country in Europe which has not a
distinctive national headdress.

GREAT PRECAUTIONS ARE
TAKEN TO PROTECT MEN
THAT CROSS TO FRANCE
BY BASIL NJ. MANLY

WASHINGTON. ID. C.. Nov. a.
Despite the kalser's lurking U-boats.
American troops are crossing the At
lantic IN Unprecedented numbers
with remarkably few casualties
The fact that only one troopship
has been sunk. although there have
been transports on the ocean every
day since mid-June serves TO bring
the governments precautions into
bold relief
For four months German U-hoats
never ceased their efforts TO sink an
American transport. although the
July announcement of the attack
on conveyed fleet was the only one
made public This is by no means
the only attack that has taken place.
There Is every reason 10 believe L.
boats have been taken from the Brit
ish sealanes to patrol the French
james, over which American trans
ports steam. This may account for
the falling off ia sinkngs OF British
merchant ships
Although the L $ transport An
TILES sank IN five minutes. 1867 OF the
2S1 on board were saved. and there
Is reason 10 believe large number
or those who died were killed by the
explosion and not by drowning. II in
peace times n liner had sunk in five
minutes hardly person would have
been saved
WIN these precautions are cannot
be told 10 too great detail. but the
main reliances are life-saying Jackets.

To avoid every possibility Of dis

Save YOUR HAIR
and BEAUTIFY IT
WITH "DANDERINE"
Spend a few cents! Dandruff dis.

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it i'm
.medately dissolves every particle Of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruff.
IIThis destructive scurf robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its
very life and il not overcome 10
produces a feverishness and itching
of the scalp; the hair roots famish'
loosen and die; then the hair falls
out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded. dry. scraggy or too
oily. get a small bottle OF Kndwlton's
Danderine at any drug store or toilet
counter for a few cents; apply little
as directed. and ten minutes after
you will say this was the best invest
ment you ever made.
We sincerely believe. regardless OF
everything else advertised, that il
you desire soft. lustrious. beautiful
hair and lots of it-nO dandruff-n0

hair--you must use KnOwltOn's Dam

as her people. has appealed to the Uni
ted States for emergency relief.
Coal and particularly coal
are absolutely necessary IL her i'm
portant military gains against Austria
arc not TO be hampered or stopped. The
Importance Of maintaining the Italian
offensive IS such that the H.. S. food and
fuel administrations and the shipping
board are cooperating TO rush sup
plies.
lialy's coal situation is worse than
that OF either France or England, as
no coal is produced within her terri
tory The demands on England for coal
for her own war Industries, for the
joint navios OF England France and the
United States operating IN the war
zone, for shipping 20 English and
French ports, and for French war in
dustries, exhaust her production. Also
there are no English vessels to trans
port coal 20 Italy.
The result Is Italy today is virtually
without coal. She has been forced to
close several large gun shops and Is
now getting guns from England in
stead Of making them.
No coal will be used IN Italy This
winter for private consumption. There
VIII be no furnaces lighted In hotels
or homes. Last winter one Florence
hotel was heated entirely by pine
cones from neighborng forests This
winter wood pine cones and other
makeshifi fuels must furnish the heat
for italian homes.

Although flats multiply rapidly IN
every large city. the small house per-
slsls as the true type OF the American
home. Whoever Is blessed with a col
lar should try to NJ some corner Of
II for the patriotic service Of storing
the fall root crop
The foreslghted housewife viii prob.
ably put IN as many bushels Of nota-
toes as she thinks VIII keep without
snrouilne. besides boets. turnips. car

The house cellar. however, is likely
TO be too dry or too warm. It IS there
fore advisable to board off corner Of
the cellar with a double partition, the
walls Of which arc fllled with some
non-conduclor OF heat. This storage
vault should be well ventilated. either
by nues or by vents al the floor and
ceiling
The United States department OF
agriculture provides these suggestions
for storing root vegetables:
Potatoes are kept without difficulty
In a cool. dry and dark place sprouts
should not be allowed to grow in the
spring.
"Swect potatoes may be kept untn
January If cleaned dried and packed
in chaff so that they will not touch
each other.
Carrots, iurnips parsnips and heets
remain plump and fresh II placed in
earth or sand fllled boxes on the cellar
floor. Remove The tops before burying
these vegetables"
Cabbage, although a green vegetable,
Is the most conspicuous rival Of root
