LOOK AROUND, MEN!
Are You Able Bodied and Are You
Doing Work a Woman Could Do?

Much of our government war work
is being seriously retarded by lack of
unskilIed labor, while there are still
many able-bodied men employed in
non-essential industries. This is the
report received here by the national
council of defense.
1t is obviously wrong, it is pointed
out, for able bodied men to continue to
sell candy and like articles; to doing
work that might be done by women;
to be attendants in clubs, barber
shops, soft drink Establishments, bowl
ing alleys. dancing academies, and
other similar places when the demand
for war work laborers is so great.
Automobile owners should de-
termine whether the employing of a
chauffeur is necessity or a gratifica-
ton of personal pleasures. Also ex-
penditures for automobile accessories
and supplies should be limited to
necessities and not for pleasure uses,
for all of these things require labor
that might be used for the more es-
sential war program.
Each local labor board is given the
right to list the non-war industries in
it's community which will be called
upon first to contribute men to war
work. These industries will not be
asked to close up or discharge their
men employees at once, but with as
much speed as may be necessary to
meet the national emergency, they will
be required to release men.

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 alkaH.
This dries the scalp. makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary muIsified cocoanut oil (Which
is pure and greaseless). and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
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 it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every MEM
Der of the family for months.-Adv.

THE HOUSEHOLD
Don,ts-To Helm Save Fuel.
Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsE

DOh tS-1O uSIp save uSi.
Not enough is it if you see that in
your kitchen there is no unnecessary
waste of food. You must look to the
fuel conservation. as well. 1t is every
womaIi's duty-no matter how much
outside war work she does or how
competent she may think her servants
to see that these don'ts are put into
practice in her household.
Don't allow any kerosene oil to be
used for cleaning purposes There are
other cleaning agents that will an
swer the purpose and kerosene must
be conserved for fuel
Don't permit the laundress to use
unnecessary heat in boiling clothes.
Extra care in soaking, rubbing and
rinsing will keep them clean with lit
tie boiling.
Don't insist on unnece. sary ironing,
for this merely consumes needless
fuel. All crepe garments are better
when not touched by the iron. Stock
ings are better when dried free from
lint and pulled into condition. Wooden
underwear of all sorts is better when
merely well dried-socks and chill
dreE's things can be dried on wooden
frames. Many persons are insisting
on having sheets merely dried in the
sunshine and pulled into condition and
then folded and Kept in an old-fash-
Toned linen press. They like the feel
ing of them unironed better, and they
know it saves fuel.
Don't burn unnecessary lights and
don't have hall lights and lights in
passages any brighter than is neces-
sary. Get electric bulbs of low power
and use in such places or have the
gas turned down.
If your cooking is done by gas don't
permit gas burners to be left lighted
when nothing is cooking. Matches
are cheap and it is better to relight
the flame often than to- leave the gas
burning when not in use.
Don't fail to have your furnace and
heating system gone over by an ex-
pert before cold weather sets in.
Don't begrudge the expense OF hav-
ing pipes covered with asbestos and
any other necessary repairs needed to
conserve heat.
Don't heat the outdoors. If there
is a room this winter in your house
that seems to take an undue amount
| of steam, make up your mind that
there is some exposure such as a drafty
| window or a current of air in the floor
that permits the cold air to enter.
Have this attended to as soon as you
suspect it.
Don't get used to a high tempera-
ture. English people always find our
| houses insufferable. 1t is only be-
cause we are used to a dollhouse tenn
perature that we can endure it. Don't
| let yourself get used to a high temper
ature and you will not feel the need
| of it.

HOW TO ACQUIRE HAIR BEAUTY

You can enjoy a delightful sham
poo with very little effort and for
very trifling cost, if you get from
your druggists a package of Can
throx and dissolve a teaspoonful in
a cup of hot water. This makes
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. Your shampoo is now ready.
Just pour a little at a time on the
scalp and hair until both are en-
tirely covered by the daintily per-
fumed preparation that thoroughly
dissolves and removes every bit of
dandruff, excess oil and dirt. After
rinsing the hair dries quickly with
a fluffiness that makes it seem
heavier than it is, and takes on a
rich luster and a softness that
makes arranging it a pleasure.-Adv.

ELECT TWO SENATORS
Special Ballots for Voters in Bourbon
and Cherokee Counties.

Two state senators will be elected at
special elections held November s.
the date of the regular election. The
special elections will be held in Bour-
bon and Cherokee counties and voters
will be provided with special sena-
torial ballots when they go to the
polls.
In Bourbon county the election will
be held to choose a successor to the
late Senator Robert B. Barr. The Re-
publicans have nominated A. NJ.
Keene, former speaker of the house,
and the Democrats have placed ]. w.
Davis. former state senator, in the
race.
Cherokee county will select sena-
tor to succeed Charles S. Huffman,
who becomes lieutenant governor next
winter. Huffman is the present state
senator from Cherokee county, hav-
ing held the office sixteen years. He
also is adjutant general and in dodg-
ing a clash in his multiplicity of jobs,
resigns as state senator to accept the
Republican nomination for lieutenant
governor. The nomination, however,
does not affect his office at the head
of the state military forces.

TO ALIEN WOMEN
O. s. Marshal in Topeka Gives Out
Another Warming.

Warning was issued today to alien
enemy women by c. C. Jackson, as
sistent United States marshal, con-
corning the regulations surrounding
the use of permits by the women after
they have registered as alien enemies.
jackson said that stringent instruc-
tons had been laid down by Wash
ington and that it is ordered that these
regulations be enforced.
The warning to alien enemy women
points out that under the terms of the
act of congress, alien enemy women
must register with the United States
marshal. They must carry their regis
tration certificate with them at all
times, If they desire to move their
residence from one point to another
point in the same registration district,
the marshal must be notified of the
change and the registration card pre-
scented for his frank of approval. II
an alien enemy woman wishes to
change her residence from one regis
tration district to another registration
district it is necessary that a permit
be obtained from the marshal before
the moving is done.
The penalty for violation of these in-
structions, is arrest and internment for
the period of the war, Jackson said. :

comes recurrent question which con-
Germs coat suits and blouses
VIII they be worn, or will they not
be worn? Blessed are the women,
perhaps, who do not consider these
questions. They wear a coat suit and
blouse as a matter of course. 1t is
a tradition with them to adopt this
form of apparel. Neither their
thoughts nor their desires stray into
other and more devious paths. 1t is
not an exaggeration to say that there
are certain sets of women in this coun-
try who never change the cut of the
coat, only slightly modify the cut of
the skirt, and have blouses made of
the same materials, on the same pat
terms, decade in and decade out.

fluential families of the state, and is
especially well known thru southern
Kansas.
The Cavaness book contains fifteen
songs, all appropriate for patriotic
meetings or for singing in schools and
churches, or at any place where COM
munity singing is desired. His Song
of the Volunteer" is sung to the tune
of America; Uncle Sam, My Uncle
Sam to the familiar melody of
Maryland, My Maryland" "Colum-
bia Arise adapts itself to the tune of
the old hymn, How Firm a Founda-
tion," and tune to Faith of Our
Fathers may be used for Mr.
Cavaness's song. Home of Our Faith
ers." Hold the Trenches has the
same air as Hold the Fort" and
Keep the Heart Fires Burning can
be sung to the tune of Coming Thru
the Rye" etc.
J. M. Cavaness has written poems
from time to time that have appeared
in newspapers and magazines. He has
issued also two books, "Jayhawker
Juleps," and Rhythmic Studies of the

You Will Never Be Cured by
Local Treatment With Sprays

Catarrh is a condition of the blood
and can not be cured by local appH-
cations of sprays and douches: this

who have vainly resorted to this
method of treatment.
Catarrh should not be neglected

making it more difficult for even the
proper treatment to accomplish re-

like an apron below the hips.
There is one woman who goes to
such an extreme in this matter that
her evening gowns are cut by her
husbands tailor, with narrow skirt
and swallowtail coat; she fills in the
deep decolletage with a low waistcoat
of lace instead of one of white pique.
More Change in Blouses and Suits.
AS the season Iengthens toward
cooler days this question of suits is
paramount. The shops offer them in
every material and shape. The sellers
insist to the buyers that suits will
be more fashionable for street usage
than frocks.
1t is no longer necessary to use cloth
for suit, say the shops Satin, pom
gee, crepe de chine and taffeta will
do as well. There are women who
have decided that these thin suits will
do better than the cloth ones, because
they will serve one in all temperatures,
now that capeS are considered an eS-
sentia1 part of the wardrobe. AS
women have capes of different weights
and warmths, they can suit the cover
ing to the thermometer.
The suits which, by the way, are
exceedingly fashionable are cut on
much the same lines that we once
considered purely American. They
are really British lines. There is the
loose skeleton coat and the narrow
skirt with it's seams down the sides
One can adopt this model and have 1t
in any favrice, if such be the choice.
In blouses there is more change:
Thousands are made, offered and sold
in the traditional shirtwaist style,
but the apron blouse is really, the more
fashionable.
1t Began as n Waistcoat.
The shops are full of shirtwaists
selling from seventy-five dollars down,
hut smart women who lead the way
look with more faver upon the cuirass
blouse, which extends like an apron
over the front of the skirt. 1t was
once a waistcoat, this blouse, without
sleeves and a skeleton back. Now 1t
is a complete blouse, with its own
sleeves and belt, and no embarrass-
ment would ensue if the coat were re-
moved.
The fashion for aprons came about
last spring. They were not really
called aprons, but they were revival
of an old Second Empire fashion. and
it in its turn had been revival from
medieval days.
The, apron of today is not a pro-
lective article-it is purely ornamen-
tai; but it's name and its source make
it desirable 1t consists of a flat piece
across the front, and sometimes 1t has
a bib at the top. You may call it
apron blouse or cuirass, as you wish;
you may have it with a high collar or
a low one, as you desire.
The sketch shows a street costume
worn by an active woman, and every
detail of it is worthy of imitation. 1t
shows the newest of the coat suits,
with an unbuttoned jacket that is
nipped in at the waistline and remains
there of its own accord.
You know, the majority of the coats
are not built to be fastened this sea-
son, therefore buttons have become
superfluous. The apron blouse is of
white wash satin. but it may be copie,
in any material that is serviceab1e. 1t
