Be Careful in Using

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali, which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing to use Is just plain null

entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and

Sea Watchdog Saves Fleet.

A British fleet in the harbor Of
Scapafow was saved from attack by
German submersible the day before
the armistice was signed by a device
which has gained for its inventor,
Lieutenant Burney, a gift of $15O,00O.
and the decoration Of x. G..
The submarine, which was being
operated by a party Of German Off
GERS, attempted feat that never be-
fore had been tried in the war. Car
rying II torpedoes, it approached the
entrance Of the harbor, where it was
detected When it came up to the sur
face an electric button was pressed
and it was blown to pieces. Lieuten-
ant Burney's device enabled the Brit
ish warships to enjoy almost complete
immunity in the last three years from
German mines and submarines, saving
the lives Of hundreds Of sailors and
preventing the loss Of a large number
of warships.
The device is known officially as a
paravane and consists Of q waterplane
shaped like a torpedo, with a pair Of
large fiat fins projecting on either side
of the body. It's tail is fitted with
rudders to keep it at any depth desired
while operating.

The three bridgeheads to be occupied
under the terms of the armistice now
are in the hands Of the allies.
French troops entered Mainz on
Tuesday. Previously the Americans
had arrived at Coblenz and the Brit

which appears to emanate from an
authentic source, the allies are pre-

Good Roads First.

Only one constitutional amendment,
says E. J. Jones of Morris, former
state senator, should be submitted to
the people Of Minnesota at the next
election, and that should be one per-
hitting the state, through the legis-
lature, to do its share financially in
constructing a system Of hard roads
throughout the state.
Mr.. Jones also favors levying tax
of at least $40 a year on each auto
mobile for the benefit of the good
roads fund.
"The people Of the prairies Of
western Minnesota are strong for a
comprehensive good roads system,
though they realize that the hard sur
faced state roads may not come to
them as soon as they will to the tim
bered regions in the eastern part Of
the state, he says,
"We feel sure that if the legislature
makes start in this direction the
work will be continued and the hard
roads will reach us eventually.
.tIf I had my way the Legislature
would submit but one constitute nal
amendment to the people at the next
election, and that would be good
roads amendment. Itwould be adopt

The soldier who has had no farm train
ing would receive specified practical
education at the agricultural college
of the state in which he chose to live.
The land bank would make the usual
loan, for the usual term Of thirrtt four
and half years, while the federal
treasury would advance the remaining,
money required for purchase and
equipment, taking second mortgage
therefor without interest. When by
the regular process Of amortization the
first mortgage was paid out, the land
bank would take over the federal
treasury loan as first mortgage, and
the soldier farmer would have received
as gratuity only the interest on the
money advanced by the treasury, and
the treasury would have had fair Sc.

Of the loan.

Anton Finbogsen Dies in France.

Anton Finbogsen Dies in France.
Anton Finbogsen Of Glendorado,
who was with the American Expedi-
tionary forces in France, died from
disease on October II, according to in
formation received by his parents last
week. He was "a years of age and is
survived by his father, mother, two
sisters and brother. Before joining
the colors he was secretary of the
Glendorado creamery and member Of
the Glendorado band. To his efforts
were largelydue the organization Of
this excellent musical organization.
Anton was a fine example Of young
manhood and held the respect Of ev-
cry one in the community.
The fact that the parents of this
soldier boy we're not appraised Of his
death until last week shows clearly
that there is something decidedly
wrong in the system Of notification.
His parents sent him many letters and
packages, but there was no reply, and
they we're naturally worried at re-
ceiving not a word from him. Then,
at last, came the word nearly two
months after he had passed away
that he had died from disease.

An Appalling Death Toll

The American people stand aghast5
at the announcement that in but lit,
tie more than two months time the
appalling toll Of $50 900 lives has been
taken by the epidemic Of influenza and
it's complications. One Of the chief
elements Of the horror Of war is its.
dreadful cost in human life, but the
fatalities of this greatest Of wars in
flicted upon America shrink into lin
significance by comparison with the
CHASTITY work Of this disease. Approx
mately 10000 Americans gave their
lives to the cause Of freedom and Of
these large percentage yielded to the.
prevailing epidemic; but statistics al
ready available indicate that Of civil
ians alone 100000 were. swept away
by the influenza and the pneumonia
which was its legacy. When the NOR
tally statistics Of the world are COM
piled, if ever, the revelations Of the to-
tai ravages Of this disease will be
staggering.
Prophylactic science has made vast
strides in the past few years. The
progress Of the knowledge of bacteri-
ology has been marvellous. Sanitation
and hygiene have raised great barriers
against the advance Of contagion and
infection. Yet with these forces -6f
enlightenment in full play for defense,
disease breaks in and in brief time
does ten times the destruction Of war.
1t is little short of terrifying.
/ It is not difficult to appreciate the
deadly sweep Of plague and pestilence
in the earlier day when preventive
science had not spread it's blessings
on the human pathway; but it is posi-
lively appalling to realize that in this
|age Of advanced hygienic and prophy-
Tactic methods we stand so relatively
helpless before the attack Of the
destroyer. st. Paul Dispatch.

the fee to become member of the
American Red Cross do so on Christ
mas roll call week Show our SOL
der and sailor boys both overseas and
in this country that the real American
spirit has not waned merely because
the war is ended.
A special problem which the Red
Cross is now confronted with is to see
that men disabled in the service who
are now returning are properly cared
for while recuperating in the hospitals
md at their homes. This is in itself
stupendous undertaking. Then
ere are the boys in the reconstruct
tion camps to be looked after. It is
unnecessary to detail the work of the
: american Red Cross INF Europe and
this country. Every one is more or
less familiar with what has and is be-
ing accomplished, and knows full well
that in the great readjustment process
the Red Gross will be as necessary as
during. the conflict of nations.
So we again impress upon you the
necessity of contributing your share
to the Red Cross fund when the So
licitor calls. And remember that this
money goes to care for the soldier
boys-the boys who have been fight
ing your battles on the blood-soaked
fields of France while you remained
at home in comfort.

The Hated Woman of Japan.

Yone Suzuki, the Kobe woman mil
lionaire, the most successful business
woman in Japan, is at the present mo-
ment one of the best hated persons in
the country. Hated not because Of her
unusual business capacity, but for the
large speculations Of her company
in rice, the staff Of life in Japan, which
has so risen in price as to be prohib-
tive to the poor and middle classes.
The war profits Of the Suzuki company
are estimated at $1O,OOO,OOO.
Fifteen years ago Yone Suzuki was
an unassuming widow with a shrewd
business sense who sat all day, Japan
csc fashion, on the mats, squatting be-
fore diminutive desk, industriously
figuring her losses and gains on the
soroban, or abacus. Today, the Suzuki
Shoten commands all sorts of enter
prises steel works, camphor refining,
rice importing, shipbuilding.
This unheard Of development by a
woman was watched with sullen NUT
terings by the great mass of the peo-
pie, who not only did not enjoy any Of
the blessings Of war profits but also
continued to bear the burden caused
by the soaring cost Of the necessities
of life. !,
Then the storm broke; excited men
and women surrounded the palatial
offices of the Suzuki Shoten in Kobe,
deliberately but very thoroughly burn
ing it down. Yone Suzuki fled that
night to Shizuoka, the great tea
center, but here the rice rioters were
Ealso most active, and when her identity
was discovered the incensed people
threatened to rise against her. She
photographed to Toxic for rooms at an
inn, but no hosiery would take her,
fearing destruction. In vain did she
send 100000 to the home minister
