Indians Secret Of Hair Growth

In q vast number Of cases, when hair
falls out. the roots are not dead, but remain
imbedded in the scalp, alive, like seeds or
bulbs, needing only fertility. The usual
alkaline shampoos, alcoholized hair tonics,
etc, are of no avail in such cases. The
Indians ointment nourishes the hair and
stimulates the growth.
Kotalko fertilizes the scalp and induces
derful results reported. For mems, aVonsen's
and children's hair. If you are bald, or
losing hair, or have dandruff, you should
Try Kotalko. It is pleasure to observe
the starting Of new hair and its steady
increase until 9 prolific growth supersedes
thin hair or badness. Cut out this notice !;
show to others who want beautiful hair.
The recipe is free. This IS genuine.

STAMP MONEY USED
TO KEEP SOLDIERS WELL
Casualty Lists Show More Deaths
From Disease Than All Other
Causes-More Money Needed To
Keep Soldiers Well and Fit.


Winston-Salem, May 17-It is now
known that the money turned into the
Treasury from the sale of War Saw
lngs stamps is used in keeping the
soldiers well and in good fighting or
der, as we'll as in building ships and
sending munitions. War Savings
workers have recently come to know
that they have been supporting the
cause of good health for the soldiers.
The following figures have been given
out: One SIS War Savings stamp will
buy one-fifth of mile of bandages-
enough for IS wounds-or will pur-
chase gauze and plaster for 100 SOL
| diers. One SIS stamp will render pain
| less 40 operations, will assure safety
| from lockjaw to IA wounded soldiers,
will furnish first-aid packets to care
for 16 injuries or adhesive plaster and
surgical gauZe sufficient to benefit
hundreds of wounded soldiers.
The work of keeping the soldier at
the front well is of supreme import
ance. The casualty lists of the Amer
/ lean soldiers in France show that more
deaths among the soldiers have oc
Cured from disease than from wounds
received in battle, from accidents OF
all kinds, and from all other causes
combined. And yet there is less sick
ness in the American army than any
army has ever known. More ply.
j sicians, nurses and sanatarians have
been employed to safeguard the sol
dier's health, more money has beer
spent or eradicating infectious dis
eases and protecting the fighting me1
!, from disability of any kind, in fact
everything that money and men car
: do is being done.
;, To keep up this program calls fo
a continuous stream of money if dis
ease is kept at the minimum and tn,

r treatment that will keep them il

: workers will see that the boys shal
i not lack anything to keep them eff

Trying to Make Russia German

Trying to Make Russia a German
Province.
Details Of the latest German de-

State Department at Washington
Tuesday from Swedish sources, show
that Russia has been asked to make

dissolve all recently formed military
units. Declarations that Germany
not content with economic domina zion
of Russia, is seeking military occu-

Proper Food For Weak Stomachs.
The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every one
should adopt a diet suited to his age

weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and

also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become

THE LABOR PROPO-
SITION IN AROOS-
TOOK COUNTY

Houlton, Me, Aug. 9.--In riding
about the country one can see very
easily that there is something radi-
cally the matter with the county, for
on many farms there is still cOnsid =
cradle hay standing. some Of which
shows very plainly the hayinG season
has passed and that all hay standing
is losing in quality each day. On in
quiring it is said the cause Of the hay
being still uncut is lack of help on
the Aroostook farms. \ large mum
ber of the Aroostook boys have been
called into service and as a result it
is surprising to see what an impor-
tant part they PLAYED in their home
county in caring for the work on the
farms. The scarcity of help will be
most seriously felt during harvesting
and potato digging and it is predicted
unless something unforeseen happens
many of the tubers VIII be late IN be-
ing housed
Owing to the frost coming early in
Aroostook and the shortness of the
digging season. farmers are now at
their wits end to know Just how they
are TO manage 4 e large amount of
work required before heavy frost ar
rlves. Each month is seeing more of
the young men leave and this means
more hired labor. which is inexper-
cnced labor so to speak, The city
lads no matter how hard they work
cannot accomplish the work the av-
erage Aroostook lad can nor can il
he expected that they could: they are
not used to the way of the farmer
boy who has spent all his life on the
farm and who knows just how to go
to work in order to accomplish the
best results for t:.le 81 ent.
Many of the young girls have hired
out and are found wedding gardens
and doing more or less work on the
farms and they are as a rule giving

YOUR NOSE MAY
NOT DETECT THE
POTATO BLIGHT

Orono, Me, Aug. 1.-THE follow
ing was issued today by the Exten-
sion Service. College of Agriculture,
Univ, rsity of Maine by C. +. Ramsey
extension pathologist:
Potato blight or Rust has been
found in practically all parts of the
State, and in some instances it has
been allowed TO progress SO far that
il will be next to Impossible to check
the disease. This is principally due
to the fact that most people do not
recognize the presence Of rust until
they can smell it. One cannot smell
il until many plants have turned
black, wiited and begun to decay,
then it is too late. BY the time the
odor of these decaying plants is no.
ticable, spores by the thousands have
been blown to the surrounding heal
thy plants. Each one Of these spores
hich falls upon a moist leaf is ca +
pable of growing or causing the leaf
to die, and in turn the spores which
develop upon this leaf will be carried
over and infect other healthy plants
This is why rust spreads so rapidly
during moist rainy weather. The
weather has been and is now very
favorable for rust 1t is very i'm
portant that you should look to see If
your potatoes are still healthy The
dark water soaked spots which show
q white downy border when YOU look
on the under side Of the leaf. are the
ones which show a very active grow
ing stage of rust
Rust usually appears in definite 10
calities or spots in the fields, and may
be only few feet across, but it soon
spreads until there is a large circular
area of affected plants If YOU find
one of these spots in Your field, spray
it thoroughly. with home made Bor-
deaux going over it twice. once in
each direction. Spray the remainder
OF the plot and see that every plant
is completely covered. then spray oft
en- enough to keep them covered
throughout the season. Potatoes
should be sprayed once every week
during rainy weather. Bulletins on
potato spraying may be had free of
charge by writing to the College Of
Agriculture, Orono. Maine
