MAYBE LETTER

Continued from page -
unto death. The person who shirks
or refuses to do Red Cross work
when physically able, is every bit as
much Stacker as the one who
lodges registration, lies about his
age or dependents or hides behind a
woman's skirts to escape military
duty. A Stacker is moral and ply
steal coward-God hates a coward
and Red Cross work is Cody. Dis
abuse your minds of the thought that
Red Cross work consists ONLY of
making surgical dressings or knit
ting, even though there is no such
work now being done, owing to a
difficulty in procuring the necessary
material. There is much, very much
and greatly important work to be
done, viz: the gathering, making and
repairing of refugee garments, the
collecting of salvage, tin foil and bot
ties, the holding of regular and fire.
quent meetings of the branch with
view of keeping abreast of Red Cross
affairs and activities, the perfecting
of the various committees, the dis
cussion and intimate acquaintance
with their manifold duties, especially
the Home Service Department, SO that
when the call comes, as come it sure
ly will and God only knows how
soon, each and every individual, like
the trained Gdre-fighter and true SOL
der, will be ready to render succOr
and assistance where and whenever
needed.
No person has a right to accept or
retain an Office unless prepared,
ready and willing to fully and con-
scientiously perform the duties of
said Office. II you plead lack of
time, domestic responsibilities or in
ability, why, quit, get out and let
some one who can and will do the
work come in. IT'S indeed more
creditable to frankly admit ones
failures, especially in Red Cross
work, than to clog the machinery,
for Red Cross unit, like chain, is
no stronger than its weakest link.
In conclusion, may l throw out the
suggestion that the above may be
taken home and applied to many
another branch and auxiliary of that
sublime organization-the American
Red Cross.
The report follows:
Vaudeville Branch, surgical dress
ings, 6677;. Vaudeville colored uax-

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS POLLING
Save Your Hair! Get = Small Bottle
Of Danderine Right Now-Also
Stops Itching Scalp.

Thin, brittle, coolrless and scrag-
gy hair is mute evidence Of neg
lected scalp; of dandruff-that awful
scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t rob sthe
hair of its lustre, its strength and
its very life; eventually producing a
feverishness and itching of the scalp,
which If not remidied causes the hair
roots to shrink, loosen and die-then
the hair falls out fast. A little Dan
derine to-night-now-any time
will surely save your hair.
Get small bottle of KnoWlton's
Danderine from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and
lots of it if you will just try little
danderine. Save your hair! Try it!

Business Houses Attacked.

A dispatch from Buenos Aires last
Friday reported serious demonstra-
tions in Antofagasta against Peruvian
business houses in consequence of a
false rumor that the Chilean consul
at Callao, Peru. had been assassinated
by Peruvians. No reports are at hand
as to the rioting at Iquique and
Pisagua.
The dispatch from Buenos Aires said
there was great agitation throughout
Chile over a speech made at La PaZ
by the Bolivian minister of war, who
is reported to have said that the hour
had arrived to take back the prov
inces of Tacna and africa from Chile.
The present unrest in Peru. Bolivia
and Chile. is due to desire of Peru
vians and Bolivians to settle the
Tacna and africa question under
President Wilson's principle of self
determination. These border prov
inces constitute the Alsace-Lorraine
question Of South America.
The Buenos Aires dispatch of Friday
added that it was reliably stated that
Chile had approached Argentina on
the subject of Argentina remaining
neutral in the event of an outbreak
between Chile and Peru.
