Two Noteworthy
Events

Events
The two noteworthy events Of the
past week were the speeches Of Mr..
Lloyd George and the President.
The Premier spoke first and spoke
we'll. but Mr.. Wilson's declaration
vas veritable masterpiece. He has
never done, and we doubt II anyone
living could have done, better. We
liked particularly his definiteness.
There was none of the hazy rhetor-
10 which sometimes characterizes his
utterances and leaves the reader
guessing. His numerical summary
Of the fourteen war aims was quite
foreign to his usual method and, per-
haps for that very reason at time
when the whole world was eager for
something specific to take hold OF.

Naturally and necessarily. the de-
elarations Of the two leaders coincid-
cd In all essentials. differing only In
degree with respect to Alsace-Lor-
raine and Russia. Lloyd George
bluntly asserted that her lost prov
inces must be restored to France.
while Mr.. Wilson insisted only that
the wrong should be righted." It is
easy to understand that the British
Premier felt . positive necessity of
spholding the French In their chief
purpose. but from the American
standpoint the Presidents prudence
vas most wise and wholly sound.
Surely, in the event of this remain
ing the only question undetermined

United States to continue frightful

School, bad as guests last Satur-
day, Mrs. Falconer, Supt. OF the
Girls School, Pennsylvania, who
also has charge of the disburse-
ment of a fund of several mil
lion dollars appropriated for res
cued work by a recent act OF
Congress. Mrs, Falconer was
accompanied by assistants, MISS

with the Russell Sage Founda-
ton and DR.. feathers, OF Jack

proposition was made by those
representatives, which termlna-
ted in favorab bic report. Prof.
Jacobs is pleased to announce
that from this source that in
stitution is soon to receive mate
rial aid of no small moment.
After looking over the situa-
ton fully, Mrs. Falconer an
nounced that a sufficient sum
would be available from the
fund which she represents to
construct and furnish complete
two cottages on that site. NC
definite amount was stipulated,
but the understanding IS that
the cottages will cost about $50
900 each, and the money is eX-
pected to be avalla bic so that
work may begin on the buildings
by the first of another year.
1t is through the efforts OF
Gov. Bilbo MANY that sufficient
interest was directed to this
long needed institution, which
resulted in the above lnvestiga-
ton and donation. Though in
its infancy, that site is already
assuming the proportions of a
big institution, a number OF
handsome buildings having been
completed, and more are III
course of construction. No one
takes more pride IN it's advance
ment than Prof. Jacobs, and il
is hoped every success will con-
tinue to attend his efforts.

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH
SPEAKS

Oscar Bowling, president of the State

sheriff and president of the Police Jury
has been received by The Review:
GIN view of the rapid widespread pre-.
Fralence of influenza or grip in Louis
lana, the appalling death rate from pneu.
monia as consequence, and in keeping
with the suggestion of Surgeon General
Rupert Blue, L. S. Public Health Serv-
ice, I urge immediate attention to the
situation by your honorable board.
"While records are incomplete, num-
Der of cases reported from over the state
give evidence of the seriousness of the
situation. To meet conditions we must
exert every possible mean of control,
therefore, it is imperative that you and
>your board consider immediate closing
of schools, places of amusement and all
other places where people congregate, not
necessary for the public good, and pro-
hibit public meetings until the outbreak
is under control.
Gin my Judgment the closing of soft
drink stands, ice cream establishments,
bars $50 far as serving drinks is con-
cerned), and other places of this char
acter should also be considered. Restau-
rants should be required to sterilize all
dishes and to keep their places strictly
clean. Markets, likewise, should exercise
every possible precaution. l uggest con-
sideration also be given to over crowd

GIRLS! GIRLS! TRY 1T!
STOP DANDRUFF AND
BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
Exir Stops Falling Out and Get.
Thick, Wavy, Strong and
Beautiful.

Your hair becomes light, wavy
fluffy, abundant and appears as soft
lustrous and beautiful as young
girls after "Danderine hair
cleanse" Just try this-moisten a
cloth with a little Danderine and
carefully draw it through your hair,
taking one small strand at a time.
This will cleanse the hair of dust,
dirt and excessive oil and in just a
few moments you have doubled the
beauty Of your hair.
Besides identifying the hair at
once, Danderine dissolve every par
ticle of dandruff; cleanses, purifes
and invigorates the scalp, forever
stopping itching and falling hair.
But what will please you most will
be after few weeks use when you
will actually see new hair-fne and
downy at frst-yes-but really new
hair growing all over the scalp. If
you care for pretty, soft hair and
lots of it, surely get small bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine from any drug
gist or toilet counter for few cents.

1T SHOULD MAKE
A MILLION FOR HIM
Cincinnati Man Discovers Drug That
Loosens Corns So They
Lift Out.

Good news spreads rapidly anC
druggists here are kept busy dispens
ing Freezone, the recent discovery OF
a Cincinnati man, which is said to
loosen any corn so it lifts out with
the fingers.
A quarter of an ounce costs very
little at any store which handles
drugs, but this is said to be sufficient
to rid ones feet of every hard or soft
corn or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn or toughened
callus and instantly the soreness is
relieved and 500 nthe corn or callus
is so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is a sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
inf1ames OF even irritates the sur
rounding skin.
This discovery will prevent thou
sands of deaths annually from lock-
jaw and infection heretofore result
ing from the suicidal habit of cut
ting corns.

FACTS ABOUT
INFLUENZA

Everyone seems to think he
will have influenza. Everyone
wants to know how it begins.
1t is really not probable that
everyone will be attacked by the
disease and it is not possible to
give much information as to how
it begins or how to keep away
from it.
Usually it starts just as a bad
cold does. General aching, head
ache, backache, often a chill.
There is fever in some cases, fire.
quently the temperature runs
high. A great many cases of in
f1uenza show no further symp-
toms than those of an ordinary
cold. Sometimes the cache" is
worse than in a cold.
/ Anyone who feels chilly, few
erish, "achy" should go home
and go to bed.
The suggestions most helpful
are:
Don't worry about Catching"
anything.
Keep your feet dry and warm
and your head cool.
If you need laxative, take it.
Don't over-eat.
Sleep nine hours. In room
by yourself, if you can.
If you s.eep in a room with
others, tie handkerchief over
nose and mouth.
Relieve the street car by walk
ing to work, even if it is three
miles.
Don't cough or sneeze at any
body.
When you expectorate, spit in
a paper and burn it.
Influenza is very easily COM
municables and the best proven
tive measure is to keep the body
