splendid active tonic that will
greatly help any weak. rundown
person to regain normal strength.

The Removal of Christmas Restrictions

The government has removed the severe re-
strictions on trade that were necessary during
the war to conserve raw materials, increase man
power, and accelerate transportation The ban
is off. the holiday trade Only few limitations
remain, and these are essentially necessary from
the standpoint of good merchandising.
A few months ago it seemed certain that this
Christmas would be gloomy one. Millions OF
homes would be filled with fear of eventualites
in Europe affecting the lives of their dear ones.
Happily for us, the armstice has been signed,
peace will soon be declared, and thousands of our
boys will return to their native shores.
The authorities have taken advantage of this
situation to restore Christmas to it's old stand
ing. Once more cheer and gladness will mark the
day-not only here but in countries where a
devastating war has for four years made the
holiday tragedy and a mockery of it's real mean
ing You may now buy what you want and ship
it where you please. The stores are filled with
attractive merchandise.
The Council of National Defense in recent
order, which is appended, puts official sanction
on Christmas buying:
'The Council National Defense believes
that, the steps essential to the rapid estab-
normal aer-the conditions, it should
and hereby does, lift the ban in connection with holt
day buying in the desire to give natural impetus to
unemployment of those normally engaged in the
production holiday material and in the holiday
trade The Council further impeled to this decis-
ion by of the necessity confronting us
military forces and munitions factory work
back to the ordinary pursuits of life with the least
possible shock in making the change"
The wise Christmas shopper is the early
shopper Shelves are filled with well selected
and handsome Christmas gifts. The early shop
per has a wide field from which to choose. The
late conner must take what is left
With the glorious victory that has been won
by the free peoples of the world, the people of
the United States have abundant reason for re-
joicing and gladness. If they contribute to
the cheer of others by the presentation of gift,
let them take advantage of the opportunity this
year.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11-A recre-
alton program designed at once to
keep the patients in military recon
struction hospitals cheerful and ror-
NAL and at the same time to supple
ment the corrective physical treat
ment of the medical officers, has been
agreed upon between the surgeon gen.
erals staff and the Bureau of Camp
Service Of the American Red Cross.
1t was disclosed today that the plan is
to be put into effect at once in %
hospitals, where somes fifteen thou
sand cases of men MANNED or suffering
from shell shock are under treatment
The Red Cross will undertake to
carry out all recreational activities,
except those classified as physical
education or therapeutic treatment,
which will be in charge of the depart
ment of education Of the division of
physical instruction of the surgeon
general office. In the latter field the
Red Cross will cooperate by supply
ing equipment and rendering such
other services as may be requested by
the medical or reconstruction agencies.
The object will be to keep patients
happily employed. to encourage the
manned to enter fully into social &C
tivities, and by carefully chosen games
and exercises fitted to each class to
encourage men through play to use
dormant muscles and to increase their
ability to make one limb do more and
more the work of two. Throughout
the effort, it is said, will be not merely
to give each man temporary diversion
that will while away his time but
rather to benefit him permanently and
to encourage him to add to the pleas
ure of his fellows and thus gain a
consciousness of his value to society.
Singing Societies.
Besides motion picture shows and
entertainments and fireside evening
recreations, as well as the usual club
room games, special attention will be
given to the development of orches-
tras, glee clubs, choruses, quartets,
debating, reading, story telling and
study clubs and sing group or compe-
titive activities among the manned.
The camp service people also will see
to 1t that the patients get home papers
and other daily papers as well as mag
azines and technical books and writ
ing, especially of letters, will be en-
couraged by affording stationery and
comfortable desks.
Cross workers will arrange for the
! theatre parties, dances, Christmas
dinners, entertainments and trips for
men able to leave the hospital grounds
and will provide automobiles for those
unable to travel by street car.

altogether too little known and appreciated. On
them rested the responsibility for maintaining and
increasing food production and for assisting in Sc
curing fuller conservation of food and foodstuffs"
Thus does Secretary of Agriculture Houston,
in his annual report, pay tribute to the farmers
wife who helped win the war by going out into
the field to help her husband put in, cultivate and
harvest the crops necessary for the sustenance
of Americas population and the soldiers and civ
ans of the allied nations.
The result of that vicarious labor is reflected
in his summary of the output of the American
farms for 1918:
Wheat YIELD 91892O,0O0 bushels
Corn yield, 2,749, 10000 bushels
Gain in acreage of cotton, tobacco potatoes
and cereals over 1917 estimated at 100000
acres.
The farmers wife and his children played no
nconsequential part in the increased food pro-
duction of America. Even at its best the career
of farmers wife is not an easy one. She is up
with the sun, and besides attending to her house
hold duties, which are fully as great as those Of
a housewife in city, is engaged in milking, maxi
ing butter, gardening and scores of tasks of which
the urban housewife knows nothing.
In 1918 she assumed the additional burden of
assisting her husband in the field Her sons had
been called to the army and navy. Farm labor
could not be procured. So she became the SUBJ
stitute. She took the place of her boys and the
hired hands, and with her daughters, helped
father put in not only the normal crop but also
the additional acreage which the government
asked him to till.
She did great and noble work. All honor is
due her. She proved her patriotism by deeds
that manifest themselves in the increased yield
of our fields.

Dandruff Surely
Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your hair and ruin it if you don't
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces Of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all. of your
dandruf will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy, every single
sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is Inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have. This
simple remedy never fails.
