10TH DIVISION
is SAFE OVERSEES
Arrival of $4,000 New Englanders Who
Were at Camp Devens Is Announced
Officially,

CAMP DEVENS, July 25.-The 10th
division has gone. Maj -Gen. Harry Foote
Hodges and $1,000 New England officers
and soldiers went away from this camp,
which saw the creation 10 months ago OF
the division as a unit in the national ar
my, and now equipped with the training
that all soldiers must have to carry the
nations standards onto the battlefield
The official announcement of the de-
parture, made yesterday at division head
quarters coincident with the issuance OF
an order creating the 18th division, which
shall be the third representative Of New
England, does not state when the divi.
sion went, where it went or any other
fact affecting the soldiers after they passed
beyond the camp gates. Until the division
appears on the fighting line and is iden-
titled IN dispatches it will be yelled il
the obscurity that battles the enemy as
to American army plans.
| 1t may be presumed as a reassuring fact
to the many New England families rep
resented in the division that no mishaI
interfered with the movement of the di
vision before reaching its destination.

Dandruffy Scalps
Lead to Badness

If you have dandruff you must get
rid of it quick-it's positively danger
GUS and will surely ruin your hair if
you don It.
Dandruffy heads mean faded, brittle,
gray, scragglyt hair that finally dies and
falls out-new hair will not grow-then
you are bald and nothing can help you.
The only sure way to abolish dandrnf-
for good is to destroy the germ that
causes it. To do this quickly, surely,
and safely and at little expense, there
is nothing so effective as Partisan sage,
which you can get from Wilfred +.
Root and good druggists everywhere. 1t
is guaranteed to Danish dandruff, stop
itching scalp and falling hair, and pro-
mote a new growth, or the cost, small
as it is, will be refunded.
Partisan sage is a scientific prepara-
ton that supplies all hair needs-an
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy, easy to apply, and delicately
| perfumed.
If you, want beautiful, soft, thick,
lustrous hair, and lots of it, by all
means use Partisan sage. DON'T delay

sures abundant hair for yeans to come.

Article by DR.. A. L. Pettee in Journal
of Dental Profession.

One of the latest issues of The Den
tai summary, journal of practical dem
tistry, there is printed in full the paper
given by DR. A. Louis Pettee of Brat
tleboro before the Vermont State Den
tai society, entitled the Dental Surgeon
in the Military service. 1t mentions the
struggles of the dental profession to
obtain recognition by the medical de-
partment of the army, which finally
were successful, and makes a plea for
two things in particular in the line OF
professional preparedness, measures
whereby an enlisted dental surgeon
should have positive assurance that his
practice should be returned to him in
tact on his return from service, and the
organization of dental unit designed
on the lines of highest efficiency.
The paper closes with the following
of interesting information: "The Goth
day of January, 1916, the first dental
attention ever given by the dental pro,
fession to a company of the National
Guard of the United States was given
by a few members of the denta
profession of the state of Yer
mont at Brattleboro. Later on, the
Preparedness League of American Den
lists was organized. In June, 1916, thu
Forsyth Infrmary at Boston opened it
doors to repair the mouths of the Mas
sachusetts militia. Later, at South Fran

DUTY THEIR ONLY THOUGHT
Soldiers Who Carry Messages Have
but One Idea,. the Information
Must Reach Its Destination.

There is a post every once in SO
often along the front lines, where the
men detailed to messenger service
await their turn for duty. Every hour
a message of some sort must be car
ried to the rear, if only to inform the
reserves that all is well. The men pass
the time between turns singing and
whistling and joking with each other.
When the hour is up the man whose
turn it is takes the message, shakes
hands with the others, says $50 long,
boys" and starts. They shake hands,
because they know the chances are he
will not reach the rear. In that case
another man will start, take the mes
sage from him and carry it on. Some
times he, too, falls before the goal is
reached. Then group of messengers
leaves the post, and one or the other of
them picks up the message. For the
message must get to the rear.
Often it happens as in one instance.
A desperately wounded messenger
reached the rear and gave the message
into the hands of the commanding Of
ficer. He had picked it up from a
fallen comrade and had himself been
hit twice on the way. He died while
the officer was reading the message:
Nothing to report. From Red
Cross Workers Scrapbook.
