MANY OWN LIBERTY BONDS
One in Every Home Throughout
the Country.

Before the war there were SUBJ
stantially 100000 savings bank de-
positors. Add to this 100000 de-
positors in state banks, which list, Of
course, includes many commercial ac-
counts; 100000 postal savings bank
depositors and 100000 depositors in
private banks. After eliminating du-
plicatlons, |. would likely be lib
eral to estimate that there were IA
100000 money savers in the United
States before the war, with not to
exceed 100000 families probably
represented In this number The
,ourth Liberty loan was supported by
100000 subscriptions. 1t would
likely be extremely conservative to say
that 3,OOO,OOC others have subscribed
to former issues of the Liberty loan
and were unable to do so in the fourth
loan. We can then with safety say
there are 24,OOOOOO owners of Lib
erty bonds in America today. BY
the elimination of 100000 for dupli-
Gates we are not in danger Of misstat-
ing facts when we say that there Is
now bond in every home in the coun-
try.-Thrift Magazine.

''LETTERS-FROM-HOME" WEEK
War Department Commission Wants
Soldiers Kin to Help Maintain
Morale of Army.

New York.-The week of December
10 has been designated by the war
department commission on training
camp activities as a time for special

home touch" to broad-gauged mill

morale of the men who find them
selves idle after weeks of strenuous
fighting. The war department hopes,
through these letters to keep the men
contented, straight" and ambitious
to live up to the high ideals of Amer
lean manhood.
A model letter such as the govern
ment wants the mothers and fathers
especially to write has been prepared
by the war department. This, with
letters from Secretary of War Baker
and Raymond b. Fosdick, chairman of
the commission, indorsing the plan,
has been mailed to newspapers
throughout the country. The letter
particularly asks that the men over
seas direct their attention to whole
some recreation and activities, instead
of to the unwholesome influences that
might result from the enforced period
of idleness wherever large bodies of
troops are awaiting orders to return
home

To be possessed of head OF heavy,
beautiful hair; soft. lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff Is merely
a matter of using little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of 1t. Just get
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, fluffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss AMI lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderne is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp. and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really Is, moisten cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t THROUGH yoc2 nair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be Soft glossy and beautiful in just
few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

The Central Division Bulletin of the
American Red Cross, in a recent is
sue, has a stirring call for trained
nurses to enroll for service. A great
many nurses are needed both for for
eign and home service. The constant
fighting on many fronts, the increas-
;lg number Of wounded returning TO
America, and the greatly expanded
army and navy make the need for
nurses imperative. The following are
extracts from this Bulletin:
The nursing service must hold two
great lines. The first line is the care
Of the wounded men in u hospitals
over there. The second line is the
care Of our soldiers in training, in the
cantonment hospitals yer here. Enroll
now Help hOld those lines.
The secretary Of val has just issued
a regulation placing members of the
Army Nurse Corps above all non-com-
missioned officers. Congress has re-
Gently enacted Il law increasing the
salary of members OF the Army Nurse
Corps To 5000 Il month over here,
and $50 II month over there, with main
tenance and travelling expenses.
Enroll our boys overseas must not
be allowed 70 suffer one single mo-
ment for the lack of wOmen's skilled
and tender care.
Enroll, II YOU are vitality needed

Your training. your experience, your
wOman's tenderness and devotion
there can be no greater, no nobler gift
TO your country in this supreme hour.
Next to enlisting himself. the physi-
clans most patriotic duty is TO en-
courage trained nurses to enroll for
war service.
The Red Cross understands perfect
~ the sacrifice his will entail upon
physicians and the public, but as be-
tween such sacrifice on their part and
a sacrifice of our enlisted men. the
Red Cross knows that American pro-
fessional men and citizens will not
hesitate one moment in a choice.
Ii means that in the home, in the
laboratory, and IN the hospital, these
expert nurses must be used the few
