FOREIGN BORN ARE
 REAL AMERICANS

Full-fledged Americans, wearing the uniform of Uncle Sam, are being developed at the U. s. Army canton ments; men who a year ago were wholly out of touch with American ideas, some not even knowing why they were being drafted or why we were going to fight. This Is all a re- suit of the Americanization process applied to alien soldiers, a process which having once been hit upon soon proved it's value.
 In a division at Fort Riley, Kansas, there are men from more than thirty countries. In this conglomerate mass are included all races, all creeds, and all manner of peoples. Some are from Norway, the Netherlands, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, including Ar menia; others from Austria, including Bohemia and Hungary; Germany, Luxemburg, Montenegro, Greece, Italy Lichtenstein, Belgium, Bulgaria, France and Russia; and still others from Portugal, (Azores Islands) Gau- temala, Honduras, Denmark, Rouma- mia and Switzerland.
 Of course, Great Britain, including England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Canada and Australia is also reported.

EFFICIENCY OF
 WIRELESS HAS
 BEEN INCREASED

London, Sept. 23-The efficiency of wireless telegraphy has been enor- mously increased during the war, a semi official statement issued by the Royal Air Force says. In particular great progress has been made in send Ing wireless messages from aircraft
 In 1914 various difficulties restricted the use of wireless in conjunction with airplanes. Most of these have been overcome and the use of wireless communications from the air has bee'i of great assistance to the Allied forces in all military operations.
 Without the assistance of wireless the use of airplanes could never have been developed so fully as it now is. Artillery observation by airplane is among the most profitable of all the uses of aircraft.
 Far below in the batteries the wire less operators received the corrections from the airplane till the signal comes Co indicate that the right range has been found and, later, the "cease flre'' signal to indicate that destruction has been accomplished.
 The extended range of aircraft wire less leads to it's use from airplanes on long reconnaissance, and the operator in the hut on the aerodrome, miles behind the lines, is the first to learn perhaps, of a new German howitzer empacement, perhaps of the massing of troops intended to effect a surprise "a vain hope thanks to the wire less.

BRAVERY OF FSLAvSI IS UNDOUbTED BY
 ALLIED NATIONS.

So much has come out of Russia and Siberia in the last few months that anything from that maelstrom of an- archy and nihilism and revolution is looked upon with doubt. But the Czecho-Slovaks, who are doing some fighting in Siberia are a different ele- ment. They may fail. But if they do they will fail with their hearts Ioy- al to the allies whose cause they have espoused under conditions that no other people have. They are fight ing because of a hatred three centur- ies old. That hatred was expressed by hundreds of their compatriots of other but similarly situated races some time ago when they adopted a declaration of independence as ring ing as that penned by Thomas Jeffer- son. They did 1t not in the surround ings of their friends but in the city of Prague where the roar of the Austrian and German guns which they were defyfng rang in their ears and drown ed their voices.
 In the dual monarchy of Austria Hungary, which is under the imper- ialistic hand of the Hapsburg dynas- ty, there are approximately 50,000,- 900 people. Of this number there are about 12,0Oo,O 900 Austro- Germans and about 10,000,0O0 Magyars These two classes rule the nation and have al the power. Opposed to them are 9,000,0 900 Czecho-Slovaks of the north ern provinces; 5,0O0,0O0 Poles; 4,0OO,- 900 Ruthenians; 100000 Jugo- Slavs, 3,000,000 Rumanians and l. 100000 Italians. The Jugo- -Slavs belong to the Adriatic provinces. They want their freedom, but if their coun- try were cut off from Austria it would shut the latter nation from the Ad- riatic sea and so destroy the nations maritime power. Hence Austria holds a firm club over them. The Rumanians would be glad to join their own nation if they could. All these, including the Jugo-Slavs, have peoples outside of Austria with which they may unite in their demands Not so the Czecho- -Slovaks.
 The Czecho-Slovaks are a passion ate, impulsive and daring people They have one ideal-thefr liberty, and now with that in sight, as they believe it is, they are ready to make any sacrifice in the interests of the nation which they believe will assist them in obtaining it.
 They have undertaken a war in be- half of the Allies which is staggering in its dangers. They are in open re- bellion against the power of their own nation They are surrounded on three Io,- |, ID willing tools of the Germans and on the other side by Austria. A German army has been sent into the regions in

SUPPLIES FOR THREE MONTHS IN
 FRANCE FOR MEN
Should There Be Interfer- ence of Shipping, U. s. Soldiers Would Not Suffer for Creature Comforts, According to Statements of Officers.

Tours, Central France, Sept. 24. - Correspondence of The Associated Press.)-The American army in Eu- rope could be fed and clothed and all aes creature comforts looked after for three months if not another pound of supplies was secured, This was the statement made here by officers of the army Quartermaster's Depart ment which directs this mammoth work of supplies.
 It gives an idea of the vast stock of reserve resources stored in the miles of warehouses stretching from the coast inland to the fighting line, and 1t is a comforting assurance too that this huge reserve will be kept up through the coming winter period so that the American soldiers warmth as well as his food and clothing will be fully looked after.
 It is a huge undertaking to feed a million men even for a single day a million men scattered to a thousand points, In trenches, on battlefields and camps, along 800 miles of front and are added housing and clothing, and the period is extended through the winter months of cold and frost, with the prospect that another million or two men may be headed this way be- fore long-with these elements one gets some idea of the magnitude of the supply problem for a million or more men,
 In the food branch alone, 1t takes over four million pounds of food ev- cry day to feed the army, This pro- digious daily consumption of food en- braces a million pounds of flour baked into a million pounds of bread every day, S75.000 pounds of fresh beef, 875,000 pounds of potatoes, 280,0OO pounds of sugar and 125,OO0 pounds of tomatoes, The pepper and salt for a single day Is 42.500 pounds
 Army coffee Is roasted at the rate of 10000 pounds a day, and 1t takes 20,- 900 pounds of solidified alcohol to cook this coffee through the month.
 Bacon 225, ,0OO pounds, beans 75,00O pounds, rice 5O,O00 pounds, onions 250,000 pounds, evaporated fruit TO- 900 pounds, jam 70O0O pounds, milk 62,500 pounds, vinegar 10000 pounds. lard 10000 pounds, butter 31,0OO sirup 10000 pounds
 Often on the field or in the trenches he is supplied from marmites, or huge thermos bottles carrying hot food for eight men, and often too the delivery in the trenches Is by the Yukon pack used in Alaska and by the Hudson Bay voyagers and Indians.
 Besides this four million pounds of food moving forward daily to the troops, each man carries with him two days emergency ration, five pounds to the man, or an additional five mill lion pounds of food for an army of a million men. Of the emergency ra- tion, carried on the back there is out standing every day two million pounds of corned beef and two million pounds of hardtack, SO0,OOO pounds of sugar 62,500 pounds of coffee, 10000 pounds of salt and 50O,OOO pounds of solidi- fled alcohol for heating and cooking while on the march.

DROWNED TRYING TO SAVE
 BRITISH SHIP
First Member of S.H. Harris Lodge to Give Life Hon
 ored By Members.

Standing silent and with bowed heads for the space of a minute, the members of Samuel H. Harris Lodge, I. o. G. F. last evening, 'honored the merpory of Raymond H. Tfngard, U. s, N, the first of it's members to make the supreme sacrifice.
 The U. s. s. Seneca, to which Tin gard was attached, was acting as con- voy to fleet of merchant vessels, one of which, the British ship We'll ington, was torpedoed. Her crew was rescued. A lieutenant of the Seneca thought the Wellington could be sav- ed and, obtaining permission, called for volunteers. Eighteen men were selected, Tingard among them and together with the British captain and eleven of his sailors returned to the Wellington. Owing to bad weather and high seas they were unable to save the ship and ten American sail ors. together with the British captain and several of his crew were drown ed. The remainder were rescued by Q destroyer who answered their wire less call for aid. Among those who lost their lives was Raymond H. Tin gard.

Dermatologist Gives
 Complexion Secret

"rhe great secret of keeping the face young is to keep off the dead cuticle." says Dr. J. Mortimer Mitch ell. Ut is well known that the sur face skin is constantly dying. falling off in imperceptible particles, except in some diseased conditions, when the same appear like dandruff. But the particles do not all drop off immedi- a&ely they die. being held for while by the live skin.
 "To have the dermatological sur geon peel off the entire outer skin at one time is a painful and expensive operation. The same result is ob- taired by applying ordinary merco- lized wax. as you would cold cream, allowing this to remain on over night, then taking it off with warm water One ounce usually sufices. The pro- cess is both painless and inexpensive. The wax, which is procurable at your drug store, hastens the natural she'd ding process. It gradually absorbs the dead and half-dead skin, reveal ing the new. healthy, youthful-look- sng skin underneath" ."--Ady.

Patriotic League
Notes

"The minute the war is over, I'm
going to buy ten-pound box of
candy and eat it," said a girl in a
street car the other day.
II shall order some of those lovely
before-the-war doughnuts-all wheat
flour, sweetened with plenty Of
sugar and fried in deep fat" said her
companion.
Have you thought somewhat in
this wise? Then ask yourself the
question, why have l been saving
food at all?"
why, because it was the patriotic
thing to do" will come your answer.
: Patriotic? Yes, and in the very
best way it is still patriotic. Now
that fighting has ceased do you
think the French, English and Ital-
ian soldiers can quietly slip home
and start growing food again? Do
you think they can raise harvest
overnight to feed themselves and
the civilian populations of their
countries?
Do you think that the devastated
fields of France can be made fit for
harvests in six months or a year
those lands torn by great holes,
filled with bits of shell and runis
and unexploded bombs not yet alto
gether harmless, often in such con-
fusion that scahcely an inch Of the
fertile black loan has not been
overturned and covered with sub
soil? Do you think that the need for
food will be overcome over there
when the peace treaty is signed?
Do you realize that there are two
hundred million newly liberated peo-
pie who are facing starvation this
the 1918 ones somewhat simpler,
but equally good as to food value.
The interesting thing is that the cost
was no higher, in fact it was slightly
less. l think, however, that this
year with staples still higher it
would not be possible to run the ia
bic at the same cost. / quote Miss
Krueger's summary:
1.-THE total expenditure for 1918
is ,less than either of the two pre-
ceding years. This indicates that
the rather vague notion ofFcohserva-
ton increasing the already too high
cost of living may be subject for
further investigation. Conservation,
as carried on in the cottage, repre-
sents very careful planning on the
part of the student. She spends no
more time on the actual preparation
of the meal, however, than the aver
age housewife would spend, since
full university work must be con-
tinued during the week at the cot

Save YOUR HAIR
and BEAUT|FY IT
WITH 'DANDER|NE'
Spend a few cents! Dandruff
disappears and hair stops
coming out.
Try this! Hair gets beautiful,
wavy and thick in
few moments.

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an Incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty Of your hair, besides it i'm
mediately dissolves every particle
of dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive scurf
robs the hair Of its lustre, its
strength and its very life, and if not
overcome it produces a feverishness
and itching of the scalp; the hair
roots famish, loosen and die; then
the hair falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or
too oily, get small bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine at any drug
store or toilet counter for a few
cents; apply little as directed, and
ten minutes after you will say this
was the best investment you ever
made.
We sincerely believe, regardless
Of everything else advertised, that if
you desire soft, lustrous. beautiful
hair and lots of tho -dandruff-
no itching scalp and no more falling
hair-you must use Knowlton's
Danderine. If eventually-why not
now?-Adv.

KIN HIS is very seriousl W.
must help Mrs. Dalton al
l. once" declared the Giant
of the Woods, when Blue Jay
brought word that the Blue Imps
had captured the mother of the two
soldier boys, Ben and Bill. will
you aid US, Sir Ready Smiler?" he
called to the leader of the Rosy
Pops.
Sure we will-if Princess Peggy
will give US strength" responded
the handsome pink knight.
"I'll do anything l can," promised
Peggy, who was still bit confused
over the strange appearance of the
Blue Imps, and their attack on her.
She didn't know how she could give
strength to the dashing Rosy Pops,
but she was perfectly willing to try.
"Come on, then! We must hurry"
cried the Giant. With that he swung
Peggy to his shoulder and set off at
a stride that carried him over the
ground surprisingly fast. The Rosy
Pops followed in military formation,
like flying cavalry.
Wasn't it funny the way those
Blue Imps exploded when the Rosy
Pops punctured them," chuckled
Peggy.
YES" agreed the Giant. "The
Blue Imps, like lot of our other
troubles, swell up mighty big and
cause no end of harm if we let
them, but if we just prick them they
promptly blow up ker-bang, and we
find that they are nothing more than
air after all"
But they seemed mighty strong
when was in their power" shud-
dered Peggy.
Eyes, they'll tie you Up quicker
than wink if you let them get hold
of you,' replied the Giant. "And
once their letters are fastened, they
seem to squeeze all the life and en-
ergy out of you. I know. They
used to get me often in the days
before you reformed me-"
What would they have done to
me, if you hadn't come along?"
asked Peggy.
They'd have taken you to the
Valley of Gloom, an awful place
filled with poisonous gases, and
there they would have kept you and
tortured you until you wasted awhy,
and maybe lost your mind or died"
How horrible" Peggy shuddered
again; and her face grew gloomy
as she thought Of the fate she had
escaped. She was glad she was
protected now by the valiant Rosy
Pops. She looked up gratefully, only
to gasp in dismay. The Rosy Pops
were flying away fast as they
could.
Here, here, call them back again."
shouted the Giant, looking so upset
Peggy couldn't help laughing at him.

rSee that blue cloud ahead?" said
the Giant.

That's it. laugh Laughr'
roared the Giant, juggling her up
and down until Peggy shrieked with
glee. And as she shrieked, the Rosy
Pops came swooping back as chip
per and eager as ever.
Keep smiling" whispered the
Giant, "They are afraid of sour
faces and run away from them. That
gives the Blue Imps a chance to take
possession"
"I'll smile and smile" replied
Peggy, who by this time was her
old cheerful self again.
"See that blue cloud ahead" said
the Giant. That's the Imp army
around Mrs. Dalton's home.
my gracious, can we break
through" asked Peggy, looking at
the dark mist that hung over the
farm house-a mist that she could
now see made up of thousands and
thousands of Blue Imps.
1--WE have to break through" in
sisted the Giant. THE Blue Imps
are slowly poisoning Mrs. Dalton,
and are planting their eggs in her
ink so that when she writes to her
soldier boys, her letters carry hun
dreds of Blue Imps over there to
weaken the morale of Our fighters.
