she is sentenced to a fine of / mark

In bulletin on the employment Of
women in the storage and warehousing
depots of the United States army is
the following:
'The census of 1910 reported that of
every 100 men and boys ten years of
age and over, only 10 were not gain
fully employed. This group of 10 in
cluded old men not able to work, chill
dren too young to work, the sick and
handicapped, and men in schools and
colleges.
assuming that 100000 of the num-
ber called by the selective-service law
have had some form Of gainful employ
ment, we may estimate that one out of
every GO men in the industries and
professions of the country has been
called into military service, while an
other in every 60 has voluntarily join
ed the forces of the army or navy.
Thus, about per cent of the gainfully
employed men have been taken out Of
their occupations"

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo your
hair SO frequently if it is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the use
OF really good shampoo. The easiest
to use and quickest drying shampoo
that we can recommend to our readers
is one that brings out all the natural
beauty OF the hair and may be enjoyed
at very little expense, by dissolving a
teaspoonful OF Canthrox, which can be
obtained from any druggist, in a cup
of hot water. This makes full cup
of shampoo liquid, enough SO it is
easy to apply it to all the hair instead
Of just to the top Of the head. This,
when rubbed into the scalp and onto
every strand Of hair. chemically dis
solves all impurities. 1t is very sooth-
ing and cooling in it's action, as well
as beneficial to both scalp and hair.
After rinsing out the lather so created,
you will find the scalp is fresh, clean
and free from dandruff, while the hair
dries quickly and evenly, developing
a bright luster and soft fiuffiness
that makes it seem very heavy.-Adv.

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs Thompson: About two
years ago / had girl friend that
thought the world Of and she seemed
to like me right well. One day was
sent to prison on a false charge and
l never had a chance to tell her why
or where had gone.
During my absence she learned
from a girl friend where was and
upon my return fourteen months at
terward having been found not guilty
was disappointed to hear that she
was married. She either did not care
for me or else upon hearing where |
was she might have thought me not
worthy Of her. / suspect 1t was the
former I met her on the street and
she said she did not believe what her
friend had said about me. Which do
you think. and what should do? Since
feel as though can love no other
girl than her. am not very popular
with the girls as work every day and
people think wrong Of me since being
where ! was although l know 1t was
not my fault. SAD HEARTED.
think that the girl did not care for
you as deeply as she seemed to or
she would have trusted you and not
married some one else.
! am sure that there Is some other
girl whom you will care for. There
is nothing that you can do now in re-
gard to the other girl.

and were sitting on the post office
steps. We noticed man standing
near US who seemed to be watching
US intently and finally he came over
and asked US II we had q moment to
spare We said we were just resting.
and he asked IL we would mind step
ping around the corner just Ave min
utes walk, and have cup Of coffee.
We thought that he might be Ger
man spy, but went along anyway. We
walked about six or seven blocks IN
til we came to a row of nice houses.
In front of one of these he stopped,
and said 1t was where he lived. His
wife and daughter met US at the door
and took our hats and coats, after
wards inviting us into the living room.
We had very pleasant chat. The
lady seemed to be evry well educated
and knew a great deal about the
states. 1t seems she had always
wanted to talk to some American sol
diers and this was her first chance.
We chatted until about $50, and they
asked us to stay for tea. We both
quickly decided to stay as it was the
first time we had had our feet under
a table with white table cloth on
1t and with plates, cups, saucers, etc,
since we had left home at 7:45 a. m.
Thursday, March 6, 1918. After sup
per we had another chat and finally
had to leave in order to get back to
camp before taps. They invited US
to return on the following Wednesday
when the lady's niece and friend
would play the piano and violin for
US, but we had orders to move on that
day so missed the treat.

Hotu to Look Years
Less Than Your Age

The most aged face will look years
younger after the use of ordinary merco-
lized wax for from ten days to two weeks
This remarkable substance. because OF its
peculiar absorptive power. actually re-
moves the thin veil Of faded or withered
outer cuticle, little at time. Gradually
the fresher. more youthful skin underneath
is revealed. This absorption process being
a purely hygienic one. an entirely natural
complexion Is acquired quite different
from the artificial complexion. which APP
pears anything but girlish. though often
bearing painful evidence of childishness.
An ounce of mercolized wax. obtail.able at
any drug store. is sufficient to retuvenate
any complexion. 1t IS put on like cold
with warm water.
To eradicate such age marks as wrinkles
and burrows. make a wash lotion by dis
solving an ounce OF powdered saxolite in
a half pint of witch hazel This has won
derful astringent and tonic properties. 1t
quickly effaces all kinds of wrinkles. no
matter how caused. making the skin firm.
smooth and young looking.
