Lloyd George is likely to weather the
present cabinet storm in Great Britain
simply because of the fact that there
does not appear to be anyone in sight
more capable of taking up the work of
prime minister in the present crucial
point in the history of the war Great
Britain may fume and fuss about the
acts of Lloyd George, but Great Britain
still knows that the present premier has,
in the main, proven himself big enough
for the task. 1t is to be hoped that the
present difficulties will be Strengthened
out satisfactorily.

The motorcycle is in the class with the
automobile in its potentialities to harm
the rider or other users of the highways;
and it should not be treated lightly just
because it is a much smaller vehicle than
the automobile. In fact, most people
who use the highways would rather meet
an automobile any day than motor

Announcement that American heavy

work in smashing German trenches is a
valuable bit of information. 1t indicates

Before we get too complacent over the
results of the third Liberty loan, we
should bear in mind that preparations
for the fourth loan are already under
way. The government is not going to
allow the American people to become
self-satisfied over any performance until
the main job is done. That job is the re-
moval of the peril of Pan Germanism.

PLEA FOR LABORERS
Kansas City Editor Here in Behalf of
Steel Men on a Strike,

j. B. Casey of Kansas City, Kan,
editor of a boiler makers Journal, APP
peared before the district appeal board
today ON behalf of ESQ employees of the
Kansas City Structural Steel company
who are out on a strike and who have
been having trouble with their local
registration boards over their indus
trial classifications. According to the
information Casey brought to the dis
trict board, the local boards at Kansas
City, Kan, have threatened to- put
the men in class l and induct them
into army service if they do not re-
sumo their places. 40
Casey laid a very pitiful plea before
the district board. The men were en-
ployed on contracts for the Emer-
gency Fleet corporation, he said, and
therefore We're given industrial CLASH
flcatlons and were supposed to receive
fixed wage of IL cents an hour
However. he asserts that the Kansas
City Structural Steel company discrim-
mated against the men, interfered
with their labor organization and paid
some of the men only about 40 cents
an hour. He said conditions became
so bad the men were, practically forced
to give up their jobs after they had
made every effort to adjust matters
and had called in two government adj
justerS.
The district appeal board assured
Casey that the matter OF changing in
dustrial classifications rested entirely
with the district board and is out OF
the Jurisdiction OF local boards. How
ever, he was told that nothing could be
done until the cases come up for set

FAKE OLDER MEN ONLY
Y. NJ. c. A. Will Not Accept Overseas
Workers Under 81 Years Old.

The personnel board of the Y. NJ. c.
A. has received instructions from gov
eminent authorities on the classes of
men available for Y. NJ. c. A. service
Only men who were 81 years of age
or more on September IL, 1918, can
be used in the Y. M. C. A. service.
These men, of 81 or older, must have
deferred classification, belonging to
second, third, fourth or fifth classes.
The army allows also to the Y. M. c.
A. men over 81 years of age who are
disqualified for military service by OBJ
vious physical defects. The Y. NJ. C.
A, however, does not accept men of
physical disability. These restrictions
are made for overseas Y. NJ. C. A. ser
vice.
For the home service, no exemptions
will be asked for class l men. Other
classes may be used in Y. NJ. c. A.
home service until they are called in
to military service.
The Y. NJ. G. A. does not use men
under 81 years of age unless they have
outstanding ability along lines for
which it is difficult to secure qualified
men, such as physical directors, stem
ographers and auto mechanics.
The new orders will disqualify a
good many men whose applications
have been received at the Y. NJ. c. A.
personnel office. A number of men
are to be examined Friday of this
week for the service, one or two To-
peka men being included in the group
of applicants to come before the COM
mittee at its next meeting.

Issue Health Certificates t
Questionable Women.
ONE DOCTOR IS NEAR TROUBLE
Gave Out "CIean Bills" When
Disease Was Evidenced.
His Certificates Were DecOrat-
ed in Red, White, Blue.

Kansas physicians who issue health
certificates to women of questionable
chara cter are going to find the state
board of health rather troublesome in
the future, Capt. Willard Knowlton
announced today, and all who indulge
in this practice are going to find
themselves skating close to the I'M
patriotic danger line. Both state and
government officials consider the
practice of encoura ging the possible
to the Germans and more dangerous to
the country than any Hun propaganda
that may be spread.
The campaign against the issuance
of health certificates was started fol-
lowing the discovery that a doctor at
Augusta has been promiscuously put
ting out statements guaranteeing that
the holders are free from social and
contagious or infectious diseases.
The name of the doctor is being
withheld by the state board of health,
but Captain KnOwltOn has direct evil
dence that he has been supplying girls
with "clean bills and that in some
cases the girls were not what their
stocking certificates represented them
to he.
One certificate that is in the hands
of the state officials bears the date
of July II. The woman to whom il
was issued was brought under Obser-
walton on August Z and was found to
be socially diseased. Other certifi-
Gates issued by this same doctor have
been received and are being carefully
preserved for use should any legal ac-
ton come of the practice he has been
carrying on. The certificates are
handsomely decorated with patriotic
colors and might indicate to the I'M
sophisticated that the holders were
under government control.
The Augusta doctor endeavored to
defend his actions when the state
board of health got in touch with him
and denied, it is said, that he issued
them to women who wished to use
them in commercializing immoral
practices The women wanted them
he said, for their own personal salts

HOW TO JUDGE A WOMAN
BY HER HAIR

There is real common sense in just
noticing whether the hair is well kept
to judge of a woman's neatness, or
good taste. II you are one of the
few who try to make the most of
your hair, remember that it is not
advisa bic to wash the hair with any
cleanser made for all purposes, but
always use some good shampoo. You
can enjoy the very best by getting
some Canthrox from your druggist,
dissolve a teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy
to apply 1t to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. Dandruff.
excess oil and dirt are dissolved and
entirely disappear. Your hair will be
SO fluffy that it will look much
heavier than it is. It's luster and soft
ness will also delight you. while the
stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth--Adv.
