Two Negroes Discharged;
Would Have Cost u. S.
Too Much for Shoes

DALLAS, Tex, March 19.-While
some exemption boards have been
weighing the claims of directors to
military services who had revived long
forgotten dependents, at least two
Texans. willing to serve, have received
honorable discharges because the
army decided it would put too great a
strain on the United States govern
ment to keep them in shoes.
The recruits recently were dis
charged from Camp Travis at San An
tonic because Of the high price OF
leather. Both were negroes from the
Texas bottoms and both were valiant
in their wishes to get" the German
emperor. If either could have stepped
on him, it would have ended the war.
Each would have worn shoes number
Is if the army could have supplied
them. 1t was estimated that shoes
would have to be made to order for
them at a cost Of $50 a pair and SO
they were sent back to the farms.
Some Of the exemption claims have
been freakish. In Dallas, fearful

MOVIE ACTRESSES
AND THEIR HAIR

Did it ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has
lovely hair, while the most popular
count their curls as their chief beauty
In fact many are leading ladies just
because of their attractive looks. In
quiry among them discloses the fact
that they bring out all the natural
beauty OF their hair by careful sham
rooing. not with any soap or make
shift. but with a simple mixture by
putting q teaspoonful of canthrox
(which they get from the druggist) In
cup of hot water and applying this
instead of soap. This full cup OF sham
poo liquid is enough SO it is easy to
apply it to all the hair instead Of Just
the top Of the head. After its use. the
hair dries rapidly with uniform color.
Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. The
hair is SO fluffy that it looks much
heavier than it is. while its lustre and
softness is delightful.-Adv.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l have an
old mother who is now staying alone

Now her son Is serving in the army.
When at home he always gave her

little better than paying board, and
he had my mothers promise that ne
would get the house after her death.
He has been in the army two months
and has sent her $4,000 twice. but she
cannot live on that little. She went
to the Exemption Board and they told
her that If my brother gave her $500
she could be satisfied / would like
to know the person who could live on
$1,000 or $500 month when every
thing is high priced. She couldn't pay
for her fuel with that little he sends
her. She has house that is worth
about $500, but it needs repairing and
she hasn't enough money to fix it.
She is sixty-five years old and has
rheumatism and is afraid she will be
crippled.
Ny brother has supported my folks
for ten years. Mother feels that when
he comes back he will stay with her
and the house belongs to him. She
feels that 1t is enough to give her son
for our country without the burden
falling heavier on her. She feels that
the government ought to pay her $40
