Lead to Badness

If you have dandruff you must get

if you don't.
Dandruffy heads mean faded, brit

dies and falls out-new hair will not
grow-then you are bald and nothing
can help YOU.
The only sure way to abolish dan
druff for good is to destroy the germ
that causes it. To do this quickly,
surely and safely. and at little ex-
pense. there is nothing so effective as
Partisan sage, which you can get
from good druggists everywhere. 1t

dandruff, stop itching scalp and fall
ing hair. and promote a new growth,
or the cost, small as it is, will be re-

Partisan sage is a scientific prep

an antiseptic liquid, neither sticky or
greasy, easy to apply, and delicately
perfumed.
If you want beautiful soft, thick,
lustrous hair, and lots Of it, you must
use Partisan sage. Don't delay-be-
gin tonight-a little attention now in
sures' abundant hair for years to
come.
Note: Partisan sage positively will

This is the first time since 1911 that
women have been eligible for such

service was opened to them for a
short time, but while their work was

American wage earners and paid
them twice to ten times the rates of
wages paid in similar employments
in the rest of the world. For pur-
poses of political advantage the
Free Traders denounced these Amer
lean business men as greedy grabbers
Of the country's substance and as en-

The present Free Trade Tariff law
was enacted in harmony with the
theory that a Protective Tariff works
to the enrichment of the few and
the impoverishment of the many.
That theory. as every intelligent man
should know. is a monstrous perver-

fectively by the fact that in national
wealth, gross and per capita. the
United States, under the policy of
Protection, leads the world, while in
respect If per capita consumption

United States is far and away the

encouraged this way of thinking.

The allied military authorities are

the allied policy is conservation Of

The Teuton forces renewed their
attacks today with great violence all
along the line between Noyon and
Chaulnes. but it IL known to the
allied commanders that the divisions
which Hindenburg hurled at the
British line have been so terribly cut
up. that he has been obliged to call
other divisions to replace them from

That is evidence of the German
desperation And we have the en-
couraging fact that the advance is
slowing up at the same time it's suf-

Save and Serve

Because the Thrift Stamp sells for
CSC. many people think the whole War
Savings stamp plan was launched es-
pecially for women and children, and
that the business man is not expected
to support 1t.
Nothing could be further from the
truth.
Every stamp purcha sed-whether
the 25c stamp or the five-dollar stamp
is the token of small personal sac
rifice; OF some purchase avoided be-
cause IL was not strictly necessary.
Ii represents capital withdrawn from
your daily spendings and loaned To
the Government. 1t represents labor
released from some unnecessary task
that 1t may be devoted to Government
needs. 1t represents manufactured
goods turned from private consump-
ton that the Government may be
more freely supplied.
Let no man suppose that these daily
sacrifices are required from women
and children-and not from him.
The withdrawal of capital for war
purposes is a hardship; though a
vastly lighter one than victorious
enemy would impose upon our trade
and industry. If this hardship is to
be borne equitably by our whole H.
dustrial and bushes fabric, we must
not permit it to affect only the pur-
chases of women and children. The
man CT means must do his share OF
the savings and the sacrificing. Lei
him buy stamps and keep on buying
until he has invested the maximum
amourt-sl.0oO allowed to any onf
holder.
To the nonmilitary man these
stamps represent his particular obj
gation-the pledge that he is daily
practic.ng the economies demanded
by the war.
Get the stamp buying habit, and
keep 1t up.

Inquiry into the probable cause of the
recent fire in the Press Building brings
out no suspicious circumstances, and it
is believed that it originated from nat
ural causes. With a loss of at least
$4,000 it was the most disastrous fire
in two years, far worse than the first
conf1agration in the same building late
last June. The Press Publishing Com
pany was put out of commission and
the paper is issued six mornings each
week from the office of the Express
Advertiser and the Sunday Press from
the Argus office. New equipment has
oeen ordered and the Press will move

are made habitable, matter of a few

round number OF loss does not in
clude the garden seeds lost by Pats

The Croeus.


There's a tiny life-germ stirring
Day and night;
Patiently it's reaching upward
Toward the light:
For 1t knows the robins coming,
Springtime's near,
Fettered in its icy prison,
Cold and drear.
I can hear you calling. calling,
Little flower,
Calling for the showers and sunshine.
Aprirs dover.
"Oh, what's the use Of blooming"
Do you say,
when the one who loved my beauty
Is away?
Whats the use Of trying
To be brave
When across the sea he's lying
In soldiers grave:
What's the use of doing
My small part
when the cruel war is clutching
Every hearth"
We must put our selfish sorrow
far away.
Do our bit by living bravely
Every day.
l can feel my dear ones presence
Where ! stand:
1 can almost feel the clasping
OF his hand.
Gaily bloom my golden crocus
Flower Of spring.
While the lilac buds are swelling
And the blue birds sing.
For the sad earth needs its blossoms
And its song;
They will make our hours of waiting
Seem less long.
