The best drying arrangement is the
wind or the sunlight. First dry the
hair with warm towels and then eth
err go outdoors and let the elements
complete the work, or fan the hair
indoors.
Brushing will stimulate the circua-
ton of the scalp, and remove dan

your hairbrush should be stiff so as
to stir the scalp into warmth, but
they shouldn't be- pointed nor hard
enough to scratch the scalp.
Both brush and comb ought to be
washed at least once a week in wa
ter to which a few drops of ammo
MIA have been added. Then rinse in
clear water and dry the brush quickly
with the bristles down.
For a dry scalp apply pure vaseline
and massage the scalp with the fin
gers. If the scalp is oily and the hair
thin. massage with the following mix
ture:
20 grains of carbonate of ammo
mia.
dram of tincture of cantharides.
1-2 OF. of alcohol.
Bay rum.
Mix the various ingredients togeth-
er well and add enough bay rum to
make four ounces of the compound.
If the hair is dry and thin apply the
following mixture:
l IL drains of tincture Of contha-
rides.
1 IL drains of tincture of capsicum
2 drains of castor oil.
1 OF. of cologne water.
Mix well and use at night.
Shell hairpins are better for the
lair and the scalp but if you use the
steel variety keep the points smooth,
If you will cut off a littfe from the
ends of the hair every few months it
will help to prevent splitting at the
ends and encourage growth.

How To Care For The Hair
BY LucreZia -BOri
(The Famous Spanish Prima Donna)

Don't be afraid of washing the hair
frequently in warm weather, as one
usually feels like doing in the heat
of summer days.
Of course, the hair and the scalp
should be washed at least once a
month, but if the scalp is perfectly
healthy it is safe to shampoo the hair
more frequently Washing doesn't
remove the oil in the scalp, as some
persons believe. On the contrary a
thorough shampoo is stimulating to
the scalp, and as it improves the cir
culation it tends to increase the
strength of the scalp and the growth
of hair.
In fact, if the hair has begun to
fall out prematurely on account of
illness or of neglect, or if there is
dandruff, one of the best remedies is
to wash the hair two or three times a
week at the beginning of the treat
ment, then gradually lessen the num-
Der of times until the hair is washed
regularly every two or three weeks
Borax dissolved in the water is a
good cleanser, but neither borax nor
111I1hO4lld SllOulu ne USeu regularly. Ii
dondruff is present, it's a good plan
to soak the scalp thoroughly either in
vaseline or in castor oil and to leave
it on for "a hours before the shampoo
This will soften the dandruff and
make it easy to wash it out the next
day.
Here is a good shampoo compound:
OF. of green soap.
1 OF. of alcohol
Mix well and add one ounce of the
mixture to twice the amount of water
and rug on the scalp with fingertips
Then add enough water to make q
good lather and rug it into the scalr
Wash the soap out we'll even if it re.
| quires a great many changes of water
Some women who shampoo theil
| hair at home cannot rinse the hail
thoroughly, and the bits of soap tina
are left in the hair are unsanitary ant

SAVE WHEAT TO
SEND MORE over
TO OUR ALLIES

The wheat stock of the Allies h
down to a danger point. We must
send wheat, and more wheat and
more! To redeem our obligation, we
must cut down half our consumption.
We have fallen behind and now
American women are facing a serious
condition in the food supply of the
Allied World. Our harvest was less
than estimated; the needs of the Al
lies greater than calculated; losses by
sea and by battle heavier than antici-
pated, less comes from Argentina
than had been hoped for, and we
have eaten further into our stock of
wheat than we should.
America can depend on her women
to help in this wheat crisis for they
are ready to bear their burden. The
French women have given their men,
given their boys, given their strength,
their very lives. They are doing their
cwn work and the work of their ma
ton; and now they need wheaton
their boys and ours as we'll as for
themselves.
Giving up wheat is a little thing
compared to their death struggle
title thing but it may be done with
d greatness OIL spirit. changing our
habits is none too easy but SPLEEN
did response has already come. Ho-
tells have pledged themselves to do
without wheat until harvest; house
holds, communities, counties all over
the country have cut down wheat to
the limit or given it up altogether.
But the best we can do is too lit
tie, let all who can do more! Now
is the hour. of our testing, and wheat
is the test. Let us make it the hour
of our Victory, and send the follow
ing pledge to the City Home Econo-
mics Committee, Sanford House No.
221 Washington Ave.
We the undersigned pledge our
selves and our households, as far as it
les within our power to do so, to do
without wheat flour or wheat in any
form, for the next forty days. Also
we pledge ourselves to use corn in
some form or other at least once ev.-
cry day for the next forty days

PRACTICAL IDEAS
ON WAYS OF
CONSERVING

Mrs. Helen H. Downing, prominent
lecturer and teacher of home econo-
mics offers the following practical
thoughts on one phase of conserva-
ton.
Paper is at premium in this
country and as means of reducing
waste the fuel administration has
decided to prohibit it's use in various
ways.
The unnecessary wrappiny of food
will be prohibited it is announced.
Useless editions of books, the pack
ing of candy in paper and the max
ing of paper toweling also Will De
abandoned.
This indirectly points to the fact
that if you buy package goods or
foods in cartons or tine you are saw
| ing the paper which necessarily
must be used on bulk foods. Every
woman who has opened and put
away bulk butter and lard knows
there is also waste of food in this
plan of bulk buying.
This again may lead to the ques-
ton asked by a few, "Are the bulk
foods cheaper to purchase, because
one is not paying for can, etc." EV-
cry woman should be able to answer
that for herself. Package foods even
when they cost one, two or even three
cents more pound are more practi-
cal and cheaper in the end, because
of their absolute cleanliness, better
flavor, uniform weight and elimina-
ton of waste.
1--WE don't care whether they wraT
our packages or not said a proml-
nent club woman in attendance al
one of my lectures recently. ''In fact
we are proud to let the labels show
when we are buying quality products
and are glad to carry packages home
unwrapped if it will help any in win
ming the war If the saving of paper
is patriotic we can be counted to hell
it along every day."
Of course, we all realize now thai
we must be saving in the use of al
commodities so as to release all labor
employed in the making of non-esaen
tails These workers can speed VI
production of food, clothing an(
munitions and so hasten the end o.
the conflict.

NEW BLoUsEs.

Almost all the new blouses of tub
materials have wide and deep collars,
which outline the V neck, opening
down to it's point, and then slope out
ward to the shoulder, falling well
down the back of the blouse. Many
of these new blouses are a maze OF
intricate pintucking, the tiny tucks
crossing each other in groups to
make a sort of plaid effect. There is
much variety in the arrangement OF
these tucks, and the woman who car
do fine dand tucking in sheer batiste
may evolve a distinguished blouse al
trifing expense.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS


When sewing on hooks try spread
ing wide the rings through which the
thread IS passed, and the hooks will
IeE-z pull out of place if we'll sewed.
Milk is a food.
Buy at least a pint day for every
member of the family. Not other
foods can take its place for inval-
ids and children. Save on fat, wheat,
sugar, meat-but NOT ON MILK.
Use all of the nilk-waste no part
o. it. Use skinned milk for cook
ing. Serve the top milk with break
fast foods and buildings. Use sour
milk in making mullins. griddle cakes
or cottage cheese. Save the whey
for breadnaking.

The aim of raising $4,000 instead OF
a less amount is that the ambulance

Connecticut, in common with al
other states of the Union, has beer
called upon to contribute her quota

AMERICANS
CHECK HUNS
Hurl the Germans Back Across
the Marne
U. S. GUNNERS DO MODIFY
American Troops Given Credit For
Not Only Holding the Germans Back,
But Driving Them From Posi-
tons They Had Taken.

American Army in Picardy.
can troops cooperating with the
French west of Chateau-Thierry, north
of the Marine, the nearest and most
critical point to Paris reached by the
enemy, have brilliantly checked the
onrushing Germans, beating off repeat
ed attacks and inflicting severe losses,
thus adding to the glory Of American
history.
The troops began to arrive on the
battlefront on Saturday and par
ticipated in the fighting almost imme-
diately They not only repulsed the
Germans at every point at which they
were engaged, but took prisoners, with
out having any prisoners in turn taken
by the Germans.
The Americans entered the battle
enthusiastically, eager to fight, after
long march. On their way to the
battle lines they were cheered by the
crowds in the villages through which
they passed. Their victorious stand
with their gallant French allies so
soon after entering the line has cleo
trified all France.
The work of the American machine
gunners was particularly noteworthy.
There was at least one instance where
an entire attacking party was wiped
out.
Owing to the ferceness of the bat
tie, it has been difficult to verify de-
tails, but there were instances of the
stiffest of hand-to-hand fighting. In
this the Americans acquitted them
selves in a manner which won the
greatest praise from their French COM
rades.

Survivors Tell of Fight With
Storm and Death
AN EMPTY BOAT RlDDLED
Nineteen Survivors Landed At Lewes
Bring a Narrowing Tale OF the
Sea-Caught In Storm, Their
Little Boat Capsized.

New York.-The toll of dead and
missing from the raid of German sub
marines against shipping off the
American Coast apparently stands at
So, all from the steamship Carolina, of
the New York and Porto Rico line.
Sixteen of this number are known
to have persisted when one of the
ships boats capsized in storm Sun
day night after the vessel had been
sunk The fate of the others is not
known but it is hoped they have been
picked up by a passing ship and will
reach shore safely.
Officials of the company have placed
the number of passengers aboard of
Carolina when she was attacked 1875
miles off Sandy Hook at 220 and the
crew at 100, making $50 in all.
Captain Barbour of the Carolina re-
ported to the company that he was on
board the schooner Eva B. Douglass
with $50 passengers and 81 of the
crew.
A boat containing % survivors,, 81
passengers and of the crew, arrived
at Atlantic City.
Another lifeboat with is passengers
and one member of the crew arrived
at Lewes, Del, with the report that Is
of the IS, who had started from the
ship, had lost their lives in the storm
Sunday night. If the company's fig
ures, as to the number aboard, the ILL
starred liner are correct, this leaves
AZ unaccounted for. That number
might have been crowded into one life
boat. The only possible clue to their
fate was found in the fact that an
empty boat marked with the name of
the Carolina was picked up at sea by a
British steamship. 1t had every evil
dence of having been riddled by gun
fire 1t may have carried the pas
sengers and sailors who still are miss
ing
There was no official confirmation
of a report that several bodies had
been washed ashore at Beach Haven,
N. J. The commander of the coast
guard at that point refused either to
deny or confirm the report and re-
ferred all inquiries to the Navy De-
partment.
