GO TO tint" PLANT
ONLY AMERICAN-BORN ARE EN-
PLOYED ON JOB.
Two Carloads of Pure Patriots Shipped
from Denver by the United States
Employment Service.

Two more carloads of workers left
Denver a few days ago to work in the
government explosive plant at Nitro,
w. Va, making more than $50 men
recruited for this purpose during last
week.
Restrictions tighter than those
drawn around the army itself limit
the enrolment of laborers for this
new plant, to which 500 workers are
being sent from Colorado Natural
lied citizens born in enemy countries
may be drafted for military service
and may drive munitions wagons,
work in hospitals, dig trenches or even
occupy post on the firing line and
go over the top with the American
born defenders. Nothing of the kind
at Nitro.
Not only is the German-born citi-
zen of America barred, and the Aus
trian-b born, but even those born in Tur-
key or Bulgaria, with which countries
we are not at war, are not permitted
to work in Nitro. nor are those whose
birthplace is Bohemia, which is our
ally in so far as its citizens can es-
cape German dominion and Join the
Czecho-Slo armies.
The capacity of the Nitro plant in
terms of explosives is not TO be pub
lished. Its daily output of INT and
other explosives will be sufficient TO
add greatly to the respect for America
which is now sprouting in Germany.
and it is easy to be understood that
no careless or untrustworthy workmen
are wanted. The lowest wage paid is
S4.12 day, and living quarters are
provided by the government at very
low rates.

The reflection and reactions of Keo-

Jas seen by the Keokuk soldier over
there. are indicated by what Ser
geant Frederic c. Smith wrote to his
parents here recently. He says:
real sight on our trip was the
Red Cross canteen where we had
coffee Saturday night, real coffee,
too, served by real American girls.
Gee, but it looked good to see a real
girl again, and hear some Yankee
talk and see good old Yankee smile.
The canteen had good old stars
and stripes on the wall. and a lot OF
the Liberty loan posters, and there
were tables where some French SOL
diers were eating their lunch.
The girls were assisted by some OF
the soldiers nearby and they told us
all the late news they had about the
scrap.

the Red Cross work especially for any

FOR GRAY HAIR
Well Known New York Physician
Gives Recipe for Homemade
Gray Hair Remedy.

A. L. Paulson, NJ D., who. has prac-
uced medicine in New York City for
many years, gave out the following
recipe for homemade gray hair rem
edy: "Gray, streaked or faded hair
can be imm ediately turned black,
brown or light brown, whichever
shade you desire. by the following
simple remedy that you can make at
home:
Merely get small box of Orlex
powder at any drug store. 1t costs
very little and no extras to buy. Dis
solve it in water and comb 1t through
the hair. Full directions for mixing
and use come in each box.
"Yo,1 need not hesitate to use Orlex
as a $4,000 gold bond comes in each
box guaranteeing the user that Orlex
does not contain silver, lead, zinc,
sulphur. mercury, aniline. coal-tar
products or their derivatives.
ut does not rub off, is not sticky
or greasy and leaves the hair fluffy.
It will make gray haired person look
twenty years younger

HAS THE FLU
And as Soon as She is Strong Enough

self With the Restraint
of a Perfect Lady.

Miss Carrie j. Starr, daughter Of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. A. Starr, OF BIZ
South Eighteenth street, is trained
nurse stationed just now at the base
hospital at Nitro, West Virginia. She
had the influenza. While she was
conyalescing, she showed her skill in
other things than nursing by writing
the following verse:
THE FLU.
I've got the flu!
Have you?
Yes; I've had it quite a spell,
And 1t makes me feel like-well,
I'm a lady, but I've got the flu.
When the sun was shining bright
l got the flu;
And | felt all hot and tight,
With the flu.
I would sneeze and then I'd cough,
Till nv head would near come of;
Then I'd madly spit and froth
With the flu.
But I'm feeling almost we'll now
From the flu;
Yet they say, "Just stay IN bed, child,
With the flu.
It's not time yet to dispense,
And you might get so much worse
Sure l think it curse
This here flu.
