Two Bits a Day Clubs, the
New Way Of Aiding the War

A movement has been inaugurated
in Phoenix, Ariz., for the formation
of "Two Bits a Day" clubs, the men,
bers Of which are to buy quarters
worth of thrift stamps every day.
Three men each took 100 thrift cards,
pasted one stamp on each card and
sold the entire lot before two blocks
had been covered. 1.-TWO bits" is the
old term, dating back to the early days
of the country, and is still used in the
South and West. Every patriotic
American now wants ito do his bit"
says treasury department bulletin,
The members of these clubs are carry
ing out this idea finely in doing their
1.-TWO bits" every day. 1t is hoped that
"Two Bits a Day" clubs will be
formed all over the country in the
great war-savings campaign.

Dandruffy Scalps
Lead to Badness

Il you have dandruff get rid of it quick
ly- it's positively dangerous and will
surely ruin your hair if you don't. Dan
druffy heads mean faded, brittle, gray,
scraggly hair that finally dies and falls
out-new hair will not grow-then you
are bald and nothing can help you. The
only sure way to abolish dandruff for
good is to destroy the germ that causes
it. To do this quickly, surely and safely
there is nothing so effective as Partisan
Sage, which you can get from A. A.
Howes & Co. and good druggists every
where. 1t is guaranteed to cure uan-
druff, stop itching scalp and falling hair,
and promote new growth, or the cost,
small as it is. will be refunded
Partisan Sage is scientific prepara-
ton that supplies all hair needs-an an,
tiseptic 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-begin
tonight-a little attention now insures
abundant hair for years TO come.
Note: Partisan Sage positively will
not color or streak the hair.

bad cold, serious Injection, Wnlcn
the extremely changeable weather had
made very prevalent. The sick indi-
vidual was ignorant Of sanitary laws,
as we'll as police laws, for he was spit
ting the poisonous contents Of the
cough on the floor of the car. Directly
the two we'll dressed individuals left
the train at way-station and the
woman, being somewhat crowded with
baby and basket In the seat divided
with another passenger, moved to the
place made vacant by the two men.
She carelessly placed her basket on
the floor in such a manner that it took
I'D a portion of the poisonous sputum.
The rest of the story is easily told.
The basket was carried home and
placed on the kitchen table, where the
food to be eaten raw would be pre-
pared for the family. The sickness OF
the baby in arms, and maybe other
members of the family, can be left to
the Imagination.
To keep we'll, our foodstuffs must be
kept clean.

TAKE OFF THE GLOVES,

DR.. George W. Murdoch, veteran of
the Civil War, and excellent authority
writes as follows:
To the Editor of the New York Times:
Is our government ever going to take
off it's gloves in handling German spies2
The Department of Justice stated re-
Gently and with apparent pride, that
about 1870 spies had been convicted and
imprisoned, but that none had been exc
cuted.
With thousands of lives and millions
vermin, is this practice to go on indefin-
itely? Are we too tender-hearted to use
the only means which gives any promise
of holding them in check?
l understand that under our present
espionage act Imprisonment is the only
penalty provided. If this is true, it seems
to me that it should be changed without
delay, or that these cases should be turn
ed over to the army for trial by court
martial, with summary punishment.
In every other country on earth and
during all time the recognized punish
ment of spies in time of war is death,
and certain it is that nothing else will
deter them.
believe that the prompt execution of
a few would accomplish more than filling
every prison in the country with them.
A term in prison with good prospects of
pardon at the close of the war, is almost
held in derision.
The arguments against capital punish
ment for murder are of little value here.
There is no question of revenge, or pas
sion or self defense The spy works de-
liberately for money and with the sacri-
fees of blood and treason that are now
asked of the American people, there is q
steady increasing demand that, in this
matter. sentiment shall give way to the
stern necessities Of war. ].

Fourth Assistant Postmaster-G General
Blakeslee urged the senate postoffice
committee today to take into considera-
ton, time, mileage and amount of mail
handled in arriving at basis of pay.
the present system of basing pay on
mileage only, he said, resulted in inequali-
ties. H. H. Collins, secretary of the Ma
tional Association of Third and Fourth
Class Postmasters, asked the committee
to grant more pay to postmasters at the
smaller towns. Senator Swanson suggest
ed that if these raises were granted it
might be found Improbable to operate
many of the smaller offices and that they
would be abolished
