Seventeen million people bought Liberty bonds OF
the third issue That is an even more encouraging fact
than that the loan oyersubscrbed by billion or
more. Each successive bond campaign has witnessed
considerable increase in the number Of investors and
the next will without doubt see an even more
pronounced expansion. This is in marked contrast with
the situation in Germany where the war loans are car.
red practically by the corporations which are prodng
by the war, thus creating vicious circle which may
involve Germany in disastrous financial difficulties
when the war ends.

SIMPLE WAY no
END DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that has
jnever failed to remove dandruff
at once. and that Is to dissolve It,
then you destroy 1t entirely. To
do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, common LIQUID
arvon from any drug store (this
is all you will need), apply it at
night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t in
gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most IL not all, Of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications
will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign
and trace Of It, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and
digging Of the scalp will stop in
stantly, and your hair will be
fluffy, lustrous, glossy. silky and
soft, and look and feel q hundred
times better. adv.

PatrOnize the Bazaar

Sometimes we in Tacoma have been inclined to
think of the sacrifices we have made-the luxuries
we have dispensed with, the money we have given,
the sons we have offered-in this war for freedom.
Think for minute of all you have done of all the
Liberty Bonds you have paid for, or have still to
pay for. And then compare it for minute with the
sacrifices Of the millions across the sea, innocent
victims of Hun barbarsm.
Defenseless, they have given their all. Enslaved,
tortured, driven like cattle, they have been the
upon whom the greatest horrors of "kultur's'
bloOd-lust have fallen.
death of honor on the battle field is not great
er sacrifice than this.
The dumb grief of the aged the bitter tears of
maidens, the cries of helpless children
Are you mad clear thru-war mad?
Do you feel satisfied with the insignificant share
you have taken of the winning burdens
Go to the Armenian, Syrian and Jewish relief
fund fair in the Stadium High school tonight Then
go again tomorrow night Take all the money you
haven't used for Liberty Bonds and spend it.
Get mad. Learn how it feels to give, and give
again, without expecting any returns to help save
humanity.

Shoemaker, Carr, Meath

There are three candidates in the field for COM
missioner of finance Shoemaker, Meath and Carr.
Two of them politicians. One is merely
brainy, college-trained administrative expert who
is very lame in politics, she is additionally play
ed. The one is Shoemaker.
Two of the three candidates have had expert
ence in managing county treasurers offices and
the same two have run for state treasurer, one Of
them successfully. The third man never has held
a county office, but he just gave Tacoma two years
of excellent service as controller and possesses
fine record of municipal administration in the
Philippine island cities. The one is Shoemaker.
Two of the three are mentioned in reports of all
manner of Grades" and IDEALS and "combina-
TONS" The third goes blandly on his independent
way The third is Shoemaker.
Two of them aren't saying anything at all about
what they will do if elected. They apparently
haven't an idea in their heads about Tacoma's
needs. They are thinking primarily about landing
jobs. The third has definite, thought-out pro-
gram he would like to accomplish as councilman.
The third is Shoemaker.
Take your pick voters; this is your election next
Tuesday. For us, We'll cast Shoemaker ballot.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

It is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently IL 1t is
entirely and properly cleansed
each time by the use of a really
good shampoo The easiest to
use and quickest drying shampoo
that we can recommend to our
readers is one that brings out all
the natural beauty Of the hair and
may be enjoyed at very little ex-
pense, by dissolving a teaspoon
full of Canthrox, which can be OBJ
tanned from any druggist, in a
cup of hot water. This makes a
full cup of shampoo liquid, enough
so 1t is easy to apply it to all the
hair instead of just to the top OF
the head. This, when rubbed in
to the scalp and onto every strand
of hair, chemically dissolves all
impurities. 1t Is very soothing
and cooling in its action, as well
as beneficial to both scalp and
hair. After rinsing out the lather
SO created, you will find the scalp
is fresh, clean and free from dan
druff, while the hair dries quickly
and evenly, developing a bright
luster and a soft fluffiness that
makes it seem very heavy.
