FROM RED CROSS BULLETIN.

A junior member of the Lake Ar
thur chapter earns money for thrift
stamps by singing when she washes
the dishes. If she fuses or frownS
ne doesn't get any pay from Papa.
'The Missing Pajama Pants" is a
comedy or rather tragedy, that was
staged recently in Macon, Miss. When
the chapter there prepared its last
shipment it discovered that two pairs
of pajamas pants had disappeared.
Has anybody seen 'em? il.
A. D. Anderson of Alexandria, La,
wrote an article on "The Red Gloss
and It's Holy Work" which was run
on the front page Of a recent Issue
of the Manufacturers Record. "To
me the Red Cross work is the epitoI1e
of personal service" he wrote. 1, "1n
response to this appeal the souls Of
America will be laid bare. This is
the great fundamentally for the re-
lief of pain and death. It is the God
dess of Mercy, ministering unselfsh-
ly to a torn and bleeding world"
Riddles at Opelousas, La, held a
show on the lot of Friend Sandoz the
other day, and took in $5.07 in PEN
MES for the Red Cross.
Those taking part were: Ethel
Boagni, Algie Rose, Fred SandOz, Jr.,
Floy Edwards, Vida Robert, Ruby
Sandoz, Iris Robert, D, C. Rose Jr.,
J. Y. Fontenot, Fred Green, Thur
man Sandoz and Lawrence Stagg.
Hereafter all chapters in the Gulf
Division are to buy their wool FOR
knitting from the bureau Of supplies
of the division, according to S. J.
Schwartz, director of the bureau.
Material will be furnished chapters
as soon as possible after their requi-
sitions come in, says Mr.. Schwartz,
This plan will prevent wastage Of
yarn. There is great shortage of
wool at present, but the division has
not been instructed to stop knitting.
Eight nurses from Washington
county, Miss, have enrolled in the
Red Cross nursing service. With the
six nurses already in the service, this
makes the quota of fourteen asked
from this county. Three are already
abroad.
H. J. Jumonville, division account
ant, states that all Chapter requisi-
tions for refund or retention Of TWEEN
ty-fve per cent Of the Second War
Fund subscriptions that have been
received thus far have been approx
! ed and forwarded to Washington for
action.
Owing to the great number OF
these applications going to Washing
ton at the same time from all Divi-
sions, some delay in action thereon
must be expected.
Chapters will be notified from Di.
vision headquarters as soon as ad.
vices are received from Washington.

GIRLS! THICKEN AND
BEAUTIFY YOUR HAIR
AND STOP DANDRUFF
Try this! Your hair gets
wavy, glossy and abund-
ant at once.

To be possessed of a head of
heavy, beautiful hair; soft, lustrous,
fluffy, wavy and free from dandruff
is merely matter of using little
Danderine.
It is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just
get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine now for few cents-all
drug stores recommend it-apply a
little as directed and within ten min
utes there will be an appearance of
abundance, freshness, fuffiness and
an Incompatible gloss and lustre, and
try as you will you cannot find a
trace of dandruff or falling hair; but
your real surprise will be after two
weeks use, when you will see new
hair-fine and downy at first-yes
but really new hair-sprouting
out all over the scalp. Danderine is,
we believe, the only sure hair grow
er, destroyer of dandruff and cure
for itchy scalp and it never fails to
stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty
and soft your hair really is, moisten
cloth with a little Danderine, and
carefully draw it through your hair
taking one small strand at time.
Your hair will be soft, glossy and
beautiful in just a few Moments
delightful surprise awaits everyone
who tries this. Adv. TK8

For a month or maybe two,

Labor's scarce and needless rare.
Can't get steel, can't get fuel,
Still you'll get it, don't be vexed:
Maybe this month, mabe next.
Keep on hoping, don't say die

So your order, we're afraid
May be still bit delayed.

THE OLD FLAG.

(W. Lomax Childress.)
The old flag is flying boys,
The Red, the White, and Blue,
Above land that God has given
To all the world and you
The old flag the new flag,
The flag of endless youth,
The symbol of the stars of God
The harbinger of truth.
A high flag, a holy flag,
A flag that dares to do,
The winds of God are waiting it
The Red, ond White, and Blue.
It flies above the golden coast,
And by the eastern sea,
And shines amid the battle smoke
Of France for liberty.
The old flag is flying boys,
Above the brave and true,
The stainless flag, the starry flag,
The Red, and White, and Blue.
1t never failed to reach it's goal
For justice sake and ours,
And where that banners beauty goes
The bud of freedom flowers.
