REMOVES ALL
 DANDRUFF
La Creole Does This, Beauti6cs Your Hair, Grows New Hair, Darkens Gray Hair.

Dandruff, or little scales of dust from the scalp and hair, causes gray ness, falling of the hair and badness. Most so-called hair tonics are too sim pie or not strong enough to cleanse the scalp and hair of dandruff, and that's why you have been disappoint- ed. La Creole is different. Apply it freely to hair and scalp and the scales or dandruff will fall from your hair and scalp in perfect shower, and after drying your hair your head will feel fine and dandy and your scalp will be clean. Besides, if your hair is pre- maturely gray or has tendency to grayness, La Creole will darken it up naturally and cause thin hair to grow thick and fact. All druggists sell La Creole, or sent direct for $12O by Van Vleet Drug Co., Memphis, Tenn.- Advt. "'''''

 San Juan, Porto Rico, Dec. 26.-The sugar industry at a time when the sup ply in this commodity is at low ebb, is threatened by general strike here of between 50,O00 and 6O,O0O laborers in the sugar plants.
 fingered by the refusal of the su- gar producers to consider their request for conference on wage increases, an eight-hour day and other modified tions, the workmen have forwarded an appeal for assistance to Samuel Com pers, president of the American Fed eration of Labor. and to Secretary of Labor Wilson.
 The laborers want an increase of 60 cents a day over the rate paid last year. Santiago Iglesias, president of the Free Federation of Labor in Porto Rico, suggests that unless the produc- CTS show a willingness to meet with labor representatives, federal com mission be sent here to make com plete investigation of wages and re- cent profits in the sugar industry.

TAKE CARE OF THE SUPPLIES.

The idea that only domestic supplies must be conserved to gain an advan- tage in the war is erroneous. Supplies for the army and navy likewise must be conserved.
 The waste of providing millions of men with the essentials necessarily is considerable; but good management can hold it in check.
 The British arc advising us strongly in this connection. It will be we'll to listen and act accordingly.
 There is nothing as innocuous to the enemy as wasted army or navy sup plies.

Frequently I have been asked;
What was the outstanding feature
of Joe Cans greatness ?"
And the answer is--brains and
eagerness TO learn every minute de-
tail concerning his profession.
The negro perhaps was one of the
greatest students of pugiiism In the
history of the ring; a youngster who
was a master even before he reached
the absolute crest OF his career but
who always felt that there was some-
thing more to be learned. And he
never overlooked an opportunity to
initiate or perfect any ring tricks
which other warriors were using with
success He was ever on the look

Cans, in this respect. should be
an example for any of the present
day youngsters. A lot of them, after
becoming fairly clever. fall into a self
satisfied condition. They think they
know about all there is TO be known.
They no longer progressively stand
