HOW TO DANISH HAIRS
lFrom The beauty Ncws.l

Ugly hair growths can be removed
in tn" privacy of your own home if you
get a small original package of medol
and mix into a paste enough of the
powder and water to cover the hairy
surface. This should be left on the
skin, about > minutes, then removed
and the skin washed, and every trace
of hair will have vanished. No harm
or Inconvenience can result from this
treatment, but be sure YOU buy real
medol, which is inexpensive. Mail

SPEED IN PRODUCTION
ESSENTIAL TO VICTORY
Industrial Efficiency Will Protect
Lives Of Our Boys In the Trenches

Industrial efficiency and economy
will play as important part as mill
tary organization and genius In deter
mining the outcome of the war, ac-
cording to Frank A. Scott, chairman of
the War Industries Board, which has
charge Of government buying and SUI
pervision over the general Industrial
activity incidental to the prosecution
of the war. The preparatory stage OF
the war has passed for this country,
says Mr.. Scott, and the time has ar
rived when every resource, human and
material, must be placed at the dis
posa! of the government.
"If II can De said there has been q
preliminary stage of our share In the
war 1t Is over now" says the govern
ment's Industrial director. "Our
troops are already in France, and we
have begun the actual raising Of
huge army here at home to be sent
abroad when the time is ripe. We
have passed the period of expectation.
Efficiency and economy in produc-
ing and distributing the governments
requirements are as necessary to sue
cess as courage and intelligence In
battle. The Stacker at home Is as con-
temptible figure as the coward In the
presence Of the enemy. The luxuries
Of peace must give way to the necessi-
ties Of war."-Industria Conservation,
