| A SHAMPOO WORTH TRYING

It is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently If 1t is en-
tirely 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 expense, by dissolving a tea
spoonful of Canthrox, which can be
obtained from any druggists. in q
cup of hot water. This makes q full
cup Of shampoo liquid, enough 50 it
is easy to apply it to all the hair in
stead of just to the top of the head.
This, when rubbed into the scalp and
onto every strand of hair, chemically
dissolves all impurities. 1t is very
soothing and cooling in its action, as
we'll 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 dandruff,
while the hair dries quickly and even
ly, developing a bright luster and q
soft fluffiness that makes it seem
very heavy.-Adv.

CONSERVATION NOTES

To those interested in exhibiting
canned products at fairs: In answer
to questions regarding the prizes Civ
en- by the national war garden
commission for canned products from
war gardens, the following announce
ments are made:
A national capital prize certificate
for the best canned vegetables grown
in war garden, will be given. With
this certificate, a book half filled with
thrift stamps is given.
II Is a little early yet to hold ex-
hibits and fairs where local prizes
will undoubtedly be given. but Oma-
ha won en-, are urged to continue their
canning work. Announcements in
regard to distribution of prizes will
be made later. Miss Maud Wilson,
state home demonstration leader, sug-
gests that women interested in max
ing entries, write to the state fair
committee on premiums and also to
the Douglas county fair committee.
On the state fair committees Mrs
E. E. Brown of Central City. Neb
is in charge of domestic products

Twenty-third street, Lincoln, Neb.. is
in charge of the women's department
and Mrs. R. D. Sutherland, Nelson.
Ncb., has charge of the fine arts ex-
hibit.
Miss Ola Powell, assistant in
home demonstration work in the
Office of the extension work in the
south, is the author OF book en-
titled Successful Canning and Pre-
serving" which is about the best
thing of its kind available. She has
recently made an agreement with
Miss Ward to furnish a copy of this
book as a prize for canned products
exhibited at state fairs. The prize to
be given in Nebraska is for two jars
of peppers, either pint or quart.
Women should send in any entries to
the agricultural hall, state fair
grounds, in care of Maud Wilson.
The two jars selected for the premium
will be sent to Miss Ward, the others
will be returned to the owners at
their expense.
Last Wednesday at a meeting of
Miss Killian's cooking class the men,
bers of the Comenius school canning
team, "Hoover's Triplets" gave a
demonstration in canning tomatoes
and plums. After this talk and
demonstration by Alice Barta, age
IL; Margaret Killian, age II; and Vic
toria Kuncl, age II, the class success
fully canned Is jars of fruit.
Because of the shortage of am
monia, the manufacture of artificial
ice has been somewhat affected, but
there are many household economies,
which. if practiced, will insure plenty
of ice for all.
The refrigerator should be kept
clean, the doors tightly closed and
the drip trap in place. The doors
should never be opened except when
necessary, and then for the shortest
possible time. No hot foods should
be placed in the refrigerator Cracked
ice should not be put into glasses to
cool drinking water, but bottle of
water kept in the refrigerator will
furnish a sufficiently cool drink.
Crushed ice should be served in fruits,
sea food, salads, tomatoes, etc. These
can be chilled in the refrigerator.

be changed to salts OF zine and make

The fact that the jars Of canned
goods after being removed from the

ly filled seems to puzzle some house
wives. If the water boils out Of the
jars it is not necessary to replace It
as far as the keeping qualities are
concerned. If the food is sterile it
will keep, whether it is covered with
water or not. Half jar of material
can be preserved as successfully as
one completely filled if properly ster.
ilized. The idea that there must be
no air in the jar is old, for if the food
is sterile the air is also sterile and
therefore cannot cause spoilage.

US. ARMY FOE MENACE
Americas Part in War is Already
Begun to be Played.
Pershing's Forces Aid Allies by Fore
Ing Germans to Hold Reserves
to Guard Rhine.

New York, March 29.-America's
increased military strength along the
Alsace-Lorraine border is exerting
what may prove to be a decisive in
fuence upon the progress of linden
burg's attack against the Anglo
Wrench line, by restraining further
movements of Germany's first reserve
troops across France.
Reserves Key to Situation.
The key to the situation now con.
fronting Hindenburg, Haig and Pc
tain is thu question of reserves. Both
sides must depend for renewal Of
activity upon fresh reinforcements.
If Hindenburg were able to bring up
still more shock troops and to slaugh-
ter them in large numbers as a fur
ther sacrifice to the Hohenzollerns
the situation along the west front
would cause much anxiety. There
are German reserves ready for such
a purpose, concentrated at Metz and
Southern Alsace.
Hold Hindenburg Troops.
1t would be fatal. however, for
Hindenburg to draw on them. II
they were to vanish, the road to the
Rhine Would be made into an easy
passage for General Pershing. We're
1t not for the American armies now
in Eastern France and the fast arriy
ing American reinforcements there
would be nothing to prevent Hinden
burg from throwing at least a quar-
ter Of million more men into the
Western combat at this critical mo
ment.
Americas part in the war on ma
jor scale, therefore, has already be
gun to be played, though In silenct
and without any large activity.

The charges made by Senator
Overman were emphasized by the ex-
hibition to the Senate of a bracket
taken from an airplane, showing ei-
dence of having been tampered with.
The bracket is used to hold the stay
wires running from the body of the
plane to the wings. Holes had been
driven in the steel frame and these
holes filled with lead As soon as
the bracket was subjected to strain
it snapped in two.
Senator Overman declared that
the crippling of the airplane part had
been done in the Curtiss factory at
Buffalo. The broken frame was
Given to him by a detective named
Leigh, employed in the intelligence
bureau of the War department.. Dis
