The people of the United States
should save foods. such as -four. sugar

The reason that tho people Of the

Sure Way To Get
.. Rid Of Dandruf

There is one sure way that never
fails to remove dandruff completely
and that is to dissolve it. This de-
stroys IT entirely. To do this, just
get about four ounces OF plain. ordi-
nary liquid arvon: apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning, NEST if not all, OF your
dsndruff will be gone, and three Or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace OF it. no matter
how much dandruf you may have.
4 You will find, toe, that all itching
and digging OF the scalp will stop in
sitantly, and your hair will be fluffy.
l1strous. glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive, and
four ounces is all you will need. This
simple remedy has never been known
TO fail.

DEFICIT FOR BILLY
IF CROWDS DON'T
LOOSEN UP MORE

Unless the crowds which attend the
meetings at the tabernacle begin to
give more money to the collections
for the expenses OF the campaign,
there is going to be a big deficit, &C
cording to the statement today OF
members of the executive committee.
An appeal for funds was made from
the platform last night by Charles p.
Light.
Mr.. Light said that at the very
least $4,000 was needed, and that the
collections so far have amounted to
less than $4,000. The $4,000 Is ex-
elusive OF the $4,000 fund raised be-
fore the campaign.
Billy Uses PatbOs.
Last night Billy brought Dathos
into play in his effort to save souls.
His sermon, mo Man Cared For My
Souf' depicted the state OF a man
whom no man cared to help; a sort
OF involuntary state OF being for
gotten by the world. Billy used the
story of David. from which his text
was taken, to- good effect.
When he portrayed the death OF
a little. n,otherless, girl, stricken by
dfphtheria, as she talked to her in
fidel father ABOUT God, many women
in the audience were brought to tears
and handkerchiefs were freely used.
Billy also threw his audience into
a state of pathetic snif-sniffing when
he related THE story of a man who
waited thirteen years for the return
of his son. His story was equal in
Characterization to the first story.
Billy wound up his sermon with
stirring appeal for train-hitters, beck
oning in particular to the soldiers in
the audience.
Refers to Senate Row.

any Of the participants in the Senate

his compliments to the Kaiser and his

sermon when he invoked the aid Of

BY NEWTON c. PARKE.

WITH THE AMERICAN sRMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN. Oct. T.
Private Jacob Etter, OF Pennsylvania,
OF Dutch ancestry, is the first Ameri-
can soldier to hold a conversation
with the Germans over the telephone
since the United States declared war.
During the rapid advance of the
Americans northward in this region,
Etter, with six other priVatss, en-
tered an enemy dugout and Siseov-
cred a German telephone exchange,
from which the operators had fed.
Etter. at first supposed the wires had
been cut. but was much surprised to
hear voices in German when ne re-
moved the receiver.
Hears Officers Report.
The Pennsylvania understands
German slightly. and listened 10 the
conversation being carried on. He
also understands the enemy tongue.
The speaker evidently was L Ger
man artillery officer making a report
Some one said: Smelling us heavily
here" Whereupon Etter's comrade
snickered. The conversation paused.
and then the German said:
Some one is listening on this wire"
The German paused for moment,
and then questioned:
who is there"
"a couple OF Americans" Etter re-
sponded. Il hope they give you hell.
Good day"
One Telephone Less.
Slamming the receiver on the hook,
Etter then tore the phone from the
wall. and sat down to enjoy a hearty
laugh at the Germans expense. The
interruption in the telephone cOnnec-
ton evidently tipped the Germans on
to the exact location of the Ameri-
cans. and n few minutes later six
shells burst within a radius II sew
enty yards Of the dugout. The Penn
sylvanian and his comrades beat
hasty retreat from the vicinity.
Incidentally, this captured tele-
phone exchange represents but one OF
a few of the enem-r phone exchanges
that we have captured. The Ger
mans are so short in their equipment
that they usually withdraw all apTa-
tatus and wire as soon as We begin
an advance.

William High Taxes
Is Name Of Kaiser,
Declare Historians

Hohenzollern, the hated name
Of the ruler of the Prussian en-
pire. is significant in itself as a
name. According to historians
writing anent the causes of the
present struggle, the name means
high taxes, literally.
The first wilhelm HohenzolIern
lived in a castle named Zollern.
in Germany, from which he way
laid travellers and seized their
goods and money, often holding
them for ransom, as the present
ruler would hold Belgium.
Hohen means high, the histo-
rian says, and Zollern, the name
of the castle, means taxes.
