Help the shopkeeper Save Paper.

Your grocer does not want to offend
you. You must ask him not to wrap
mp package goods. Take a shopping
bag or basket with you.
Your merchant does not want to
offend you. Don't ask him to wrap
up small purchases. Have some war
pride and carry your package home,
lunwrapped with extra wrapping pa
per- or let him deliver it simply tied
in with a string.
Your furniture man does not want
to offend you. Ask him to use burlap
and cloths in delivering furniture to
you. He can use them over again.
Your hardware man does not want
TO offend you. Ask him to deliver
hardware without wrapping or take
it home with you.
All paper must be saved, to help
win the war The war industries
board has declared that we must all
save paper; that the production is
| only about 80 per cent of the require
ments for war industries; that we
must stop using many grades of pa
per in order that paper making ma
chimes may manufacture paper which
| is required to move food and cloth

Every bit of wrapping paper that
you save, every bit of paper that
you save, saves coal, labor, chemi-

Girls-Do You Know Why
Your Hair is Uqly

It's amazing how much pretty hair
does towards producing the appear
ance of youth and beauty so much de-
sired by women of all ages. It's really
a simple matter for any woman to
merit this praise since beautiful hair
is only a matter of care.
When your hair becomes faded. dry
streaked and scraggly when it falls
out badly and new hair cannot grow
the roots must be vitalized and prop
erly nourished. To do this quickly
safely and at little expense, there is
nothing SO effective as Partisan sage
Qiquid form) which you can get al
any drug store or toilet counter.
It's guaranteed to abolish dandruff
stop scalp itch and falling hair, and
promote a new growth or money re-
funded It's in great demand by dis
eliminating women because it makes
the hair so soft. fluffy. lustrous. easy
TO arrange attractively, and appear
heavier than it really is.
A massage with Partisan sage is a
real delight-easy to use, not sticky
or greasy. and daintily perfumed-an
antiseptic liquid free from dangerous
ingredients. and guaranteed not tc
color the hair or scalp. If you want
good looking hair and plenty of it use
Partisan sage. Don't delay--begin to-
nisht-a little attention now insures
beautiful hair for years to conle.-Adv

Your letter to Mr.. Gordon has been
referred to me. The announcement,
which appeared in your local paper on
Wednesday has created apprehension
in many Of our chapters. The article
is correct so far as it goes, but it does
not state that when soldiers leave the
camp. they have to turn in their win
ter caps to the quartermast er and are
not allowed to take them to their next
destination.
THE Red Cross therefore, furnishes

that MANY of thom will be present, but
| il is also hoped that many others who
are Interested in charitable work in the
| city and who would be glad to assist
in its promotion and become members
Of the Union will be present.
| This meritorious organization is Of

1t. and its predecessor the Howard
| Benevolent Society. reaches back many
years in the life of the city. During all
this time the splendid work has been
carried on in an unassuming but eff
feCtive way: the number Of workers
| has from time to time varied but al
ways there have been the faithful few
at least who kept the work Of the or
ganization going on, and what errands
Of mercy have they not done.
It has been felt tor sometime that
the work of the MON could be in
creased and its influence broadened if
it We're incorporated and its structure
reorganized OF course q constitution
and bylaws alone will not run any
thing and we always come back in the

could be found throughout the city,

see that the splendid work is done in
the best way and with the widest in
fiuence.
In this union. established for so
many years and with SO much expert
ence to draw from, with women now
connected with it who have almost ex-
pert knowledge as to what should be
done and how it should be done, there
perhaps is the basis of that systemat-
lied charitable and community work
about which we have heard and read
so much. and for which it is said there
is q neeu.
Norman L. Bassett, chairman of the
executive committee will preside He
has prepared q tentative form of or
ganization for full and free discussion;
suggestions are desired. Steps will
then be taken to put them all into
proper form.
In the future annual meetings of this
union should be as much a fixed event
in the life of the city as the annual
meetings of our Augusta General hos
pital Full reports should be made
and published so that the community
will he kept in touch with the work
The number of contributors should in
crease and the amounts contributed in
crease so that there should he larger
available funds to meet the varying
needs. and there should be more OF
those trust funds created. of which al
ready there are a few. by which citi-
zens. interested in this work during
life provide funds the income of which
is devoted TO the purposes of the
Union. after they are gone.
1t is believed that out of a reorgani-
zation will develop a larger and
stronger public institution.
