give UNIFORMS
TO SOLDIER BOYS
Senator Ashurst Offers
a Bill In Congress
For Purpose.

Washington. Dec, 14.-Give every
discharged United States soldier,
sailor or marine his uniform-and
with II ninety days extra pay.
That's the plan Senator Henry +.
Ashurst, of Arizona, wants the gov
ernment to adopt as part OF its de-
mobilization program.
Senator Ashurst knows that the
average soldier will come out of the
army without a Buffalo nickel to his
name, and that he'll have to buy a
suit of civilian clothes to replace his
uniform under existing laws.
SO ne has combined two objects in
one bill which he has introduced in
the Senate. II was the first bill in
troduced at the December session of
Congress.
Some New Uniforms.
cit must be obvi0us," said Senator
Ashurst in explaining the purpose of
his measure to me, that every soldier
highly prizes his uniform. Some are
so circumstanced that they will want
to wear their uniforms and save the
expense of an extra suit of clothing
after they are discharged.
Moreover as the years go by and
reviews are held, each soldier will
want to wear mis- uniform in parades.
In September, 1915, saw thousands
of Union and Confederate veterans
march up Pennsylvania avenue-the
same avenue up which they marched
ali er the close of the Civil War fifty
years Beforehand a f.iw of them wore
the same uniforms they had worn in
'65 which they treasured as priceless.
The geyernmentcan make no use
of discarded uniforms. and if it re-
tains them they viii only be moth
eaten and Destroyed 81
"As TO granting ninety days pay to
each soldier, sailor and marine after
his discharge, we must not forget that
we have taken these men out of gain
Hul occupations and have wrenched
them from civilian life. and they have
served civilization with courage and
valor beyond eulogy.
Would Cost S24O, ,OOO, 900.
1t will cost the United States S24O,-
100000 to grant our men this extra
ninety days pay, but the patriotism
of the people has been SO well proFen
in the war that while this sum of
money seems large, it will be cheer
fully paid. in my Judgment. 1t means
only $2.4O per person for the io0,-
0OO,0 people intthis country.
This payment amounting to ap-
proximately 500 TO private, will
give the soldier some means on which
to travel and replace himself in civil
life.
IL am going to appeal to the Ameri-
can people to support this bill by
writing their senators and representa-
tives. urging early and favorable ae-
tion on it,

of such work to be done. These
certificates do not have to be in the

make the insurance protection effec-

the existence of the contract of in

How Iron Is Timed.


Ques. Please tell me how sheets
of iron are plated or coated with tin
to make what is called Tin plate
Ans. Iron is first "pickled" by i'm
mersing It in dilute sulphuric acid,
then polished by brushing IL with
sand and finally dipped in molten tin
or molten mixture of lead and tin.
Daylight Saving and Coal Economy.
Ques. How did the daylight saw
ing plan the last summer save such
great quantities of coal as has been
claimed?-Ans. Daylight saving
idea is simply to turn clocks forward
one hour during the summer when
daylight periods are long, thus caus-
ing everyone to rise an hour earlier
and so make use of an extra hour of
daylight. Under this plan more peo-
pie do all of their sleeping during
period OF darkness and have practi-
cally all of the daylight period for
their work or recreation. In this
way, IL is figured, each person reduces
his consumption of artificial light by
one hour daily and this effects a great
saving in coal, seeing that coal is
burned to produce both gas and cleo
tricity which are widely used illumi-
nants.

A SHAMPOO WORTH TRYING

1t is not necessary to shampoo
your hair so frequently if it 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 ard may be enjoyed at very
little expense. by dissolving a tea
spoonful of Canthrox. which can be
obtained from any druggists, in a
cup of hot water. This makes a full
cup Of shampoo liquid, enough SO 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 ali impurities. 1t Is very
soothing and cooling in it's action,
as we'll as beneficial to both scalp iand
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 hster and a
soft fuffiness that makes it seem very
heavy.-AGv

The women OF Great Britain are

shouldered the burdens Of their
stricken country is in the munitions
and IL is TO their undying credit that
IL IL reported officially that the in
crease in production OF munitions
since 1915 has been from % to 20
fold and very largely due TO their
work. A pamphlet has recently been
