MEN TO RETURN FROM
CAMPS AT RAPID RATE.

Washington, Nov. achievement Of
the American troops across the At
lantic has stopped entirely and demo-
bilization of troops in environments
and camps at home is under way.
General March, chief of staff, made
this announcement today, outlining
the war departments plans i'll answer
to the questions the country has been
asking since the day the armistice was
signed and it became apparent that
the war was over. He said orders al
ready issued would send 200, 300 men
back to civil life within two weeks,
and that when the program va: in
full swing about 10000 would Quit he
army daily.
Troops Abroad.
Fighting divisions of Gen PERISH
ing's army in France will be demo-
bilized as fast as possible in the1c
home communities. The chief of staff
would make no prediction as to- when
the first divisions would start home
It appears probable, however, that the
flow of returning troops can be n fun
tide before February. Some Officers
regard it as possible that certain uirl-
SionS may be recalled i'll a1valICe rt
the general return movement. General
March indicated that the And Grain
bow division, because it is is comDos-
ed of men from twentJ-s:E states ard
in recognition of their fighting record
it has made i'll France wCL!d re E."rk-
ed for special treatment. The t6tn
New England national guard) and
the 41st (Sunset) divisions are in the
same class, so it would not cause sur
prise, therefore, if these three Orgau
izations should be designated by Gen
eral PeEshing as the first to return.
With six weeks of 1915 left II is pos
sible they may be home before The new
years day.
Supplementing General March's
statement, Secretary Baker %Hid it
would o be necessary to maintain al
the existing environments for demObi-
Iization purposes and that a study was
now being made of those desirable for
that purpose. The others, With all The

THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Girls! Try it! Hair gets soft, fluffy and
beautifuI-Get a small bottle
of Danderine.

If you care for heavy hair that glis-
tens with beauty and is radiant with
life; has an Incompatible softness and
is fluffy and lustrous, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it imme-
diately dissolves every particle of
dandruf. You can not have nice heavy,
healthy hair if you have dandruf. This
destructive scurf robs the hair of its
lustre, its strength and its very life,
and if not overcome it produces a fever
ishness and itching of the scalp; the
hair roots famish, loosen and die; then
the hair falls cut fast. Surely get q
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
from any drug store and just try it.

LEMON JUICE
is A SKIN WHITENER
How to make a creamy beauty lotion
for a few cents.

The juice of two fresh lemons strained
Into a bottle containing three ounces of
orchard white makes a whole quarter
pint of the most remarkable lemon skin
beautifier at about the cost one must
pay for a small jar of the ordinary cold
creams. Care should be taken to strain
the lemon juice through a fine cloth so
no Rmon pulp gets in, hen this lotion
will keep fresh for months. Every
woman knows that lemon juice is used
TO bleach and remove such blemishes as
freckles, sallowness and tan and is,
the ideal skin softener, whitener and
beautifier.
Just try it! Get three ounces of
orchard white at any drug store and
two lemons from the grocer and make up,
q quarter pint of this sweetly fragrant
lemon lotion and massage it daily into
the face, neck, arms and hands.

Charleston Post.

CnafieStOn POSt.
1t is to be hoped that the food ad-
ministration of South Carolina will
not rest content with pointing out that
the prices charged for milk in this
state are too high. In a statement
published SATURDAY., the adninistra-
ton pointed out that the average price
in South Carolina is higher than the
average price in either of the neigh
boring States The prices in Char
ieston are not so high as i'm other
parts of the State, Columbia, for ey-
ample. but they have been showins. a
climbing tendency for months. and
dairymen are looking for. another ris,
shortly. While all will admit that it
costs moro to feed cows now, than it
did year ago, there is serious
ground en- which to question the re-
ceSsty for n continued raising of
the prices. MIX producers ana
handlers should he content with n
fair profit in these strenuous times
;ust as other food producers. And
the food admin ',rat:on should see
TO it that there ,s no profiteerinp in
dairy products just as it is cndeav-
oring to prevent it in the grocery
business
There would be no problem of milk
prices, Of course, IL the supply wore
greater, and everything should be
done to increase the number of milk
COWS in the State and nothing done
to retard the dairy industry, but this
does not mean that producers or
handlers should be allowed to band
together and charge prices not war;
ranted by the cost of production.
Mix is one of the essential food pro-
ducts, and thousands of children mpst
have it every day. The State food
administration could render vain
able service hy thoroughly fnvesti-
eating the milk 81 l.uation in the State
and thus find out what would be q fair
price to all concerned. Producers and
distributors should be got together
thelr expenses ascertained and a
price which would guarantee fair pro-
fits to all agreed upon. If it is tha
belief OF the retail division of tbo
food administration that milk nricas
in South Carolina should be material
ly reduced at an early date" it shou,a
get busy on the problem at onca

WHAT WILL RUSSIA DO?

fore one of the most interesting
questions that now confronts the
American people"
Mr.. Russell himself is very hopeful.
fe does not believe that the new
Russia will deesrt her allies The
fact that some things go poorly in the
government does not surprise him
half so much, he says, as. the fact
that anything goes well. This is par
ticularly true, he thinks, of conditions
n the army; and he continues to
snow in his article in Hearst's Mag
azine, which under the circumstances
amounts almost to an official report
on these matters, why the breaking
down Of army discipline was inevi-
table, and why ia spite of the loss OF
Calicia and Riga and a general de-
moralization in other sections of the
line the Russian fighting force will
come through stronger and better
than ever and play a dominant part
in the great general offensive which
it is an open secret the allies will un-
dertake next spring. These opinions
nave the value o. having been reach
ed through the personal observations
OF not only trained student, but or
one who by temperament and ex-
perience is particularly fitted to Judge
and appreciate the spirit Of the new
Russian social democracy.

CAPE FOR SUMMER
Daytime and Evening Wrap in the
Same Garment.
Materials Include Serge, Gabardlne,
BroadcIoth or Wool Jersey-Worn
Loose or Belted.

There is no question about the popu-
larity of the cape for the spring and
summer of 1918. A year ago, states
fashion writer, capes were brought out
In large numbers, but their popularity
was never very firmly established, and
a great many manufacturers who cut
up much good material for these gar
ments were inclined to be slow about
repeating the experiment this spring.
However, as the weeks have passed
the cape vogue has firmly established
itself. At this time 1t is the wrap par
excellence for morning, afternoon and
evening wear, and is developed In
nearly every one of the spring fabrics.
Capes for wear with bathing suits
appeared last summer and are again in
evidence for the coming summer, and
one of the latest uses of the cape is
that of part three in a set of boudoir
or lounging pajamas. The pajamas
noted, made of rich silk with mandarin
coat handsomely embroidered, had a
detachable circular cape reaching a
trifle below the waistline in the back.
The cape shown in the sketch, made
of one of the popular spring wool

How Do Men Break DOWN.

Be assured that there is no chance
Of your breaking down-although there
will be times when you will try to
fool yourself with this idea. This
thought of breaking down indeed il
one of the illusions Of mediocrity. II
is the excuse which every lazy man
presents to himself. II is moral astig-
matism. The great fact is that men
do not break down from overwork so
much as is commonly supposed. As
they go upward In the scale Of in
creased activity. increased RESPONSE
bilitry only acts upon them as a nat
ural stimulant and carries them along.
II hard work and worry killed men so
easily, most Of the successful business
men OF America would be dead al
ready. MOI What kills men is due
more. to what they take into their
stomachs rather than what they take
into their minds.-Thomas L. Manson,
In Physical Culture.
