Famous Beauty Tells
Hair Curling Secrets

of the hot curhng-iron.' says Rita Moya.
1T means death to the hair eventually
Moreover it is entirely unnecessary. The
hair can be made beautifully wavy and
curly to any extent and in any form de-
sired. merely by using such a simple thing
as pure silmerine. This perfectly harm
less liquid should be applied to the hair
with clean tooth brush at night. In the
morning you will find that a very beau
tiful natural wave and curliness has re-
suited. and the effect will last a con-
siderable time.
The liquid silmerine is very beneficial
and is not sticky or greasy. Neither does
it streak the hair or stain the scalp You
need not get more than few ounces from
your druggist. The best way is to divide
the front and back hair into from four to
s;x strands and to. noisten each strand

GOV. ave THANKS ERIENos

II appears from the returns in the
senatorial election that Senator
Shields has been nominated to sue
ceed himself, and l most cheerfully
submit to the verdict of the people
as expressed at the ballot box. !
wish to say, however, that l waged
an open fight for the. coveted honor
and presented my case as best /
could in the brief campaign / made.
Il accept the result with no uu
kind feelings, animosity Or i'll will
for tn elector, who, following his hon
est conviction of duty as citizen,
supported Senator Shields. / studi-
ously avoided any interference with
the campaign of the other candidates
even to the extent of submitting to
unjust and unwarranted attacks and
criticisms upon me and my admins
tration. ! made no combination for
or against any man or men running
for other Offices, and can truthfully
say that no candidate lost or receiv-
ed vote by virtue of any trade or
agreement with me, and despite my
failure to succeed, 4 am not ashamed
or humiliated because of the result.
ITO the loyal friends and voters Of
the state who gave me their ungrudg
ing support and influence, without
promise or hope of reward. and to
whose untiring Efforts owe the very
complimentary vote received, here
and now desire to tender the pro.
found thanks Of a grateful heart. I
shall never forget their splendid
fight in my, interest and I trust that
/ may be permitted at some time to,
serve them as they have SO generous
ly and unselfishly served me. Their
in me as public servant
is more to be treasured and appreci-
ated than the title of any Office, and
to them I shall ever be grateful"

WORK ON SUNDAY

Certain judges in Tennessee have
refused to punish persons accused Of
work on farms on Sundays, but have
commended them for SO doing. Not
long ago the rural churches of Indi-
ana, in conference at Purdue Uni
Eversity, took the position tnat it is
quite right and proper to do farm
work On Sunday if the work is nee
essary to produce food crops to help
whip Germany.
1t is no more necessary to work in
the fields on Sunday now than at anv
other time. Sabbath work is becom-
ing altogether too common. Right
here in Cookeville various kinds o,
labor is performed every Sunday that
has absolutely nothing to do with the
food supply or winning the war No
good can come from Sabbath desc.

day to keep it holy" saith the Lord
