PRESIDENT VAIL OF TELEPHONE SYSTEM
 ISSUES AN APPEAL
Employees Urged to Give Same Loyal and Faithful Service to Government
 as to Corporation

The government, having taken over the telegraph and telephone systems in the United States and placed their op- eration under the control of the post master general. President Vail of the American Telegraph and Telephone company, owners of the Bell systems throughout the country, has issued an appeal to all employees to continue to give the same loyal and faithful serv-
 ice to the government that they had given to the corporation.
 Yesterday Manager George-Knox of the local company, made public the ap- peal which follows:
 '-ro Employees of the Bell Telephone Companies: Under the authority or the law and by the proclamation Of the President, possession and control of the wire systems pass to the postmas- ter general as of August l.
 "In a conference held in Washington at which were present the postmaster general, the government operating committee and representatives or the Bell companies, the postmaster general expressed most emphatically his ap- preciation of the service which the Bell companies were rendering, and that such improvement possible to be made would be because of the additional power derived from the government He asked for the cooperation and as- sistance of those who had heretofore been responsible for the service.
 '"The postmaster general was equally emphatic in the statement of his de- sire to conserve the service and prop critics of the companies with a view of returning them when called upon so to do to the. owners in as good condi- tion as received, that it was his earnest desire that the owners should receive just compensation in the full sense for their use.
 'sThe postmaster general, until other instructions are issued, desires that the conduct of operations shall con- tinue as heretofore, and also states that no changes will be made until after consultation and full and careful consideration. To all who are identi- fled with the Bell companies. who have shown your fine sense of obliga- tion and your loyalty and fidelity to the country, to the public service and to the property in the past, and to whom the credit is due for the prestige and position of the companies in the public eye, it is asked, and it is not too much to ask of you, that same loyalty | fidelity and. devotion to service under | the new order of things. On your be l half such loyalty, fidelity and devo- | tion to service have been promised knowing full well the spirit in whicn 1 you would meet and respond to the re- l quest,
 | ITO do ones full duty in each posi- 1 tion is the greatest obligation rest. l ing upon every person, and is also tho greatest opening to future preferment

TROY MAN KILLS
 SELF WITH GUN

Troy, August 9.-(Special. )-Lawrence L. Pippin, prosperous young white farmer living few miles north of Troy, on the Pugh bridge road, just east of the bridge, was found dead at an early hour Thursday morning. His body was plainly visible from the road and was found by a passing negro. The sheriff was noti- fled at once and upon investigation judged it a case of suicide. The top of Pippin's head was shot away by the discharge of a single -barreled, breech- loading shot gunt. A string had been tried around his foot and then to the gun trigger, the barrel being placed against his head No motive is assigned for the deed, and his family stated that he had been perfectly normal in every way.
 Early this morning a kinsman had passed the house and called him to go squirrel hunting with him. MT. Pippin replied that he would come and for the other man to go on down in the swamp and he would find him later He then told his family that he was going out to shoot squirrels, and they were very much shocked to learn of his tragic death. His shoes were damp when his body was found, so it was evident that he had hunted around in the swamp for awhile before committing the regretted act
 MT. Pippin was young man about 8 years old and leaves family. He was man of excellent character and his death is much regretted.
 Mayor Frank F. Folmar has issued proclamation that all citizens of Troy, and the people of the county, are invited to cooperate, are asked for uniformity to join in united prayer each night at g o'clock for our nation, our men and those of the allies for victory, peace and the safe return of our men. At this hour all are requested to pause in their work or play and offer few minutes prayer The hour will be announced by the blow ing of the light plant whistle and the lights will be flashed off for an instant
 Walter Adams, son of Mrs. Bettie Ad- ans, of Troy, has written his mother, under date of July IT, that he is in hospital in France with fractured arm, but will soon be all right again. He stated that an x-ray would be made of his arm that afternoon to learn the ex- tent of his injuries. He is with Company G, 167th regiment, Rainbow division. He stated that some of the men of his com pany had been killed in the big drive since he has been in hospital, the 167th being in the thick of the recent offensive against the Germans. Mrs. Adams has another son, Joe Lynn Adams, also in France.

When You Hear Somebody Say: "Pve Got Your Number Wrong Number Whether Over the Phone or Otherwise

see if you've got "the wrong number,- or the right one.
 The wrong number" has a bad eff feet on you either over the phone or otherwise; 'the wrong number" makes you swear and cuss and think evil thoughts just as 1t did me few after moons ago.
 Really-there's a very nice little moral in this nice little fable, if you'll only take the trouble to see it as do; first of all, when you boast: i've got your number" be sure you've got the right number it will save you an awful lot of worry and trouble and unhappiness and believe you'll hold on to your religion longer and bind your friends to you with hooks of steel more tightly, if you'll only avoid 'the wrong number whether over the phone or otherwise,

To be possessed of a head Of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrOus, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandrurf is merely
a matter of using a little Danderine.
1t is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get
small bottle of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but a few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply a little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, flufIincss and an incompara-
bic gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-fine and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dan
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair at once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is molsten a cloth
with little Danderine and carefully
draw it through your hair-taking one
small strand at time. Your hair will
be soft, glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

SPECIAL BOOKLETS ON SPANISH
INFLUENZA.
We will send, on request, to any re-
tail druggist, 100 or more little book
lets, Just issued, on Spanish Influenza,
giving the latest information about
this disease-its history-the symp-
toms-the treatment, and particularly
the use of Vick's VapoRub as an ex-
ternal application to supplement the
physicians treatment.
NEW WAYS TO USE VAPoRUB.
In addition TO the usual method Of
using VapoRub-that is, applied over
the throat and chest and covered with
hot flannel cloths-Our customers are
writing us daily telling of their sue
cess in using VapoRub in other ways,
particularly as a preventive. They
melt little in a spoon and inhale the
vapors arising, or melt II In a benZoin
steam kettle. Where the steam kettle
is not available, VapORub can be used
in an ordinary teakettle. Fill the tea
kettle half full of boiling water, put In
half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time
to time-keep the kettle just slowly
boiling and inhale the steam arising.
According to Bulletin just issued
by the Public Health Service, DR..
Stiles recommends that the nose and
throat be kept coated with some oily
substance. For this purpose VapoRub
is excellent-just put little up the
nostrils from time TO time and snuff
well back into the air passages.

THE PROBLEM NOW is TO DIS

Most of this tremendous quantity is
still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both con-
gested nowadays, and 1t may be some
time before this supply reaches the
jobbers. In the meantime, therefore,
it is necessary that we distribute, as
widely as possible, the stock that we
are manufacturing daily, together with
that now on the jobbers' and retailers
shelves, In order that 1t may get to
the Influenza districts quickly. Our
normal output is about 1000 dozen

fore that is producing.
