Timely Notes For
The Home Garden

The late appearance OF frost has
enabled the fall gardeners to en-.
Joy thoroughly the okra, butter
beans and other vegetables plant
ed in August. The September and
October paintings of lettuce, beet
etc., have also had a chance to
make a good growth and become
hardy.
The recent heavy rains suggest
the wisdom of making our fall
and winter paintings on beds or
on wide, flat ridges, to insure
adequate drainage.
The value of another garden
principle-that of planting seed
in settled soil-is emphasized dur
ing rainy seasons like this. Soil
that is freshly stirred is, as a rule
too loose to plant seeds in. If the
planting is delayed until after a
rain comes, the seeds are not
washed up and lost when the next
rains come. On the other hand
If The weather remains dry after
small seed are put in the ground
the settled condition OF the sol
brings up the moisture from below

THE hope Of the world is not alone
that the armies of humanity will
be victorious, but that the spirit and
purpose of our warfare will prevail IN
our victory The hope Of the world
is in the Red Cross, because the Red
Cross is voicing this spirit and pur-
pose that must, through the force OF
our arms, triumph. Just to the de-
gree that we can evidence this Red
Cross spirit of mercy and brother
hood We will hold true in the dan
gerous hour OF victory to the ideals
that have forced us into the trenches
in the defense of human rights and
human liberty.
The one sane and saving thought
in this delirium OF death that now
possesses the world is the Red Cross.
Wherever the storms Of battle
hell rage, amid the fires of ruthless
destruction, in trench and camp and
hospital, these soldiers Of mercy with
heroism unsurpassed are carrying the
flag of the highest conceivable ideals
of humanity. The ideals for which
our armies have taken the field are,
by these unarned hosts, proclaimed
10 friend and foe. in that unmistaka
BILE language Of universal mercy and
brotherhood In the terms of wasted
towns rebuilt, Of broken humanity
saIvaged, of dying children rescued,
of desolate families succored, the Red

war and proclaims the principles and
ideals that must and will in the end
prevail. Above the thunder of the

Alsali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully.
if YOU want to keep your hair looking
it's best. Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkaii.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greascless). and
is better than the most expensive
soap or anything else you can use.
One or two teaSpoonfuls Will
cleanse the hair and scalp thorough
ly. Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub it in. 1t makes an
abundance OF rich. creamy lather
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle OF dust. dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves the
scalp soft. ard the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
/. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der Of the family for months.-Adv.

THE HOPE OF THE WORLD
Rv HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.

the crash of fallen cities and the cries
Of tortured humanity, the voice OF
the Red Cross carries clear and strong
the one message of hope to our war
burdened world.
The black horror Of this worlds
crisis would be unbearable were It
not for the spirit and work OF this
mighty force, The normal mind re-
fuses to contemplate the situation ,
without this saving power.
It is the knowledge that in every
city, town and hamlet, men, women
and children are united in this work
OF declaring to the world, through
the Red Cross, our message of mercy
and brotherhood, that keeps our
hearts from sinking under the burden
Of woe and sustains our faith in hu-
man kind. 1t is the constant daily,
almost hourly touch with the Red
Cross work that is felt by every cltl-
zen in the land, that inspires us with
courage and hope.
Out Of this hell OF slaughter the
Red Cross will guide the warning ma
tons to heaven Of Worldwide peace
and brotherhood.
Because it is the living expression
Of those ideals and principles in de-
Tense of which we are giving our all
III lives and material wealth-because
on every field Of death it is proclaim
ing its message Of life-because it
keeps ever before US and the world
the cause for which we war-because
it will preserve US in the hour of our
victory from defeating ourselves-the
Red Cross is the hope Of the world.
