mules and a beautiful Sunday morning.
The preacher admonished Sambo to be
cautious, not to lose his head. nor pour
forth his curses upon the brute creatures
which the Lord had entrusted to his
hands. Finally the elder was going to
be too late for his meeting, and told
SambO that he might let out a 'ieetle.'
This Sambo proceeded to do with vigor
and facility. Instantly the mules under
stood and the balky brutes made good
their pace for the meetin house. Few
have heard the postscript. The next Sun
same hill and the same turn in the road
with the same old balk Again Sambo was
worried. Again he muttered in silence.
But this time the preacher took the retns,
and this is what Sambo heard. You
poor, miserable, contemplate, corrupters
of public decency! Yoy low-lived, long
cared, four-legged. rhinocerous-h ided
sIumgunion! You degraded, debauched,
degenerate diabolical demons of the
damned! You fippant fantastic, fulmi

You hoorish, ill-bred, male-believe, ban

THE 18TH DIVISION

The Sons of Pennsylvania
Have fallen into line
And formed great Division.
Disregarding Father Time.
There are fathers, sons and brothers
From the famous Keystone State,
And they're going to lead all others
Into the jaws of grim, dark fate
Some are old with years of service
Years they gave to Uncle Sam.
Some are young and may be famous,
For they'll do the best they can
These brave men are all united,
For a great and humane cause:
To eradicate monster
And uphold our rights and laws.
Pennsylvania will be proud
or the glowing reputation
That will always enshroud

 ''Four days ago. and again and again prior to that time, 1 said that this war ought to be fought through until we secured the unconditional surrender of Germany and her vas sal allies-Austria and Turkey. To this statement I unqualifiedly ad- here.

Dandruff Surely
 Destroys The Hair

Girls-if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by al! means get rid of dandruff,. for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you don't
 It doesn't do mucl, good to try to brush or wash it out The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when re- tiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruf will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dis solve and entirely destroy every single sign a.d trace of it. You will find, too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop. and your hair will look and feel hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. This simple remedy never fails.

 MaretZ fell early and the British reached Busigny and passed quickly through Bohain.
 These are only a few of more than a score of towns captured. Many thousands of prisoners and quantities of field and machine guns were taken as well as vast stores of other booty which the enemy did not have time to blow up or set afire.

 The Germans may try to make a stand on their partly completed line at Le Cateau but they have been badly punished and they face an over- whe Inning disaster.
