Raise More Chickens, Says
Uncle Sam

~ Meat can be produced from poultry more quickly
than from any other source One of the necessities
is to produce more meat than we have produced
before. Of such meats as can be cured and kept in
compact form larger quantities must be sent to the
armies, and the proportion Of these exports to the
total production in the United States is likely in
crease rapidly, as larger forces are sent to the
fighting front. -
The department of agriculture urges decided in.
crease in home production and the home consump-
ton of white meats such poultry. The great bulk
of poultry is produced not specialized poultry
farms but on diversified farms. The demand upon
the nations capacity be met by the farmers and
home makers of the country without strain and with
compensation in poultry profits.
"There should be 100 hens on every farm in the
United States" says recent bulletin. "We should
obtain 100 eggs from every hen. With approximately
100000 farms, that would mean 600O00,O00 hens
and 60O00,000,000 eggs per year. That number Of
eggs constitutes a military resource not to be ig
nored One hundred eggs from every hen is con-
siderably than the average egg production the
country over"

port the day before, which like most
machines from the front, was fitted
up with looking glass directly in
front of the pilot 1 don't know
what the big idea was but do know
that was not very enjoyable ride,
for looking glass is my worst
friend. And there / was looking
him right in the eye. A better chance
to view my facial scenery and es-
pecially the 'shrubbery" never arose
before and probably never will
again; so not being able to help my
self, since the glass was directly in
front of me, l spent that ride di-
agnosing my case. There was not
much l could do, unless cut the
whole head off, for with the gioggies
and close-fitting hood nothing more
closely resembling the missing

cided Immediately though, that a
serious operation was necessary,
which occurred at "la lone heure''

the missing forest" he wanted to
know what was the big idea and
whether 1 had typhoid-or only cold
feet, and advised my roommate to
keep an eye on me and see that l
did not cut my hair off the next
morning.
Looping the Loop
Received two letters from you yes
terday and one from a Miss Kelker,
saying she had sent a Christmas
box to me, which was certainly kind
of her. Here's hoping it reaches me.
Am glad Dad enjoyed my account
of my first trip through the air so
much. l must have made it pretty
realistic if he was expecting the
grand climax to be a smashed plane
and cork leg. You should hear
about my fight through a flood of
oil in Spad If you enjoyed the rain
experience. This won't require so
long to tell since it happened very
quickly and was more amusing than
dangerous, although 1 didn't see the
point until 1 reached the ground. L
was trying acrobatics in a Spad,
and having tried lot of stunts, en-
deavored to make a loop, something
very difficult to do with a Nieuport,
but a Spad very easily. So l gets
her going full speed, dove down a
little to acquire more speed and then
with a jerk pulled the stick into
my belly. Up we went and over and
then 1 cut the motor. 1t was

surely fool the Germans. They
wouldn't know what 1 was doing
and neither would 1, so blissful ig-
norarce may win again.

of having my soup strained, besides

That's what caused my roommate's
comments, for cutting off a mus

early hour not only made it brave,
but amusing, and aroused his cur
iosity as to the cause therefore. Af-

SAVE YOUR HAIR
AND BEAUTIFY IT
WITH 'DANDERINE'
Spend a few cents Dandruff dis
appears and hair stops
coming out
Try this! Hair gets beautiful,
wavy and thick in
few moments

If you care for heavy hair, that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy and lustrous, try
Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it i'm
mediately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice,
heavy, healthy hair if you have
dandruff. This destructive, scurf robs
the hair of its lustre, it's strength
and it's very life, and if not over
come it produces a feverishness and
itching of the scalp; the hair roots
famish, loosen and die; then the hair
falls out fast.
If your hair has been neglected
and is thin, faded, dry, scraggy or
too oily, get a small bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine at any drug
store or toilet counter for a few
cents; apply a little as directed and
ten minutes after you will say this
was the best investment you ever
made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if
you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful
hair and lots of it-no dandruff-no
itching scalp and no more falling
hair-you must use Knowlton's Dam
derine. If eventually-why not now?

SHE DARKENED HER
GRAY HAIR
A Kansas City Lady Darkened Her
Gray Hair and Made 1t Soft
and Glossy by Simple
Home Process
She Tells How She Did 1t

A well-known resident of Kansas
City, Mo-, who darkened her gray
hair by simple home process, made
the following statement: ANY lady
or gentleman can darken their gray
or faded hair, and make it soft and
glossy with this simple recipe, which
they can mix at home. To half a pint
of water add 1 OF. of bay rum, l
small box of Barbo Compound and
a OF. of glycerine. These ingredients
can be purch;Aed at any drug store
at very little cost. Apply to the hair
every other day until the gray hair
is darkened sufficiently. 1t is not
sticky or greasy and does not rub off.
II will make a gray haired person
look 10 to 20 years younger.
