the outset of the war the Medical corps was jumped from a personnel of S33 surgeons and doctors, S6 den lists, 62 veterinarians, 1S1 contract surgeons and 403 nurses to 30,591 doctors and surgeons, 4,620 dentists, POOP veterinarians, 939 contract sur geons and 21 ,4S0 nurses. In addition there were two new services created, the sanitary corps with 2,919 officers and the ambulance service with 209 officers and the enlisted personnel of the Medical corps was expanded from 6,619 on April 1, 1917 to 2S1, 341 on November 15, 1918. Three nurses were wounded in action ana 266 died during the war. In all there were 10,245 nurses in the service overseas.
 In spite of some partisan criticisms the army is going ahead with the re- habtlitation of the wounded soldiers, sailors and marines.
 A great deal of va1orous work was done during the war by the officers and enlisted personnel of the corps. but the greatest asset that has devel- oped to the country and civilization from their work has been the detail with which data and experience have been collected and compiled.
 In the case of limb or nerve treat ment alone the medical profession has had a better opportunity for ob- servation during the recent war than would be available to 1t in half a century through industrial and other peace time accidents and diseases.
 The result of all these observations will be placed at the disposal of the medical profession and great ad- vances in treatments and methods are expected as a result of the work Of the military doctors

Hair Often Ruined
BY Washing With Soap

Soap should be used very carefully,
il you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Most soaps and prepared
Ehampoos contain too much alkali.
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 greaseless). and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub
1t 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 it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy. it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.-Adv.

Travis told of the entrance of the
Rainbow division into the war at the
time when the Germans thought they
were almost to reach Paris and of the
turning point of the war. He told of
the Smelling of tn? German trenches
and of the flight of the enemy when
he said he disagreed with the general
in command in that he thought they
should have been mounted in automo-
b1leS so that they could have kept up
with the fleeing Hun when he started
to retreat. He told also of the en-
trance of the Rainbow division into
the Argonne Forest battle just as the
35th were coming out and said that
his men had buried many of that di-
vision, the best they could.

ASK YOUR NEIGHBOR

1t has been said that there is now
hardly city, town or village in this
country wherein some woman does
not reside who has found health in
that good, old-fashioned remedy,
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound. Therefore, if you are suffer-
ing from some ailment, and hardly
know what to do for it, and have tried
other remedies without help, ask your
neighbor if she has ever used Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
If she herself has never had the need
for it, undoubtedly she knows others
who were just in your condition and
who have been restored to health by
its observation-disclosures.

SKlLLFUL PIECE OF WORK

Not long neo II was discovered that
the piers of the combined highway and
railroad bridge across the Missouri
river NJ ~, Joseph, Mo, were In bad
condition and II would he necessary
to build new piers. Al first II was
proposed To build the new piers on
the downstream side Of the old bridge
and shift the bridge laterally TO the
new position, In this way maintaining
traffic over the old bridge while the
new construction was going on. But
the war department required the in.

bridge and so II was decided TO build
the new piers between the old piers.
After they were completed, the fixed
spans ~ the bridge were moved shore

the new piers, A temporary span was
constructed to MI the gap thus &C.
cnsloned, so that traffic was closed
over the bridge for less than ten hours.
Then work was begun upon the new
swing span. which was built ms a cnnti.
