An Extra Large
Bottle of Farno
for One Dollar

For a dollar you can buy at any
toilet goods counter full 12-ounce
bottle of Famo.
Many hair tonics charge more
for a bottle that is one-third
smaller.
This means that you can use
Famo every day for little more
than half of what it would cost for
some preparations.
And Famo actually does what no
other hair treatment will do.
1t attacks Seborrhea, the cause
of dandruff, and stops the sebor-
rhean flow that causes the dandruff
scale
Famo ends falling hair and itch
ing scalp. 1t makes the head as
sweet and clean as baby's.
Famo contains no alcohol to
cause scalp and hair dryness. II
postpones grayness by making and
keeping the hair healthy.
The regular daily use of Famo
makes the hair soft and luxuriant
and gives it beautiful gloss and
sheen.
Every one in the family should
use Famo every day.
Sold at ell toilet goods counters
in two sizes IS cents and 81.

Sawed Logs to
Get Education

Coming to this city in June Of last
year, to take charge of instruction
in the public schools, Prof. Fleet e.
Ratliff has found that the schools
have had difficulty in keeping pace
with the rapid growth of the COM
munity. This problem is without
doubt quite urgent here, as there is
probably no other city in the coun-
try that has gone so far in a few
years, yet is so insistent on the best
in every department.
A number of additional teachers
were secured for this school year
and a business commercial course
added, for which large class has
been enrolled.
Many improvements are being
made in the science departments and
much new equipment furnished the
schools for colored pupils.
When the new buildings are COM
pleted, among other important ad-
vantages to be offered, it is expected
provision will be made for course
in manual training.
Professor Ratliff is Louisianian,
by adoption, having been resident
of this state for about ten years. He
was born and reared in Lawrence
county, Mississippi, attending the
schools of that county and the High
School at Lexington, Miss, gradual
ing from the Mississippi College at
Clinton.
Deciding to move to Louisiana, he
took the teachers course at the State
Normal School and has since been
continuously identified with the pub

color scheme of the grounds and tint
ings of the buildings forming de-
lightful picture that harmonizes and
blends with the background of the
stately pine forest near at hand.
So carefully have the original for
est tracts in this vicinity been pre-
served that guests may spend many
enjoyable hours in their exploration,
or should tennis, golf, boating or
swimming accord with the visitors
mood-courts, links and an artifi-
cial lake have been provided for the
patrons of this hotel.
On entering the lobby one is pleas
antly impressed by its spaciousness,
yet air of comfort, together with the
restful combination of colors the
decorators have obtained, coupled
with the profusion of chairs and
lounges, the guest unconsciously re-
spends to the sense of ease and cor
diality which is the keynote to the
hospitality of the Pine Tree Inn.
) The large dining room, with its
massive beamed ceiling, still further.
emphasizes the impression that the
comfort of the visitor is the man.
agement's desire and the commodious
room suggests that here may be en-
joyed many delightful dances by

lie schools Of the state, excepting a
postgraduate course Of one and a
half years at the George Peabody
College, Nashville, Tenn, being
called to the superintendency here in
June, 1918.
Professor Ratliff has been invited
by the Department Of Conservation
Of the State Of Louisiana to prepare
a textbook for use in the state
schools, on the subject Of Forest
Fires and Resorestation," he having
given especial attention to this i'm
portant study during his post-gradu-
ate work. He hopes to have this
textbook ready for the publishers
early in September next.
Like any other calling or profess
sion, it is hard application that counts
and even though a youth finds it nee
essary to saw logs at five cents each
to lpay his early schooling, as did
Professor Ratliff, the goal is more
highly appreciated when attained.
Finding the City Of Bogalusa a
most desirable place for home, he
has established residence here and
will be found aligned with the men
who are always ready to do their
share, and little more, for civic bet
terment.

POPULAR SLIDELL
CITIZEN is MORAN

0. L. Moran has been in business
in Slidell for twelve years or more.
and during this time has built up a
large trade in his line, which extends
to all the smaller towns in this sec
ton, as well as Bogalusa. He has
won a wide and favorable reputa-
ton for dependable and reliable deal
ing and is known as the man who
never disappoints. He gives person
al attention to every detail and as
sures prompt shipments to all points.
His business for the year just ended
has been very successful and the
first of the year, 1919. has started
off with good showing. His estab-
lshment is located across from the
N. o. G. N. station, SlideIl, La.

illustrated by the fact that it is pay
/ ing dividends of 10 per cent on in
stallment stock and per cent on full
paid stock, computed and paid an
nually.
There are many children in Boga-
lusa owning stock in this association.
BY making your child a present of a
Juvenile Share, paying fifty cents
down and fifty cents each month, it
is taught the advantage Of accumu-
lating by small savings the lesson
being learned in the character-form-
ing years and never forgotten.
Over one hundred homes have been
provided, all being sold on the easy
term contract, with an con or be-
fore" clause which enables purchaser
to make larger payments when con-
venient, thus securing a paid-up title
before the expiration of the regular
contract, at the buyers discretion.
Many of the homes sold have been
fully paid and parties now have clear
title in their own name.
To those who have given a careful
study of this selling plan, the first
thought is: Why pay rent and have
nothing to show for it, after months
or years of contributing to a land
lord?
The 1913 period has, for the Be-
galusa Building and Loan Associa-
ton, been the best in its history.
despite war conditions, and at the be-
ginning of 1919 all indications point
to an even greater business year.
A large hardwood mill has lust
been completed anc other industries
are turning their attention to the adj
vantages offered by this city, all of
which means that more homes must
be provided, as the city has advanced
SO rapidly that the supply of houses
has always been just a step behind
the demand.
Several bungalows are now in the
course OF construction and the archi-
tects are completing pans for num-
Der Of others of special design, con-
tracts for which win be awarded
soon.
Homes in desirable neighborhoods
and at very reasonable cost can he

Smoking rooms for the men, coy

provided with sun gallery, verandas
and delightful walks through the
grounds for those preferring.
Over half a hundred rooms, many
with private bath, and all luxuriousIy
furnished, in keeping with the other
appointments of the hotel, add to the
delight of the guest.
Mr.. Leopold Saux, the genial man
ager, came to this hotel from the
Grunewald Of New Orleans, having
been connected with that famous
hosiery for about twelve years,
hence is well known and popular
with the travelling public Of the
South. He has instituted many
changes and improvements, being al
ways ready to add features that his
long experience in catering 10 the
travelling public have proven Of ad-
vantage, in fact, the cordial recep-
ton of guests, their fair treatment

COLONIAL HOTEL
POPULAR PLACE

Situated in South Bogalusa, near
the several mills of the Great South
ern Lumber Company and allied in
terests, the Colonial Hotel was de-
signed and built more for the ac-
commodation of the clerical force, or
as family hotel, than for the trav-
cling public, although transients are
welcomed.
The structure is commodious, has
a large and comfortable lobby, we'll
appointed dining room on the first
floor, nicely furnished rooms, many
with private bath, and ensuite. as
well as plentiful supply of showers,
the object Of the management being
to furnish guests with homelike ae-
coDamodations and surroundings, all
alta reasonably moderate cost.
Mr. Leopold Saux has the general
supervision of the Colonial, as well
as the Pine Tree Inn, and has made
many changes and improvements
since taking charge. The location of
this hotel makes it convenient to the
theater, postoffice, park, the Y. M.

To all those who have visited the
City Of Bogalusa, it's superb hotel,
the Pine Tree Inn, is synonym for
the best and no printed eulogy could
enhance the favorable impression
made, even though their call may
have been most fleeting.
To future visitors a word may be
said regarding the location and main
tenance of this famous home of the
tourist. AS the plans for the devel-
opment of Bogalusa began to assume
material form and, foreseeing that
thousands would be attracted here,
either on business or pleasure bent,
the imperative need of first-class
hotel became paramount. In keeping
with all other projects where the
city's welfare and good name were
concerned, none but the best would
be considered, hence a hotel was de-
the reputation Of which has
spread far and wide.
Situated in a most picturesque
spot, sufficiently near the depot 50
that all trains can be reached with
less than q five-minute walk, yet far
enough away to be free from the
smoke and noise, will be found

rounded by spacious grounds that
