FORMER STAMP RATE GOES
BACK JULY FIRST.

Postmaster ]. Walter Payne has
received an official communication
from the Postoffice Department to the
effect that postage rates on all first
class mail matter will be reduced af-
ter July LIST to the rates in force on
October 3, 1917, the two-cent stamp
replacing the three-cent one and the
one-cent postal card replacing the
present two-cent variety.
The new Victory stamps of the
three-cent denomination, issued in
commemoration of the successful out
come of the war, is not intended to
take the place of the regular issue of
three-cent stamps, and will be sup
piled only to patrons who request
them. The design, which is in pur-
pie, represents a standing figure of
Liberty with a background composed
of the flags of America, England,
Belgium and Italy, the countries
most actively engaged in the war.

FEW CENTS DESTROYS
YOUR DANDRUFF AND
STOPS FALLING HAIR
Save Your Hair! Make It Thick,
Wavy and Beautiful.
Try This!

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful
Scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
of it's lustre, it's strength and it's very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Dander-
inc to-night-now-an time-will
surely save your hair.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store or
toilet counter, and after the first ap-
plication your hair will take on that
life, lustre and luxuriance which is
so beautiful. 1t Will become wavy
and fluffy and have the appearance
Of abundance, an incompatible gloss
and softness; but what will please
you most will be after just a few
weeks use, when you will actually
see a lot of fine, downy hair-new
hair-growing all over the scalp.

FORGOT WHAT HE NEEDED.

From the Republican, Mt. Giliad.
Ohio: 1.-THE editor had an interesting
experience some time ago, when a
young gentleman catne to this office
and asked for a copy of the Morrow
County Republican. He scrutinized 1t
it carefully when copy was handed
him, and then said: Now I know!
What is 1t you are looking for we

several stores and the clerks named
OYER everything in the line on the
shelf except 'Chamberlain's' I'll try
again, and I'll never go home with
out Chamberlain's Cough Remedy"
The Republican would suggest to the
proprietors of stores, that they post
their clerks, and never let them sub
stitute. Customers lose faith in stores
where substituting is permitted, to
say nothing of the injustice to max
ers Of good goods and the disap-
pofntment of customers.

CLOTHING NEEDED FOR THE
FRENCH REFUGEES.

Word has just come to Lake Di-
vision headquarters in France that
the need for clothing among hun.
dreds of thousands of refugees in
France is even more imperative than
food. That is the substance of
statement contained in the report of
fifty investigators of the American
Red Cross working among the 200,-
600 refugees gathered in and about
Paris. The report says:
Most of the refugee families man
age to nourish themselves on the
Government allowance and their
small wages, but they are by no
means able to clothe themselves. AS
the present prices of clothing in
France are prohibitive, the need for
this kind of assistance is obvious
Accordingly, we decided to give food
only when special nourishment was
ordered by a physician, but to con-
tinue to look after the clothing need
as imperative"
1t is estimated that the German
invasion of France and Belgium
made wanderers of 100000 for
merly happy country people of these
countries.
Now that the conflict is over and
the occupied territories of France
and Belgium have been liberated,
these refugees are fastening back to
their former homes in large num-
! bers. They have no thought of the
ruins, the cold weather, or their
condition as regards sufficient cloth
ing, only the longing to get back to
theff homes, occupy their minds.
In passing their ruined villages
and towns, they can be seen standing
in the doorway Of houses which have
for their roofs nothing but sheet
of canvas which Says under the

| from hole in the ground and in
vestigation of it's source discloses a
family of four or five huddled about
a fire in the cellar of a completely
wrecked home. The children wear
old blankets and the parents work
and sleep in a ragged patchwork of
costumes. To the Red Cross man,
who visits them. the mother says:
I'VE would not mind if we only
had a few clothes to keep us warm
while we worked. My boy has not
left the fire for three days. It's so
cold outside and he has nothing but
a blanket to put around him."
The gift of pair of socks by a
passing American doughboy to an old
peasant at Contains brought tears of
joy. The old fellow talks about his
socks increasingly. Another wears a
pair of overalls that were presented
to him by an American, as proudly
as If it were dress suit. OF food
they have little, but of clothes they
have practically none.

Prays for Red Hair.

At a religious meeting in Pennsyl-
yania youth asked the prayers Of the
pastor and people In order that he
might become redheaded. 1t seems
that his hair was Of a yellowish-white
shade that was no color at all. He had
heard the red heads were good scrap
pers, and he was praying the Lord to
give him red hair so that he might go
forth TO fight the kaiser. There's
something in this, too, and there's an
idea abroad that a regiment of auburn
haired Amazons could put a crimp in
the Prussian quicker than a whole di.
vision of mere chocolate-haired men.
