Hair Curling Troubles
Are Overhead This!

Have you heard about the newest
way to keep the hair in curl? II not,
by all means, cut out these simple di-
rectlons and try this wonderful meth
cd. Procure a new tooth brush and a.
few ounces of plain liquid silmerine
from your druggist, Apply enough of
the liquid with the brush to moisten
the hair from root to tip just before
doing it up. You will be quite aston
ished when you find you have such
lovely waves and curls they appear al
together natural, instead of having
been artificially acquired Best Of all,
the waviness will last very much
longer than it would otherwise.
Your hair, Of course, will have more
body and fluffiness than where the
drying, smuggling waving iron is used.
1t will appear glossier and livelier, for
silmerine has proved equally desirable
as a dressing for the hair. You'll find
it pleasant to use, and it will leave no
sticky, greasy or streaky trace.-Ad-
vertisement.

and so amazing are the results often
produced by Vitamon that do not be-
lieve there Is anything whatsoever to
which this discovery can be compared.
So no matter how many tonics, drugs
or other preparations you may have
taken in the past with the hope OF
building yourself up, if you are still
in a weakened and rundown condition,
this is the surest indication that you
have probably never taken the right
thing. Not until you have actually
taken Vitamon yourself and watched
it's effects in your own case can you
form any idea of the vast difference
it may make in your health, strength,
mental vigor and physical appearance.
Vitamon may be taken by either men
or women, young or old, at all seasons
and surprising results are produced in
many cases within remarkably short
space of time"
NOTE: If after using Vitamon you
are not entirely satisfied with the re-
suits, and are not convinced that it
has been worth to you far more than
you paid for it your druggist will re-
fund your money, and the trial will
cost you absolutely nothing. Vitamon
may now be obtained in this city from
all leading druggists such as Thistle
thwaite. Daffler & Spanagal. Quigley's,
A. G. Luken.

Dinner Stories

Two men were wandering through
a country churchyard examining the
quaint tombstones.
Look here" said one, here's
oueer one: Sacred to Thomas Sit
ter. a Lawyer, and an Honest Man"
"Why did they want to put all three
in one grace for" asked his COIN
panion.
A clergyman was in the habit Of
going up to his little girls bedside
each evening and telling her story
before she went to sleep.
One evening he told her such
thrilling tale that the child, sitting
I'D in bed, looked very straight at her
father and asked:
Daddy, is that a true story, or are
you preaching?"
He-I had a realistic dream last
night.
She-Indeed! What was 1t?
ooh, l dreamed l proposed to you
and you turned me over to your
father
Yes, yes: what did father say"
"Oh, I don't know. I only know I
woke up and found myself on the
floor"
Where did you get these cigars?"
"A friend of mine sent them up
from Cuba"
Your friend certainly knows the
ropes down there"

Answers to Questions

SEVERAL READERS Several of
US talking over the recent war were
not IN agreement as to what happened
to the Gushing, an American steamer,
early in the war. VIII you please
clear up the point? - The Cushing
was an American steamer which was
bombarded by a German airplane
while on her way to Rotterdam. No
lives were lost and the vessel was not
sunk. In answer to the government 8
protest the German sovernmsn ant stated
that 1t was far from the intention of
ordering attacks by submarines or
fiiers on neutral vessels in the zones
which have not been guilty Of any hos
tile act. 1t accordingly pleaded mis-
take due to lack of distinctive mark
tngs on the vessel and recognized its
fault and responsibility for damages
done.
w. B. H.-How can remove chew.
Ing gum from a coat? - 1t depends on
the nature of the gum. Those kinds
IN general demand are made from
chtcie, gum extracted from the chico
zapote tree, native Of Mexico and
South American areas. If this is the
base OF the gum in the coat, it may
be removed by first placing over the
part OF the garment where it is a
piece OF ice. Let the ice remain until
the gum spot is hard and brittle. 1t
Will then crumble away under pres
sure, and rubbing of the sides of the
cloth together. If any remains after
this process 1t may be dissolved by an
application of chloroform

Thieves Frightened Away.
Two unknown men made four unsuc-

here last night. They succeeded in
running A. D. Douglass's machine out

Night Marshal Shoots trailed the men
through the rain and darkness, but at

Courage Still An Asset

Courage and bravery are no mean assets in a
crisis.
Witness the rescue of the crew of the SIS.
Inventions recently perfected to enable an i'm
prisoned submarine crew to signal their plight
either were not part of the equipment of the So
or did not function properly.
But that did not drive the crew into panic.
Discipline, courage and bravery possessed the
commanding officer and his men.
Driven from one part of the boat by escaping
gases that carried the menace of death, the crew
resolutely confined itself in one compartment,
resolved not to die until they had exhausted
every possibility of escape.
A hole was drilled through a plate, and a
white cloth tied to pole, to signal craft that
might pass. Then the crew settled down to the
long wait, knowing that unless relief came soon
death was certain Fortunately they were res
cued.
. Asked if any single member of the crew had
done any particular act meriting recognition, the
commanding officer informed the navy depart
ment that every officer and man had shown
bravery and performed his work we'll.
All Of them had been heroes None excellec
the other in the sterling qualities demanded tt
meet crisis.

Today's Talk
NOT LIFE-BUT LIVING.
BY George Matthew Adams

Life does not hang heavy on the one
who is interested more in living than
in life merely.
l sometimes think of death as some
thing that is worked TOWARD. For
we are all travelling toward it daily
whether we think of 1t or not. But to
think of it as something to be feared
or avoided (Which is impossible) is to
burn up the precious years that are
ours.
Not life-but living is the real ad-
venture!
Thrills are things which come from
within-from what We see or exper-
fence from without. It's living right
in the heart of happenings and being
a part of them which brings to us our
sense Of ownership over triumphs.
Few things are so constructed that
they can be saved. At least for any
length of time.
Even the great painting, the huge
structure, the most magnificent NOV
Ing city will sometime crumble-and
be but memory of what the past has
to say.
Mems lives-to the most active and
triumphant one-are all in the end
woven into an even story expressive
solely of what the age worked out
Like the tiny bits of sand which make
up the extending coast, so do the lives
of mortals make up the groundwork Oh
time.
We are important only as we
serve.
Not life-but living Is our task.
Let us keep right on getting up II
the morning, washing our faces anc
eating our breakfasts-and going tc
our several works-but let us not gel
confused as to the end of 1t all. Lei
us not measure or weigh our acts OF
doings and then stand out and boas'
their merit. Let us rather do and dare
and dig-and then come tired to ou'
couches-to rest for another day.
Let us keep right at the job-o
llving-and be glad and happy ant
helpful-so that the last sleep shall of
filled with sweetened odors and oul
long dream tinted with the rays o
the falling sun in it's setting.

Looking Forward Optimistically

Must not the calamity bowler of last spring
consider himself a false prophet in the light OF
developments lately?
Where are the potatoes that were to cost $40
BARREL sugar at so cents pound, eggs and
other commodities at prohibitive figures? Where
is the fulfillment Of those dire prophecies OF
want in the land, Of farmers unable to garner
their crops for lack of men, of production declin-
ing steadily in shop and factory?
None has come true. The calamity bowler
must stand abashed and discounted amid his
doleful predictions.
Every man knows that we are returning to a
normal status by easy gradations The pro-
ductive output Of the worker is increasing. He
has learned that, the greater his production, the
greater his prosperity and of all of us. Wages
are high. Employment is general, and where
there has been an interruption in the continuity
Of employment, natural causes-supply and de-
mand-have been the governing causes.
Barring an early frost, the corn crop of the
United States will be placed in the bumper class.

cultural statistician of the department of agri-
culture.
The wheat crop in Indiana may not have been
up to the standard of former yields, but Kansas
has reported the most wonderful crop in it's his
tory" And the yield as whole over the United
States offers no food for pessimistic reflection
by the calamity bowler.
