Do Il and Do L Quickly

This country is disposed to look
into foreign appeals for assistance
with moro care than formerly. 1t is
right this should be done. We are
under no obligation to feed Europe's
lazy or those who rather fight than
work Like all donors we may as
wen act on the supposition that graf
itude vim not be received for what
ever We do.
But significant word is that but"
undoubtedly millions Of people in
those countries are hungry through
no direct fault Of their own, starving
and unable to help themselves in the
immediate future. 1t goes against
tho grain Of Americans to hear such
appeal and not respond. We have
the foodstuff but they haven't the
money to buy. We are not asked to
give them this outright, rather, asked
to extend them credit for it with the
likelihood that good part of it will
be paid back. If we are true to our
traditions we will not hesitate. This
thing should have been more quickly
done.

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

Tho only sure way to get rid of
dandruff Is to dissolve it, then you
destroy 1t entirely. To do this, get
about four ounces Of ordinary liquid
arvon: apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the
scalp. and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
Do this tonight. and by morning,

p;.eourao;no the Father Of lie.


If the father Of lies" is keeping
tabs on the reports respecting Russia
he. must be aware Of a rapidly wan
ing prestige.
A London correspondent Of high
repute writes that the truth about
the policy Of the Allies toward Rus
STA is evasive. He will be believed.
Correspondents who assume to know
all about 1t better be disbelieved, it
would seem.
Another correspondent who is tour
ing Russia persona grata with the
boIshevik regime tells of a delightful
banquet he attended where there was
a subdued spirit Of childlike enthusi-
asm. We may easily suppose that
any enthusiasm in Russia would need
to be childlike, but why subdued?
The pretext was made by those
seeking trade with Russia that this
could be. carried en- through the me-
dunn Of the cooperative organiza-
tons but Lenin says these have been
merged with the soviets and makes it
plain that trade will have to be with
Lenin & Trotsky.
The great underlying facts appear
to be that Lenin ind Trotsky are for
the time firmly entrenched autocrats
of Russia: that they must have trade
ir order to continue that power; that
they are willing to offer all kinds OF
inducement in order to secure that
trade; that their inducements are
seducing the captains Of trade; that
Europe is in need Of that trade and
of Russia's grain and other commo-
dities. If these assumptions approx
innate actual conditions we may ex-
pect all sorts Of reports favorable to
the present regime Of that country.
all sorts Of sop to the conscience Of
the world that revolts against the
communistic deviltry which now
holds that wonderful domain in its
grasp.

A Splendid and Inspiring Sight
New York SUM

'ANS" YIN SUM
Today the municipal collection of
ashes is fixture in this town, but it
is a much more impressive, affair
than 1t was in it's earlier days.
Instead of two men calling for the
ashes six are needed to perform that
important function.
One drives the horse.
Two boldly enter the back yard and
escort the ash can to the sidewalk.
Two others assist in lifting the can
to the wagon box and help the ashes
fall into it.
Two more take the empty can back
to it's appointed resting place.
1t is a splendid and inspiring sight
to see these we'll trained men func-
ton in perfect unison in this notable
public service. Particularly it
pleases the taxpayers
Naturally the old ladies who can
not afford men of all work in their
homes still have to lug the ashes up
the cellar stairs and then carry the
empty cans down

LOST MUCH Time
Applebee Could Not
Work Steadily
Taniae Quickly Relieved His Trou-
bies and Hs 10 on the Job Every
Day Now

after what Tanlac has done for
me will never be without it again,
and think 1t should be in everybodys
home" said William H. Applebee,
S0-A Brown street, Westbrook, Me,
recently.
For the past fifteen years I had
suffered from stomach trouble, and
90 what would could get no relief
until I started taking Tanlac. I had
a full, distressed feeling in my stom-
ach all the time. My kidneys also
gave me lot Of trouble and there
was always such an intense pain in
my back I could hardly get up or
down. In addition to my other trou-
bles began to suffer with rheuma-
tism throughout my whole body. but
it was especially bad in my left hip
and my arms and shoulders. Why, l
could not begin to lay on my left side
at night, and If I accidentally turned
on that side in my sleep would i'm
mediately wake up from the intense
pain. My arms and shoulders were
in such bad fix there were weeks at
a time when I was unable to do a
tH1IiS anu when OlQ manage 10 work
at all I was in agony all the time.
"A short while ago read a state
ment from friend Of mine telling
of how Tanlac had relieved him of
all his troubles. and this decided me
to try it. Well, sir. I began to i'm
prove almost as soon as I started
taking it, and now I am completely
rid of my stomach trouble and can eat
just anything want without suffering
in any way from it afterwards. The
rheumatism has left me entirely and
I never have the slightest trouble
with my kidneys. l sleep we'll every
night and always get up feeling ready
for hard days work. am work
ing every day now and feel good all
the time, and as I owe all my pres
ent splendid condition to Tanlac
cannot say too much for it,
Tanlac is sold in Augusta by Bow
ditch Webster Co., and the leading
druggist in every city and town.

Thrift

What with Liberty bonds and
thrift stamps and conservation OF
food during the war the people of this
country, must be mighty stupid if
they fail 10 learn something about
thrift and exceedingly foolish if thoy
fail to derive some satisfaction there
from.
This has reference to thrift not in
the sense Of luck or good fortune as
referred to by Shakespeare where he
speaks of thrift following fawning
and having to do with crooking the
pregnant knee for favors; on the con-
trary thrift in the sense, that an
sgwers to the appeal for saving, crooks
no knee, for it stands erect on its own
legs and looks it's fellows in the eye
and wheedles no man for the sake Of
existence.
Thrift is one of the accomplish
ments which the American people
are not likelyto overdo so there need
be little apprehension because the
national Treasury Department has
designated the first week in March
as Thrift Week." and is trying to
get the teachers in the public schools
they have SO few matters to look
after and are so well acquainted, per-
force, with thrift-to inculcate some
idea Of the Importance of Saving
before spending"

At the Rainhow's End

I have gazed on the beautiful rainbow.

And wondered If truth there was in II
Eat the end is a pot Of gold"
Seems it's filed with smiles of the an
gels.
Who are glad when I follow the trail.
And sparkleS with tears in the heavens
When oft on the pathway l fail
I have tried to follow its promise,
To keep it ever in sight,
But sometimes it fades from my vision
Seems lost in the darkness of night.
Nv spirit grows weary with travel.
The rainbow seems far overhead
It's coAprS fade into dimness,
My feet are weighted with lead.
The way gets all twisted and stony,
am filled with heart ache, and sore:
Then / pray for my beautiful rainbow
And ask for it's comfort once more.
Once again it flashes above me.
And lures me on with its smile;
I trust again in its promise,
"Alrs well in the After Awhile"
I feel the caress Of it's beauty,
I promise to follow it's bend,
With faith in my heart to find there
