health, forestry, concrete and brick
masonry, carpentry, electrical me-
chanics, plumbing, blacksmithing,
house painting. band music, draft
ing, journalism, cooking and bak-
ing, etc, etc
The instructors are not only
competent teachers, but eminently
practical men, and are selected for
their proficiency regardless Of their
rank in the Marine Corps. For ex-
ample, the teacher of Spanish is a
corporal. who is a law graduate of
a foreign university, and a former
public school teacher. Many of the
trade schools are in charge Of in
structors who are graduates OF
Annapolis, Massachusetts, Tech,
Stevens Institute, Colorado School
ofMines, and other leading institu-
tions. Others have received their
training in such great industrial
corporations as the General Elec-
trio Company, the Standard OIL
Company, the Baldwin Locomotive
Works, and so on.
All students enrolled In the
Marine Institute courses receive
their instruction on an average OF
three hours for five afternoons each
week. all purely military training
being confined to the morning
hours. The evenings may be
devoted to study, reading, or tho
various camp recreations, such as
the free movie shows or the pool
tables.
We hear a great deal about -col-
lege life," but II is extremely
doubtful IL any OF our institutions
OF learning afford more opportu-
nifty for pleasant companionship
with real good fellows than does
the Marine Corps. For this branch
of service attracts the sort of n
man who has the makings of q
good fellow" Few colleges can
offer any better facilities for base
ball, football, boxing, swimming
and other athletic sports-all under
the direction of competent trainers
and coaches. And no school, unless
Il is a military institution OF the
FIRST rank, can approach the Marine
Corps in giving a man that self
reliance, alertness and qualities of
leadership which military training
affords.

"Tykes" Are Favorite
With Dog-lovers

The Airedale is the most ver-
satile blue-blooded dog in Amer
lea, judging by the large list Of
entries for the Westminster
Kennel clubs bench show in
New York. One hundred and ten
"tykes" are entered in 228
events, the top number for the
show. This also shows that the
Airedale comes close to being the
most popular dog with those who
love CANNES.
The Boston terrier runs high
on the list. Indeed, there are
142 of this breed in the West
minister show, but only 1856 en-
tries are down for the class.
There are 142 wire haired fox
terriers in 212 entries. The
fourth most popular breed is the
shepherd, with lis dogs in 1874
entries.

fully furnished in which the delegates
were conveyed to all parts of the
city, which the residents took great
pride IN displaying. A number of re-
ceptons and teas were given during

a success as the financial feature.

sessions, and states that the election
of state officers for the Rebekahs was
a very imposing spectacle. Mrs
Edge herself was elected state war

A Shampoo That VIII
Not Whiten The Hair

The serious objections to cheap
shampOos are that they contain i'm
purities and alkalis. They burn and
deaden the hair, deprive it of life
and color, make the scalp and hair
dry and eventually white. Only
natural blends of the purest and most
highly refined Cocoanut and Palm
oils as blended in Shuco Shampoo
should be used. Shuco Shampoo is
a perfect saponifcation suspended in
a solution that easily changes into a
bushel of rich, creamy, bubbling and
sparkling lather.
Apply to the moistened hair and
rub well adding water and shampoo
as needed, 1t vanishes all dirt, dust
and dandruff, rinses out quickly and
perfectly, leaving the hair soft as
velvet, light and fluffy. Your mirror
will tell you why Shuco Shampoo
makes hair with thousand lights.

When a doctor uses a medicine him
self besides prescribing 1t to his patients,
he must know that It has merit.
This is what DR.. J. H. Wagner, prom
inent physician of Skate, Kentucky, has
to say about DR.. Hartman's well-known
remedy, PE-RU-NA: 81 have used Pc
RU-NA myself for catarrh and have
given it to others for catarrh, bloating
after eating and other ailments. 1t has
proved a success in all cases with old
and young men and women. All speak
we'll Of PE-RU-NA. 1t is the best of all
tonics."
DR.. Wagner, out of the fullness of his
own personal experience, for the good Of
all sick and suffering, recommends
medicine which he knows to be good.
You may be sure a doctor would not en-
danger his professional reputation by
endorsing PE-RU-NA unless satisfied be-
yond doubt Of its value.
Whether your trouble be cough or
cold, or a more subtle catarrhal effection
