Claims Dandruff Will
Cause Badness

II you have dandruff you must get
rid of it quickly-it's positively dan
gerous and will surely ruin your hair
if you don't.
Dandruffy heads mean faded. brit
tie, scraggly hair that finally dies
new hair will not grow-then you are
hairless and nothing can help you.
The sure way to abolish dandruff
for good is to destroy the germ that
causes it. To do this quickly, safely
and without risking a penny get from
your druggist a bottle of Partisan
Sage. This is guaranteed to Danish
all dandruff, stop itching scalp and
falling hair, and stimulate a new
growth, or money refunded
II you want beautiful soft, thick,
lustrous hair, and lots of it, by all
means try Partisan Sage. Don't de-
lay-begin tonight-a little attention
now insures abundant hair for years
to come.

The Home Garden

Every fall the Purdue university
agricultural experiment station re-
ceives numerous requests for informa-
ton on the control of bean and pea
weevils. Much of this trouble could
be eliminated if greater care would
be used in selecting seed for planting
in the spring. If seeds containing
weeyils are planted the adult weevils
emerge after the seed is in the ground
and later deposit eggs on the develop
ing pods. These and the weevils mi
grating from adjoining fields or from
the place of seed storage are largely
responsible for buggy" beans in fall
and winter.
Plant seeds known to be free from,
weevil is the advice from Purdue en-
tomolosists. Infested seed should be
treated before planting with heat, hot
water or carbon bisulphide to destroy
the weevils. The time of planting
seems to have little influence on wee
vii infestation, except that since some
adult weevils emerge late, beans and
peas should be FASTENED as early as
possible and after harvest the seed
should be thrashed or shelled at the
earliest possible date. In gathering
the crop care should be taken to
leave none of the seeds or pods in the
field, as these can carry the pest
over winter and furnish weevils to in
fest the crop the following year.
Weevils can be destroyed by treat
ing infested seed with carbon bisul
phide. Small lots can be treated in a
watertight Darrell, washboiler, gar
bage can or other tight container
larger lots in practically air tight
rooms. Sprikle carbon bisulphide
over the seed. using at the rate of one
pound of the liquid to each 100 cubic
feed space. In larger lots rapid and
thorough distribution of the fumes il
obtained by saturating a sack or cloth
and pushing it down into the seed
Immediately after applying the car
bon sudphide cover the container with
a tightly-fitting lid or with a heavy
blanket or tarpaulin and keep closed
twenty-four to forty-eight hours. The
temperature should be 10 degrees OF
higher, never below co. 1t is we'll tt
remember in using carbon bisulphide
that the fumes are heavier than all
and gradually sing to the bottom; also
that they are explosive and fires of al
kinds should be kept away. The treat
ment will not injure the germinatins

indicate that probably the commission
would not be taken into the matter,
but that the organization would con-
duct the fight along present lines

get others to give up their telephones.
Effort was made to get reports on
the number of telephones that have
been ordered out, or taken out. on

ably not more than half the loops were
reported upon, but those on which re-
ports were obtained we're very salts

Arrangements were made to get the
desired information upon those not

Reorganizing Postal Banks.

trusting no one but the government for
the safe keeping Of their funds. Tho
law provides for the payment of 2 per
cent interest on the amounts deposited.
However, the statement continues, the
government, because of the system,
paid less than ~ per cent interest,
and by redepositing at 2H per cent
made net profit over all interest pay
ments and expenses of $1.720.000. This
was sheer profiteering. says MrHays,
as the money rightly belonged to the
depositors. The government. Mr.. Hays
continued, is not in the banking bust
