Legion Should Help Soldiers

Sir-I have been very much Interested in
your letters on how to ind work for tho
unemployed, and believe many OF tho sug-
gcstions Will prove OF value. I would like
to make one myself. Would II not be a. good
Idea for the various Legion posts to get
actively to work to that none Of their

great influence in this city--in fact, every

knew Of buddy out OF work and would go
to any one of tho factories, stores or. in
fact. any place where help Ia employed. his
mission would be successful, for no one
would turn down m ex-service man IL the
case was properly presented.
Weuld 1t not be n good idea for the city
oHioers OF the Legion to call upon all the
service men out OF employment to register
at one or the other Legion posts, the one
nearest their homes, and then for this post
to see. during the spare hours OF the mem

the Legion feel that they have done enough

A Crude Oil Massage.

If you. in common with most Of
your fellow men and women, suffer
from dandruff you will find the fol-
lowing treatment most effective. If
you persist / am sure that you will
eventually cure the most stubborn
case of dandruff.
Purchase some crude oil. This is a
thick dark oil with a curious, some
times not altogether pleasant odor,

full of mineral matter which makes
II most valuable in treating the scalp
You will probably get this at drug
store. if not you will certainly get i,
at a furniture store, where it is used
for polishing furniture, or a paint and
oil store.
Heat this oil as hot as your scalp
can stand it, massage in quite guam
tity of 1t with the finger tips: or II
possible with an electric vibrator
| Massage for Is minutes, working as
much of the oil into the scalp as you
can. Let this stay on overnight. Next

With so much oil you win have to
use soap three, or possibly four, times
on the hair and your water must be
quito hot. An antiseptic soap is best
drops of any good antiseptic in botn
he washing and rinsing waters.
This combination of oil and Of anti
scpticS will cure practically every
case of dandruff. More serious scall
diseases, of course. require a differ

place close by where he could hide
them only until the harvest was over.
Then he would take them away to
one of his private storehouses nearer
his home. 1t would take too long to
so way over there every time he got
a. mouthful There were too many
looking for those sweet little nuts.
You see, Chatterer was wee bit
greedy. He wanted all he could get.
So he scurried about looking for a
place to hide some more nuts, and
presently he discovered an old stump
that looked as if it ought to have a
hole between the roots Between two
of the roots were some dead leaves.
Chatterer pulled them over to see if
there might not be little hole un-
derneath. And when he did that he
gave little squeal of surprise.
there had been one. But it had been
filled to the very top and it had
been filled with those DELICIOUS little
beechnutsi
Chatterer knew at once that he had
found a storehouse of one of his
No one was near. No one saw him
there. He chuckled. Findings keep
ings," said he, and chuckled again.
Nov of course he knew that he had
no real right to those nuts. He knew
that they belonged to either Happy
JACK lue ITdS vi ihuSts tHc
Fox Squirrel. But this didn't trouble
him at all. Chatterer, l am sorry to
say, is not at all honest. His first
thought was to take them away at
once. Then he decided not to. He
knew that whoever owned them
would leave them there until after
the harvest was over.
THE thing for me to de-" said he
to himself, lis to leave these alone
for the present and find another
place to hide my own. Then | can
get my share of those on the ground
and later take these away.
So Chatterer found new hiding
place and went to work as buSily as
ever, but all the time he managed to
keep watch of that find. He wanted
to make sure whose storehouse it
was. When he left it he put the
leaves back just as they were before.
SO that no one would suspect he had
been there. And as he scurried about
this way and that way looking for
the little sweet, brown nuts hidden
under the leaves on the ground, he
chuckled.
Some one is going to be surprised
one of these days. Yes. sir: some
one is going to be surprised when
he finds an empty StorehOuse." And
not once did he feel the least bit
ashamed over what he was planning
to do. Findings keepings," he kept
saying over and over to himself.
