Dandruh is practically impossible

relieved, while the victim persists
in the unhygienic custom of wear

very few of US can muster the NOR

The evidence seems to show that

is thick and scaly, it is called sebor-

What They Think of School.

81 have just entered into the full rights of
citizenship" remarked a Rock Island resident
this week. I've taken my boy to school" And
how did his mother feel about ?" was asked.
And the reply was the expected one. What
mother has not experienced the pang that
comes with saying goodbye to the boy or girl
for the first day in school? Her baby has
gone. Up to this time she has been the instruc-
tor and teacher. From now on she must yield
to another woman, the first in long line of
teachers which the child will follow through
the grades and the secondary schools, on per-
haps, through college and university until the
child has the special fitness for his lifes call
ing Happy as a mother may feel that her
child starts to school in full health and vigor
to take his place among other, children she
cannot but feel that something has been taken
from her.
The relations of the child are more difficult
to obtain In this particular instance the g.
year-old boy was eager for the opening day,
not because he looked forward to mingIing with
otner children, or because he was to be under
kind teacher, but because he had learned
that he was to have desk all to himself to
be his very own The sense of proprietorship
and the desire for personal possession are
| strongly developed in children. A younester
manages rather we'll to keep his opinions TO
himself, but at the dinner table he may occa-
slonally let slip some news of the more hui
morous incidents of the day in which Tom
Charley or Eddie were concerned. Last names
are no concern of his. Intense dislike of
school and the enthusiasm for it both wear
away in time, and the new pupil comes to &C
cept it philosophically as he does going to he'd
or having his face washed things that seem
unnecessary, but things imposed by higher
Will from which there is no escape

however, that evacuation OF the American

Aasty and superficial conclusion.

even greater, while the moral or sentimental
effect OF the substitution might not be at all

The German people would rather have

United States and the German government and

MERRY MAGGIE sends us another version
of the j. c. Mary's lamb pome. Maggie's new
motto, she says, is -On to Cactusdom!" That's
a good motto, but may we warn her that when
she arrives it viii be well to be careful where
she sits down? =. Her version Of Mary's
lamb lacks Jazz. We are almost persuaded to
attempt an illustration of what a modern
Mary's lamb pome should be: as. frinstance:
Mary had little beau;
She canned him t'other night
Cause when he called he didn't know
The way to say goodnight!
OR this way:
Mary had motor cart:
She never, never cranked 1t,
But when she wanted it to start
She got right out and spanked it!
Or suppose try this:
Mary had lot of dough;
She banked it in her stocking,
And everywhere that Mary'd go
The interest was shocking
In conclusion this:
Mary had little watch;
She now be calm, l pray
Discovered that it wouldn't run,
So threw the thing away.
