Textbooks and War
THE MARSHALL MESSENGER

an interesting question concerning
textbooks and what slant they should
give children of today on war. Most of us
remember the heroes histories of our school
days made of leaders in war and the noble
motives they ascribed to every instance
when America sent it's armies to kill men of
other nations and destroy their property.
How different were these accounts from
those which children studied in countries
with whom we engaged in war.
Had any youngster dared censure any
war leader in those days or question the in
fallibity of American judgment as to when
it was right to take up arms, he would have
been branded by the class as totally without
patriotism, an object to be Stunned.
No trait is more admirable that love of
country and willingness to defend it, yet
that same patriotism can be used by the
greedy who profit by war or by nations seek
ing our help and support to bring us into
conflicts in which we have no justified pur-
pose. Civics classes may well dwell on pa
triotism but history should be debunked as
completely as possible that the next gener-
alton may be better equipped to recognize
propaganda as such and avoid the hysteria
so often responsible for war.

NO KNOWN DIET
WILL GROW HAIR
ON A BALD SPOT

Good general health and a good
blood supply is the best guarantee
Of a healthy scalp and attractive
hair, according to the Public
Health Education committee of
the Minnesota State Medical as
sociation.
For complete hair beauty
treatment, however, the hair must
be kept clean, too, according to the
doctors.
Ordinarily it should be washed
about once every two weeks and
more often if it is exposed to dus-
tiness or if it is unusually oily.
Any good soap or shaving cream
will do for the shampoo, but the
soap or cream should be thorough
ly rinsed out afterwards. Between
times frequent dry brushing will
help to keep the hair clean and
shining.
If the hair is too dry, a little
olive oil or vaseline may be rub
bed in but nothing that is rubbed
in from the outside will actually
nourish the scalp or the hair be-
cause the hair derives its nourish-
ment only from the blood supply
to its roots. Whatever is good for
the general health is therefore
good for the hair, too, though, un-
fortunately, no known special diet
will grow hair on a stubborn bald
spot.
Badness is occasionally due to
excessive dandruff or to other bod
lily disorders which can, to some
extent, be controlled. More often,
however, it is an inherited family
trait and unconquerable, according
to the bulletin.
Cutting or singeing the ends of
hair has no effect whatever on
growth or health. Dyeing the hair
is a risky business because hair
dyes are all made from q group o
chemicals that sometimes cause
severe inflammations on the fore
head, face and neck and even the
eyes.

Cold Weather?

A N INTERESTING topic for discussion
n on these cold stormy days when bust
ness appears to have hibernated is
whether the hardy pioneer had anything on
the present generation when it came to
withstanding the hardships of life, such as
long cold winters.
The fireplace, the kitchen range or the
parlor stove was the popular place in those
days, the pioneer venturing forth only when
the larder ran low or there were chores to
be done. Other work was confined pretty
much to the house or barn and dad put on
coat after coat over his red fannels, worn
from September until June, for the dashes
between buildings. Horses were assured of
spending such days in the barn unless the
need for the doctor or other emergency ne
cessitated their making the trip to town
where the village dwellers likewise consider
ed the cold spells a virtual vacation.
Today the homes are heated more thor
oughly but unless the roads are blocked be-
yond all hope of getting through, lots of peo-
pie don't stay in them. The family car may
start reluctantly but if there is road to
travel on, the young members of the fami-
Iy have it out and spinning through drifts
or almost through.
Where yesterdays youngsters wore
stocking caps, today's go bareheaded in any
wind. Dad wore beaver cap but the fed
ora is warm enough for his son-in-law. Red
fannels when laundered generation or two
ago hung before the stove half day before
they dried clear through. Compare them
with today's shorts and f1imsies.
We would never think of belittling the
hardy men and women of half century age
but they had considerably more respect fo1
the elements than we have.

Profit by Newspaper Advertising

" HERE ARE NO two ways about it |!
Certainly the easiest way to get the
most for every dollar you spend is to
buy products that you know about through
the advertisements in your paper. You
don't have to 60 out and look for buying op-
portunities. The advertisements bring them
to you. And all you need do is consider the
facts, compare values and decide on the soap
or sedan that best fits your judgment and
your pocketbook.
Certainly the best way to making your
money go farthest is to buy merchandise of
proved value. Advertised merchandise.
Merchandise that is bought and used by
many people. Merchandise that must be
superlatively good enough for its maker to
keep calling it to the attention of people day
after day and year after year.
This is the service-of convenience and
proft-that the advertisements offer you
every day. It will pay you to read them reg
ularly and take advantage of everything
they can do for you.-Humboldt Star, Win
nemucca, Nevada.

Thrift. Self Reliance Still Here
REPRESENTATIVE. medium

A REPRESENTATIVE, medium-sized
~ life insurance company reports that
it's sales during the first eleven months
of 1885 were 27 per cent greater than during
the same period in 1884. It says further that
the company has shown consecutive gains
for % months.
Scores of life insurance companies, lar
ge and small, report similar experience.
Here is the best possible evidence of the
fact that the American people still retain
those characteristics of thrift, foresight and
self-reliance that were handed down to us
by our forebears. A man who buys life in
surance, and, through his own efforts, pro-
vides for the future financial security OF
himself and his loved ones, isn't the kind OF
man who willingly looks to public sources
for help. Chronicle Telegram, Elyria, Ohio.

PayrOllS and Trade

EGINNING the first week in January,
X The Gazette inaugurated the not orr
- ginal, but new as far as Redwood Falls
is concerned, practice of paying salaries
with checks in five dollar and smaller de-
nominations, the idea being to bring to the
attention of fellow business men the extent
of our payroll and how generally they bene-
fit by it directly and indirectly.
At the end of the month, transactions
made with the checks were traced through
the Endorsements on those which found their
way back to the bank for settlement. 1t
was found that So firms and individuals had
indorsed them, the supposition being that
each had benefited by some transaction in
which they were involved.
More than one-fourth of the cancelled
checks had been handled by food stores
while better than one-sixth of them were
cashed by eating places and about an equal
number went to buy clothing and shoes, no
tions and jewelry.
The theatre got as many as the public
utilities, telephone company and light and
power company although it probably gave
more change back and the drug stores re-
ceived an equal number. Furniture, coal
hardware, barber shops, garages and oil
stations and poolhalls all came in for several
while insurance and finance companies
claimed a share and a number were paid to
individuals renting rooms and houses. In
almost every instance large advertisers re-
ceived greater share of the checks than
competitors.
These figures are interesting because
they bring out the Importance of large pay
rolls to retailers in all lines. They indicate
how quickly trade is affected when factories
close and employees are deprived of their
pay checks.
They indicate the Importance of making
every effort to secure new industries and to
support those already here by buying pro-
ducts manufactured at home.

ney General Wilentz offered de-

This charge, the Journal de.

The reputed offer, it is said, was
made on two separate occasions to

It was made presumably, the
Journal adds, when Edward j.

Of defense, but was made to Fisher
because troopers guarding Bruno's

carpenter seemed friendly only
to the New Jersey attorney, and
never appeared willing to confide
in Reilly.
So eager was Wilentz to obtain
the confession and the names Of
the "accompliceS," it was charged,
that he offered to pay the SIC, 900
out Of his personal funds.
