There were still two cars at the sta tion belonging to these ladies, so they took the baggage to another station and claimed the soldiers as their guests until their train came, some time about midnight.

Montgomery has received Be Careful in Using Soap on Your Hair Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for it is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in, about a teaspoonful is all that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quicklv and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, fluffy, wavy, and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Advertisement. Phone m Aor&fes FLOWERS ' "' "SAY IT."

The following letter from the United States food administration will be of interest to many people who have not yet realized that we are supposed to have the same rules gov erning our menus as the people of Canada: - "Just across the Canadian, border line it is illegal to put cane sugar frosting on cakes. No longer do the women vie with one another in making elaborate cakes for their festive days. Cake frosting to them is a very little thing to sacrifice toward winning the war when so many Canadian boys have' left for ever overseas. ' "There are still those In the United States who will not curb their appe tites for thick fudge frostings. and are using on cakes and home-made con fections sugar which should be set apart for canning. "Canada is very close to us. What food is good enough for her is good enough for us; and no American should allow himself to eat a piece of cake or a biscuit iced with cane or beet sugar. Let him remember that if he were a few miles farther north he would be a lawbreaker. "Manufacturers of biscuits and cakes in Canada have been limited in the amount of sugar which they can use to a barrel of flour, and makers of ice cream may use only six pounds or sugar to eignt gallons of ice cream. "Sugar is scarce in America, very scarce, and will be until winter. Every spoonful that is not absolutely neces sary for other purposes should be used in preserving the fruit supply. Re member that fruit and vegetables may be canned without sugar. In order to meet all the- demands fairly and squarely every man, woman and child in America must think seriously over each spoonful of sugar used. "A great deal can be saved by wom en who bake cakes. In regard to cake icings, every American woman should think of the Canadian law and say, 'We're with you, Canada.' " THERE'S A MAS IN OUR TOWN Who is the long lost man who wears both belt and suspenders. But the question as to his identity can not be settled. He is photographed with his back towards the kodak, holding a small child who can easily be recognized, but the father says it is not he and all other members and friends of the family also deny the charge. The picture was taken several years ago and the man in it may be" the original one who wore both belt and suspenders, and whose disappear ance has been causing so much dis turbance for several years. .
