Loafers have less than three weeks

After July 1 a man not employed In

These boards must also use common

In referring to investigation by the

RATS DEVOUR
$500 WORTH
A man in a nearby town recently killed
fa rats with a new kind of rat poison.
According to the estimate of a Govern
ment expert, a single rat, on the average,
destroys $5 worth of foodstuffs annually.
At this rate, these 103 rats had been
costing over #500 every year.
With this new rat poison, known as
Rat Mum, anyone can get rid of every
rat on his place quickly and with the
greatest ease. Rat Mum is entirely dif
ferent from other rat poisons in that it
destroys without odor.
Another point—neither dogs nor cats
will eat it. It is not spread on food, and
you don't run this risk ot having hu
mans eat it by mistake. Rat Mum
comes
in a cake. You simply crumble it and
put it where the rats will get it—and
you're soon rid of the pests. Remember
the name, Rat Mum, and ask for a 2Sv
cent package at your druggist's or gro
cer's today.

Must Change Work.
The order also defines what classes
of workers must change their occu
pations or go into military training.
It says:
"In the present emergency It Is
not possible to extend the protec
tion of deferred classification to
those registrants engaged In cei
tato occupations or employments
which are nonproductive.
"There is a great demand for
labor in all productive occupations
and employments, and especially
in agriculture and other necessary
industries. Therefore, registrants
who have bee® given deferred
classification and who can engage
in some productive occupation or
employment without substantia*
financial loss or hardship to them
selves or others should be willing
to seek some productive occupa
tion or employment or enter the
military service rather than re
main in an occupation or employ
ment in which they are rendering
no effective assistance to the na
tion.
Those Who are Idlers.
"If a registrant is idle, he, of
course, Is not occupied or employ
ed at all, and his status of idleness
furnishes ground for the witn
drawal of Ills deferred classifica
tion or late order number and
the regulations applicable to idle
registrants shall be deemed appli
cable also to gamblers of all de
scription and employees of race
tracks and bucket Bhop?, and to
fortune tellers, clairvoyants, palm
ists. and the like, who, for tne
purposes of these n\julatlons,
shall be considered as idiers.
"The employment or engage
ment of any able-bodied registrant
of military age in any of the fol
lowing occupations or employ
ments Is not sufficiently effective,
in the present emergency, to Justi
fy the postponement of his call In
to military service, notwithstand

Alkali in Soap
Bad For the Hair
Soap should be used very carefully, if
you want to keep your hair looking its
best Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle,
and ruins it
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which
is pure and greaseless), and is better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply
moisten the hair with water and rub it
in. It makes an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, which rinses out easily,
removing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft and the hair fine and
silky, bright lustrous, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at
any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few
ounces will supply every member of the
family for months.
