Here's a Better Method Thousands of ruined heads of hair bear striking testimony to the injuri ous effects of the heated curling iron. The continued use of such instrument invariably means dull, dry, shriveled hair, with split, broken, uneven ends. If more women only knew it. the hair can be kept beautifully wavv, : soft and liuffy—without any Harmful result whatever—by the occasional use of plain liquid silmerine. A small ! quantity is applied before doing up 1 the hair, using a clean toothbrush for I the purpose, drawing this down the full length of the hair. The curly effect is quickly acquired and last's I quite a considerable tirne. It is na tural looking, and the texture and luster of the hair are so improved that the woman who adopts this simple method will never go back to the atro cious waving iron. .V f-w ounces of liquid silmerine from the druggist will last for weeks. The liquid is agree able to use. and It leaves no gunimv, greasy or odorous trace. —Advertise- LIFE-LASTING GIFTS FOR GRADUATES Let your gift be one that will last a lifetime —one that will be a reminder'day after day of your good will and regard—make it one of our Beautiful Sparking Diamonds Graduation is one of the most important events in life.

H.'PRICK | Thousands of Christian Endeavor societies have adopted the Efficiency | Campaign and have already made considerable progress. The societies | that are wise in conducting their] | campaigns have an Efficiency Chart I | hanging on the wall of the room l where the Endeavorers meet. . The Daniel A. Poling Union, in the State of Washington, has entered upon a lour months' Efficiency Cam paign with these objects in view: An efficiency chart in every society; a class in Expert Endeavor in every so ciety and one-third of the members Christian Endeavor Experts by July 1, 1917: every active member a vvear ier of the Christian Endeavor pin; j every active member a subscriber to I The Christian Endeavor News; one third of the membership new sub- J scribers to The Christian Endeavor | World; ten new societies by July 1: | a delegate from the union to one of I the big conventions, and the accom- I plishment of the union's share in the j Millions Campaign. I During the past, few months the Central Presbyterian Society, South I Brownsville, Pa., has put the Effi ! cienc.v Campaign to a test, and it j has worked wonders. The pastor, the Rev. Charles It. Harmon, D. D., and his wife, together'with thirteen i young people formed a class and took "Expert lCndeavor" graduating re , centtv. As a result of this studying the Efficiency Campaign has been on ;in earnest. Following are a few of I the things emphasized-: First of all the Prayer 14x6— Quiet Hour Medi tation by Comrades of the Quiet Hour; Tenth Legion emphasized; 100 per cent, prayer meetings; a largo per cent, increase in readers of the C. E. World and the Pennsyl vania Bulletin: Young people giving themselves to mission study and showing an interest in missionary work as never before; a large per cent, of the "Endeavorers always at the mid-week prayer meeting of the church; the society—a beehive of activity, its influence being felt in every part of the church life; en thusiasm being kindled everywhere; another expert class formed. About i eighteen taking Expert Endeavor will graduate before the State con vention, July, 1918. The most far reaching—perhaps, a life work re cruit—a young life given to God. As a result of the Society's ac tivity, the Golden Seal has been given by the United Society and placed on the Efficiency Chart the tlrst in Pennsylvania and fifth in the world to receive this seal. Livewire Workers The Rev. Charles Henry Frick, of Wilkes-Barre. State superintendent of the Christian Citizenship Depart ment, says, "The greatest honor in the gift of our nation is bestowed upon President Wilson. We delight in his commendable character and his activities in religious enterprises. Splendid work has been done along citizenship lines in the recent cam paign. Great victories tyere won even under old party standards. Four States took their place In the prohibition column—Michigan, Ne braska, South Dakota, and Montana. Utah and Florida elected candidates pledged to enact prohibitory meas ures. Prompt action is expected from these States, and when they act, just 24 of the States in the Union will have outlawed the saloon. And 24 is just half of all the States. Reports have confirmed our faith, fired our zeal, and doubled our pur pose, and we will brighten the let ters on our banner, 'A Saloonless Na tion by 1920'." Frank A. Arnold, a well-known Christian Endeavorer of Boston, has taken a new step in his business career, having become a director and assistant to the management in the New York advertising agency of Frank Seaman, Inc., the second largest advertising agency in the world.
