Washington Makes Effort to Untangle Tuscania Names Garbled in Sending Washington, Feb. It. —Cablegrams are going forward to the American embassy in Ijondon from the War Department to-day in an effort to complete the list of Tuscania sur vivors and untangle names which have been garbled in transmission. latest advices to the department continue to indicate that few more American soldiers were lost than the 161 already reported buried in Scot land. Reports place the American dead at not more than 170. although the list of saved is far from com plete. About 260 of those on the pas senger list still are unaccounted for. but the department has a number of names of survivors it has been un able to decipher. Some of these are supposed to be duplications and some names of men of whom there is no record. The Associated Press list of unre ported. made by checking both of ficial and unofficial advices against the passenger list, stands at 171.

Any druggist can order of wholesaler. cold is better. This will relieve you in a very few days. Celia asks: "My hair is too oily and my scalp itches with dandruff, and of late it is coming out too much. What is a good treatment?." Answer: Obtain plain yellow minyol from your druggist in 4-oz. jars and apply as per directions. This cleans, purifies, cools and invig orates the hair and scalp, thus stop ping the death of the hair. Dandruff and itching are at once relieved.

WOUNDED MEN AT FOR TOBACCO FIRST OF ALL Soldiers in France Find Solace in Weed When Sear Death: Picture Taken by Official Canadian War Bureau Thousands of brave women have given up all lightsome life to help win this war by nursing the unfor tunate men who are wounded or ill with disease. Taken in every coun try. although we seem to hear little about the German women in this work, there are perhaps half a mil lion women engaged, in some acti vity connected with the war. The woman nurse is eminently better fitted for this duty than man. This has been proved. A kind, heartful smile from a woman puts the suf ferer "in instant touch with thoughts of home, love and loyalty. It is the testimony of a great many of these nurses, in their letters home that tobacco is such a delight to the wounded that no one. however gifted, could describe their emotion: < >ne woman, a head nurse some where in France in correspondence with an old friend, tells of an in stance something like the one il lustrated here. The soldier had been shot in both legs and was on the way to have them amputated. The case was very serious, in fact, the chances 100 to one against the crip pled man. There was, for some rea son or other, a lack of anaesthetic and this soldier was bearing the in tense pain with difficulty.
