I Gli x —s was not different from your own boy. I watched him, that crisp October afternoon swinging along the boulevard with his comrades en route to camp, with mingled thankfulness and pride. Then came word of his sailing. Then his cable of arrival. At infrequent intervals through the long winter his letters. Then silence. ★ ★ Sometimes now I wake in the night to find myself whispering his name. I cannot believe it true that he is gone. Least of all can I believe it true that somewhere beneath the harried and heroic soil of France his breathless body lies. His few letters—so well-remembered and so precious now!—seem still to give denial of his end. ★ ★ Of his like I have no more to give. My own frail powers are weary with their years. But in his name and spirit I still may serve the cause for which he gave irrevocably his all. I still may aid that brave array of manhood and of valor which is the true frontier of our embattled native lancf. ★ ★ The United States Government Bonds of the Third Liberty Loan are my agency of service. They never can seem to me to be made up merely of dollars. They are ships, food, supplies, equipment, care—the very means and material of victory. They are the power and wrath behind the sword we wield. ★ ★ I know that their security is unshakable, that as an investment they are safe beyond compare. I know that their returns are liberal and sure. But far greater than such appeals is their call upon our loyalty and our justice. They are the real measure of our devotion to the land in which we live. ★ ★ Oh you fathers who have sons in France or in the camps here at home, help them carry on! You others who have neither sons nor self to give, how boundless is your'debt! Buy your country's bonds— from your plenty or your mite, buy them! Buy them that our Liberty may live and that our boys may not have died in vain. PACKARD MOTOR CAR COMPANY OF PHILADELPHIA WEDNESDAY EVENING, HAEJRISBURG 66588& TELEGRAPH APRTL 24, IOIS."

Pa., April 24.—"Let the children first be lilled; for It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs," Judge Gillan quoting from Scriptures, told the twenty-live constables of Franklin county in urging them to see that the recently-enacted dog law of the state is enforced. "We are In the midst of a great war," he continued: "Over two millions of our fellow citizens are under arms; many more are being called. Not only must they be fed, but the people ot the allied nations as well, and they must be fed by us. We are engaged in a most necessary and righteous war. The civilization of the world depends on a victory of the allied armies. Any American who in this hour does anything, either byway of commission or omission, to hinder the successful conduct of the war dishonors the flag of his country and forfeits his claim to the title of citizen of the United States. Let it not be said that in this country one ounce of food which should go to a human being shall be consumed by a worthless dog whose owner Is not willing to expend one dollar a year "for a license which would protect him.

Cocoanut Oil Fine For Washing Hair j If you want to keep your hair in good condition, ,be careful what you 1 wash it with. Most soups and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Just plain mulsifled cocoanut oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless), is ( much better than the most expen sive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abund ance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thor oughly. Tile lather rinses out eas ily and removes every particle of | dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive ! oil. The hair dries quickly and | evenly, and it leaves it line and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to . manage. You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is | very cheap, and a few ounces is j enough to last everyone in the faw- I ily for months. " ' 4 CITARM3* n.
