Thera la no part of the human makeup so revengeful as the hair. It cries out: Look at me, care for me, or I will disgrace youl , Treat me with consideration and I .will be a glory to you." , , ! With"theabove words, Ullian Russell an unquestioned authority on feminine attractiveness, places no i uncertain value on nice hair aa a beauty asset. Unkempt, uncared for hair not only cannot be attractive but ia actually a disgrace. But why have ill-kept, untidy hah? By devoting a few momenta regular ly to brushing and intelligent appli cation of NEWBRO'S HERPICIDE, the hair may be made to yield won derful returns in increased personal charm. - Dandruff is 'the direct cause of more hair trouble than anything else. The hair becomes thin, harsh, un even and falls out in quantities. It looks dead and lifeless; there, is no luster. The scalp itches. .

When the boys went aboard the ship they were per mitted to mall a card announcing safe arrival on the other side. These cirds were released here upon receipt of a cablegram from over there. I am today, December 31, In receipt of one of these cards with the words "Have arrived sately abroad," and I release the folowing letter to the Salem, folks: f , LETTER NO. 1. New1 York, Dec. 30, 19171 During tbe early part of Decembe my sister, Mary. Scbultz, and' Miss Vera Kitchener, anlved trom the twiddle west and early next morning we started for Camp Mils where our Oregon, troops; have been quartered. We had no positive' assurance that our boys were still there and as we knitted our way on the hour's Journ ey out of New York City, we ia termlttenly slammed the door ia the face of fears and its. Once I aked a soldier 11 he know whether, thu Oregon boys had gone and he said, "I don't think you wll find them for boys have been leaving here all the week." -i - I have learned many things of late. Two Of them are "never put off until tomorrow anything you want to do lor a5 aoldler, for tomorrow be may be gone" and If you start out to find a soldier or a bunch of them, don't rely- On rumors, but get as close to headquarter as yon can. I frequent ly gather al the street talk 1 can and get the Information from headquart ers too that is much aa any citizen ia entitled to know, t , Familiar Face Appears. We got permits to visit camp from headquarters and, tater uuaerstood these were among tbe last issued that day. Aa we neared Company M mess Fkitchcn, the faces all seemtd new .to me and & great big "what u they have gone?" almost stunned me. Suddenly I saw George Plant t whom 1 knew, to be the Cook for our boys and then 1 began to recognize some of his "cookees." . ' ' Of course I was sort of an old story to the boys. I had spent every Sunday possible out there uuring the time they were here but Mary and ,Miss Kitchener were new and var iety adds a little spice any time, i I wonder if I can with words con vey the feeling around camp that day. It seemed, as if the -tenseness of the weeks of waiting' had been broken and there was some assur ance of a real move In the air. Boxes were packed and stacked at the head of each company street. Mo one on that day waa getting pass, not even to the little village of Hempstead. Personal baggage had teen sorted ac cording to regulations.' . There was a general clean-up everywhere. :' Our eyes told ua our boys were getting ready for the last, lap -of their jorun ty. The general air of friendliness was contagious that" .day. Heretofore 'our own" boys had "been glad to .e us but this time everyone joined in. We had many boya te see and as Wo went from street to street, many hoys had something to say. to us. Please don't think these boys were what tbe street urchin calls iresh." Previously, they w6uld have passed you by with perhaps a friendly smile or a casual glance but this time It was different, it was thst "everybody talk to everybody frellnz that grownups have when a lli Liberty Ctreet A.

At noon we "feel la" lias v!t' Company M and took our food to t: aquad tent of Whitney Gill and v had quite a party.

I several aquad mates of the Inys whose names I do not remember. , c also bad supper at the same tent. We visited around during the aft ernoon, while the boys were out on heavy marching orders. Quite lito In the afternoon we learned that "Ducky" Holmes (Frank, Jr.), ton of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ilolnca. ni nsed to live In Salem, was with tlo McMlnnvtlle boys. We have known him ever since he was a small la 1 and hurried away to convince our selves that he was grown up and a corporal in Uncle Sam'a great armjv He, too, was out on heavy march!.-. orders and was coming towsrd camp as we were asking for him. All thi boys around that, company etrrt. knew "Ducky" Holmes and we In stantly knew his rank with his fe'J-j men. He was a surprised and hajn y boy, to see us.' .While we were talk ing with him a familiar face appear ed at the next tent. I called my sister's attention to the face andsho spoke Immediately to Roy Spark, whom 1 had known only by sight lt Salem as the man with the big grey hound. I fancy he is an officer for his tent was well at the head of tho row. We also talked with Private Mllkr In the McMlnnrllle company. Frlva? Miller Is a chance acquaintance I made on tbe street at Hempstead. While waiting for the Woodruff chil dren one evening I found rnysc:? standing near two soldier boys and t casually asked them where they were from. .! "Oregon." they said. As calmly as I could I said, "What part of Oreaon?" One started to tell about a little town way out there called Independ ence. I laughed and told him h? didn't need to tell me where that town was and you can't Imagine how- happy., they looked, I couldn't de scribe the change of expression it would lose by my comparison. 1 1 3 proved to be Cyril Richardson of In dependence and the other lad youn?
