Rev. S. De Freese
Assumes Charge at
St, Mark's Church
Rev. S. De Freese preached Sun
day morning at St. Mark's English
Lutheran church on "The Christ,"
taking as his text the words of Christ,
"I am the way, the truth and the life;
no man Vometh unto the Father but
by Me."
"You often hear men boast," said
Rev. Mr. De Freese, "that they never
go to church or read the Bible or care
about Christianity, but that they take
care of their families, pay their debts
and obey the laws and therefore are
'just as good' as professed, active
Christians.
"But obedience to the laws and -or
dinary good conduct in dealings with
men are not sufficient for salvation.
In the words of the text, Christ lays
down the one way by which we must
come to the Father. There is no
other way. Wise men do not set up
their own -judgment as to what is
right in opposition to the words of
the Master as recoraea in me scrip
tures."

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo
If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful, what you
wash it with.
i - Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (which is pure and en
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possible injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily and removes
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. It is very
cheap, and a few ounces is enough; to
last everyone, in the family for
months.' Advertisement.

NOT SATISFIED WITH
RECALL OF LUXBURG
Argentine Foreign Minister De
clares Friendship With Ger
many Will End Unless Con
cessions Made at Once.
(By Associated Press.)
Buenos Aires, Sept. 17. Foreign
Minister Pueyrredon informed The
Asso:iated Press today that he is sat
isfied that the expulsion of Count Lux
burg, the German minister to Argen
tina, has not closed the incident grow
ing out of the telegrams the minister
sent to Berlin through the Swedish
legation here.
Minister Pueyrredon declared that
the Argentine government intends to
act energetically, but not precipitated
ly, in upholding the honor of the re
public and to close the present inci
dent favorably.
The Argentine government has
sent cablegrams to Dr. Louis B. Mo
lma, the mmitser at Berlin, concern
ing the negotiations, but no official
response has yet been received. The
foreign minister believes the delay
is due to dithculties of transmission
and the censorship
The foreign minister said he be
lieved Germany would make conces
sions to retain the friendship of Ar
gentina, but explained that friendship
between the two countries will end
unless the republic obtains the assur
ances and concessions desired.
The Kovernment prohibited todav
an anti-German demonstration planned
oy toretgn residents here.
Withdraws Wireless Privilege,
The government has withdrawn the
permission granted to a German wire
less company to attempt to receive
wireless messages from the German
station at Nauen
The German wireless service, con
sisting largely of messages from the
semi-official Overseas News agency,
which was sent to this country
through the Sayville station before
the entrance of the United States
into the war, is distributed from
Nauen.
It has been reported on several oc
casions since the United States and
Germany severed relations that infor
mation was being sent to Germany
oy wireless trom South America.
Pan-German Press Fumes.
Amsterdam, Sept 17. The pan
German newspapers, which have
taken longer than the remainder of
the German press to digest Count
Luxburg's famous dispatches to the
German foreign office through the
Swedish legation in Argentina com
plain of Luxburg s lack of discretion
and caution, and appear to be very
cross with everyone concerned. The
Taegliche Rundschau of Berlin says
it was not absolutely necessary for
the count to announce by cable that
he regarded the Argentinan foreign
minister a notorious ass. It thinks
that might have been said later.
The comment of Count von Revent
low in the Tages Zeitung is dis
tinguished from the rest by the ab'
sence of any attempt to explain away
Count Luxburg's reference to "sink-
ing without trace." The count merely
fumes because such dispatches indi
cate that the submarine warfare had
not been guided strictly and un
changeably by the proclamation of
the barred zone.
The Kreu-Zeitung. like several
other newspapers, explains Count Lux

You can run 20, 40 or even 60 miles out into the
country of an evening or Saturday afternoon, buy
produce from the farmer at little more than half
its city price, and bring it home in your handy car.
Or, if you live in the country, you cartuck a nice
load of produce into the tonneau whenever you
make a trip to the city and sell it for more than it
would ever bring you on the farm.
The Briscoe not only enables you to market in the
country, but to run down in a few minutes to the
big city markets and get bargains there. It opens,
also, to you and your family a whole world of
healthful pleasures and clean sports.
The Briscoe has the famous half million-dollar
Motor, giving it wonderful smoothness and power,
maximum gasoline and tire mileage and minimum
repair expense. It looks and acts like an expensive
car, yet the Briscoe is a low priced car and is the

A GREAT many months ago, in fact early last spring, a manufacturer of
good waists bought tremendous quantities of fine silk. "
He knew that prices would advance excessively as they since have.
He likewise knew that a certain number of good stores would take all the
Waists he could produce, figured on the basis of cost of material to him.
We, together with other merchants in. other cities, placed open orders for
these Blouses, to be delivered at periodic intervals during the Fall and Win

The first allotment hat just come in, and will go on sale tomorrow.
As was expected, they are most unusual' in value, for in addition to the

eliminating selling expense and lower making cost.
