"Will MedUn,- member of tha Lucky Seventh, has received several lettera from people throughout the state aa a reeult ot a story concerning him i The Bee of Sep tember 11. Thla young1 man. who wee, atolen In childhood, knows nothing of hie parents and has no friend. The lettera reeeived are from people who with to help him find his relatives . or, to send him encouraging letters at camp and at tha front. There are eeveral young men In the Sev enth National Guard reaerve with no friends to care If they come home safe or not, . Major Frith, army recruiting officer, has returned from a trip to Lincoln, where he enlisted sixteen men.

Des Moines scores for the last fifteen days, the report for the first half of September Being 141 men from Pes Moines and ninety-eight from Omaha. - Sergeant Ball In eharge of the army re cruiting sab-eution at Slou City, enllated ' a young man for the Omaha office Satur : day morning. An hour after a feminine voice called up. anxloualy, to know If a young man answering to that name had enllated. In fear and trembling . Ser geant Hall admitted he had. expecting to be severely reprimanded for doing so, imagin ing the young man had overstated his ags and other matters to get Into the army without his parents' consent. To his surprise the woman exlalroed "ph. fra so gladl I have been urging him to : go for so long. He said he would today but I was afraid he wouldn't. It la the best thing that ever happened to him." ' Since then the mother cannot do enough for the recruiting officer, saying she owes them undying gradltude for enlisting her HIW TO JUDGE A WOMAN r It HER . HAIR Then Is real common sense in just noticing whether the hair is well kept to judge of a woman's neatness or good taste. If you are one of the few who try to-make the most of your hair, remember that it is not advisable to wash the hair with' any cleanser made for all purposes, but always use some good preparation made expressly for shampooing. You can enjoy the very best by getting some canthroz from your druggist, dissolve a teaspoonful fn a cup of hot water, i This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy to apply it to all the hair instead of just the top of the head. Dandruff, exeses oil and dirt are dissolved and entirejy disappear. Your hair will be so fluffy that it will look much heavier than it is. Its luster and softness will also delight yon, while the stimulated scalp gains the health which Insures hair growth. Adv. The management of the entrap ment was carried on splendidly by the station officials and the mem bers of the district boards. All the board members were there to help the boys get started, At the last moment h. C. Redwood of the Third district decided he had better go along, at least part way, with his contingent, so he hopped on the train, too, to the great delight of the boys who had learned to know him well these last few weeks. Various devices were employed by the different districts to identify their rqen. The Sixth district men wore neat little cards decorated with flags and patriotic ribbons, bearing the words, "I am John Smith (or what ever the name was), from Omaha. Sent by the Sixth district of Douglas county, Nebraska." Christian Bull was appointed cap tain in charge of the Sixth district group, with Dwight Lindborg as lieu tenant. The meri from the Sixth slept Tuesday night at the Castle hotel and had breakfast there, j Since roll can at noon Tuesday they have been in the government service, with all ex penses paid. Twenty-Italians were among the representatives from the Fourth dis trict. "We are glad to fight for Amer ica and Italy, for liberty and human ity," they said.
