U. S. Fighting Men
To Have Christmas
(Temple Telegram Special.)
Washington, Deo. 4.—American
fighting men at homo and abroad,
again will be remembered by the Red
Cross during the Christmas holidays,
aocording to an announcement by na-
tional headquarters. Within pre-
scribed limits, the Red Cross will see
to it that all soldiers and Fallors come
in for a share of the holiday celebra-
tion.
In line with the new Red Cross
agreement with the war and liavy de-
partments, whereby recreation and
entertainment for well and able
bodied men outside of the hospital
reservations will bo provided by those
departments, the Red Cross Is free to
concentrate its attention on Christ-
mas service for patients, corps men
and nurses. Rod Cross field represen-
tatives at all hospitals. Including the
small posts, are arranging with the
commanding officers of the troops for
special Christmas entertainments and
celebrations.
Particular attention Is being given
to Christ man decoration, simple forms
of Christmas greetings, special music,
entertainment and supplemental serv-
ice, such as supplying the patients'
mess with additional delicacies.
' Plans for Red Cross Christmas
work with the troops in Europe in-
clude the distribution of such com-
fort* as are available. Red Cross
workers with the troops, however,
consider it urgent that relatives and
friends In America send Christinas
packages and gifts direct to the sol-
diers as soon as possible.

It was the fox in the fable 4
who after vainly trying to
reach some delicious clusters
of grapes on an arbor, said, as
he gave up in despair, "Oh
well, they're sour grapes."
Manufacturers of corn flakes, for years, have
been trying to perfect flakes approaching
in substance and flavor the famous
Post Toasties
No one has done it, for the patent Toastie
process of making brings out a particular
richness and flavor that is the despair of
competitors.
So adverse remarks about
Post Toasties, the fastest
selling corn flakes in
America, remind one of
the fox in the fable.

Prince Rupert, B. C., Pec. 4.—
Gone are the days of the old fash-
ioned lumberjack. W. H. Muggins,
one of the oldest logging operators
in British Columbia, has closed down
his camp nt Thompson Sound be-
cause of the new fangied ideas that
have turned traditions topsy turvy
among his workmen.
"What do you suppose those lum-
berjacks ot mine wanted?" he said.
"They had as good grub and bunk
houses as there are in Briiish Colum-
bia, but that wasn't enough. They
sent a delegation to wait on me."
" 'The men are dissatisfied, said
the spokesman, 'You see, this Is the
new era for the woiklngmon. We
ain't got no kirk on the grub, but
we don't like our quarters.'"
"'What do you want changed?''*
says 1. '
" 'Well,' sin s he, 'we think we
ought to have shower and plunge
baths, brass bedsteads, box springs
and hair mattresses to sleep on.' "
"'Anything else?'" I asked.
"'Yes,' said he, 'there's one other
thing. We l'eel that in this new era
we ought to have a change <>f bed
sheets every day.' "
"That settled it," concluded Mr.
Higglns. "I might have stood for
tho shower baths and the brass bed-
steads, but the fresh sheets every
day were the last straw. I closed
down my camp on the spot and till
stay closed down till those lumber-
jacks come back to horse sense."
Hut Mr. Higglns is an exception.
All the other lumber camps in the
province are busier than ever before
in tl.eir history. Axes are ringing
in tho big woods along the Grand
Trunk Pacific railway from Yellow-
bead pass to the Skeena river. Tho
lumber business of British Columbia
is entering on a period of bonanza
development. This is due chiefly to
the opening of the Panama canal
and the reconstruction situation in
Europe, Tho Panama canal has
changed British Columbia from the
back door of Canada into one of the
front doors ot and the lumber needs
of devastated Europe have opened a
vast market for British Columbia
timber. England alone recently plac-
ed an order in British Columbia for
$50,000,000 worth of lumber.

BECKETT KNOCKED OCT IN ONP
ROUND/—VICTOR WILL MEET
DEMPSEY.
(Atsoclattd Press Dlipatch.)
Holborn Stadium, Ringside, Lon-
don, Dec. 4.—Georges Carpenter tho
French champion knocked out Joe
Beckett the champion of England
tonight in a brief and decidedly one-
sided fight for the championship Of
Europe. Seventy-four seconds. as an-
nounced by the official timekeeper,
sufficed to decide whether Car pen-
tier or Beckett should meet Jack
Dempsey, the American heavyweight,
for the championship of the world
In Juno next From the moment the
referee. B. J. Angle, called time,
Curpentler had tho battle entirely in
his own hands. Beckett never had
a chance of hitting the agile Frcpch'-
man who landed blows with enor-
mous strength whenever he felt In-
clined.
Amid absolute stillness most of the
spectators could hear the terrific
crack of tho swing that put Beckett
to sleep.
There was a roar of cheering as
Carpentler assisted Beckett to Ms
corner, where the English boxer
opened Ms astonished eyes and sa'v
his opponent being carried on the
shoulders of une of the enthusiasts
around the ring—and the French-
man was smiling happily.
Tho contestants presented a not-
able difference In appearance when
they stripped and were introduced
—Tleckett, swarthy and muscular,
Carpentler, white-skinned with slight
figure. Carpentler looked about him
as though accustomed to , his sur-
roundings: Beckett seemed some-
what nervous.
Peer and peeresses, members of
the house of commons, high officials
of stale, manv women, most of tliem
in evening dre^s and the Prince of
Wales, newly returned from hla re-
cent trip, looked the flgli'ers over
critically as thev atnrted np.
As a fight the content was not
spectacular. Carpentler was fast on
his feet, rtaneln* In and ou» sod
nlaylpg havoc with the Tntrl'shmsn
f'Om the first lead With llgMnlmr
swiftness. Csrpentler'a left leaned
out and caneht BecVett on th» fee.
and a suppressed sigh was aiMist*
all over th« house. A qi't«V break
away followed a' short clinch s«d
tho Frenchman landed two more
hard lefts.
Beekett with a sort of bull dog de-
termination, forced Carpentler al-
most to the rones. But th's was i
diversion tor a moment onlv for the
frenchman stenned hacV and then
forward and, with' all his strength
and the full weight of his bodv,
swung his right to the Englishman's
jaw and Beckett went down and ont
The betting was heavy before the
contest, odds of seven to four being
laid on Beckett and most of those
present were losers, al thou eh Car-
pentler had plenty of supporters.

"I deem It necessary to say a few

The thin film that won't come off,
and which forms on many scalps is
the cause of much ot tho falling hair
nnd baldness. This film is composed
of fatty scales, almost Invisible, and
soap and the ordinary shampoos can-
not dislodge. The only way to re-
move it is by dissolving it This Is
dono by using a head-wash made by
dissolving a teaspoonful of eggol in a
cup of water. The result is a de-
lightful cleanliness of head and scalp
which is unusual. It will let your hair
"breathe", and stop the lialr falling.
There la enough eggol In a twenty-five
cent package at any drug store to give
a dozen or more head-washes.
