By the creation of this board, it was

announced, it will be possible to work

out a price for the public ,upward of

one cent a pound less than would be tlie case if the price of sugar were advanced to a price that will cover the high peaks in cost from all quarters.

"We'll Soon be Going After Kaiser9 Writes Local Soldier in France

Oxford Town Council to Probe Neglect Charge OXFORD. O.. July 12. Jfeglect upon the part of some one connected with the village administration has, It is alleged, almost ruined the village Ecwage disposal plant. Mayor Hughes yesterday called council's attention to the condition of affairs, and an investigating committee will report verifying the worst rumors that have been heard concerning the plant. It Is understood that some one's head will come off, probably at the next meeting of the village council.

Coal lands will be developed by the Browns Creek Ccal Co., Welch, W. Va. incorporated with $100,000 capital.

won't be long before the Ameri

cans will be going after the Kaiser himself, Robert Droke. with Pershing's forces in France, says In a letter to his mother, Mrs. Mamie Bennett, 447 South Ninth street. Droke enlisted with Company B, of the Third Balloon Squadron, and has been abroad for several months. The French are kind to the Americans, although they think they are made of money and "sting" them frequently, Droke says, but American meals and American girls still "look good" to the Yankees in France. The letter follows: "Not having heard from you for so long I am supposing that your letters

are on the way across and will write you a few lines. I have been moved again and am now near a much largI er place than when I wrote last time, i We are getting a lot of balloon work now and it certainly Is interesting. It won't be long before we go after the ! Kaiser himself and I hope I will be "'there in time to see hi3 coffin lid nail

ed on. "It is getting pretty hot here and I hope it is better in Richmond now. We have a fine swimming hole down by a sawmill 'and it feels pretty fine to jump in cold water. There are quite a lot of fish there and if I get a chance I will go around to fish some Sunday. "I think I told you about joining my company in my last letter so I need not tell you again. We have a fine company and fine officers and "non

-coms . 1 am SUU acting sergeaui aim

I hope I 'will be promoted before long. Make Visit to Paris. "Every Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday some of us are allowed to go to the big city. I went in a week ago Sunday and enjoyed a sight seeing

trin eiven bv the "Y." We

en all around the city and

interesting trip. "We went through the Chamber of Deputies, and it was a beautifui place. The ceilings and walls were covered with paintings and tapestries. These were old court and tribunal rooms that showed the great age by the chairs and floors which were very much worn. This city dates back with the olden clays and the Chamber of Deputies was one of the first buildings to be built. "Then we were taken around and shown the old gates and walls around the city. This city was subject to attacks by pirates and other enemies and so had to have the gates and

J wall3 for protect ion. The gate3 were

prepared for a siege all the time. There were windows and places up in the top of the gatP3 where the people could throw molten lead on the enemy. There was also a great stone bridge

were tak-

it was an

which was built by Napoleon and it must have saved the people a great deal of walking for up to that time they had been going across the river in beats. ' "Then we Baw a great cathedral with a big tower, not connected to it but separate. It was very artistically built and all around the walls were impressions made by shots and small shell. The people used to get up in the tower in the days of the revolution and shoot down on the king's troops. There are a lot of bodies and skeletons down in the lower part of the tower. They had been buried in the yard for about four hundred years and as the ground was chalky some of the bodies were preserved. When they rebuilt the yard they dug them up and put them in thb tower. The skins were like tanned leather and the teeth were preserved in some, the eyeballs in others and all such cases. Some of them were buried alive and their bodies show how terribly they must have suffered. We were glad to get back to the fresh air as there was only a little candle light in the tower. Still Prefers U. S. "We saw many such strange sights and I enjoyed the trip very much. Then some of us went to the Y. M. C. A. and had a fine meal for about three and one-half francs or seventy cents. We had ice cream too, and that is a royal treat over here for the French

don't have ice cream. There are some fine restaurants here but I prefer the good old U. S. meal at the "Y" for we know what we are getting there and ft costs less. The French think we are made of money and some places sting us accordingly. "At 9:30 the trucks came and took us back to camp. On Memorial Day I went down again and there were all kinds of stunts for the soldiers. I took in all the statues I could find this trip and saw some beauties in the parks and on the streets. The French are great for statues. "There are some mighty pretty girls here too. I still prefer the U. S. girls however."

Better ttam Pills

SSDS

YOU WILL NEVER wish to take another dose of pills after having once used Chamberlain's Tablets. They are easier and more pleasant to take, more gentle and mild in their action and more reliable. They leave the bowels in a natural condition, while the use of pills is often followed by severe constipation, requiring a constant increase in the dose. Every bottle guaranteed by your druggist.

It Keeps You Looking Young For preserving the natural beauty and luxuriance of the hair and maintaining a condition of health in the scalp nothing is superior to FAMO. It is a scientific achievement which has jumped at once into popularity and success. The results following the use of this new hair and scalp prophylactic are simply astonishing and its praises are being sung by the ladies everywhere.

Gives to the Hair Surprising

LIFE, LUSTER AND LUXURIANCE FAMO cleans out and eradicates dandruff accumulations and by destroying the cause prevents its further formation. It's very nature induces health in the hair follicles and scalp and in THIS way tha advent of gray hair is retarded. FAMO is not a hair dye, neither does it contain any alcohol, greases or chemicals which frequently are a detriment rather than preserving and

building up by natural processes a nice head of hair. FAMO stops falling hair and itching scalp. The clean pure nature of FAMO and its delicate odor are additional reasons why the use of this hair preparation is preferred by the most refined and fastidious.

For Men: FAMO wi.'I be found in all the better barber shops. Ask for it and insist on having it. YOU WILL LIKE FAMO.
