Health and Beauty Advice
BY MRS. MAE MARTYR.

Cora E.: AS you have so much
trouble to make your hair stay up ana
look neat, try shampooing it twice a
month with a teaspoonful of canthrOX
dissolved IN a cup of hot water. This
shampoo is the one generally used by
the best hairdressers. 1t produces an
abundant lather, dries quickly and not
only cleans the hair and scalp well,
but stops all irritation and gives the
scalp a feeling of pleasing freshness.
Canthrox makes a delightful shampoo,
and will make your hair soft and
fluffy. You will have little trouble
then to make your hair look nice.
Never use soap for shampoolng, as It
makes the hair brittle, harsh and takes
away the glossy look.
Mrs. L. f.: No doubt glasses spoil
your looks Probably you would have
no need to wear glasses If you would
use a good eye tonic. Get an ounce
of crystos from your druggist and dis
solve it in a pint of water. Drop one
or two drops In each eye once or twice
a day This is wonderfully strength.
ening to the eyes, and will not smart
or burn, but makes dull-looking eyes
bright and clear. 1t is just fine for
dull, tired, infiamed or weak eyes and
for granulated eye-lids..
Della X: Face powder will not help
your dark face and neck to any ex-
tent. 1t rubs off too easily and does no
permanent good. What yo< need IS
something to whiten and beautify
your skin and take away that dark,
coarse look. The finest thing I have
ever seen for this is a lotion made
from ounces of spurmax, half-pint
OF hot water and teaspoonfuls of gly-
cerine. Apply little Of this lotion 20
your face, neck and arms and see how
wonderfully it will improve your looks
1t will give you a beautiful complexion
and make any sallow or oily skin look
fresh and youthful. Spurmax lotion
Is inexpensive and have found it
splendid for pimpies, tan, freckles, cold
sores and shiny skin. You can get
spurmax at any drug store.
j G. f.: The best tonic I have ever
used Is made by dissolving "A teacup-
full sugar and 1 ounce OF kardene in
halfpint of alcohol, adding enough
boiling water to make quart OF tonic
Take tablespoonful before each meal
and before retiring. It win tone up
your system, give you an appetite and
do away with that tired feeling you
speak of. 1t is fine for clearing up
'sallow complexion, arousing the liver.
removing liver blotches, pimples and
other skin eruptions. / use this tonic

Aged Man Hurt In Fall. August
Heden, an aged man, suffered the frac-
ture Of both his right arm and his
right leg in fall into deep culvert
which is being constructed on Fulton
Havenue and Mound street and as a re-
suit Of the fall is lying at his home,
1926 Bridge avenue, with only fair
chances OF recovery because of his ad-
lvaneed age. The accident happened
in view of several people and just how
it occurred is not definitely known.
1t is claimed that he was walking near
the edge of the freshly dug culvert,
which at this point is about 20 feet
in depth and that the edge OF the ditch
caved in, throwing him headlong 10
the bottom. When picked up he was
nealy unconscious and a physician
was summoned and had the injured
man removed to his home. He refused
to be taken to a hospital, notwith-
standing the seriousness of his injury.
Unless pneumonia sets in it is ex.
pected that he will survive the acct
dent.

Mrs. B.: You can easily get rid. of
your excess fat, even though all the
remedies you have tried did you no
good. Get ounces of parnotis from
your druggist and dissolve 1t in a pint
of hot water and try this. Take a
tablespoonful before each meal. It
generally cuts down surplus flesh
rapidly and will not injure your health
in any way. You will feel better and
never have to worry about your weight
increasing.
G.. E t.: You cannot get rid Of
dandruff permanently by merely brush
ing the scalp. Your itching scalp and
brittle, falling hair win split ends are
sure signs of neglect. Try shampooing
your hair every two weeks with can
throx and use a hair tonic made by
dissolving an ounce of quinzoin in a
half-pint of alcohol and adding Il pint
cold water. Use this tonic regularly
and it will remove the dandruff and
irritation, stop your hair from falling
out and make It soft and glossy. You
will find this a very refreshing tonic
for the hair and scalp.
Sibyl H: 1t is a shame for a girl Of
your age to have wrinkles. No wonder
your sweetheart seems to be taking =
fancy to your chum, who is better
looking. Try this complexion jelly
and you will be surprised how it will
clear your skin and fill in those horrid
wrinkles. This greaseless cream can
be made by mixing L ounce of almo-
zoin with II pint cold water and 2
teaspoonfuls of glycerine. Stir and
let stand. This makes a splendid AMI
inexpensive cream. It will clean the
pores, keep the skin free from black
heads, and is excellent for chapped
hands and face. find it excellent for
reducing the size of large pores In the
skin. and for removing tan, freckles
and certain types of pimples. rec
ommend it for massage purposes; It
leaves the skin soft and smooth and
contains no grease or oil to cause hair
to grow on the face
Mary o.: Eczema, salt rheum,
rashes, and other skin diseases can
generally be overcome by using a rem
edy made by mixing 4 ounces OF luxor,
tablespoonfuls of alcohol and half
pint OF water Shake bottle and apply
the lotion to affected part three or

There was something of a howl over his
being on the active list for pay, and on
the retired list for pole hunting. and
other naval officers doing his work, and
so the Navy Department let him go
without pay for one year. He was per-

TO demonstrate that it could not be
done. The objectors to DIR. Cook ought

hour or two Of President Taft when
he is making the lap homeward
thru the South, and the President
is said to have promised that he
would stop. Then it was found
that he couldn't, and the schedule
ignores Columbus. Whereat Co
lumbus people are now on the
verge of showing that it was an
impertinence of them to ask for the
President even. They are trying
to get the people to sign a petition
asking the President not to come
thru the town at all. All of which
goes to show that it is for adver-
tising purposes solely and simply
that Columbus wanted the Presi-
dent. He has wisely decided to
drop that snivelinG little town from
