RAILROAD MAN SAYS ALL THESE
STORIES ABOUT EASY MON
EY IN THE WEST ARE
MERE FICTION.

Young man from Ohio don't take
Greeley's advice and go west. That
line of dope is good enough for New
Workers."
This is the advice handed out by H.
Humph, representative of a Buckeye
railroad, who makes his headquarters
at the Hotel Mckinley.
Mr.. Humph returned Tuesday from
the wild and wooley west, where he
saw, besides sand and buzzards, many
from Ohio.
Most of these he said were dead
broke. Had it not been for the cook
on the dining car of the train on
which he was riding two of them al
lcsst would have dropped in the sand
not many miles away from the dread
ed Death Valley.
Being railroad man himself he
said he could appreciate the adVer-
tising done by concerns such as en-
ploy him, and the inducements they
hand out 10 men desiring to settle
in western locality.
But aside from that, he said, he
believes many men from this state
are being constantly misled and that
the best things they can do, If they
insist upon going away, is to take
with them enough money with which
to come back.

Health and Beauty Helps
BY MRS. MAE MARTYN.

A. G. M: My dear girl, never use a
depilatory or hair remover" Al
chemical that is powerful enough to-
kill hair is likely to prove harmful to
the skin. None of them has perma-
nent effect They remove the hair for
only few weeks at the most, and 1t
comeo back thicker and blacker than
ever.
Esther ": was glad to read that
you are recommending my almozoin
complexion jelly recipe to your
friends. / do not understand why your
cousin was unable to get almozoin
from her druggist, for it is almost as
common as camphor / never advise
the use of anything that is difficult
to obtain and If your druggist should
be out of any ingredient he can easily
procure 1t from his wholesaler IL he
vents to. The shampoo recipe you
ask for consists only of / teaspoonful
of canthrox dissolved in a cup of hot
water. 1t lathers freely and will thor
oughly cleanse the scalp. BY sham
pooning the hair with canthrox every
2 or weeks it will remain soft and
fluffy. Canthrox also relieves itching
and irritation of the scalp. Beauty
specialists charge rs cents to $1.00 for
canthrox shampoos. You can take one
at home for about one cent. If trou-

Mrs. R. L.: The rough and itching
skin of your baby indicates that 1t is

4 ounces of luxor with tablespoon
fuls Of alcohol and " pint of water.
Repeat the application several times
each day until the irritation disap-
pears.

with q sallow complexion and Oily
skin who cannot find face powder
that pleases her. But you need not
despair. There are other aids to
beauty more satisfactory than face
powder and the use of washes is be-
coming more popular everywhere, not
withstanding their high price. Here
