b. B.: The best and cheapest sham
poo know of is made from pure, plain
canthrox. Simply dissolve teaspoon
full OF canthrox in tea cup of hot wa
ter and stir we'll until all is dissolved:
then proceed to shampoo by pouring

M. W.: 1t ia true that exercising and
dieting have brought about satisfac-
tory results to many who considered
themselves too fat, but If you are so
situated that you cannot take exer-

Mrs. l.. l.: Yes, eczema Is frequent

ounces OF luxor with u mint OF water
and tablespoonful of alcohol. After
shaking the bottle, pour a small guam
tity upon the rough and itching surface
and allowing 1t to dry, repeating the
treatment several times each day until
the irritation disappears anu the skin
is restored to a healthy condition.
I. G. M: For unbroken chilblains
rubbing with common table salt is one
of the best remedies known. Add Just

A Bad Taste in the Mouth.

1t is anything but pleasant to awake
with a bad taste in the mouth. This
always arises from a disordered stom-

per. They cleanse and invigorate the
stomach, improve the digestion and

Health and Beauty Hints
BY MISS MAE MARTINI.

]. M. s.: No, do not know of any
means to increase the height. How to
grow tall" is beyond my knowledge. l
advise you to quit worrying and be
content to remain as you are. / am
glad You like my shampoo recipe and
l am sorry you had trouble in get
ting canthrox. / never mention an in
gredient for any recipe that you can
not obtain in any first-class drug store
without difficulty. If your druggist
happens to be out OF any article nam
ed he can easily obtain 1t from his
wholesaler.
Anxious Inquirer: Large pores and
blackheads are frequently caused by
use Of face powders. Almozoin cream
jelly (you can make it yourself) is the
best remedy l know for clearing the
skin of blackheads, large pores, GER
tain types OF pimples, etc. Put an
ounce of almozoin in fruit jar and
add u pint of cold water and two tea
spoonfuls Of glycerine, stir briskly for
a few minutes and let stand until it
become thick cream jelly. For massag-
ing, apply with the fingers an let
remain for minute on the
face and then rub wen with
the hands. The dirt will at once
roll off and the pores will be thorough
ly cleansed. In cases of tan, freckles.
chapped face, ETC.. apply and let re-
remain for a few hours. 1t contains no
fats or oils that will cause hair to
grow, so you can use 1t as freely as
you wish
X. Y. d.: Face lotions or washes
are to be preferred to ordinary face
powders, but the manufactured brands
are pretty expensive for everyday use.
Your sallow, dark and oily skin can be
made white and more youthful If you
will use this recipe: To half pint
of hot water and two teaspoonfuls Of
glycerine add 4 ounces OF spurmax;
let stand until cold. Apply to the
hands and face with the palm Of the
hand and continue rubbing the skin
where applied until dry. This is a
complexion beautifier that whitens
the skin. 1t is also good for cold
sores.
Ellen r.: To keep your eyes bright
and clear, use an eye tonic made by dis
solving an ounce of crystos in a pint
of water. This makes an eye tonic
that is good for tired, weak or inflam-
ed eyes. 1t will not smart or burn.
1t strengthens the sight, tends to
make tae eyes beautiful and lustrous,
and is an aid to those who wear glass
es Apply by dropping one or two
drops in each eye.
Grace j.: Your blood is out OF or

are probably caused by torpid liver.

Major Meiss and Party viii Leave
For Des MoInes Tomorrow to
Commence Trip Down
Des Molnes River.
FIVE ARE IN THE PARTY
Newspaper Representative, Des Moines
Business Man. Messrs. Theo.
Meyins and George
Hartel.

The launch Hornet" built by the
government engineering department
at the second lock shops, was complet-
ed this morning and was shipped to
Des MONIES today. The boat will ar
rive in that city on Friday morning
and will be ready for launching the
first of next week, when Major Meigs
and party will have arrived in Des
Moines and will be ready for the very
unusual trip down the Des MONIES
river.
Major Meigs will leave tomorrow
for Des Moines accompanied by Mess
RS. Theodore Meyling and George
Hartel. The former will act as boat
man and will assist Mr.. Meigs in max
ing measurements and soundings dur
ing the trip while Mr.. Hartel will take
care of the engine.
Two Des Moines gentlemen, a son OF
the Hon. LATE Young and A. F. Miller,
president of the Home Savings bank
|of that city will also accompany the
party. Mr.. Young who is q reporter
on the Des Moines Register and Lead
eds staff will make notes of the trip
for his paper. Mr.. Miller is gentle
man who has long been interested in
the project of making the Des Moines
river navigable and for this reason
was invited by Major Meigs to make
the trip.
Several days will have to be spent
in Des Moines in making arrange
ments for the trip by the party and the
start will not be made probably before
Monday, although there is possibility
that the boat may be launched Satur-
day should nothing unforeseen occur to
delay the trip. About a weeks time
will be taken in making the trip, is es-
| timated by M. Meigs. The locks at
Ottumwa may prove to be an obstruc-
ton but this is the only large obstruc-
ton that will give the party any trou-
BILE. Engineer Meigs has written to
the Ottumwa Commercial association
asking for information regarding the
locks at that place that will be invalu-
able to the progress Of the Hornet"
Colonel Richie who had at first in
tended to make the trip with the party
has sent word to Major Meigs. stating
that he would be unable to go. The
trip will no doubt be an eventful one
and one long to be remembered by
those who are SO fortunate as to ac-
company Major Meigs. Reports OF the
trip will no doubt be watched with in
tense interest by all river men.

The "Hornet."

The Hornet, the boat to be used on
the Des Moines river trip, is an un-
pretentions looking little craft, being
but twenty-six feet long and with no
needless fancy work used in its build
ing. The boat, though small, will ac-
commodate very comfortably, the five
gentlement wha are to make the trip.
No canopy will be used as it would be
in the way of those who are making
the trip to take in every detail of the
Des MONIES and make report to the
water ways commission.

ed white and the upper part Of the
craft is stained with walnut The
launch will draw about twenty-eight
inches of water, quite a bit for so
small craft. The engine used is Of
the best type and no trouble is ex-
pected to arise there. Lockers for
slowing away such odds and ends as
are needed on a trip such as the party
is about to make, are built in the boat
