when Your Hair
Is Dull and Dusty
(rrom the Montreal Trlbune)

"washing the head requires time,
exposes one to catching cold and when
ali is done 1t is a question if you have
helped the appearance of your hair.
Too much moisture Injuries the hair.
"On the other hand, dry shampoo
REQUIRES only few minutes. The pow
der is sprinkled on the head, then
brushed thoroughly through the hair,
That is all there is to it, 1t takes out
ali the dust, oil and daEdruff and
leaves the scalp cool, rested and re-
freshed
"The best dry shampoo powder is
a mixture Of four ounces of orris root
with four ounces of therox. Therox is
a natural hair grower and makes the
hair glossy, brilliant and fluffy. Use
this dry shampoo once a week and If
your hair is inclined to be harsh, dry
or faded it soon will become soft, lus-

The Houston Post OF Monday con
tains an editorial on THE Wicked
ness OF Washington" the object OF
which is to make It's readers believe
that the father OF his country was a
drunkard. a blasphemer and a liber'
tine. Washington. being human, was,
OF course. not without faults. but the
concensus OF mankind has apotheo-
sized him as one Of the purest and
noblest men who ever lived. What is
the motive OF this effort TO biacken
his name? Evidently to make the i'm.
preston that there are no good men
and that all who pretend to be such
are hypocrites. The moral influence
OF such teaching is degrading and cor
rupting. The Post reminds us OF the
fox in the fable who after losing his
tail in a steel trap while on a thieving
expedition tried 10 persuade the other
foxes that tails were out OF fashion
and only old fogies wore them.
