There have been loud shouts of
graft by those on the board who take
pleasure in calling themselves insur-
gents and who se- that they have been
elected to clean things out in the school
board.
MY solution of the whole matter is
that these so-caIled graft hunters are
making scapegoats of Mr.. Cuthbert
and myself in order to keep faith with
what they were pleased to term the
bad business policy of the board. Find
ing none of the graft that they expect
do, and as they say, for tn principle
of the thing have tried to cast re-

Mr.. Swendson is not sincere in what
he says or maintains. At the meeting
Monday night he made the statement
that if the board would agree to vote
to pay his attorney fees he would sign
the vouchers for the two bills under
contention. In other words, he agreed
to tolerate what he called unlawful
practice on condition that the board

Dry Shampoo Better
Than Soap and Water
(From the New York Graphic.)

"Once in two or three months is as
often as it is advisable to wash the
hair with soap and water" says Clari-
bel Montague, the beauty expert. The
rubbing, drying and rinsing, together
with the action of the alkali in the
soap-especialIy the alkali-tend to
make the hair coarse, hard and brittle.
Too much moisture causes the hair to
become thin and lose it's color.
"A simple and satisfactory dry
shampoo is made by mixing four
ounces of powdered orris root with
four ounces of therox. Sprinkle a
tablespoonful of this mixture on the
head and brush thoroughly through
the hair once or twice week. That
is all there is to it. This treatment
not only keeps the hair light, fluffy
and lustrous, but therox produces the
growth of new hair

THE FATNESS OF HEALTH
Samose Fills Out the Curves and
Makes Thin People Fat.

If you are thin, your health is not
what it should be. If you are losing
weight steadily, there is something
wrong that should be attended to at
once. You cannot be healthy and
strong if you are thin.
Perfect health and good, solid beau
tifuI flesh can only come through the
use of Samose, the remarkable flesh
forming food.
This makes the thin and scrawny,
plump and robust; it mixes with the
food so that all of the elements that
make solid bone firm muscle and good
flesh are thoroughly assimilated and
retained in the system.
Samose is not drug or a stimulant;
it is a scientific flesh forming food that
restores thin people to normal con-
dition of good healthy flesh.
These statements are confirmed by
Geo. W. Stansfield's offer to refund
the money to anyone buying and using
Samose who does not gain in weight
as promised. The risk is all his. The
thin and scrawny can buy Samose at
Druggist Stansfeld's store, 632 Kan
sas avenue. Topeka, with the know
ledge that if it is not successful it will
cost absolutely nothing.
