Here's a ''Cure" Fer
Dull, Brittle Hair

Careless or improper treatment OF
the scalp so often results in dull,
brittle, 'stringy' hair" says Mrs. Mae
Martyr, in the San Francisco Record.
This is so easy to correct" she con-
tinues, that it is possible for every
woman to have beautiful hair, and
an abundance of IL.
"A teaspoonful of canthrox dis
solved in a cup hot water is sufficient
mixture for a thorough cleansing Of
scalp and hair. and shampooing with
this is a positive delight. The can
throx mixture soothes, invigorates
and stimulates. and quickly brings
about a healthy condition. insuring
a plentiful growth of silky hair, that
doing it up is a pleasure you will
thoroughly enjoy"

much of the agricultural and fruit
sections of the United States.
Il have seen frost-bitten oranges
cover the ground six inches deep
in California, where they smudge
more than they do in these val
legs.
Il have seen corn and other
grain fields laid waste as far as the
eye could reach, in the great grain
growing states, by drouth. In every
country l have visited | have found
drawbacks and more or less dissat-
isfied people.
81 believe | have found less draw
backs and witnessed less discon-
tent right here than anywhere, and
likewise, more general prosperity.
There are the bitches, the water
in abundance and the rich soil, the
mixing of which insures crops. We
always raise something a
great deal-and our crops are so
many and so varied that we come
out ahead practically every year
