To Keep the Hair
Light and Fluffy
Q'rom Chicago Inter OCEAN,

The proper care Of the hair docs not
require a woman to scour her scalp with
soap and drench her hair with water
until a shampoo, including drying the
hair, takes the better part OF the day.
In fact, the less soap and water used on
the hair the better, as alkali and moisture
tend to make the hair coarse, dull and
brittle,
II you want to keep the scalp clean and
the hair light and fluffy, try dry sham
pooling. Put in a quart jar, or any other
handy containcr, four ounces Of powdered
orris root and four ounces Of therox. Stir
and shake until thoroughly mixed. A
beautiful cleansing powder with a deli
cate perfume will be the result.
Sprinkle tablespoonful OF this mixture
on the head and then brush it well
through the hair. This brings out the
natural color Of the hair, makes it soft
and glossy, and if continued regularly
tends to make the hair long and abundant,
for it is a natural hair grower

CARTER DENIES CHARGE,
Says Appointment Of U. S. Marshal
Was Not Part of "Deal."

Helena.-Former Senator Thomas
H. Carter in an interview te1ephoned
to local paper, makes strenuous
denial to the charge of his colleague,
Senator Dixon, that the appointment
of Charles S. Henderson to be United
States marshal for Montana was part
of deal whereby Carter was to gain
democratic votes in his candidacy be-
fore the legislature which was, at that
time, balloting on his successor.
Dixon, who is also a republican, as
serts that Carter and Taft had an UNI
derstanding to the effect that if the
appointment was made, assurance had
been given that certain democratic
members of the legislature would, on
the final ballot, switch their protested
policies and vote for Carter. Dixon
declares the appointment was made
without his knowledge.
Carter, in reply, says that the insin-
uation of Dixon is absurd. He asserts
that he urged Dixon to join with him
In urging the appointment and that all
recommendations received by him
were turned over to Dixon, who said
he was not ready to act. Carter said
further that the attorney general also

Imprisonment was imposed by Justice
Howard on Mrs. Edith Melber follow
ing her conviction of killing her only
child by forcing acid down his throat
in desolate Albany suburb on the
night OF Jan. 6 last. A verdict of
murder in the second degree was re-

my life. I'm ready to die"
AS she was leaving the courtroom
her eyes fell upon Howard Kirk, her
love for whom, according to the theory
OF the prosecution, instigated the
crime. A flash of anger lighted her
usually impressive features and she
cried:
"I'll have you in Auburn with me
before long"
Kirk smirked, but said nothing.
The crime for which Mrs. Melber
was convicted was the killing of her
4-year-old son George in an out of the
way bog on the outskirts of Albany.
The boy was strangled with acid.
Five days later his body was found by
hunter, and Mrs. Melbers arrest at
Rochester followed.

Rudolph VorhoIz Dies Refusing to
Disclose AssaiIant's Name

Butte.-One of the most mystifying
murder cases in the recent history of
Butte was brought to trial when the
case of William Roberts, on the charge
of having murdered Rudolph Vorholz
on the night of November last, was
called before District Judge Michael
Donkan. Vorholz, although conscious
to the end and realizing that he was
about to die, studiously withheld any
word that would tend to identify his
slayer or shed light on the motive that
actuated his shooting, although from
facts picked up by the officers it was
evident that he knew his assailant and
the causes leading up to his Shooting.
Vorholz was brewery man. The Of
ficers have held to the theory that
woman's honor was involved in the
deed, but nothing to strengthen this
theory has yet been disclosed.

elk are suffering the worst, and the

Jones is of the opinion that much of
the difficulty has resulted from the
practice Of feeding the elk, for they

Ell Paso, March 17.--Before any pro-

the insurrectos here, Diaz must agree
to declare null his election of 1910
and must agree to submit to a new
election under the terms for free bal

He must agree to grant all the political
reforms demanded. The insurrectos
must not be required to surrender their
arms until peace is assured.
This is the reply of Senior Gonzales
Cara, the insurrectos' secretary of
state, to the statement from New York
that Senior Limantour, the Mexican
minister of finance, had formulated
tentative plains for ending the insur-
rection, and, in effect, it is the reply
of Francisco I. Madero, the revolutions
airy leader, who is now fighting in the
field.
Senior Cara has been in communica-
ton with Madero and has acquainted
Madero with whatever negotiations
have been carried on in Washington
and New York looking to settlement.
Francisco Madero is looked on as the
revolutionary president and as repre-
senting the will of the insurrectos, and
no peace plans will be entered into un-
til he has given his consent and fully
gone over the details, Senior Cara
said.
