Edit eaith: Inasmuch as
the time is-.es.y near for the nomination
Of a representative from this county to
therrext legislature, it becomes very
necessary that tho good people Of this
eSsansy come together, agree upon, and
noxsinate some ots for representative
who will be q useful and attentive rep
resentative to the interests Of Leflore
county in the coming session Of the Leg
islature. or all the Offices, none is more
important than the representative of

ly interested in legislation, for the
reason that this is a rich county, aud it
is a we'll known fact that the tendency
is to put the burden of taxation on rich
counties, and thereby relieve the hill
portion of the state from its just share
of taxation. We fee confident that in
the person of Hon. D. P. Montgomery
Leflore county will be ably represented.
Mr.. Montgomery is a lawyer by pro-
iession, and in every way qualified to
discharge the duties of this Office. Aside
from his ability to discharge the duties
of the Office, he has a most extensive
acquaintance throughout the state,
which will be of invaluable assistance
70 him in the next session Of the legis-
ture. There is not a a in Leflore

Gated, nd of a pleasing address, which
Is Indispensable to the success Of a rep

Dy Syhliitd Why.
Now that rats, rolls and multi
tudinous switches are no longer
in favor with Fashions followers,
there Is hope that woman's hair
may be saved.
That much damage has been
done we all know. Even those who
have been wilfully blind will own
that their locks are not what they
were in the rat-lass, switch-less
days.
The hair that we have left is,
perhaps, oily. Then the best we
can do is to give the scalp an
egg shampoo once a month and
a dry shampoo half way between
those dates. Care must be taken
to keep the medium used In the
dry shampoo on the hair, for if 1t
reaches the scalp it's apt to cake
there, and cause trouble.
Or perhaps the hair Is brittle,
which is a worse condition than
the oily hair. The first move is
to improve the general health and
bowel digestion. Use a good quiz
nine tonic for the scalp and brush
the hair we'll each night on re-
firing.
1t it's prematurely gray, sham
Ipoo every IA days and use a good
quinine tonic, putting 1t en- with
| light massage with finger tips.
Brush vigorously every morning.
Run fingers through the hair and
Ipull gently. This will improve
the nourishment of the hair and
help it to retain it's color and
luster.
And dandruff Is cause of
widespread complaints. 1t is
caused by lack of air traits, rolls
and switches responsibility to the
scalp, lowered condition of health,
and poor scalp circulation. Weekly
shampoos with rinsing In warm
then cold water, exposing the scalp
to air and sunshine daily, light
massage daily and brushing thor
oughly morning and evening will
improve conditions.
The best aids to hair health are
cleanliness, through monthly Cat
the longest) shampoos, massage,
| frequent brushing, and frequent
airings in the sun--which lis one
of the most important items. The
hair should be loosely braided at
night and never under any circum-
stances should a hairpin be left in
| 1t then.
To use the egg shampoo success
fully, wet the hair first, then
break the egg directly into it and
shampoo vigorously as with soap
suds for five minutes. Wash the
egg out with very warm CASTLE
lsoapsuds. Rinse several times in
