FRANCE MUs1ERs TROOPS
HELD IN READINESS DURING
 DIPLOMATIC CONFERENCE.
Moroccan Tangie Between Germany, France and Britain More Hope
 ful, But Still Difficult.

Paris, France-Great optimism pre- vailed at the capital though 1t was admitted that the negotiations with Germany regarding the Moroccan af- fair remain difficult.
 The statement by Premier Asquith in the British house of commons and Premier CaillauX's advice to the French to keep cool and be prudent relieved the tension at a moment when relief was most needed and the discreet military preparations were giving rise to the apprehension that war was not impossible.
 These preparations included orders to the cavalry to be ready for the field at the first signal. the heavy provisioning of the forts on the east ern frontier by special supply trains run out of Paris at night, and the mastering of all regiments to their full quota.
 It is understood that Baron von Kid 1 erlen Waechter, the German foreign secretary who is conducting the nego- tiations with Jules Cambon, the French ambassador at Berlin, has modified his original program, and is now asking for part, instead of the whole coast of French Congo, but at the same time naming other condi- tions which France would find diff culty in accepting. Nevertheless. there Is a strong feeling that a solu tion will be found.

THR PROPER WAY
TO SHAMPOO

In speaking Of the careless way in
which most women care for their
hair. Mrs. Mac Martyr. the noted
authority. writes as follows in the Los
Angeles News. The increasing bald
ness Of women with accompanying
scalp troubles is becoming alarming.
Short, thin. dull, faded. brittle. falling.
streaky hair is very common. Few
seem to realize that these troubles
arc often caused by the alksli in the
soap used for shAmpooing. IL Is too
strong for tho hair and eats tho very
life out OF it..
1.-THE only safe. reliable shampoo !
know Of is perhaps the least expen-
sive. It is made by dissolving a tea
spoonful Of tanthrox In q cup Of hot
water. No other shampoo fathers 90
we'll, cleanses so thoroughly or will
remove dirt and dandruf - salts
iactorily. 1t Is tho finest thing I have
ever found for making the hair soft,
aufy and lustrous. II women would
use this splendid shampoo exclusively,
we would hear less Of hair and scalp
troubles" Advt.
