preference to any and ali methods for
identifying the hair. 1t is claimed
that this method is superior to washing
the hair and creates a clean. lustrous,
wavy head of hair in a short time. No
matter how dry and iiveless the hair.
the following dry shampoo will soon
work wonders if regularly used: With
8 ounces of powdered orris root, mix
9 ounces of antiseptic vilane powder.
Keep in a tight jar or box and at night
apply a tablespoonful, distributing it
through the hair with the fingers. In
the morning use comb and brush to re-

women both use it with the utmost
satisfaction. Obtain the ingredients

TO private HOMES
Dependents of State Receive
Attention.

indianapolis, Jan. 19.-Depsnden,
children are to receive more atten
ton from the board of state charities
next two years. The board is recon-
mended to receive $500 more for
maintaining the state agency than
previously, total of S13.500 for two
years.
About 1900 children are now housed
in state institutions and the board is
determined to put them into private
homes, where it has already placed
approximately 800. at the rate of from
200 10 ESQ year.
Amos W. Butler. secretary. says il
costs counties about s125 for each
child annually. To put them into
private homes saves this expense and
is better for the children.
