Health and Beauty Hints
By MRS. MAE MARTYR.

Mrs. c. A: You are running your
hair using soap for shampoo purposes
The alkali dries out the scalp and causes
dandruff, and dull, lifeless, stringy hair
For your case | know of nothing better
than a plain canthrox shampoo This
makes an abundance of rich, penetrating
lather that thoroughly eleanses and in
vigorateS You viii find on using this that
the hair dries evenly and quickly and
takes on rich gloss and softness. on
can get canthrox al the drug store, and
a teasponful dissolved ina cup Of hot
water is enough for good shampoo
Eva It is distressing to have a shiny,
muddy skin. but that can be corrected If
you dissolve four ounces spurmax in one
half pint hot water and add two tea
spoonfuls glycerine When cold apply to
the skin and rub lightly until dry A few
times using cleanses the skin of Impure
ties and banishes freckles and tan You
will find this better than powder, as II is
invisible when on and does not rub off or
spot from perspration.
Nell, Don't worry about the fuzz on
your chin. To rid the skin of the objec-
tionable growth, get an ounce of delatone
at the drug store and with water mix
some into a paste, then apply to hairy
surface and after two or three minutes
rub off and wash the skin carefully.
While delatone costs a dollar an ounce,
ii seldom requires second application
to completely remove superiiuous hairs.
NJ: Expressive eyes never lack in
brillancy yet to keep them SO, II is nee
essary to give them proper care and at
tention Whenever your eyes ache or
grow tired use an eye-tonic. made by
dissolvng an ounce of crystos IN pint
of cold water. A few drops in each eye
twice daily quickly relieves the smart or
ache and aside from STRENGTHENING the
eyes gives to them remarkable briiiian-
cy and sparkle
Ada c.: Your dull. streaky hair can
be made bright and rich in shade II you

scalp tonic. To half pint alcohol add 4
half-pint water. then pour in one ounce
quinzoin, Massage a little into the scalp
two or three times week for a while
and you will find dandrum or oliness
disappears and the hair will grow long
and silky and be easy to do up.
Maude B.: If you want health and
strength you must keep the blood free of
poisonous Accommodations, and unless you
attend to this Immediately serious re-
suits may follow. Make up and take this
tonic: Dissolve an ounce of kardene In
haif-pint alcohol, then stir in one-half
cupful sugar, and hot water to make
full quart Taking a tablespoonful of
this mixture before meals rids the sys-
| tenn ef#imparitiess@sebuts waste tissue
and makes you we'll and strong You
will find this kardene tonic splendid for
clearing the skin of pimples and sallo@-
ness
Mary: Large pores can be reduced and
the skin cleared of local impurities Il. you
use my almozoin cream Jelly. This is in
expensive and should be on every wo-
mans dresser: To a half-pint of cold
water add an ounce almozoin and two
tea spoonfuls glycerine. Let stand several
hours before using. Used freely 1t works
wonders with the skin, and no matter
how sallow or unnatural 1t may nave
been, after a short while the skin grows
soft and beautiful Wrinkles and hne
lines vanish as If by magis and hollows
soon round out whenever almozoin cream
jelly is used
Madge: 1t is an easy matter to regain
your former weight without dieting or
indulging in violent exercise IL you en-
pioy the parnotis treatment, which is in
expensive and easy to prepare Get four
ounces parnotis and dissolve in pint
and a half of hot water. Strain wnen

THE DELEGATES
FROM HAWAII

CHICAGO, ILL.,, August 2O.-Gov.
ernor Frear writes, in a recent letter.
TO the headquarters of the National
Irrigation Congress, that he has APP
pointed an advisory committee with
which the officers of the irrigation
congress can cooperate in making its
coming meeting here, December 10
8, of the greatest benefit to Hawaii.
Members of the advisory commit
tee appointed by the Governor are:
Ralph S. Hosmer, William o. Smith,
Alonzo Gartley, Walter F. Dillingham;
Jared G. Smith, all of Honolulu.
"Save the forests, store the floods
reclaim the deserts make homes on
the land" is the motto of the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress and clearly
sets forth it's objects. OF particular
interest is the consideration the con.
gress will give at this session to rec.
lamation by drainage.
This year it's sessions are held sim
ultaneously with the United States
Land and Irrigation Exposition and
the International Live Stock Show
These three big events offer unusual
opportunities for communities to
make known their advantages to hun
dreds of thousands of prospective
farmers and settlers, and that inter.
ested states might make the most OF
these opportunities the suggestion
was made that their governors ap'
point advisory committees.

to have been reached whereby the

Atwood a greater sum than was first
offered
Stevens is said to have demanded
