Straight nonsense for his daily fara

And then II will not be declined

But when he feels the weight and care
OF business in the very air
He wants the finest, choicest brand
OF common sense you have on hand.
Man takes himself. as you may n0ta.

For dollars he must hold his face
As rigid as q piece of steel

days and the present cold spell seems
to have added a great deal to the
needs and wants of the poor of the
city. In an interview Capt. Bouterse,
of the Salvation Army, said yesterday
that appeals for help had been very
many, and some very urgent cases had
come to his attention, especially for
clothing, fuel and bedding. There are
several cases of sickness and the par
ties greatly need assistance. One is a
woman. a widow. in the eastern part
of the city, who is too sick to do the
usual few washings by which she had
made her living and was compelled to
stay in bed, without any stove or fuel
and proper food. The Army has pro-
Vided her with a stove and fuel and
the city is now sending her some
groceries.

not tear the hair as does q comb.
Without natural oils bought hair

sticky.
False hair can be washed in thick
soapsuds made from pure white soap.
Only the lather should be used and
rinse in several waters. Dry between
chamois cloths or press almost dry in
the hands. then hang in a current Of
air and when dry shake and brush
until fluffy.
Occasional washing with gasoline
