THIS SHAMPOO BEST
FOR ElgIM[E USE

Soaps and most ready-prepared
shampoos are ruinous to the hair,
writes Mae Martyr in the Los Angeles
Herald. as they contain alkali. which
is responsible for scalp troubles and
dull, scanty. falling, brittle hair---oft-
times mistakably attributed to wear
ing false hair.
For restoring the natural gloss and
fuffiness to dull, stringy, scant hair
there is nothing to compare with a
shampoo made by dissolving a tea
spoonful of canthrox i'll cup Of hot
water. 1t makes creamy, cleansing
lather that removes every particle OF
dirt, dandruff and excess oil from the
scalp and stops itching. 1t rinses off
easily and dries in just few minutes.
This peculiar shampoo gives to
the hair a most plea sing richness and
fuffiness. and will have the common
dation of every woman troubled with
soanty, short, brittle or faded hair
who uses it.

acrobat to do the leap made up as my
fathers counterpart, while my father
would slip back under cover Of the
tower wall and descend to his dressing
room by means of a hidden ladder.
1.-The afternoon the acrobat came tt
the theater to rehearse he made the
leap, and then he set up a loud com
plant.
"'What's the matter?' asked a young
member Of the company who happened
to be in the theater.
"'Why,' said the acrobat in a dis
gusted voice. this here leap Is toe
tame. It's too easy. A man with glass
eyes and cork legs could do it. Now,
If they'd let me throw two dip-daps in

Tho Conqueror.
It's easy to laugh when the skies are blue
And the sun Is shining bright;
Yes, easy to laugh when your friends are
true
And there's happiness in sight.
But when hope has fed and the skies are
gray
And the friends Of the past have turned
away.
All. then In deed it's a hero's feat
To c~onjure a smile in the face of defeat!
It's easy to laugh when the battles fought
And you know that the victory's won:
Yes. easy to laugh when the prize you
sought
Is yours when the race Is run,
But here's to the man who can laugh
when the blast
OF adversity's blows! He will conquer at
last,
For the hardest man in the world to beat
Is the man who can laugh in the face Of
defeat.
