Spirits and the guests came with
smiling faces and happy greetings,
each one bringing a Sunday appetite.
The best evidence that the menu was
more than satisfying is the fact that
even after the normal appetites were
satisfied they still continued to eat.
1t is needless to say that the supply
was more than equal to the demand.
A substantial token came from Mrs.
A. E. Probyn of Lawrence, Mich, in
addition to many beautiful and useful
articles presented by the guests.
The shower of beautiful cards of re
membrance which came from distant
friends as we'll as others were hearth

LARNED COMING.

Elsewhere We mention the visit of
The Lamed business men to the Rush
county fair at Rush Centre, predicting
that they would be making this city
a visit next. We were not so far off
as they are scheduled to be here this
evening, about $50 strong, with the
band. We understand the scheme to
be that they win give band concert
in the park after which visitors and
local people will repair to the CON-
mercial club where a general gabfest
and good time will be held. We trust
our people will all turn out and give
the visitors a cordial welcome, so
that they will want to come back
again and feel that they have had a
rafting good time on this trip.

THE BIG PICNIC.

It was not our pleasure to attend
either of the picnics given at Ellin-
wood or Hoisington Monday, Labor
Day, duties from which We could not
escape demanding our time and at
tention. However, large numbers Of
Great Benders attended both, most
Of them going to Ellinwood, and all
report, regardless of the place they
went, as having a fine time.
The Hoisington affair was under
che auspices of the Missouri Pacific
shop men, who left no stone unturn-
cd to show their visitors a rousing
good time. Judge Lobdell Of this
city delivered an excellent address,
after which a number Of athletic con-
tests were pulled off The people Of
the north and central section Of the
county generally attended. The pic
mic was held in the Shriwise grove, an
excellent place for such an affair.
The announcement that the Eagles
would hold a picnic at Ellinwood was
sufficient guarantee Of the success
Of the affair, as the making success
ful affair out Of a picnic is the long
suit Of the ENinwood bunch Of Eagles
A number Of attractions were sched-
tled but likely the one drawing the
largest crowd was the ball game be-
tween EIhnwood and Claflin, both
fast teams, which was won by the
former, score 12 to 10. The crowd at
the dance IN the evening was one Of
the largest ever attending similar
function in NIinwood.
All who attended either affair viii
look forward to a repetition of the
good times enjoyed when September
rolls around next year.

Even the least vain OF women get a
little worried about the condition OF their
hair in the fall and early winter First
the hair begins to come out in greater or
less degree, but always the loss is much
more than At any other time Of the year.
Then the texture OF the hair Is usually
affected by the first cold snap and Il
loses It's Iustre. pliancy and looks dull
and Ilfeless.
There is nothing very serious to worry
about, because the same thing happens to
every one, including furry animals, who
shed their light summer coats while they
are growing warmer, rougher and darker
coverings for winter wear.
The hair OF sensitive people is an exact
barometer OF their general health. When
the hair Is unmanageable, falls out easily
ana is stiff and brittle in the autumn, II
IL merely registering the general confu-
sion Of the body in its effort TO adjust
itself 20 the changing climate.
The circulation OF the body Is usually
somewhat impaired; the oily secretions
stop and the skin chaps. The same thing
happens 20 the scalp. Circulation is ar
rested somewhere and 1t Is only by con-
slant care that the scalp can be kept In
good condition in winter time because Of
the constant change OF temperature to
which we are subjected going from over
heated homes into the cold outdoors.
where we protect part OF our heads with
heavy and unventilated hats while the
rim OF the hair. so TO speak, Is exposed
TO cold and dust.
People do not keep their hair as free
from dust in winter as in summer, nor
is It brushed as often. One is afraid to
catch cold IL one INDUCES in wet
shampoo every week, and most women
with long hair don't get all the powder
out Of the scalp when they try dry sham
pooling.
Dry shampoo consists I'm shaking a
fine powder over the hair. letting IL re-
main on over night. or at least for some
hours, and then brushing Il out very
