Health and Beauty Answers
BY MRS. MAE MARTYR

M. de W.: If you will shampoo oc-
casionally with plain canthrox you
will be delighted on how quickly your
dull, brittle, unmanageahle hair will
become soft and lustrous. Just dis
solve a. teaspoonful canthrox in cup
hot water and your shampoo is ready.
Rub briskly as you pour little at
time On the head and it will dissolve
every atom of dust, dandruff and ex-
cess oil Rinsing leaves hair and
scalp Immediately clean and the hair
then dries quickly and evenly.
Grace t.: would not advise taking
, patent medicines Your ''worn-ou.."
feeling and lack of appetite indicate a
sluggish. poison-laden condition of the
blood, and the best and safest thing of
which / know is an old-fashioned kar-
dene tonic, made by dissulving " cup
full sugar In " pint alcohol, then adj
ding / ounce kardene and hot water
to make quart. Take a tablespoon
full before meals and in a short while
the blood will be free from all poisons.
Nothing can take the place of this
simple kardene tonic as a body-build-
er and strength-giver for youth or old
age.
Maude: It would be shame to
hide the beauties of violet blue eyes
behind glasses, and | truly believe
you can avoid wearing them If you will
use this harmless. strengthening eye
tonic: Into pint of cold, clear wat
er dissolve an ounce crystos, then
put or 8 drops in each eye daily.
This simple crystos tonic reduces In
fammation, overcomes the watery
condition, and to weak. dull eyes gives
strength and brilliancy. For removing
foreign particles and taking out sore
ness the crystos eye-tonic is unsur-
passed.
Mrs. T. S.: Cutting the hairs on the
Cheek only encourages them to grow
thicker and heavier. Mix a little
powdered delatone and water and
spread on hairy surface, then after
Of minutes rub off, wash the skin and
i will be left smooth, firm and hair
less.

BATTALION DRILL
 FOR MEMORIAL DAY.
Rehearsed at the Armory-With Low erine of Flag Will Be Impressive Feature,

The battalion drill was executed at the Armory Tuesday evening, under command of Major Hagberg, in prep aration for the Memorial day exer- cises. There will be a fiagpole erect ed at the Chelsea Parade, and follow ing the exercises at the Soldiers mon u1nent, the militia, Grand Army, and Sons of Veterans will form in line for the evening parade, when, according to the practice of all garrisons and army posts, the flag will be slowly lowered, all standing motionless with heads barred while the band plays the Star Spangled Banner. The company is a most impressive one. This will be followed by a dress parade and review, after which the column will form for the return to the Buckingham Memo rial
 The lowering of the flag is an entire ly new feature, and it is believed it will prove a most pleasing part of the days exercises. It is probable that in the near future a permanent flagstaff will be erected on the park.
 Ever since the inauguration of Me mOrial day the 5th Co.,, formerly Com pany c, with the exception of two years, has done escort duty. In the morning the company will take part in the exercises at UnCasville, and the Third company will go to Jewett City.
 On the conclusion of the drill last evening, Colonel c. W. Gale, who will marshal the Memorial day parade, pre- sented the boys cigars.

STATE COMMISSION ON
 INDUSTRIAL INSURANCE
Hearing Will Be Held in Board of
 Trade Rooms Next Monday.

The state commission on industrial insurance is to hold public meeting in this city in the board of trade rooms Monday afternoon. The mem bers of the commission are Talcott H. Russell, New Haven, Burton Manseld, New Haven, and John Eccles of this city. The commission was created to investigate concerning the advisability of establishing state insurance for workmen.
 It is desirous of hearing from all persons who by virtue of their occu- patton, special interest or knowledge. may be able to throw light on the subject. Meetings have been held at Bridgeport and Waterbury.
 Certain fundamental questions arise to which the commission directs spe- cial attention, among which are the following.
 1. Is any legislation desirable in this state on the subject of workman's s compensation?
 ?. If so, shall the act affect dan gerous occupations only?
 3. If not. shall it affect all classes, including agricultural laborers and do- mestic servants?
 1. If not. what classes shall be in cluded and what excluded?
 ,. Shall such a law be optional or compulsory, and if optional how shall the option be exercised?
 6. Shall the compensation be ad- justed in accordance with a system of state insurance, or by a system of lia- bility to be collected by the individual injured
 '. If it is to be a system of state insurance, by whom shall the pre- miums be paid, by the employer only, or in part by the employer and in part by the employe. and in the latter case in what proportion shall they be di- vided?
 s. If the state insurance plan is not adopted, but the sums due for compensation are to be collected by the employe from the employer, how shall such liability be enforced through proceedings in the ordinary courts, or through some special tri- bUnal appointed for that purpose? g. If the latter alternative is taken what should be the nature of such tribunal?

ANY WOMAN
 CAN HAVE BEAUTIFUL HAIR
Dandruff Disappears, Falling hsir Ceases When You Use Parisian Sage.

No preparation has done so much to stop falling hair; eradicate dandruf and make women's hair beautiful as PAR ISlAN Sage.
 It is the only certain destroyer of the dandruf micrObe, the cause of most hair troubles.
 PARISiAN Sage Is most daintily perfumed. It is an ideal preparation not sticky or greasy. It does not con- tain poisonous sugar of lead or sul- phur or any dye.
 It is a magnificent dressing for women who desire luxuriant, lus- truus hair that compels admiration, and for men and children nothing can compare with it.
 It does away with terrible scalp itch sver night and causes the hair to grow in abundance.
 And a large bottle of PARlSlAN Sage costs only 50 cents at all drug and toilet goods counters.
 Lee & Osgood Go. guarantee it.
