Health and Beauty Hints
BY MRS. MAE MARTINI

B. Sister: 1t is right that the pa
irons of your beauty parlors" should
object to shampoos made from soap on
account of the great danger of the
soap alkali running the luster of their
hair. Try a shampoo made by dissolv-
ing a teaspoonful of canthrox in a cup
of hot water, and after shampooing,
rinse the hair as usual. Canthrox
makes the most satisfactory shampoo
imaginable and leaves no bad effects.
1t fathers splendidly and is the best
and most thorough scalp-cleanser !
have ever seen. 1t relieves scalp-irri-
tation and leaves the hair bright, soft,
fluffy and easy to do up. This sham
poo permits the hair to dry quickly, is
very beneficial and will not cause
faded, streaky or discolored hair as
soap and most shampoos are likely to
do
Mrs. L. G.: 1t is not necessary that
your face reflect your age. You could
easily have a much finer, clearer,
oIHOOthCl gOulhlul
ion if you quit using powder and tried
good lotion. Dissolve four ounces
spurmax in a half-pine hot water or
witch hazel and add two teaspoonfuls
glycerin. Apply this to your face, neck
end arms, and 1t will improve your
locks wonderfully. 1t will soften and
whiten your skin and remove that

Strengthening eye tonic. The next
time you go to a drug store get an

this in each eye occasionally and you

Il. K: I would advise you TO seeh
health first, before beauty. You say
you are not sick, but that you fee
tired always, look sallow and have
pimples and eruptions. Try this home
made blood-purifer and system-tonic:
Get from your druggist one ounce Of

Did YOU ever realize that hang
ing pictures in your home was
quite an art. The manner in
which they are hung makes a
great difference in the appear
ance Of a room. We made the
above remarks to one of our dec
orators the other day and this is
what he said in reply: That
fact is trust upon me nearly every
day. ! go into some parlors
where the pictures are hung so
high that all perspective is lost.
and the ceiling seems to be hope
lessly high. Other folks hang
theirs so low that it hurts your
spine to look at them. in addition
to straining your eyes. spelling
the beauty of the room and TAX
ing from the value of the picture.
All pictures should not be
hung on the same level. as they
so often are. yet all should be
as nearly on the level with the
eyes as possible. If square and
oblong pictures are aIternated ir-
regularly with round and oval
ones the best possible effect is
gained. - Home Decorator.

Fort Worth. Texas. June /. e.
Over six hundred members Of the
Fort Worth Chamber of Com
merce journeyed 10 Arlington
recently by special cars to par
take of a 6 o'clock home industry
luncheon given by the CONNER
cial organization of this city.
The spread was unique in that all
the items on the menu were the
products Of Fort Worth or Tar
rant county. Speeches were de-
livered by several prominent
men during the evening and it
developed that the organization
is planning to amend its charter
to admit of including the citizens
of the entire country in the mem
bership of that body.
We see no reason why Lubbock
could not have something like
this. 1t would stimulate trade
and create a better feeling be-
tween merchant and customer.
A lawyer in a court room may
call a man a liar, scoundrel, vii
liam or thief. and no one makes
complaint when court adjourns.
If a newspaper prints such a re-
Election on a mans character
there is a libel suit or a dead
editor. This is owing to the fact
that the people believe what an
editor says.
