The Trip to California
Under Special Care

tYou feel like sorting out
and tying together the mem
Dries of this "trip and keeping
them separate from all other
trips" A woman recently said
this after a pleasant expert
ence on a Burlington Route
Personally Conducted ex
cursion party to California.
She travelled alone, but met
many agreeable people on the
car, which was in charge Of a
special conductor. This good
natured official was a well-in-
formed, courteous man who
went all the way through with
the party, looking after every
ones comfort and attending to
all the little details of the trip.
Thus a woman or child in one
of these parties can travel
with perfect safety and free
dom from care.

AN APPEAL FOR
PARTY LOYALTY
Officers of the Iowa League of Taft
Clubs Warn the Republican
Voters.

Jas. n Trewin. chairman, and Lutil-
CT A. Brewer, secretary OF the Iowa
League Of Taft clubs, being interview.
ed send the following statement to the
republican voters of Iowa:
The only danger at this time that
threatens republican success In Iowa
is the determination on the part of
some good republicans to vote for the
democratic candidate for president In
order to make more certain the defeat
of the third party candidate.
Take our word for 1t, fellow repub-
leans Of Iowa. this action is not nee
essary.
There is not the slightest chance
in this state for third party success.
Every day witnesses q decrease In
the number of the adherents of the
third party. The same story comes to
US from every section of Iowa, that
there is very perceptible change of
sentiment Taft-ward. No one acquaint-
ed with the actual conditions has now
any fear of the bull moosers being
more than an Indifferent third In the
battle of the ballots on November
fifth next.
In Iowa the contest lies wholly
between Taft and Wilson. One or the
other will carry the state. This, In
our Judgment, is definitely determined
Then why should any republican
do SO foolish thing as to vote for thl
free trade candidate? Stand by the
old party under whose administration
such great prosperity has come to the
country. Take no chances on a dem
ocratic administration. We do moi
want repetition Of the conditions
that prevailed under the last demo
cratic rule in the years 1S93-97. Lei
us appeal earnestly to all republicans
to be loyal to the national republican
ticket as well as to the rest of the

e, B. S.: Although gray hair is
sometimes caused by worry, 1t is gen.
orally due to a diseased scalp as in
dicated by such symptoms as the
5dandruff, itching scalp and brittle.
falling hair Of which you speak. TO
restore your scalp to a healthy con-
Idition. frst keep 1t clean by shampoo
ing every ten days or two weeks with
canthrox, then massage the scalp,
using a good quinine hair-tonic. You
can prepare the tonic yourself by adj
ding one ounce of qufnzoin to a half
pint Of alcohol (not p-hiskey) and a
half-pint Of cold water This is much
better than most ready-prepared hair
tonics as 1t contains nothing to make
the hair coarse, sticky or "stringy.',
1t will remove the dandruff and stop
your hair from coming out. You will
find it an ideal dressing for the hair
and very refreshing to an itching
scalp.
B. M. D.: Do not let your superflu-
GUS flesh worry you. Even though
you have spent many dollars trying
different so-called "fesn-recucers
without any Of them doing a bit of
good. want you to try this one. I
have many friends who tell me it did
wonders for them. Get four ounces
of parnotis from any drug store, dis
solve it in ~ pints hot water and
take tablespoonful few minutes
before each meal. 1t is harmless and
will cut down your fat rapidly with
out necessity for dieting or strenuous
exercising.
Mary f.: BY devoting just little
time each day to the care OF your
complexion, you can ward off the
marks Of approaching age and have
the same attractive, youthfullooking
features as your younger friends. Use
good, greaseless complexion-cream
(see answer to Dorris), and instead
Of clogging up the pores OF your skin
with face powder. get dependable
lotion and use 1t exclusively. You
can make such lotion by buying
four ounces Of spurma1 at your drug
gist's and dissolving it in one-half
pint witch hazel or hot water; then
add two teaspoonfuls glycerine and
when cold, apply freely to your face,
neck and arms. This lotion Is mex.
pensfve and unequaled as skin-beau-
tifier. 1t does not rub off or show
like face powder, and you will find it
excellent for removing that shiny,
muddy look from your skin. I find it
good for removing and preventing
freckles, skin-pimples and an unnat-
ural skin-roughness.
B. W.: II my eyes continually had
that tired, overworked feeling you
saw yours do, ! would lose no time
getting q good tonic for them. My
eyes were inclined to be weak but /
keep them in good condition by using
a simple, inexpensive remedy made
by dissolving an ounce of crystos in
pint of water. A few drops in each
eye occasionally will readily relieve
inflammation and make ones eyes
bright and sparkling. Try this and |
am sure you will not need to wear
glasses. 1t is a splendid tonic for
weak, watery eyes. also graduated
lids. ADV,

Health and Beauty Answers
BY MRS. MAE MARTIN

A. F. s.: To be sure, health and
beauty go hand in hand. Indigestion
and sluggish liver cause impure
blood, which in turn breeds ugly
b!otches, pimples and skin eruptions,
accompanied often by depression,
melancholia and headaches. These
may be all removed blythe judicious
use Of a simple homemade system.
tonic and blood purifier, made as fol-
lows: Dissolve one ounce of kardene
and one-half cupful of sugar in one
half pint alcohol, (not whiskey), then
add enough hot water to make full
quart of the remedy. Take a table,
spoonful before each meal Kardene
stimulates the digestion, arouses a
torpid liver, purifies the blood and
gives tone to the whole system. BY
a natural process the complexion Is
cleared, the tired feeling vanisnes,
and energy and enjoyment Of life re-
turn.
Mrs. o.: You can make your eye
brows grow thick and glossy by apply
ing pyroxin with finger-end. For
stubby eye-lashes, apply pyroxin with
thumb and forefinger This makes
them grow long and curly. Be care
full, however. and don't get pyro1in
where no hair is wanted.
A. B. c.: Bleaching the hair VIII
not remove it. Make thick paste
with powdered delatone and water,
spread on hairs not wanted, then af-
ter two or three minutes rub off, wash
the skin and the hairs are gone. This
simple treatment will Danish the most
stubborn growth and does not injure
even a sensitive skin.
G. E. A.: 1t may be all right to use
dry shampoo powder where you are
very careful to brush out all of tho
powder; otherwise 1t will clog up the
pores in the scalp and cause dandruff,
the very thing you should avoid. TO
keep your hair looking bright anu
healthy and make it stay In curl, you
must not use shampoo that contains
free" alkali as soaps and most sham
poos do. Dissolve teaspoonful OF
canthrox in cup Of hot water and
you have a shampoo that can't be e1-
celled. 1t viii remove all excess oil
and dirt, and leave your scalp free
from irritation. This shampoo dries
quickly without causing streaky, rao-
ed patches in the hair. It will make
your hair soft and fluffy 80 1t will
stay up and look nice without the use
of a hair net or veil.
Doris: If you wish to make
greaseless complexion cream-5elly that
will quickly clear your complexion OF
freckles, tan and sunburn without the
necessity of several months treat
ment, you can easily prepare 1t at
home by mixing together an ounce OF
almozoin, two teaspoonfuls glycerine
and onehalf pint cold water; stir
briskly and let stand over night
Where applied frequently You will
find this an excellent cream for re-
moving wrinkles, blackheads, freck-
les, roughness and other skin blem-
ishes. 1t will leave the skin smooth,
clear and velvety, and is matchless

ing the size OF large pores in the
