THE MERCHANT
Who wins

IMMERSION said something
about an institution being
the heightened shadow of a
man. The same is true of a bust
ness. A STORE, for example,
REFLECTS THE CHARAC-
TER OF ITS OWNER.
Take two typical stores. The
one is enterprising, has attractive
displays, advertises literally and
intelligently and reaches out for
new business.
The other goes along in a hum
drum fashion, advertises little, and
that in stereotyped way, makes
no display of it's wares and no ef-
fort to turn over its stock at fire.
quent intervals. 1t follows the
methods of twenty years ago. 1t
does not reach after new custom
ers and in consequence loses its
old ones.
Which of these stores will sue
coed and which will fail
WHICH PROPRIETOR READS
THE PAPERS AND WHICH READS
LAST YEARS ALMANAC?
That tells the whole story.
THE PROGRESSIVE, HUS-
THING, UP TO DATE MER-
CHANT READS THE NEWS
PAPERS. He also makes others
read the advertisements he places
in the newspapers. Therefore he
is a winner. BE A WINNER.

Wash For tho Hair.


The washing of the hair is especially
important now that the hair Is worn

might just as well not be washed at
all Partisan beauty doctors are using
a hair washing paste the foundation of
which is powdered soap, You cover
the powder with boiling water. add
some borax and orriS root with little
sachet powder of your favorite scent.
and you are ready to begin. When 1t is
all of bubble you take it off the fire
and stir In some whole oatmeal. When
it cools it is ready for use. If very
high perfume is desired some oil of
rose geranium is added You will then
have jelly, not very clear because of
the oatmeal and orris, but smelling de
lightful.
After the paste is thoroughly worked
in the rinsing must begin. Many per-
sons do not understand how difficult it
is TO rinse the hair properly The trou-
Bile is that the individual hairs are
coated with soap. and the water must
be hot and used with force to get the
soap out. That is the theory and Sc
cret of it.

To improve the Neck and Shoulders.
Every girl cannot have beautiful

What sentimental poet has not sung
the praises Of graceful neck and
pretty, well rounded shoulders? And
what girl of the day does not covet
them? If she is the lucky possessor
of both can any one blame her for be-
ing the least bit proud? But If she
possesses neither and goes much into
society no one can cenSure her If she
uses every effort to improve herself
in these respects since the garb of So
ciety requires liberal display of these
portions of the body.

be perfect and their lines graceful
Exercise, massage and proper carriage

outlines, while by applications Of un-

the skin may be brought out or in
