SIMPLICITY OF HAIR DRESSING
NOW FASHIONABLE
Women Favor Parted LOcks-PufIs,
POmpadOurs, COrOnet Braids
Going Out.

The present fashion of wearing the
hair softly parted, without puffs and
braids, demands a naturally fine head
Of hair, and women with thin. faded
locks are at their wits end to know
how to make their hair look well. The
first step toward this end is to keep hair
and scalp in a healthy condition by the
systematic use of stimulating tonic.
HAYS HAIR HEALTH contains all
the health giving ingredients needed by
the starved hair roots. 1t destroys
dandruff germs and encourages rapid
growth of strong, new hair. Those
hopelessly dry, faded looking locks grow
soft, lustrous and youthful and the
whole appearance is improved. You can
get it at any druggists for SOC or S.0O

Munsey Editorial Cites
Shame of Republicans

No more Infamous political condi-
tlon can be conceived than that which
obtains in the Republican party in re-
spect to the part played by the South
ern office-holders and office-holdinR
contingent" says the February Munsey
editorially.
THE Republican party has been
almost continuous in control of the
national Government for half a CEN
tury. and in this time we have been
ruled by Executives who have not
people who elected them. democratic
government, as worked out in the Re-
publican party through the power that
this clique of Southern office-holders
exercises in Presidential nominations,
is wretched farce. 1t isn't popular
government at all.
That the Republican party has al
lowed this kind of thing to continue
its courage and its sense of the At
ness of things. 1t is a rock on which
1T Will go to pieces, il the abuse is
not corrected-a rock on which it
not fair, and right, and honest should
live, and this oftice-holding gang of
the South. owned as it is by the ma
tional Administration, is about as
I'm view of the facts, one may well
ask himself whether a President of the
United States can with propriety and
dignity avail himself of such a force
of hirelings to place himself again in
nomination.
"The cold, clear fact is that the scan
dal should exist no longer No Presi-
dent, whoever he may be, should permit
himself to be placed in nomination by
or through the votes of men so power
full in the convention and so absolutely
powerless at the polls.
1T would be easily within the discre-
ton and good taste of a President to
say that he would not accept a nomi-
nation which did not rest on a ma
jority of the States where Republican
electors are possible. This would be
something new and big-so big so emf
ncntly fair, that 1t would make a can
didate for denomination stand out as
q patriot and magnificent example Of
unselfshness.
