Proper Care of Hair
and Complexion

The worry and bother of wearing
hair-nets and wells to make the hair
stay up and conceal a dull, "stringy,'
unkempt appearance can easily be
avoided by stopping shampooing with
soap. The free" allSali in soap irri-
tates the scalp, makes the hair streak
ed, dull, coarse and brittle. Shampoo
with a teaspoonful OF canthrox dis
solved in a cup of hot water and the
hair will always be light. fluffy and
easy to do up. besides looking decid-
eddy neat. This shampoo fathers
ahundantly, dries quickly, stops Itch
ing scalp and cleanses as no other
shampoo will. The luxury of extreme
cleanliness which comes from the use
of this shampoo has made it so popu-
lar that many of the best hairdressers
now use it exclusively. TT is mex
pensive and can be bought at any
drug store.
To whiten and. beautify face, neck
and arms, dissolve four ounces of
spurmax in 6 half-pint witch hazel or
hot water, adding two teaspoonfuls
glycerine. Apply this lotion freely
and it will tone up the skin wonder
fully and quickly. 1t makes the skin
soft and smooth, and will remove that
shiny, muddy look which is so annoy
ing. This lotion will be found much
better to use than face powder, as it
does not rub oft easily like powder
nor does it give the face that pow
dered look" This spurmax lotion is
excellent for removing and preventing
freckles. chapping and roughness of
the skin

Y. M. c. A. Organization Planned

intend work all over the different coun-
ties, reaching especially the smaller
communities The plan has been tried
with great success in Aroostooll
county and Is now being introduced
into York county, where a secretary
is at work.
The efficient Christian service which
has been rendered in the cities of
Maine by the Y NJ C. A. has been
made possible largely through the
skilled efforts of strong, trained seere-
taries, who have specialized in solving
the problems of boys and young men.
The need of this is just as great, if
not greater, in the country. but it has
long been a difficult question with the
Y NJ. c. A how to sreaeh the boys
with the skilled service of the trained
secretary, in scattered communities.
The problem has been solved, the as

associations, which shall have over

MONEY THROWN AWAY.
Representative Moore Writes on
High Cost of Living.

An article by Representative ]. Hamp-
ton Moore of Pennsylvania on the widely
interesting topic of the cost of living ap-
pears tomorrow in our Sunday Magazine.
Money Thrown Away he calls his ar
ticle, and II is surprising TO many that
instead of blaming the trusts and the
tariff for the rise In prices of mostly
everything he puts it right up to every
body. Nowadays we think that things
that were formerly luxuries are naessi-
ties: and. carrying this down the line of
human expenditure. We find that ii is
these luxuries that have raised the rest
of all products, including even the real
necessities.
Because we insist upon having straw
berries in January, instead of waiting till
May and June, as in the old days, and a
lot of things that we can get only be-
cause expensive cold-storase warehouses
have been established. the man who sells
ordinary staple meats, groceries, ETC. is
taking advantage of our extravaganza
Why should he not have some of the
money that is being so thoughtlessly
tossed about?
