something New in the way of Shampoo

To the woman who wishes to have
beautiful hair I say. keep it clean
Hair grows frowsy and dull when it is
not cIeansed in some manner at least
once a month.
II you happen to be the maid VINO
is convinced that both dry and wet
@hampooS disagree with the hair, then
why not use the new hair cleanser
white OF egg2 AS you can scarcely be-
neve that it is well for the hair to be
covered with CRIME for five or six
months at a time. you will doubtless
seize with joy upon shampoo which
Is neither wet nor dry.
First of course, you should beat the
whites of two eggs until they are as
stiff as stiff can be, after which yon
must repair to your bedroom and sit
down in front of your dressing table.
Now take a handful of >the white of
egg and proceed to massage the scalp,
rubbing with a light circular move
ment of the fingers When the egg
whites are exhausted, take a seat near
a hot radiator and read or sew for
fifteen or twenty minutes. A clean
hair brush should then be applied to
the hair for several minutes, by the
end of which time the eggs will have
disappeared, leaving the hair and
scalp as clean as heart could wish. I
might add, on the chance of interest
ing YOU, that the white of egg treat
ment will make the hair delightfully."-

In this day and age of known facts
there is absolutely no excuse for any
one to suffer with stomach trouble
indigestion, sour risings, catarrh OF
the stomach. gas formation, ETC.
tuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets are COM
posed of known and approved digest
ants that help out the gastric juices
of the stomach. They are Natures di,
gestives, the same kind the stomach
uses when it is in good health.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
merely aid digestion-they actually di-
gest the food themselves. All the hard
work is thus taken off the stomach
and it gets a chance, to rest and re
cuperate. The undigested food which
formerly produced nauseating gases in
the stomach becomes thoroughly di-
gested and as a result provides new
brain and Drawn and nerve cells to re-
place natural waste always going on.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets act
quickly, safely and naturally, just like
Nature herself. They are z, familiar
and standard part of the stock OF
every properly equipped drug store
and are sold at 50c box.
Those who once try StUart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets are never at a loss to know
how to overcome any form OF indiges-
ton or stomach trouble.

HARRY PULvER.

I
 Harry Clay Pulver. son of William w. and Alice Miller Pulver, was born in the town of Pine Plains on the fourth day of April, 1883. For the greater part Of his life, he lived on the old farm homestead with his parents. About two years of his early manhood life were spent with an uncle in the city of New York. When about eighteen years of age, he united with the Presbyterian church of Pine Plains. On September 13, 1908, he was married to Miss Maude A ,only daughter of Charles and Harriett Barnette Dakin, of Sharon. From the time of his marriage to that of, his death he was resident of the town of Sharon. Tn May, 1909 he became still more intimately identified with Sharon life by transferring his church member ship to that of the Methodist Episcopal church of this town.
 Though never possessed of thoroughly robust constitution, his average of health was good till within the year last past. Late in the winter some of his symptoms became alarming and on Wednesday, March 5, at the suggestion of his friends and the advice of his physician, he went to New York for expert treatment On Sunday, March Is, his condition having become alarming, he was taken to Bel levue Hospital, where all that was possi- ble was done to save his life, but medi- cine, surgery and nursing were alike baf1ed by the irresistible rayages of his ma1ady, and on Wednesday morning, March 26 he entered into the painless rest of eternity.
 MT. Pulver was a young man of splen- did qualities which he combined in har- monious proportions. In him charm ing modesty was joined to an unusual intelligence and a beautifully sunny dls- position. Even with fatal malady wearing away his vitality there was cheerfulness in his voice and sunshine in his face. And, withal, he has lived such life and has formed such char acter as becomes the best possible pre- paration for whatever of life may lie be- yond the last great mystery. Besides his wife, he is survived by his father, step mother and several brothers and sisters.
 The burial was in the family lot in Irondale Cemetery, Millerton. The funeral services in the Methodist church of sharon on Friday. March 28, were very largely attended.
