TROMBONE PLAYER
CHARGED WITH DOG
FRAUD BY SHOE MAN

George Warren Brown of 40 Portland
Place. president of the Brown Shoe Co.
yesterday caused the arrest of william
Grosskopf, a trombone player of 1913
Wash street. ON a warrant charging use
of the mails to defraud, says the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch. The following interesting
story is contained in the allegations in
Browns complaint:
Last February the trombone player
called on the millionaire shoe man at his
office and blew his own horn with such
virtuosity as to convince Brown that his
visitor was one of the greatest living ex-
perts on collies. Brown is the owner of
a fine kennel of collies.
Grosskopf said that there was to be a
big collie show in New York and that he
was going to enter dog. He suggested
that Brown also make an entry, as the
first prize would be handsome and val
liable silver cup
Brown agreed and commissioned the
trombone player to act as his agent, pay
ing him, he says s. to put the dog in con-
dition for the show and defraying his
incidental expenses in New York On
February % Grosskopf went to Brown
with the glad tidings that his entry had
taken first prize and won the silver cup.
The gratified fancier then paid Grosskopf
25, which the latter said he had advanced
for the entry fees. Grosskopf explained
that the cup was to be exhibited at other
shows and would not be delivered to the
winer until June
On March y Grosskopf wrote to Brown
calling his attention to collie show In
Philadelphia. Brown, believing himself
the owner of q blue-ribbon dog, author
lied Grosskopf to enter dogs for him at
Philadelphia and paid him s2s expense
money.
Soon afterwards Brown received let
ter from Grosskopf urging him to enter
dog in Kansas City show, where the
first prize was to be a Blue Merle fe-
male collie of great value
Joins a Chinese Club
Brown did not agree to exhibit in Kan
sas City, but later authorized Grosskopf
to enter his dog in a show at Blooming
ton, Ill. where the musician told him the
same Blue Merle collie offered at Kansas
City was to be the prize. Grosskopf took
to Brown the pleasant information that
his dog has swept the boards at Bloom

Kidney and Bladder trouble

Eating meat regularly eventually pro-
duces kidney trouble in some form or
other, says a well-known authority, be-
cause the uric acid in meat eXctes the
kidneys, they become overworlSed: get
sluggish; clog up and cause all sorts of
distress, particularly backache and mis-
cry in the kidney region; rheumatic
twinges, severe headaches, acid stom-

After the young people had been mar

PRESERVING HEALTH OF HAIR
General Well Being Of the Body 10
vitality Necessary to Appearance
at Al Times.

General health has much to do with
the looks OF the hair. Glossy. lively
hair generally indicates health. and
dull, unattractive hair shows a poor
physical condition. So the first requi'
lite for beautiful or even moderately
attractive hair is good general health.
Granted that. clean. well brushed and
carefully arranged hair Is bound to
look we'll.
There are various opinions 40 to
the advisability Of frequent washing.
Some authorities recommend sham
poo every two weeks and others are
convinced that with frequent airing
shampoo every six weeks or two
months Is quite enough. On one sub
ject. however. authorities agree. That
Is on the value Of massage OF the
scalp. This does not necessarily mean
a very long or elaborate treatment.
It is surprising to watch the good ef.
feet Of even q short time spent In
massaglng the head.
When you have let the hair down
ut night allow It to hang as 1t will on
the shoulders. Then run the hands
under the hair and with the balls OF
the fingers with firm. gentle pressure
rub the scalp vigorously In all direc'
lions. This treatment frees the scalp
skin Of any scurf or dandruff. pro-
notes the active circulation Of the
blood ON the surface and prevents the
hair from lying flat on the head or
growing in one direction--a tendency
when one always arranges tho hair
| In the same way.
