This Quickly Cleanses
Both Hair and Scalp

"A harmless and entirely satisfactory
shampoo can be enjoyed at ilttie eA
nense." saws Mrs. Mae M9rtyn in the
Hoston Tribune IF you fget an ori-
glnal package Of canthrox from your
druggist ana dissolve a teaspooniui IN
a cup of hot water This Is enough
mixture for thorough cleansing OF
both hair and scalp.
.s'rhe canthrox mixture makes a
wealth of rich, white lather that dis
solves every atom OF dust, dandruff
and excess oil. Rinsing leaves the hair
and scalp Immediately clean, and after
a canthrox shampoo the hair dries
quickly and evenly. taking on such
rich gloss and softness, so that doing
it up is a genuine pleasure. Occasional
shampooing with canthrox keeps the
scalp clean and plant and induces a
heavy growth of beautiful lustrous

Discussion as TO the power and au-

this spring or summer goes merrily on.
IT is a very easy matter to find a
citizen of Birmingham who is willing
TO go on record TO the effect that the
city committee does not exist at all
under the commission government bill
by which Birmingham present city
government is in force. IT is equally as
easy to find we'll known and prom

not only does exist but has the power
and authority to hold a primary when
ever it sees fit and that such VIII oc-
cur this spring or early this summer
The interview with Isadore Shapiro IN
last Sundays AgeHerald to the erect
that the city democratic executive COM
mittee is a minus and a useless guam
tity in the administration of Birming-
hams present form of city government
has caused considerable comment. John
3. Bethea and John p. Abbott yester-
day stated their positions as follows:
Fayors City Primary
81 am in favor of the city primary
stated Mr. Bethea, but / am not in
favor of overlooking the primary ticket
with some of the issues and OFFICES
which have recently teen mentioned. l
favor municipal ownership of public
utilities and believe it should be placed
on the ticket. Municipal ownership Is
\ big question None of us thoroughly
understands it yet. The people will have
to be educated up to municipal owner
ship and l see no better way to do 1t
than to place IL on the primary ticket
and get them to thinking about 1T i'll
preparation to casting their votes on
the matter
Il think we should vote on municipal
ownership just like we voted on COM
mission government. And also am IN
favor of putting on the primary ticket
the city commissioners to be voted for.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-28

think the people, the voters of Bir-
mingham, can be trusted to choose the
successor to any OF the present COM
missioners. They have always done it in
the past or at least its equivalent, and
can't see why they should not do it
now
But | am opposed to putting on the
ticket the heads of the different de-
partments of the city government. BY
that l mean the chief of police, the
street commissioner, or the fire chief,
etc. I think that is in violation of the
government law, and don't
want to be party TO anything in vio-
lation of the statutes. Under the COM
mission bill passed by the Legislature
it is impossible to put on the ticket
heads of theA departments and that
closes all argument in that regard.
LAS to the existence and power or
of the city executive commit
tee, l know we exist and that we are
clothed with the authority to hold a
primary and an election. You will re-
member that the governor sent our
bill back to the legislature
for the express purpose of having a
clause to this effect inserted In it oe-
fore he would attach his signature and
it could become law
I'VE will hold a primary"
