The Presidents Message.

Secretary Of State Bryan in his
December Comroner comments as
follows on President Wilson'S message
TO Congress:
''The message of the President, read
to the Sixty-third Congress at the
opening OF it's last session, will stand
out - one Of his greatest state papers.
He deals with the question of conserva-
ton and also with the merchant marine.
He urges the passage of the Philippine
bill and then takes up the subject of
national defense. His message is
evidently an answer to the recent
propaganda in favor of a bigger army
and bigger navy. Putting the
discussion upon high plane he appeals
to the sober sense of the American
people, and his appeal will not be in
vain. He is right in saying that the
adoption of large military and naval
program would be reversal OF the
whole history and character OF our
country, and at this time ''would mean
merely that we had lost our self.pos
session, that we had been thrown off
our balance by war with which we
have nothing to do, whose causes can
not touch us, whose very existence
affords US opportunity of friendship and
disinterested service which should
make Us ashamed of any thought Ct
hostility or fearful preparation for
trouble" The mission of this country
is splendidly stated when be says
''This is assuredly the opportunity fer
which people and government like
ours were raised lup, the opportunity
not only to speak but actually to
embody and exemplify the counsels of
peace and amity and the lasting con-
cord which islbased on justice and fair
and generous dealing"

LADIES' HAIRDRESSlNG
IN LONDON AND PARIS

A returned traveller says. when
was in Europe this year l found both
cities so thickly dotted with hair dress
ing parlors and hair goods stores that
/ wondered II the women ever had time
for anything but care Of the hair. Per-
sonally 1 was interested in finding
really good shampoo and was happily
surprised when several inquiries each
brought the suggestion that our own
American made canthrox shampoo is
best. I tried 1t and have decided that
it is not advisable to use makeshift
but always use n preparation made for
shampooing only. You can enjoy the
best that is known for about three cents
shampoo by getting package OF
canthrox from your druggist: dissolve
a teaspoonful in cup of hot water and
your shampoo is ready. After its use
the hair dries rapidly with uniform
color. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are
dissolved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its lustre and
softness will also delight you. while the
stimulated scalp gains the health which
insures hair growth"

The musical comedy producers

upon as foremost In their respective
field. Adams & Guhl brook no rival
save Weber & Fields as delineators OF

From curtain rise to fall there is not a

this an ideal entertainment wherewith
to drive duh care into the furtherrnost
recesses of the oubliette.

Lyric Before LARGE Audiences.

Two large audiences witnessed
Wednesday afternoon and evening at
the Lyric George kleine's presentation
OF the photo play. "Spartacus.' or The
Revolt of the Giadiators." The picture
was one of the most elaborate ever
produced locally. being made up of
three acts, shown in eight reels The
scene for the picture was laid in Italy,
where several hundred actors were
used in depicting the revolt OF the
Roman slaves, led by Spartacus. The
costuming was true to the time, as
recorded by history. and pretty love
story was woven into the life of the
Thracian gladiator. The pictures of
the old Roman arena, where the lions
We're awaiting TO meet Spartacus after
he had been condemned to death were
most realistic. The pictures commanded
the closest attention, and attracted
much interest.
