 This mornings mail brought me a letter from dear young girl. It was full of the very joy of living and of accounts of her first balls. She says her gowns never bother her for they are the product of the well known Madame x, but her shair is & fright. " If she wears it low, as father wishes her to, she is flat headed. If high, in mothers favorite style. she looks top heavy. It does not curl well though naturally curly and it is ob- stinate and altogether ugly. What shall she do with it and how shall she dress it? All these questions gener- ously underscored.
 In the first place, is dauEhter's hair perfectly clean?
 The prettiest head of hair know, great mass Of golden brown curls. is. when dirty, as ugly and obstinate as IS Daughters. I have many kinds or tried and trusted shampoo formulas but for the average head of hair there is no better shampoo than an egg well beaten with about an ounce the scalp. It not only cleanses the scalp and hair Of dirt, but is also tom icaI in it's effect and strength ems the scalp The yolk contains iron and Su1Dnur4 both OF WQ1Gnf are n&4GuIe14 food for the hair. while the white, be- ing a mild a1kaIi. assimilates with the oil from the sebacfous glands, and they mingle in a soapy father. The egg should be thoroughly massaged into the scalp with a rotary motion, begin- ming in front over the forehead and going back to the crown, then for ward to the temples, and back and forth, till the fingers of the two hands meet at the nape of the neck Mas sage restores elasticity and tone to the scalp, and stimulates both it and the hair-foIlicIes The hair must be. thoroughly rfnsed, first in warm water and then-fn cold. to secure a reaction. wipe tie hair as dry as possible in warm towels and when it is perfectly dry. finish the operation with a dry massage
 And now comes the fun of dressing the hair.
 A dressing much afEected by young girls is shown in my picture. The hair is slightly waved and carried back over some small frisette sup ports, affixed at the nape of the neck, and it's ends myst eriousIy worked away beneath A flat rhinestone ban. deau worn we'll forward looks ex- tremely well as a. garniture with it's two low placed mercury wings spread ing across the front.
 Of course this bandeau must only be worn at a ball with one of Madame Ks gowns.

Hon. Thomas B. Carroll, who
for some time past has so ably
held the office as Judge Of the

Why Bank Deposits Should
Be Protected.

Matilda Reglln was a dress
maker in East Orange N. j.
Born 81 years ago, she had piled
her needle. "a years, and put
each spare penny in bank. A
few weeks ago she had 100000
and was planning to spend the
remainder of her days in ease, in
simple fashion. One day she
read In the morning papers that
the bank closed it's doors. A
trusted official had siphoned out
5000, 900. and the. bank was not
able to make the loss good.
Matilda went to her little room
near the attic, stuffed paper into
the keyhole and turned on the
gas. When found she was dead,
The above is a recent news item.
1t is only one of the many cases
that are happening every day.
Then, is this not sufficient rea-
son why the government should
require banks to guarantee their
deposits? Is it fair for the
banks to use the peoples money,
and yet not make it safe for the
depositors? Should our govern
ment allow it? [ think not, the
average deposit is a little more
than $500 So when bank
fails, it is the small depositors
that are hurt most. And they
are the ones VINO should be pro-
tected. Our government should
not neglect this matter, as 1T is
one that vitally effect the com ,
mon people.

Deplorable Tragedy.

New Albany. Miss, Feb. IL
Near Thackston, in the northern
partGof Pontotoc County, Mon
day morning. Grover Warren. a
young man, shot George Blaggs
another young man, twice, kill
ing him, and the report is that
after Blaggs fell Warren shot
him twice again and then killed
the horse which Blaggs was rid
ing.
Warren was at the church and
had been drinking, it is said,
wheu Blaggs rode up on horse
back. 1t is alleged that, without
any provocation and before 9th
ers realized what he was going
to do. Grover Warren shot him
Warren made his escape, but was
captured at Ingomar, in Union
County, by the sheriff of that
county. Reports of the killing
are meager.
The Pontotoc officers claimed
the prisoner because the killing
occurred there, and he is in Jail
at that place. e.-Commercial APP
