Local Women Agree With Stage Beautle

OF all women in the world, probably
those on the stage are most particular
about their personal appearance, and
especially in the care of the hair; and
when such leading stage beauties as
Ethel Barrymore, Elsie Ferguson,
Natalie Alt, Louise Dresser, Rose
Coghlan, Laurette Taylor and many
others are so enthusiastic about Har-
mony Hair Beautifier as to write in
praise of it, that is certainly evidence
that it does just what they say it does
that is, beauties the hair. There
are many women right in this town,
and men, too, who regard it as indis-
pensable, because it makes the hair
glossier and more silky, easier to dress
and make stay in place. Sprinkle a
little on your hair each time before
brushing it. Contains no oil; will not
cnange color of hair, nor darken gray
hair.
To keep hair and scalp dandrutf- free
and clean, use Harmony Shampoo
This pure liquid shampoo gives an in
Simultaneous rich lather that Immediately
penetrates to every part of hair and
scalp, insuring quick, thorough
cleansing. Washed off just as quickly
the entire operation takes only a few
moments Contains nothing that can
harm the hair; leaves no harshness or
sickness

garb Of a workman, and claiming to
De an electrician by trade, yesterday
morning, between 10 and IL o'clock.
pI esented a raised 50 banknote to Mrs.
NJ. T. O'Harrell. who resides at the
corner Of Alcaniz and Zarragossa
streets, and secured SIS in change"
tho stranger, depositing the price OF
4 room for a week, which was the
sum Of the sum OF IS with the VIC
tim.
Mrs. O'Harrell. later presenting the
banknote TO the Citizens and Peoples
bank, was shocked to learn that the
$50 bill was nothing more than a
raised So banknote. and that, besides
the probable fact that she had lost
some worthy occupant II the room
engaged" by the pseudo boarder. she
was also poorer by SIS than she was
before the stranger made application
for the room and so freely and readily
paid for 1he same in advance.
The matter was reported to the po-
lice station at o'clock yesterday
afternoon and special officers were de-
tailed on the case. The bill was taken
to the police station, and last night
was locked up for future evidence
against the guilty party if he is ever
apprehended. Mrs. O'Harrell, who gave
q ve.y minute description of the
stranger, believes that he will be
caught. If 30. the chances are that
the federal government will take
charge of the case.
The description given IS about an

very tall. blue. eyes, teeth set far apart,
attired m the garb OF a workman. and
claiming to be an electrician by trade
The belief is that he was a soldier
or a sailor, in civilian clothing.
The note was obtained by the po
lice shortly after q specially detailed
officer called upon the victim. The
figure ''2" on each Of the four corners
OF both sides Of the note had been
erased, and some cleveriy executed
"20's" were printed there instead Il
was explained by the official In the
bank who detected the fraud that the
work had been done with chalk. wax
and a pencil. but the new figures were
cleverly executed, and none but O prac-
ticed eye would probably have detected
that there had been any mutilation In
AT arst sight. ths1 bta appears to
have been considerably worn about the
corners. or that 1t had been fingered"
a great deal. as II in much handling.
It was folded when handed to the
boarding house keeper. but she me-
chemically unfolded Il and went at
once and secured the change. She also
told the police that the young man
had been drinking when he presented
the note and engaged the room.
