timony in Matter of Wash

Yesterday testified against municipal
ownership of trolleys before the DIS

for municipalizing the traction lines

Mr.. McCarter followed two argu-
menLs. both having 70 do with the
vast increase n government en-

SIMPLE HAIR STYLES
THIS YEAR

The English Bum with its ac-
companying dozen of simple styles,
which bark back to our own sunbon-
net days, is here, we trust. to spend a
long time Someway woman's hair
never looks so attractive as when 1t
is dressed in the simplest manner,
providing 1t is one of the styles which
suit the face of the wearer. How
ever. the simple methods leave less
opportunity for artitice and make
greater care necessary in keeping the
hair clean and lustrous. Canthrox
is a shampoo which offers a quick,
easy and economical way to cleanse
the scalp. 1t will restore to the hair
its soft fluff, rich gloss and natural
color You make it by dissolving q
teaspoon canthrox, which every
drug store carries in stock, in cup
hot water then pour slowly on the
head as you rub brlskly. This makes
thick, soothing lather that allays
irritation, makes the head feel good
and puts the scalp in a healthy con-
dition, which assures beautiful henvy
