Immediately after eating. They rec

DOES YOUR HAIR
SHOW YOUR AGE?

OF course white hair and gray hair
always suggest age, but often faded,
dull and brittle locks make us think
even young people are old. while a
lustrous, heavy head of hair is natur-
ally associated with youthfulness and
forces US to credit its owner with
being young. Perfectly healthy hair
is always identifying and is very
easily acquired if proper care is given
to the hair and scalp. In washing the
hair it is not advisable to use a
makeshift but always use a prepara-
ton made for shampooing only. You
can enjoy the best that is known for
about three cents a shampoo by get
ting a package Of canthrox from your
druggist; dissolve a teaspoonfuI in a
cup of hot water and your shampoo
is ready. After its use the hair dries
rapidly with uniform color. Dam
druff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. US lustre
and softness will also delight you,
while the stimulated scalp gains the
health which insurcs hair growth

six great epoChs is logical as well as

the greatest of all historical eras- In

bus who discovered a new world Co
pernicus, who first demonstrated that
our earth was a satellite OF the sun;
Kepler, who learned the secrets OF the

masterpieces; Raphael and Michael An

the great order of the Jesuits; Luther,
who wrought a cahnge in the religious
faith of Europe; and Shakespeare, per-
haps the mightiest human intellect the
world has ever seen. These are among
the great names treated Of by Larned
In his fourth epoch, which, it may seem
strange did not produce a single mill
Iary genius Of the first order. There
can be no question that Larned's His
tory Of the World, now being distrib-
