Soft, Fluffy Hair Aids Beauty and Personality

Girls and women of all ages want to be charming. beautiful and at tractive-it's their birthright-but stringy. thin and lifeless hair de- stroys half the beauty of a pretty face.
 If your hair is not beautiful, is falling out. streaky, full of dandruff, too dry, or if the scalp itches and burns, use Parisian Sage. Rub it well into the scalp It will go right to the hair roots, nourish them, and stimulate the hair to grow strong and luXuriant. Parisian Sage removes
 andruff with one application and cieanses the hair of dirt, dust and ex- cessive oil. It will cool and invig- crate the scalp and make the hair doubly beautiful
 Partisan Sage IS a scientifically made preparation that gives the hai, just what is needed to make it soft fluffy, thick and gloriously radiant It is delicately perfumed; is inexpen sive, and can be had at all drug and toilet counters or from the Owl Drug Co,

 Art seemed as it often seems when looking nature right in her beautiful face a somewhat tawdry and futile waste of energy.
 The strange light fell across q wide ploughed stretch of land. and it became the acute red of brick; the light flowed on splashingly against the mountains and they deepened their amethyst to purple.

"rhe Great Leap" at The Lion

It does seem out of reason for any one to risk their lives to make scene for a moving picture, but Robert liar ron and Mae Marsh seem to have the nerve and the inclination when they jumped from the 50-foOt precipice on horseback to the river below, they set a high water mark in dangerous and sensational feats for moving pictures.

From Father to Son. a twO-reel Rex drama, the special offering at the Regale theater today. gives Bob Leonard and Betty Schade an unusual opportunity to display their histrionic talent, and with respect to Mir.

II is not uncommon to find boy radically different from his father in mental. physical and moral makeup. A father may be the worst beast in the world. while his son may be the perfect type of manhood. This play concerns a boy who is decidedly different, an improvement over his father in every way, and a superior girl who has a degenerate brother.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Years ago q

gotten book, strongly socialistic. en-
titled Looking Backward" 1t was
ingenious in spots, rather dull in
many others. How much more inter
esting 1t would be, If we could look
forward, say brief fifty years. The
past forty years have brought us SO
much Of vital interest and of tremend-
GUS Importance. II we proceed at the
same rate, or if we are gathering
momentum, what marvellous progress
shall we have made in another fifty
years.
Our Mississippi valley does not
picture that it offered forty years ago.
A trip from Keokuk to ST. Louis fifty
years ago, revealed forests and
streams on both sides with an occa-
sional break, where a small town
nestled. The aspect has not been
changed materially in this half cen
fury. The banks are to large ex.
tent, lined with trees and back OF
these trees there are swamps. Here
and there, where high land ap-
lproaches the river, there are towns
and perhaps good farms.
Is it impossible to picture what the
river from st. Paul to New Orleans
will look like within less than fifty
| years? Every acre of the vast en-
pire that has been going to waste for
untold ages, will have been redeemed
,f no or1o CT
varied and most interesting scene
will greet the traveller on this long
journey. The river valley will have
become thickly populated and her
people will be the happiest and the
most prosperous in the world. The
inexhaustible soil will repay manifold
the labor of the husbandman and all
manner of manufacturing industries
will flourish on the shores. Greater
fleets than were ever dreamed Of in
the days before the war" will pillow
the waters of the great river and
travellers from all parts of the world
will come to see for themselves what
transformation busy Americans
have wrought here.
Eventually art will step in and
there will be buildings of rare beauty
to crown some eminence or to adorn
some islands and the strangest, most
remarkable thing of all, will appear
to be the simple fact that within less
than two-score years the wilderness
will have been transformed into the
fairest, richest garden on earth. What
is more. this is no flight of fancy, no
idle dream 1t is what can be clearly
discerned by all who are not wilfuly
blind. and that is what the drainage
engineer, with his levees and bitches
and pumps, and the progressive,
wide-awake, enterprising land-own-
ers will have accomplished. without
federal Or state aid. They will do this
thing because it will pay and because
it is a splendid ideal that will appeal
to them as they begin to think about
1t.
The great Cooper dam, the Eads
bridge and jetties and the Panama
canal will be but as fly specks on
the map as compared to this magnifi-
cent enterprise, which has behind it
no great names whom the world will
applaud. but just a lot of plain, ey-
eryday American citizens.
