against the Pillow City and soon a
crowd of half a hundred people had

SIMPLE HAIR STYLES
THIS YEAR

The English Bum" with its accom-
panying dozen of simple styles, which
bark back to our own sunbonnet days,
is here we trust to spend a long time.
Someway women's hair never looks as
attractive as wnen it is dressed in the
simplest manner. providing it is one of
the styles which suit the face of the
wearer. However, the simple methods
leave less opportunity for artffice and
make greater care necessary in keep
ing the hair clean and lustrous. Canth-
rox is 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 a teaspoon
full canthrox. which every drug store
carries in stock. in a cup hot water,
then pour slowly on the head as you
rub briskly. This makes a thick, sooth-
ing lather that allays irritation. makes
the head feel good and puts the scalp
a healthy condition. which assures
beautiful heavy hair.-(Adv.)

This morning it developed that De

other three players, their caddies and

The temptation to play hurriedly
or carelessly would to most men have
proved irresistible, and even the
movement of the little crowd would
have distracted many a first class

He holed out these puts with great
steadiness and care and with a con-
centration of purpose which rose SUI

note for 6 1000 with which Admiral

has been watched with great interest
by English golf authorities and play
ers. Many have been the interviews

from discussion of Ouimet and his
manner of playing as it appeared in
an English journal:
after all, however, it seemed to
me that the greatest strength of Mr..
Ouimets game lies in an infinite ca
pacity for playing his own game.
Here is an instance of what
mean: AS was natural in a four

that the destination of the hole was

putted out, but if Mr.. Ouimet were
