please, how many of our home la
dies have beautiful hair-glossy, lus-
trous and we'll dressed. Then if you
will pick out five or ten of those
whose hair seems to be particularly
pretty and ask them what they use on
it, we feel sure that at least more
than half of them will say Harmony
Hair Beautifier." 1t is fast becoming
the rage with both men and women
who are particular about the appear
ance of their hair.
Sprinkle a little Harmony Hair
Beautifier on your hair each time be-
fore brushing it. Contains no oil;
will not change color of hair, nor
darken gray hair.

free and clean, use Harmony Sham
poo. This pure liquid shampoo gives
an instantaneous rich lather that i'm
mediately penetrates to every part
of hair and scalp, insuring quick;
thorough cleansing. Washed off
just as quickly, the entire operation
takes only few moments. Contains
nothing that can harm the hair;
leaves no harshness or sickness
just a sweet cleanliness.
Both preparations come in odd
shaped. very ornamental bottles,
with sprinkler tops. Harmony Hair

Part of Campaign for Saw
ing of the Babies.

Yesterday three babies were added
TO the seven enrolled last week in the
child welfare bureau at the West End
Settlement in the interest of better
babies The mothers are much inter-
ested in the effort that is being made
by the Visiting Nurse association I'M
der the direction of the visiting nurses,
Misses Edna Flanagan and Georgia
TurnbulI. and Dr. A. y. Mueller for
the betterment of babies and their liv
ing conditions. The bureau is conduct
sd every Wednesday afternoon at
$3.50 O'Clock. and after weighing and
examining the babies a record is made
OF them and each week is added to ac-
cording to results.
The visiting nurses are very anxious
to establish a milk station in the city
and in this effort have the endorse
ment OF the Visiting Nurse associa-
ton. With a milk depot established
where each babys food formula is
scientifically prepared each day by the
nurses and put I'm separate bottles for
each feeding in "a hours. the hope is
entertained that the death rate among
babies will be greatly reduced. Funds
are necessary for the carrying on OF
this branch Of the visiting nursea
work and they are hopeful that the
way will soon be opened up whereby
they may establish the depot before
the advent Of hot weather.
