THE COMPLEXITIES OF LIFE.

Life used to be a simple thing.
Most any one could live it
And very little studying
Was he obliged to give 1t.
But nowadays he has to be
scientific man,
And know a lot of things, or he
VIII be an also-ran.
He has to have n motor car.
And so he has to know
The reason for each jolt and jar
And just what makes it go
He must be competent to mend
The engine and the gears.
And straighten, should it chance to bend
The radius rod that steers.
He heats his little home with steam.
And so he has to learn
The details of this modern scheme
And Just what valves to turn.
AS soon as Summer days have fed
And Winter days appear.
The man who hopes to keep ahead
Must be an engineer.
And always 1t is something new.
Some complicated thing
That has a certain work to do,
And does 1t with spring.
The vacuum cleaner all apart
I've often had to take,
Until I know the thing by heart
And how to mend break
But now I'm up against 1t quite.
For help have to call,
I studied over 1t last night
And took II from the wall.
l looked its ''innards'' through and
through
But still 1t floored me flat.
For nothing I could think TO do
Would fix that thermostat
Life used to he a simple thing.
And men had time for play,
But now 1t keeps us studying
Each new device to-day.
No time has he to idle stand
And spend In friendly chat
Who has car. a furnace and
A little thermostat

THE HAIR THAT
ARTISTS ADMIRE

Ask an artist what he considers the
chief charm of beautiful hair and he
viii answer that he looks for even
color, brillianoe and a lOoseness that
eliminates any hard. definite lines.
Naturally beautiful and healthy hair
are obtained by retaining a perfectly
clean head. In washing the hair it is
not advisable to use a makeshift but
always use preparation made for
shampOOing only. You can enjoy the
best that is known for about three
cents a shampoo by getting a package
Of canthrOx from your druggist; dis
solve a teaspoonful in cup Of hot
water and your shampoo is ready.
After its use the hair dries RAPIDLY
with uniform color. Dandruff. excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear Your hair will be so fluffy
that it will look much heavier than
it is. It's lustre and softness will also
delight you, while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair
