China Educating Its Women

1t was less than twenty years ago that
the old Chinese viceroy, Chang-Chi-tung
when asked to open a school for women
in his province. said, Women should NOT
be given books in which to hide their
embroidery threads"
There is indeed no greater revolution
in China. as well as in Egypt and India.
than that which has come over these ma
tons relative to the education of women.
In the province Of Chih-n there were re-
ported recently to be 3314 women stu
dents, not including those In PekinS.
These young women were distributed un-
der a8 teachers through sixty-one differ
ent towns and included two kindergarten
training schools, lis elementary schools
three high and three normal schools.
A like educational advance Is evident
throughout the larger cities and the chief
provinces Of the middle kingdom. Eight

HAIR AND The
MARRIAGE MARKET

Too many men have been unpleas-
antly surprised to find that their wife's
hair which they had so greatly admired
was only a switch or transformation.
We now know that poor hair is a con-
fession of either laziness or lack of
knowledge, and that fair care with
sensible means will insure scalp health
and hair beauty. In washing the hair
il is not advisable to use a makeshift,
but always use a 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 a cup OF hot wa
ter and your shampoo is ready. After
its use the hair dries rapidly with uni
form color. Dandruff. excess oil. and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear. Your hair will be so fluffy that
il will look much heavier than 1t is.
Its luster and softness viii also delight
you, while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair growth.

Quickly Relieves
Without Distress

The congestion OF waste and
refuse from the stomach. fer
menting in the bowels, generates
poisonous gases that occasion
distress and invite serious illness
Health and comfort demand that
this congestion be speedily re-
lieved and the foul mass expelled.
The well-founded objection
most people have to the violence
of cathartic and purgative agents
is overcome by using the combi-
nation OF simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that is sold in drug
stores under the name of DR..
