HAIR SUhBURMS As
MUCH As the SKIN

Remember that to dry the hair in
the sun is disastrous. for the hair
when we will fade and change color
just as the skin becomes tanned or
burned. Sunshine and fresh air are
both fine hair tonicS. but not hot
sunshine on wet or damp nair. Not
until you have thoroughly dried
your tresses after a shampoo are you
ready to give them their Sunhath.
And. too, it is imperative that YOU
be very careful in choosing your
cleansing preparation. and never use
c~leanserS made for all purposes. hut
instead get some good mixture made
expressly for shampooing the hair
and stimulating its growth. You can
enjoy the best that is known by get
ting a package of CanthroX from
your druggist: dissolve n teaspoon
full in a cup of hot water and your
shampoo is ready. After its use the
hair dries rapidly with uniform
color. Dandrutf, excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear.
Your hair will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than it is. Its lus-
ter and sottncsS will also delight
you. while the stimulated scalp gains
the health which inSures hair growth.

that provision be made for removing

the approval Of the Senate.
Mr.. Wilcox proposed tina the power

told the committee that he believed II
would be n good idea to provide for BIZ

Great praise for the work done by

This man-this great President-this
hero and soldier-has been before you

asked for a political appointment of an

Mr.. Barnes had ragged and finched

tack. He often laughed. but there was
no mirth whatever In the laugh. Often
he threw his chin upward in a scorn-
ful gesture Often his face set hard
and mis- eyes turned toward Col. Roose-

The Colonel, on the other hand, was
obviously delighted with the summing

Occasionally he clinched his fist and

Jumping to his feet he called on the
Germans to throw down their arms,
as they we're covered by the rifles Of
his friends. Paddy ordered them to
march in single file toward our
trenches He followed behind with
his rife ready. When the Germans
found that the trenches were so far
away they were waxy bnt as they
had previously thrown away their
arms they could do nothing against
Paddy and his rife, so they made the
best of a bad Job and were brought
