his way of saying, 81 keep it perfectly
clean. Since then we have found that
regular care and perfect cleanliness
means hair health and beauty. 1t is
not advisable when shampooing to use
makeshift, but always use prepara-
tion made for shampooing only. You
can enjoy the best that is known for
about three cents a shampoo by get
ting package of carthrox from your
druggist; dissolve teaspoonful in a
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. Its lustre and softness will
also delight you, while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which insures
hair growth.-Adv.

PAID TO GET THE GOODS

A claim once made on the explorer
Cameron in the neighborhood of Ga
boon, Africa, shows the weirdly pecul-
lar workings of the native African 3
mind Some of Cameron s possessions
proved unduly attractive to a native.
and he determined on transferring the
ownership to himself. He accordingly
paid another native 200 to procure for
him the coveted goods.
The assistant took the money ami
did his best to earn it, but Mr.. Cam
eron had perversely locked up the verv
articles that the fellows employer had
set his heart upon. The man could not
carry out his bargain, and neither did
he feel that he could part With the
money. Therefore he ran off with it.
What more logical than that the man
who was tine loser by 5000 should ex-
pect the explorer to make the loss goode
This he assuredly did expect.
He went to Mr. Cameron and told
him the story, demanding in the first
place the $500 which he (Cameron) bv
locking up his goods had compelled the
complainant to lose and, secondly. the
actual price of the goods themselves.
which but for these arbitrary measures
would now have been in his possession.
1t is not stated that his expectations

Enlarged School Fund Needed
With regard to education, Governor
Brumbaugh said that more attention

The resolution proposing a constitu-

Why the Earth Cannot Explode

The theory is frequently advanced
that plants and even suns sometimes
explode and that the earth may some
day blow up like bombshell. No
celestial body the size of the earth
could possibly explode. If the entire
molten interior of our globe could be
replaced with nitroglycerin and deto-
mated the explosion would not lift the
earth s crust. In other words, if we
assume that the crust of the earth is
from fifty to hundred miles in thick
ness it would require something much
more powerful than even nitroglycerin
to burst the shell. 1t is necessary only
to do little figuring to see that the
pressure of the earth s crust at a
depth of from fifty to a hundred miles
far exceeds the pressure exerted by the
most powerful high explosive.

For as little as $1,000 you can buv at
