the HAIR BEAUTY
THAT BELONGS TO you

So many who have long known that
hair beauty was certain to follow upon
systematic hair care have been loath
to commence what they mistakenly
think too much trouble. Proper hair
care means only keeping the scalp and
hair perfectly clean by use of some
preparation made for shampooing, not
for general cleansing. You can enjoy
the best that Is known for about three
cents shampoo by getting a package
Of Canthrox from your druggist. Dis
solve a teaspoonful in cup Of hot
water and your shampoo IL ready.
After Its use the hair dries rapidly with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil and
dirt are dissolved and entirely disap-
pear. Your hair will be so fluffy that
II Will look much heavier than It Is.
Its luster and softness win also de-
light you, while the stimulated scalp
gains the health which insures hair
growth.

SWedeS Are Aroused
By Inhuman Warfare

STOCKHOLM, May 1s.-The group OF
prominent Swedes whose names are
found at the end of this dispatch have
requested the distribution in tho United
States of the expression herewith of
their sentiments concerning what they
call "lnhuman methods OF war"
The Swedish people are virtually
unanimous in supporting the govern
ment in its policy of strict neutrality,
yet large section OF them, whether
a majority or not, we cannot say are
anything but neutral In their feelings
over the methods of warfare adopted
In this terrible war which culminat ed
in the sinking Of the steamer Lusi-
tania.
THE misconception that war sus-
pends all the laws of humanity must
prove fatal to the future civilization
and disastrous to that human solidarity
which Is of such vital Importance, par
ucuiarly to the smaller nations of the
world"

Plain Before Ypres Is
Called Charnel House;
Foe Attacks Recklessly

LONDON, MAY 16.-The Times prints
the following from its correspondent in
France:
THE German offensive against Ypres
has assumed phase which may very
properly be described as a desperate
counter. Since his great assault OF
saturday last the enemy has not ceased
to hurl an attack across the fields in
front of the town and each new attach
seems to be of more reckless character
than its predecessors.
The plain before Ypres Is a charnel
ho, sc Of German dead. Ypres itself is
broken and battered. The British line
reset and REINFORCED is stronger than
before and not even the reckless de-
srair which throws a thousand men
away In half an hour can prevail
against 1t.

Its peculiar characteristics of coolncss

New British War Loan
Is Expected by London

LONDON. May 1e.-The city is talking
about another war loan within a couple
of months. The amount discussed is
$1.0oo.000.0 900, much on the same lines as
the one issued in November for 1885,
100000 Reports are current that some
OF the banks and large Insurance houses
have been asked to keep their decks
clear or to have their funds in as liquid
state as possible in preparation for an
early issue.
Treasury bills which are being issued
by the government through the Bank Of
England to the amount of So. 600 daily
are believed to be principally of three and
six months duration, and as there are
a large number falling due which were
issued by tender some time ago the mar
ket has been discussing the method the
government will adopt in order to meet
obligations falling due and to obtain fur
ther funds.
The issue of daily treasury bills will
probably continue for some time to meet
current expenses, but in all probability
a big loan will be required, particularly
