How You Can Remove
Every Trace of Hair

A stiff paste made with some pow
dered delatone and water and spread
on a hairy surface about 2 minutes
will, when removed, take every trace
Of hair with it. The skin should
then be washed to free it from the
remaining delatone. No harm can re-
suit from this treatment, but be sure
it is delatone you get and you will
not be disappointed Advertisement

Music In The Early
Days Of America

Gaillard Hunt, in his work,
Life in America One Hundred
Years Ago." calls attention to the
fact that even though there was
plenty of music in America, there
was no American music, except
that of the Indians, prior to 1919
"Of indigenous music there
could be only that of the Indian
The white man liked to learn
many things from him." Mr.. Hunt
continues, "especially his wood
craft and some of his methods OF
fighting, but never cared to learn
his music. In fact, the tona.
method was so different that il
was not music at all to white ears
"But it was different with the
music of the Negroes. They hac
developed a local music full OF
harmony and beauty. 1t was made
by welding their native chants
upon the white mans hymns, lul
labies, and folk-songs. They were
more passionately fond of music
than the whites.
