ICE WATER FUNDS
GO UP IN SMOKE
All Of Contingent Fund For
Department Of Labor Is
Already Exhausted.

Employees OF the Department OF Labor
are facing a long drought. due to a
shrinking Of the contingent fund OF the
department.
Employees are being informed that,
owing to lack OF funds. the department
has found 1t necessary TO forego pur-
chases OF ice, and that ice water will
not be furnished in the future. There
is no relief in sight, as the urgent de-
ficiency measure now under considera-
ton in the House makes no addition to
the contingent fund or provision for
ice or ice water.
Some weeks ago. the department
heads were confronted with the alternd-
tive OF banking the furnace fires. and
letting employees SILVER i'm the wintrS
temperature. or OF foregoing the joys OF
ice water in the hot days to come. II
was decided to take care of the pres
ent. and hope for the future. Conse-
quently the ice water funds have been
burned up in coal. The department will
continue to have plenty OF water, but
It will not have the refreshing GOODNESS

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

An especially fine shampoo for
this weather can be easily made at
trifling expense by simply dissolv-
ing a teaspoonful of canthroX in a
cup Of hot water. Pour slowly on
scalp and massage lTiskly. This
creates a soothing, cooling lather
that dissolves and removes all dand-
ruff, excess oil and dirt. Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean,
soft and plant, while the hair takes
on a glossy richness of natural col
or, also a fluffiness which makes it
seem very much heavier than it is.
After a canthrOx shampoo arrang-
ing the hair is 2 pleasure.-AdVt.

YES-IT IS POSSIBLE
TO STOP RHEUMATISM

Rheumatism is tormenting and
stubborn malady In some cases it
yields to treatment which is without
avail in other cases.
The darling pains, lame muscles or
stiffened joints only disappear by grad
ually expelling the uric acid, and so
many thousands have been relieved by
the blood-enriching oil-food in SCOTS
Emulsion that you should give it a
faithful trial. SCOTS Emulsion acts as
apowerful blood-purifer by increasing
the red corPuscles and it strengthens
the organs to carry off the acids which
cause the trouble.
Try SCOTS Emulsion. Itcannot harm.
II has helped thousands and may be ex-
actly what you need: No Alcohol.
