neatness, or in looking at her
style of arranging her hair, to
decide whether or not she has
good taste. If you are one OF the
few who try to make the most OF
your hair, remember that it is
not advisable to wash the hair
with any cleanser made for all
purposes, but always use some
good preparation made expressly
for shampooing. You can enjoy
the very best by getting some
canthrox from your druggist and
dissolving a teaspoonful in a cur

TANNED to the doors with pro-

He Hears About Bosses.

job, who was to land another
berth, what laws were to be en-
acted, what other ones were to
be repealed.
