TODAY'SAID TO BEAUTY

An especially fine shampoo for this
weather can be easily made at trifling
expense by simply dissolving a tea
spoonful of canthrox in a cup of hot
water. Pour slowly on scalp and mas
sage briskly. This creates a soothing
cooling lather that dissolves and re-
moves all dandruff, excess oil and dirt.
Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly
clean, soft and plant, while the hair
takes on a glossy richness of natural
color, also a fluffiness which makes it
seem very much heavier than it is.
After canthrox shampoo arranging
the hair is pleasure.-Adverti

Urges everyone TO drink glass of
hot water before
breakfast

Just as coal, when it burns. leaves

bustible material in the form of ashes.
so the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible mater
ial. which if not completely eliminated
from the system each day, becomes
food for the millions of bacteria which
infest the bowels. From this mass of
leftover waste, toxins and ptomain-
like poisons ore formed and sucked
into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot wa
ter with teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it to wash out of the
thirty feet of bowels the previous day

Those who are subject to sick head
ache. colds, biiousness. constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, baclache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have a sour gaSsy stomach
after meals. are urged to get a quar-
ter mound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store. and begin practicinS

little. but is sufficient to make any one
an enthusiast on the subject.

Is Florida Promise

Miami. Fla, Dec 16.-Alcogas IS the
latest liquid manufactured 10 be used
for the propulsion OF automobiles in
stead of gasoline. Charles Abbey is
the inventor, and Carl G. Weiderling,
of Fort Lauderdale. Fla, is backing
him in his efforts 10 get the fluid on
the market.
The new gas IS being manufactured
in small quantities in an imprOvised
plant. The liquid is composed largely
Of alcohol. which is manufactured
from green corn stalks or any other
sort of green vegetable matter.
Mr.. Abbey is a chemist OF consider
able note, having for many years been
employed by the pure food depart
ment of the Hungarian government
In his experiments here Mr.. Abbey
started the engine OF a new automo-
bile with the liquid without first heat
ing the engine. The automobile was
driven several miles. and apparently
as much power was obtained from
alcogas as would have been secured
from gasoline. The burning of the
alcogas did not leave carbon in the
cylinder.
The inventor claims to be able to
manufacture alcOgas at a cost Of five
and fraction cents a gallon Some
adjustments Of automobile carburetOrs
are necessary before changing from
gasoline TO alcOgas. More complete
experiments are to be conducted with
the fluid shortly at a big automobile
manufacturing plant in the east.
