ICE WATER FUNDS

All of Contingent Fund For
Department of Labor Is
Already Exhausted.

Employes OF the Department Of Labor
are facing a long drought. due to g
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-
fciency 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 alternL-
tive OF banking the furnace fires. and
letting employees shiver in the wintry
temperature, or OF foregoing the joys OF
ice water in the hot days to come. 1t
was decided to take care Of the pres
ent. and hope for the future. Conse-

T0DAY'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 canthroN in q
cup of hot water. Pour slowly on
scalp and massage lniskly. This
creates a soothing, cooling lather
that dissolves and removes all dand-
ruff, excess oil and Girt. 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.

The Sunshine.

The child's character in futur,
years will reflect just a. much sun
shine and cheer as surrounded him
from the earliest days. We recognize
unthinkingly that the child is a re
Election of his surroundings. The whin-
ing child lives with irritable people
The rude child is not treated cOurte-
ously. We recognize the beloved child
at once. Whatever of strength or
weakness may be hidden in the chlld's
heart. his manners and mannerisms,
or the reverse. are the reflections Of
his surroundings. No child speaks a
harsh word until he has heard one.
No child lies. In the essential meaning
of the term, II he is brought up in an
atmosphere Of kindness. And the be-
ginning Of this silent training is in the
very beginning Of his life. Love and
truth must wrap the cradle. Firmness
and self-cOntrol must be the mothers
while the babe yet sleeps in her arms.
