IF women would use an Anti-Septic

would improve rather than injare the
delicate hair plants.
The hair plant is an oil plant and TO
wash it with soaps or shampoos con-

President Wilson's position.

People misunderstood Mr.. Bryan's
position regarding his relations with
the President" said Chairman Thomp-
son. "They differ only on a few prin-
ciples resulting from the war. These
do not affect their political relations.
Mr. Bryan will most likely be one of
