lady, which would you rather
have, a perfect love accompanied
by raging toothache, or love-
less life without pain?"
/, never having had the tooth
ache, said Immediately that I
could not live without love. But
today, with that awful agony
which showed me exactly just
what the Christian martyrs on
the rack suffered, I know that
no love in all this world would by
any possibility compensate or
even alleviate bodily pain.

clusion that too much thinking is
not good for one. You remember
what David Harum said in that
novel of long ago. "A few fleas

TODAY'S BEAUTY HELP

You can keep your hair at its
very best by washing it with a
teaspoonful of canthrox dissolved
in a cup Of hot water, afterward
rinsing thoroughly with clear wa
ter. One finds that the hair dries
quickly and evenly, is unstreaked,
bright, soft and very fluffy, so
fluffy in fact, that it looks more
abundant than it is, and so soft
that arranging it becomes pleas
ure. This simple. inexpensive
shampoo cleanses the hair and

and dirt, and leaves clean.

hair will be brighter and glossier
