WE'D is UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS
Continued from First page.

But it seems that it is impossible
for Mr.. Weidenfellow to remain pass
i've when there is work to be done.
He has fought nobly against the de-
sire to stay out of politics. But to
no purpose!
Now, at the suggestion of friends,
he is again on deck and working like
a mailer to pull the Republican party
out of the kinks and make the MEM
bers work. He should be able to
accomplish that very thing.
Kalamazoo Republicans are fortu-
nate in having Chas. Weidenfellow
with his live wire proclivities, located
in Kalamazoo at this time.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

It is not necessary to shampoo
quite so frequently if your hair is
properly cleansed each time by use
of really good shampoo. The
easiest to use and quickest drying
shampoo that we can recommend to
our readers may be prepared very
cheaply by dissolving a teaspoonful
of canthrox, obtained from your drug
gist, in a cup Of hot water. This
rubbed into the scalp creates thick
lather, soothing and cooling in its
action, as we'll as very beneficial to
