MOVIE ACTRESSES
AND THEIR HAIR

Did II ever occur to you that every
movie actress you have seen has lovely
hair. while the most popular count
their curls as their chief beauty? In
fact tthis Is a secret). many are lead
ing ladies Just because OF their attrac-
tive locks. Inquiry among them dts
closes the fact that they bring out all
the natural beauty of their hair by
careful shampooing, not with any
soap Or makeshift, but with q simple
mixture which they make up for them
selves by putting a teaspoonful OF
canthrox (which they get from ths
druggist). in a cup OF hot water AMI
applying this instead of soap. After
its use their hair dries rapidly, with
uniform color. Dandruff, excess oil
and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear. The hair is so fluffy that
1t looks much heavier than IL 10. Its
lustre and softness is delightful. while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.

Senator Lane
For Publicity
In Tax Thefts
BY Basil M. Manly

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug.
9.-"YOu can count on me
not only to vote for publicity
of income tax returns, but
also for passage of any meas
ure that will accomplish that
result" said Senator Lane of
Oregon, when / asked him
today for a statement of his
position on the POindexter
amendment to insure pub
licity of income tax returns
so that the tax dodgers can
be spotted.
1.-THE Newspaper Enterprise as
ISOLATION did fine piece of pub
lie service in commissioning you
to make an investigation of the
workings of the income tax and
in giving your finds such wide
publicity.
The only thing that will save
any human institution from cor
ruption and decay is publicity.
1.-THE frauds disclosed by your
investigation are truly enormous
in extent-s320,000,000 almost
exceeds the power of the magma
tion-but after seeing, as ! have,
the Indians as wards of this ma
tion robbed of millions of dollars
worth Of their tribal property b,
the very same crowd of people
who are now evading their income
, taxes, | am not at all surprised.
Furthermore, II you had seen
the supine indifference with
which the government officials
stand by while the Indians, whom
they are commissioned to protect.
are being robbed, you would not
be surprised at the indifference
and unconcern which the officials
of the treasury department have
apparently displayed with regard
to the income tax frauds"
