older persons this waving OF tho hair lifts
years from their faces. The arrangement
Of the hair means 80 much II by taking
the trouble to wave IL you can improve

In answer TO the question, Does II injure

with a heated iron. but mo" II II Is waved
in the proper manner
I never recommend the use of n heated
iron. Many heads Of beautiful hair have
been ruined by the soaring ourler. The
Intense heat robs the hair OF it's life and
sheen. and It finally breaks of into in
Vulnerable short lengths, or falls out at
the roots.
There are any number Of patent curriers'
In the shops from which you can make
a selection that will not do the hair the
slightest injury. Avoid the curler which
has hinges or sections In which the hair
can be caught and broken. Choose
curler made OF one piece OF material and
OF n thickness TO produce the type of wave
you desire. Some hair appears best with
n broad wave, while another coiffure will
be more becoming II the wave is closer.
II your hair is inclined to wave naturally,
/ consider IL no less than n small crime
to curl the hair artlncially and spoil the
natural wave.
When you have provided yourself with
the right kind OF curriers'. brush the hair
thoroughly, for II should not be brushed

CANDIDATES ARE THERE
WITH THE CLAD HAND.

There was goodly gathering Of
democratic state politicians present
in Flagstaff during the two days cele-
bration and each of them was doing
his best to present his formost side
to the greatest number of people and
endeavoring to soften up the hearts
of the opposition in his especial case.
There was A. A. Belts, candidate
for Corporation commissioner, who
was short distance behind a kid
with a banner which announced {:
"Betts is qualified Sure, some re-
publican exclaimed, "Betts, he's bad
bet" while his friends claimed oppo-
site.
Secretary of State Sid Osborne was
introducing his competitor, Nit Sims
around among his friends;
for sure whether or not he was invit-
ing the odious comparison or in hopes
that square deal might tend to soft
en- the heart of Nit.
Sam Proctor, the northern candi-
date for corporation commissioner
was in town from Winslow, and was
not backward in handing out his union
card to the people with the suggestion
that it would be mighty pleasant il
they would see fit to hand him their
vote at the coming primaries.
Jesse Boyce, a Coconino county
product who fairly well cushioned
with a tissue that don't wear off, and
laugh that is more than Mime
haha, was among his old time friends
suggesting that as he has no opposi-
ton for the nomination as state audi
tor, the republicans should be decent
and either vote for him or kindly
forget the other fellow.
1 While they all passed the Sun office
up, The Sun does not feel that it is in
duty bound to do the same to them
for it is well known that even a
knock is a boost in this country.

A considerable number of Mexicans
have said that they were willing to

We're willing to die either for or
against it, They have been doing
that for the past five years and the
country is no richer. Now, if some Of
them had brains enough to declare
they wanted to live for their country,
they would be talking some sense.
