To Preserve Her Hair

If women would use an Anti-septic
Oil Shampoo instead of the soaps and
shampoos now SO commonly used, they
would improve rather than injure the
delicate hair plants.
The hair plant is an oil plant and to
wash it with soaps or shampoos CON
tanning free alkah works great injury.
Ii not only cuts the natural oil of the
hair but it destroys the fatty roots of
the hair plant causing the hair to come
out.

nearly out. Miss Butts hair was sing

ian, Issues Statement Calling
Attention to Cases.

How smallpox appears in the fully
developed case was shown to crowds
In the loop" today. A large photo
graph of the back of a patient taken
at the Rock Island municipal deten-
ton hospital, was placed in The Argus
window beneath the news bulletins
and attracted wide attention.
Bringing this photograph to public
gaze is one of the steps municipal
health authorities are taking to pre-
vent the spread of the disease and to
impress upon the public mind neces-
slty of vaccination.
The back of the patient at the time
the photograph was taken was literal
ly covered with postules. In an in
scription beneath the photograph is
stated that the patient would probably
have died had he not received the care
at the detention hospital
DR.. c. T. Foster, city health physic-
ian, issued the following statement to-
day in which he tells of the number
OF cases of disease in the tri-cities and
OF the need of vaccination:
There are at present IS cases OF
scarlet fever, five of diphtheria y of
typhoid fever, Is of measles and IS
cases OF smallpox in the three cities.
Smallpox is a disease that is en-
tirely preventable by vaccination. Of
five separate caretakers who have been
employed at Rock Island city deten-
ton hospital in the past year, none
has had the disease as they were vac
cinated. None of them contracted the
disease even while continuously ex-
posed in the care of from seven to q
cases Of smallpox.
May Pass State Law.
1T is very probable that the state
legislature will enact a law making
vaccination compulsory. The health
department of the city of Rock Island
vaccinated 1924 persons during the
last fiscal year and in several instan-
ces where school children were vac
cinated other members of the same
family contracted the disease, yet in
no instance did those recently vac
cinated contract the disease, though
living with those having it."
