Why Society Women Wash
Their Own Hair.

Few realize how many society
women now wash their own hair,
not because it is a fad, but be-
cause they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using any
thing harmful. The thousands
who have found that in washing
the hair it is never wise to use a
makeshift but is always advisable
to use a preparation made for
shampooing only, say they get the
best results from simple home
made canthrox mixture. You can
enjoy this, the best that is known,
for about three cents a shampoo
by getting some oanthrox from
your druggist, and diss0lving
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water.
Your shampoo is now ready. After
its use the hair dries rapidly with
uniform color. Danruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and en-
tirely disappear. Your hair will
be so fluffy that 1t will look much
heavier than it is. Its lustre and
softness will also delight you,
while the slim ulated scalp gains
the health which insures hair
growth.

PULL GUN
.0NCOP, IS
CHARGED

r. w. Wilkinson, 2902 North
Union avenue, special policeman
on strike duty at the Sperry Mills,
faced death at the hands of an
armed band of men whom he dis
covered in the underbrush on a
hillside above the mill property
Monday evening.
The policeman escaped and
managed to capture one of the
men, but only after he had faced
cooked revolver in the hands
of a member of the group, and
had fought handto-hand battle
with the one he captured.
OFFICER Wilkinson was making
his rounds on the bluff above the
Sperry property, the scene of the
first strike riot in connection with
the longshoremen's strike, when
he found six or seven men crouch
ed in the underbrush.
He advanced on the men, and
several hands went to hips. One
man brought forth a gun, cooked
it and aimed it at the officer, ac-
cording to Wilkinson.
The policeman, Drawing death,
drew his own gun.
Neither man was willing to fire
the first shot.
In the meantime one of the
party edged around behind Wiki
inson and leaped upon the Off
GERS back. A bitter struggle fol-
lowed, in which Wilkinson lost
his gun and was forced to fight
with bare knuckles against his ad-
versary.
While the fight was in progress
the other men disappeared
through the underbrush. Wilkin-
son finally overpowered his oppo-
nent and sent him to Jail. The

HOW MAGNESIA
HELPS DYSPEPTICS

Patent Foods, Dieting and Medt-
cines No Longer Necessary.
Many dyspeptics have now dis
continued the use of expensive
patent foods, are eating what
they please in reason yet no longer
take harmful drugs. medicines and
artificial digestents to relieve
their stomach trouble. Instead
they just take a teaspoonful of
pure bisurated magnesia in little
water after meals, with the result
that they not only save money but
enjoy much better health and the
stomach no longer gives them
trouble.
Those who have once tried
bisurated magnesia never dread
the approach of meal time because
they know that this wonderful
antacid and food corrective which
absolutely does not injure the
stomach and which can be obtain
ed at little cost at almost any drug
store will instantly neutralize all
their excessive stomach acidity
and prevent all possibility OF their

CONSCRIPTION BILL PASSES

London, Jan. 13-Parliamentary
opposition to the conscription Bill
practically collapsed last night when
the House of. Commons, amid scenes
of uprcarious enthusiasm, agreed to
the bills second reading without a
division after William c. Anderson's
motion to reject the measure had
been defeated by 431 to 50. On the
first reading last Thursday the vote
stood 403 to 105.
The day in commons was full of
sensational developments. Premier
Asouith announced that as a conces-
sion to labor the government should
introduce an amendment preventing
employers from using the measure as
a weapon against employees.
The debate in the House last night
was closed by Arthur Henderson ir
a much-applauded speech. He said he
would remain in the cabinet for the
present, since Premier Asquith's as.
surances had been given to the labor
ties in the name of the whole cabi.
net.

ed in the house of commons yesterday
afternoon that the resignation OF

Only palms and ferns were used in
the state drawing room, and tall
stands and vases of tiger lilies and
jacqueminot roses decorated the wide

In the dining room, where supper was
served from a ba:.c.1. table arranged

The people by an overwhelm-
ing majority voted for State
wide prohibition and thereby
: committed the State to this
policy. No adequate legisla-
ton has been enacted for put
ing into effect the will of the
people as thus expressed. 1t
remains for this session to
!: translate that sentiment into
definite, vigorous and unmis-
taxable action.
The Constitution declares in
express terms; "The chief exc
cutive power Of the State shall
be vested in a Governor" "The
Governor shall take care that
the laws are faithfully execut-
ed"
In seeking to obey this man;
date, of the Constitution, | have
been impressed with the absence
of legislation furnishing means
for the effective performance
of the duty thus imposed. The
absence of such means will be-
come more apparent when pro-
hibition goes into effect.
The people of Virginia hav-
ing declared that prohibition
shall prevail throughout the
State in every community, re-
gardless of the will of that
community, it follows as a
matter of necessity, that the
State must step in and enforce
the law where the local authori-
ties fail to do SO.
To assume that the local Off
GERS can and will, in all cases,
perform their duties in this re-
spect, is to shut our eyes to
the experience of all other
States where prohibition laws
have been enacted.
General disregard of law,
lack OF respect for the courts
and for public officials is an evil
as great as interperance itself,
and if we increase the former
evil without decreasing the lat
ter, prohibition will prove a
calamity and not a blessing.
I therefore call your atten-
ton to the fact that the
strengthening Of the central
executive power of the State
is absolutely essential to the
proper enforcement of prohibi-
ton;
