HOW TO JUDGE A
WOMAN BY HER HAIR

There are always the we'll
known and semi-humorous meth
DDS, such as saying brunettes are
quick-tempered. But there is real
common sense in just noticing
whether the hair is well kept to
Judge woman's neatness. If you
are one of the few who try to
make the most of your hair, re-
member that it is not advisable
to wash the hair with any cleans
err made for all purposes. but al
ways use some good preparation
made expressly for shampooing.
You can enjoy the very best by
getting some canthrox from your
druggist and dissolving tea
spoonful in a cup of hot water
when your shampoo is all ready.
After its use the hair dries rapid
ly with uniform color. Dandruff.
excess oil and dirt are dissolved
and entirely disappear. Your
hair Will be so fluffy that it will
look much heavier than it is.
Its luster and softness will also
delight you. while the stimulated
scalp gains the health which in
sures hair growth.

Thin People Can
Increase Weight

AHiH Llen ana women who
would like to increase their
weight with 10 or Is pounds of
healthy stay there" fat should
try eating little Sargol with
their meals for a while and note
results. Here is a good test
worth trying. First weigh your
self and measure yourself. Then
take Sargol-one tablet with
every meal-for two weeks. Then
weigh and measure again. 1t
isn't a question OF how you look
or feel or what your friends say
and think. The scales and the
tape measure will tell their own
story, and many thin men and
women we believe can easily add
from five to eight pounds in the
first fourteen days by following
this simple direction. And best
of all. the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make
fat, but mixing with your food,
1t aims to turn the fats, sugars
and starches of what you have
eaten, into rich, ripe fat produo-
ing nourishment for the tissues
and blood-prepare 1t in an cas-
lily assimilated form which the
blood can readily accept. Much
of this nourishment now passes
from your body as waste. But
Sargol works to stop the waste
and do it quickly and to make
the fat producing contents of the
very same meals you are eating
now develop pounds and pounds
of healthy flesh between your
skin and bones. Sargol is safe,
pleasant, efficient and inexpen-
sive. The Crown Drug Co. and
other leading druggists in this
vicinity sell 1t in large boxes
forty tablets to package-on a
guarantee of weight increase or
money back as found in each
large box.

they do, 1t is instinctively and not
an affected pose.

name several other varieties of
kisses unknown before to the
writer.
Many Kinds of Kisses.
There are so many kinds, you
know" said Miss Hunt, her eyes
dancing, land l am inclined to
believe that a girl has a certain
expression for each one of
them"
Miss Hunt promised to observe
the next opportunity given her,
and to let me know.
In the meantime. dear
readers, can you come to my
rescue? Any information
will be gratefully received.
Q.--I have always wanted
to be detective and | am
now taking up subjects to
prepare myself for one. The
young boys and girls of New
York act as policemen and
policewomen, SO don't you
think that the young boys
and girls could do the same
in this city?
They could 60 around the
streets and correct the chill
dren who are forced to play
In the streets because they
have no yards, when they do
wrong. 1t would be a great
help to the mothers who
have to work and leave their
children home to know that
they were being looked after.
The older policemen do not
pay any attention to chill
dren, but l think IL the chill
dren are corrected when they
are young there wouldn't be
so many people behind the
bars today.
What do you think, Miss
Grey? ELSA.
Al think the idea of helping
other little children TO be good
and happy when at play is excel
lent. 1t could easily be practiCed.
The children who wanted to
help could form themselves into
little clubs In each community,
with one Of the older boys or girls
as leaders or directors. But in
stead Of being policemen or po-
iicewOmen, why not call your
selves the little helpers?
OIL am a girl Is years
old and have very decided
views about what intend to
do In the future. Because
do not intend to marry, my
friends ridicule me and say
/ must surely be losing my
mind, as no sane girl would
talk as l do. Just the same
i think women are foolish
to have children, even IL
poor or rich. l never want
child myself. That is why
l am studying now how to
make money to support my
self so that need never
marry. My sisters all mar
ried and have had too many
children. / have seen enough
to make me shnn marriage
for myself.
