WHAT CATARRK IS

1t has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
OF the body; and local treatments in
The form Of Snuifs and vapors do little,
IL any good.
10 correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-tood in SCOTS Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit.

Capitol Is Optimistic
Oper Mexican Prospect

Senate and House studied the dis
PATCHES from the border today with
keen interest. and were disposed to feel
lcss pessimistic about the danger OF
gettIng into war with Mexico.
II is realized that General Pershine
has accomplished q good deal In start
ing into Mexican territory without get
ting into difficulty with the CafranEista
troops at the outset.
For the first time since the plan TO
get villa" was announced. there is
real hope In Washington today that the
Mexican expedition can be accomplished
without leading to armed Intervention.
Officials Assured.
The fact that the main body Of troops
under General Pershins is across the
border and that Carranza's troops thus
far are reported as showing a dlsposi-
ton to co. operate has treasured officials
and members OF Congress.
. Numerous kilograms received here
by Senators and members OF Congress
from the border, telling of uneasiness
and fear OF citizens there and OF need
fo.' more troops for patrol duty and
bendlt activiti ss along the border. and
OF disaffection on the part OF some
OF the Carranza garrisons are phases
of the situation which are not so

TODAY's BEAUTY HELP

You can keep your hair at its very
best by washing it with teaspoonful
of canthrox dissolved in a cup of
hot water, afterward rinsing thor
oughly with clear water. One finds
that the hair dries quickly and even
ly, is unstreaked, bright, soft and
very fluffy, so fluffy, in fact, that it
looks more abundant than it is, and
SO soft that arranging it becomes a
pleasure. This simple, inexpensive
shampoo cleanses the hair and scalp
thoroughly of all dandruff and dirt,
and leaves a clean, wholesome feel
ing. All scalp irritation will disap-
pear, and the hair will be brighter
and glossier than ever before.-Advt.
